Dereck's Downfall

Alex woke up, his eyes adjusted to the light emitting from the TV, after the events with Em last night he stayed up and watched TV until passing out. His mother had woken him up for school, she handed him some synthesized food and his backpack for the day, he gave her a kiss on the cheek and headed towards the bus stop. Last night was definitely tiring. As the school bus rolled around he felt his heart skip a beat, him and Em's eyes met, Em gave Alex a small pity smile as he went to board. The moment was quickly interrupted by the vast amount of students yelling and making a racket on board.

"Hey Alex come sit with me", Em patted the seat next to him, Alex looked at it, he knew if he sat down he'd say something stupid or try and kiss Em, their soul pair was too strong. He kept on walking past the seat and to his normal one at the back of the bus. Em got up, guess he was more determined then Alex originally suspected, Em plopped down into the seat next to him, facing towards Alex. "Look I didn't mean what I said last-" "if you're going to give me emotional whiplash I will fry you like an egg Em", the tone of anger was painfully obvious, "I just wanted to say it was a dare, Dereck was going to give me a burn tattoo if I didn't do it". Just then the bus stopped, as soon as the doors opened Alex ran off the bus, yet Em noticed it wasn't like when he kissed Alex, it was more angry.

Alex rushed through the scanners.
