"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash."

I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before."
I lean...
This song cuz Emily is a bad bitch. Okay I'll stop being cringe. This is a long-ass chapter and I myself don't know where I got the motivation to actually sit and type this much, cuz I ain't got motivation for literally anything else. Anyway, enjoy.

Emily's P.O.V.
"Cat got your tongue?"
"How original." I snorted.
"Sorry, what was that?" He said clearly oblivious to his idiocy.
"How generous of you to offer help. We're actually a little lost and the map isn't of much help." I covered pretty well, glancing at the map, which really was no help.
Even though I knew my way around the school, three years is a very long time and a lot of classes aren't where they used to be and there are also a number of new classrooms here and there. It's not like I wouldn't have found my way around but if fun is literally knocking on my door, who am I to avoid it.
"Well, you're in luck today because your knight is here to your rescue." He said along with an attempted bow while the, kind of, identical guy behind him groaned running a hand through his hair muttering a 'not again' under his breath.
"I'm Dylan, by the way." He said finally extending his hand which I took looking at him.
It's really him, and he doesn't recognise me. He hasn't changed much, his voice is a little deeper but the tone, the cheeriness is still there. His hair is a slightly lighter brown now but he has the same brown eyes. He is also definitely a foot taller than the 5'1 scrawny teenager I knew 3 years ago. If I didn't already know him, I might have felt a little intimidated.
I was so lost that I almost didn't notice another guy coming forward offering his hand, repeating the action with Lexi. "And I'm Cole." He says in a much calmer tone. "Unfortunately, this asshole's brother."
I have never felt so short in my life, because I'm really not, I'm 5'7 and that's pretty average, these guys are huge. Cole stood being around 6 feet with the same black curls as three years ago just a little longer, with a few strands covering his forehead. He had the same light brown eyes with glasses over them.
I couldn't help but secretly gape at how familiar their vibes are. Aside from the physical changes that came with puberty, they had the same vibe. Dylan still had the playful and mischievous vibe while Cole seemed calm and collected.
I couldn't help but notice a look that I couldn't read on Cole's face when we shook hands. I realised they're waiting for our names while I stand there like an idiot, forgetting my motive and surroundings for a second there. I sensed movement from the corner of my eyes when Lexi shifted, probably to introduce herself but I, not so subtly, cut her off.
"I'm asparagus" I said with a smile, not giving away that I said something that made literally no sense. Lexi gaped at me and the boys just looked confused. "And she's Brocolli." I said pointing at Lexi who muttered 'dumb bitch' shaking her head.
