Chapter 4 Emma's POV

Emma's POV

"There's no way I'm making it out of the door." I replied to him. I was heartbroken.

If not for the fact that the stars never aligned in my favor, mom wasn't supposed to be off work. But Mark decided his sperm bladder couldn't hold on any longer. Ugh! Life sucked!

"That's okay." Kevin texted back.

I felt bad for him, and for me.

"We could make the best of here though." He added, with a winking emoji.

Now that was exciting. At least he wasn't giving up on me.

"That's perfect. What do you say we do?" I was brimming with joy. I was really good at online games and riddles, so I did not have to worry about him trashing me at it.

"I'd love to see more pictures." I was surprised. That definitely wasn't what I was expecting.

"Okay." I replied. I was really still on the fence about it, but it was HIM, KEVIN!

"...without clothes." He added.

My heart flip-flopped in my chest. I was excited and scared at the same time.

"Why should I trust you?" I asked him.

"Because I love you." At that moment, my phone dropped out of my hands. What did I just see?! Kevin!

I catapulted straight to cloud nine, at the same time, got out of my clothes.

I had seen a couple of naked pictures from girls in my class, I knew how they did it. I just was never able to bring myself to.

I was stark naked. Kevin was online, waiting. It was just one thing to do.

I took about five pictures and called it quits. It was really unnatural. I had never done it before, but to many girls in my class, it really wasn't a big deal. I also made sure to crop my face out of it.

"omg!!" Even replied with fire emojis. I felt on top of the world. I was blowing my Crush out. It literally was the first time that had ever happened. No guy I ever liked had looked in my direction.

"Emma, you're so pretty. I never knew you had all this under that hideous uniform." He said again. "Why do we even have to wear those?!" He sent it again.

I was giggling and blushing like a fool. Who would have ever thought I'd be the one to make Kevin spin on his head.

I wish I could project our texts on the school billboard and have those girls see that Kevin had eyes for me.

My ego grew a few inches imagining what they'd look like.

"Emma, you're so fucking pretty. Arghhhh. I want to have you." He kept sending them in broken text.

I was so amused at how I had him dumbfounded.

"Emma, I can't wait to see you tomorrow." He said.

"Emma!" At the same time, I heard my mom call. She must be done with Mark. Ugh.

"Hey Kevin. Sorry, I have to go." I broke the convo, and I was in pain.

"It's alright. I'll see you tomorrow." He replied before going off. I almost hated my mom.

I really couldn't live my own life around.

"What's up?" I replied as soon as I threw my PJs back on and walked into the living room where she was kissing Mark. "Give it a damn break." I said, shielding my eyes

They gave a little laugh before giving each other enough distance.

"Mark is returning." Mom said. I really hoped this wasn't why they called me out.

"Oh. Thanks, Mark, I really appreciate it." I literally didn't know what other thing to say.

"It's okay, kiddo. Take care of your mom." He shot my mom with that puppy look that I have now begun to hate.

"I will. Safe journey." I said before turning back round, so I don't get to be the unfortunate solo audience of all their mushiness.

"I wonder what's wrong with them these days." I caught my mom saying before shutting the door behind me.

I felt the conversation was gonna be unnatural after I broke it off and it was better to chill till we saw each other in school the next day.

The next day...

I had a weird feeling Kevin was avoiding me, but there was nothing to base it on. It wasn't like we used to talk before yesterday. I wasn't expecting him to be head over heels just because he saw my tities(hell, I was!!)

I just kept to myself, after I noticed he was avoiding eye contact.

By lunchtime, almost the whole class was avoiding my eye, and Kevin wasn't in class.

Something was off, or maybe I was overthinking.

I tried to suppress everything. Today was supposed to mark the beginning of my bragging rights against every other popular girl in school who wanted but couldn't have Kevin.

The day passed by in a blur. When I left home, I imagined Kevin would spin his car in front of me and order me to hop in. At the end of the day, I still hadn't seen him, so I could guess that it was impossible.

I got home, but my mind was still very much in school. I was the only one, so no distraction was strong enough to take my mind off it. Something was definitely wrong with Kevin. I began to feel more bothered. I also had not heard them march up in their apartment.

"What would you do that for?!" I heard sudden screams in the hallway.

"What the fuck does that even mean?!" This time, it was Kevin's voice. That was a good and bad thing. There was Kevin, but all wasn't well.

"You're just a stupid fucker." His sister, I guess, shouted back at him.

I couldn't help but move closer to eavesdrop.

"Alright, Mrs Righteous. Do you mind us getting inside before you start this? You know, something along the lines of the walls having ears." Kevin sounded so rude.

Something was up.

I heard them walk past, without any other word.

Now the knot in my chest had tightened.
