She's Mine
Unaware of what to come. The following evening, Emma is still tucked in bed without any thought of waking anytime soon, slumber until her mom enters her room, blasting the vacuum purposely. Because of the rackets, Emma was forcefully woken up. She began rubbing her eyes out of maddening and let out an outcry after a stretch. Curling herself into a ball while covering her ears with her pillow. "How long do you want to sleep, the night is gonna fall again by the time you do."
Emma mumbled, "What time is it?" struggling to reach out for her phone, and it was not turning on. "1:45"
Not amused by her mom's joke, she let out a dry laugh as she rolled towards the desk next to her bed to plug her phone in. Once her phone started turning again, with a thump, her mom saw her hit her head against the edge of the bed area. " She's going crazy again, tsk tsk" and left the room shaking her head.
Not believing what her eyes, Emma quickly jumped out of bed, rushing to the bathroom, "NO WAY, it passed one for real."

Once she sat down on the toilet seat, she felt a sharp sting in her stomach. Slowly getting up from the seat, her stomach started to ache more, clinging on her shirt. Quickly sat back down, breathlessly said, "Nope, can't hold it... got to let it go...ughhhh."
-------------
After coming out of the bathroom feeling refreshed again, "Must be the foods we ate yesterday". While rubbing her stomach, she looked at the time again, and her face had gone pale white, "... I'm screwed!" Immediately went into her closet and put out a plain white oversize t-shirt and a short, grabbing her bag and phone ready to leave.
As she sprints out her room, her mom was about to enter with clean laundry and noticed the pajama lying the floor, leaving a trail from her desk to the closet. Furious mom yell at the top of her lungs, "WERE YOU SHEDDING YOUR SKIN??" "I'M SORRYYY", Emma replied as she left the house with the bike.
Finally reaching the university's library, she parked her bike at the parking rack and rushed inside the library. Trying to call Noah, but it kept on going to voicemail. She decided it best to search for him instead while looking for her research books too.
----
Her phone started to ring just when her hands were loaded with books making it difficult to answer the call. Ultimately, she decided to put the books down and staring at her phone, (You finally decided to answer me back.) As soon as she answers his call, he doesn't bother with hello, "Upstair by near the back towards the window." After he hung up, Emma looked back at the books, weakly whispering, "Hopefully, you guys can cheer him up." Striving to lift her mood, she tied up her hair into a ponytail focusing a smile on her face and went up the stairs with a load of books.
Heading to where she was told, she can already tell where Noah was. Since everyone on the second floor was avoiding one particular area. Emma, who hasn't seen him for a while, began to be playful. Sneaking behind him with a "BOO." He turned and stared at her stupidly.
Embarrassed by his reaction, she quickly took a seat across from him and reported, "I'm sorry that I'm late. I kind of overslept." staring into his eyes. It was the first time she looked straight at him. To break the awkward staring contest Emma started, he claimed, "You did your hair. You always had it down." and went back doing his thing. She touched her hair and glanced at him, whispered, "What was that about?" and began focusing on her books.
-----------
Thirty minutes have gone by, with Emma's stomach roaring louder and louder each minute. Emma was fed up with her stomach and was about to go buy something to eat, "Sorry."As soon as she got up, Noah reached for her hand, "Sit." Automatically, she sat back down and he left instead of her. Sitting there dumbfound, her stomach rumbled again. Sadly, putting her head on the table, trying to calm it down, "I'm so hungry-."
All of a sudden she felt a presence beside her, "You're back?" slowly raising her head to welcome Noah back.
"Ah, no. It's me." Startled by a new face so close to her, she backed off and tried to remember who he was but couldn't, "Who are you again?"
"That's so harsh of you, Emma. You don't remember me. Professor Lin's class." Trying to recall again, "... Raymond?" "YUP, what are you doing here by yourself?" asking as he picks up one of the books she was reading. "It's a group assignment," Emma answered while trying to get her book back. "With Noah?" holding it higher as he speaks. "Yes. Give It Back," demanded him.
Raymond gave her a cold stared and asked, "Isn't he dangerous? Need me to stay with you?" pulling her chair towards his. Emma was disturbed by the way he acted and told him off, "Noah isn't like what others think." after getting her book back, she put out her fake smile telling him to leave.

Noah P.O.V
When Noah came back with a bag filled with delicious meals. He saw Emma and another dude together. With a menacing tone," Ha. Look at them having fun." His face darkens, as he sees the dude getting closer to Emma. Before approaching the table, he saw Emma smile at that dude. Unable to retain his emotion, he stumbles hitting a person passing by. As he turned, that person already left like a speed of light after apologizing. Looking at Emma again, he notices that dude wasn't good news.

"Why should I leave? You have gotten prettier, Emma." Raymond scoff and scanned her body. Before he could approach any farther, a murderous aura suppressed him.
"That girl is with me."
