Chapter 90: Truant {3}
The mont we made eye contact I think my blood ran cold, the look she gave
wasn’t exactly satisfying or hateful either, I could not explain it but it made
more anxious as I took aching steps towards her, maybe this was a bad idea.
But the hot whelming eagerness to ask about Dace overridden my brain to stay away, I couldn’t stop my body now, because I was moving with that, there was no going back down. I opened my mouth to say sothing.
"Emma, there you are’’ Henry wrapped his arm around my neck pulling
to him, that was when we broke eye contact. "So prom..." he began and I looked behind , only to find out that Emilia was gone, great just great.
"Whatcha looking at?"
"N-Nothing"
He raised an eyebrow. "You sure?"
"Yeah, we should get going, Exams will start soon"
"Yeah yeah sure and after that let’s talk about prom, your first prom ever in Juneau High" he seed overly enthusiastic now, but I didn’t match the level of his excitent.

After Exams
"What do you an you haven’t attended prom before," Henry said like he heard
wrong, his hazel eyes with a mix of confusion. He gazed upon like I was so strange being.
I shrugged.
"Well, she said it," Miles said.
"You didn’t attend in Washington?" Owen asked this ti.
I nod my head before poking my salad. "I stayed ho reading manga," I said with a shrug.
"Whoa! She’s serious" Henry said in a whisper like we didn’t hear him, what was the big deal? I wasn’t a fan of prom, because of people and I don’t think I will, and what more, dresses, makeups, and all that stuff wasn’t really my thing.
"Well, you have to attend," Miles intoned.
"There’s always a start for new things"
My eyes darted to Owen who gave
a bright smile, he was right though, but I wasn’t exactly feeling it.
"You could go with Owen, trust
he would love it," Miles said with a smug grin.
"Hey!" Owen snapped at him and Miles and Henry snickered, I just giggled.
"Thanks, guys, but prom isn’t really my thing" my smile suddenly fades.
"Hey, what’s wrong," Owen asked suddenly worried, he seed to always know when I have a change of mood, and I forced a smile to his answer.
"Sarah," I said and it was like the air was sucked out around the table we sat. "Haven’t seen her" maybe I shouldn’t have ntioned her na because the mood seed to break imdiately but I couldn’t stop the curiosity within .
"Yeah she can’t write the Exams," Henry said in a stern tone.
"She can’t co to school either," Miles said this ti.
"What do you an?" I asked with perplexity.
"Sarah won’t attend Juneau high anymore, that was part of her punishnt," Owen said.
"O-Oh" I leveled my gaze, feeling sowhat uncomfortable. "I-I need to use the restroom" I abruptly rose to my feet. "See you guys" I walked away before they could say anything,
I took a deep shaky breath rubbing my forehead, well I did not expect that, Sarah won’t school here anymore? That was just part of her punishnt? I don’t know why but I felt sorry for her.
"Great" I sighed before opening the door, I wasn’t exactly going for a pee, I just needed to escape the gang, I saw their looks when I asked about Sarah, they were sad looks, I had a feeling that they couldn’t do anything even if they wanted to, they felt sorry for her and maybe I did too.
She had her reasons and I understand that but she went too far, I could have been killed, I ntally asked myself why she would go that far, I knew quite well it was all because of Dace.
I turned on the tap, she must have really had feelings for him, maybe she loves him to that extent, ’Love’ my eyes to the mirror, what exactly does that feel like? To love, my parents didn’t exactly have love and I never got to experience that from them. Maybe I could have understood it a little. I never knew my dad and my mom never talked about him, all I knew was he was out of the picture before I even ca to this world.
But sotis I saw it in my mom’s eyes even though she didn’t talk about it, she was sad and hurt.
I sighed, taking off my glasses and splashing so water on my face, before using the wipe on it and putting on my glasses. I almost scread when I saw Emilia behind , but what escaped
was a gasp.
"You don’t look good, Emma" she began in her usual cold tone walking to the sink beside
and fixing her looks.
She always looks perfect, her dressing mocking mine in a good way, I was always the one to admire good things and not envy them, that was the kind of person I was... even now I couldn’t take my eyes off her, she was so beautiful that it made my heart ached, and looking at her reminded
of Dace and I felt that tight feeling in my chest again.
"Rather than stare... if you’re gonna ask just ask," she said, applying her mascara which I still rembered the na of after our encounter at the mall, so that was how it works, no wonder my mom applies it this much, it brings out your eyelashes.
She cleared her throat and I jumped slightly away from my thoughts.
"I-I-I haven’t heard from Dace, his line been switched off, he missed the exams"
She huffed. "Is that what you are worried about?"
"I an he’s smart he could take makeup exams"
She snickered, opening the lid of sothing and I saw sothing red, oh I know that one, it was lipstick.
She faced
with her raised eyebrow and the words left .
"I’m worried about him"
