chapter 3

Zedd bumped into Leon's shoulder as he thought that Leon was the reason of Emma's crying. Emma cried her heart out until she was fully calmed. Not long after, she heard some girls talking about her. She leaned over close to the stall door without making a single sound and heard; "I can't believe that Emma, pretend like she's the innocent one but is a man stealing bitch. We gotta teach her a lesson before we lose our handsome prince. you're absolutely right Becca!". "Becca?! our class president?!! is she jealous of me? But what have I done?!" Emma thought to herself. They left as soon as they heard the toilet being flushed, as they didn't want anyone to know about their plan. Emma came out of the stall and starred at the mirror with her gloomy eyes thinking how bad luck she got today and it's all because of the freaking new transferred guy. She clutched her fist tightly and let out a huge sigh of relief. "The day is finally over". Emma thought to herself. She couldn't attend any classes today thanks to Leon and now her classmates are throwing a fit on her, just because they thought she was flirting with him when the homeroom teacher assigned the task for her. Teens can be really immature sometimes and that's their nature.

The school bell rang as 5 o'clock struck. All of the students were packing their bags hurrying to get home as soon as possible to meet their beloved parents but for Emma, only loneliness is awaiting at home for her, she held her weeping inside her and faced the reality. While she was walking on the usual path to home, the same black Matt BMW came and parked Infront of her. Leon stepped out and held Emma's hand saying he's million times sorry for making her cry, Emma shook her head and said it was not his fault but he didn't believe and kept saying he wanted to do something in return for making her sad and wanted her to take for a dinner at five star hotel. Even though Emma kept declining his offer he wouldn't give up, she got infuriated and screamed at him even louder; "I said NO!" Leon stepped back and realised that this is the first time that anyone had declined his date. He felt interested in her actions and started walking towards her even closer, Emma stepped backwards with fear in her eyes not knowing what he is going to do. "LEON!" a familiar voice not so far yelled, Emma turned around and it was Mr.David. "Look at you! First day of school and now harassing a girl, your father would be so disappointed in you" Mr.David complained while Leon kept bowing his head and apologising non stop. Emma felt relieved and let out a sigh. Leon went back to his car and so Emma was about to turn to leave. But then Mr. David called Emma's name and asked her if he did anything to her and said if he does anything report to him immediately first. Emma bowed and politely said yes and went back to her home. "Hmm. Feels good to be home, no worries no tension neither drama". She stretched and went for a cold shower as it was summer nights. When she was done she was craving for a lemon tart with chocolate chips on the top. Even though it's a weird dish it was her all time favourite and her mother's too, all the ingredients were at home because she usually makes lots of them. All of a sudden her phone rang, it was a call from her childhood friend and her bestfriend Kristine. Emma wondered why would she be calling her this late. Emma picked her phone and answered. On the other hand Kristine yelled saying she has a great news. Emma chuckled and said her to calm down. "Emma! you won't believe what my uncle just said, he told me that his boss has been searching for a maid who could keep his house clean and to take care of his son's basic stuff, and dang girl the pay is unbelievable 5000$ a month can you believe it?! you know my uncle works as a personal driver for a very powerful politician and due to this he was the first person to know about the offer. Kristine spilled everything in one breathe. Emma was shocked by seeing the amount of money they were willing to pay and she asked Kristine why isn't she going to take the offer. Kristine replied "I'm not the one who needs money and job right now, it's you, as I am in an organisation at the moment it would be the best if you take the offer." Emma said to Kristine that she would think about the offer and would give an answer the next day and hung up the phone call. Emma was touched by seeing her bestfriend trying so hard to put her life together. she thanked god for having such a good friend. Emma couldn't sleep the whole night cause she was thinking about what Kristine said and above all of that she mentioned specifically that the boss wants the maid to take care of his son's stuff which is kind of odd. She stayed up the whole night overthinking about it and she finally hit the sack at morning 5o'clock.
