Emma-
I was finishing up my work then suddenly the classroom gets quiet. I look up trying to figure out why. Then I see a guy. He's staring at me
"What are you looking at?", I say. He looked embarrassed. I would say I feel bad, but I don't.
I get back to the homework I forgot to finish last night. I feel his eyes on me again. This time I don't look up. What should I care if some human guy is looking at me. They always do until my pack steps in. This time will be no different.
Mr. Jameson introduced the new guy. His name is Max Grey. Mr. Jameson decided to sit Max next to me.
I could here his heart beating. He's nervous. I smirk. Every guy is the same. They think I'm pretty and my body is nice, but they never get up the courage.
"Um... Hi my name is Max. I'm new here.", he says.
"Yeah. I know. Mr. Jameson just told the whole class.", I say.
"Oh. Right. Well what's your name?", he asks.
"Emma. Emma Hunter.", I say shaking his hand. I'm curious about Max. He seems different from other humans. I can't tell whether that's a good or a bad thing.
Mr. Jameson starts role. Once he is done, we dive into the 20's. I love the 20's. The freedom. The parties. Sometimes I wonder if I was born into the wrong era.
Max-
I was sitting through the class trying to pay attention, but my thoughts kept going back to our conversation. I can't seem to get her voice out of my head. finally the bell rang. I hurried to grab my things and talk to her, but when I looked up again she was gone.
Sighing I walk to my next class. Suddenly I realize how out of character it is for me to be so disappointed about not being able to talk to her. That's not normal for me. That's not normal at all. What is happening to me? I can't think about her anymore.
I walk into Calculus and am introduced again. Going to an empty desk I sit. I'm in my head, thinking about Emma. God even her name excited me. What is wrong with me? I felt a tap on my shoulder and turn to look. The boy that tapped my shoulder had short brown hair that matched his eyes. He seemed nice enough.
"Um.. Sorry but that seats taken." the boy says.
"Don't be rude brother. At least introduce yourself first."
I look over and see the same boy. I'm confused for a second then realize they are twins.
"Oh. Sorry. My name's Austin", the boy, Austin, says
"And I'm Matthew.", Austin's twin, Matthew, says.
"We're twins", they say in unison,"but that's kind of obvious." They say again together.
"Um... I'm Max.", I say jumbled. "Is this someones desk?"
"Yeah. Mine." I look up seeing her, the girl from History. "Oh. Sorry." I say getting up. With Austin and Matthew talking I never saw her walk in.
"It's okay.", she says kindly while sitting down. Another girl sits down in front of her. I move further back and sit down again.
Good job Max. Embarrass yourself in front of they girl you like. I look up to see them all talking. They must be friends.
