CHAPTER FOUR

EMMA POV

I groan and force my eyes to open against the sunlight. Trey and I were in the same position I fell asleep in. I look out the window and see it's bright and I start to freak out.

What if I missed my classes?

I reach behind me to grab my phone and I check the time.

It's only 8 which means I have two hours to get home, take a shower, and drive to school.

"Trey." I say.

"Hmm." He hums.

"I gotta go. You gotta let me go." I say pushing him arms off of me.

"No. Stay here." He begs in his rough morning voice. I almost give in but I pull myself together.

"Sorry babe, but I gotta go." I say trying to pull away from him.

"Fine." He groans and then puckers his lips.

"What are you doing?" I laugh.

"Give me a kiss before you go." He says and I lean forward and kiss his lips shortly.

"Alright." I say and he lets me go. I take his shirt off and put my clothes back on. I run a hand through my hair to get the tangles out and then pull the hat on.

"Bye Trey." I say leaving the room and he calls out a tired 'bye' behind me. I walk down the hallway and make a left turn and see Taylor sitting in his kitchen eating cereal.

"Hey baby!" He says, happily.

"Hey, Taylor." I say crossing the kitchen to the stairs and going down to the front door.

"Bye Taylor!" I yell at the door.

"Bye!" He yells back. I open the front door and walk over to my car. I turn the key into the ignition and then back out of the driveway.

I get back to my apartment in about 10 minutes and I walk inside.

"I almost didnt think you were coming back." Hayley says when I walk through the door.

"Well I did." I say dropping my keys and purse on the table by the front door. I walk back to my room and strip out of my clothes to take a shower. When I get out I blow dry my hair and I braid the top and put it in a bun halfway through. I walk out of the bathroom and get dressed into a pair of jeans, a white shirt, a flannel and a brown suede jacket.

I pull Converse on my feet and grab a pair of sunglasses off my dresser and put them on. I grab my black backpack and check to make sure my essay was in there then walked back out of my room.

I walk into the kitchen and grab a bagel and put it in a toaster and make my coffee in a to-go cup.

"You ready to go?" Hayley asks walking into the kitchen.

"Yeah." I say putting the lid on my coffee. "Where's E?"

"She's skipping class today to go somewhere with Cameron." Hayley says, rolling her eyes. I nod and follow her out the front door. We get downstairs and get into her car.

"So how was your night?" She asks me.

"It was good, I guess." I shrug.

"Did you and Trey...?"

"Nah."

"Aw, why not?" She asks. Should I tell her that he's a virgin? I mean she's my best friend and I know she wont tell anyone but still.

"If I tell you this, you cant ever bring it up once we're out of this car." I say and she nods.

"We were about to when he told me he was a virgin and I stopped. I want it to be special for him, not just some random day in his bedroom, that's not special." I explain and she nods.
