"Hi! I'm Natalie Palmer, a new transfer student."
Natalie. Stupid name for her stupid face.
°°°
"Anyways. Nicole. Your accent, your Italian?" Em asked with the sweetest fake voice she could use.
"Sì"
°°°
"You're a Kingsman? And you're Italian, which means-"
"Yes."
"Uh- S-Sorry t-to brother you, s-sir."

Now...
"What do you mean?" Emilia asks.
"You know..." Hannah says, as if she expected Emilia to say something.
"Know...what?" Emilia had a feeling they were talking about Ace being in the mafia, but what was she to say? 'Oh yeah, I do know Ace is in the Italian Mafia.' ? she wasn't stupid, what if they were talking about something else? Like: 'You knew Ace was an absolute f*cking idiot?' which she did know, by the the way.
Hannah, Hailey and McKenna, along with all the other guys looked at Em expectantly.
Ace finally got enough and rolled his eyes. "The f*ck you guys staring at her for? Yes, Emily knows exactly who I am, now get your f*cking eyes off her."
Ghee...what crawled up his butt.
Everyone at the table gasped. "Really? Finally, and Em, before you get mad at us for not telling you, believe me. we wanted to, but it wasn't our secret to tell." Kenny had a point.
"Relax guys, I am not mad. I understand. Luckily I did not just find out on my own and Ace actually told me himself." Emilia then turned to Ace and said with a straight face. "Oder wer weiß. Ich würde ihn wahrscheinlich umbringen." [Or who knows. I would probably emd up killing him.]
"What was that?" McKenna asks.
"Nothing Kenny, just a german inside joke." Emilia smiles.

"Have you seen the new guy?"
"Yes. He is fine as F."
"He might be fine, but Ace is foiiine!"
For the past twenty minutes, everyone's been talking about new guy and were constantly comparing him with Ace. Of course, Ace has more attractive attributes so he could effortlessly one up this new guy.
"Yo, King what up?" It was Tristan, one of Ace's football buddies. He approaches Ace and they both do a bro hug.
"Chapman, wassup? How's that ankle?" Ace asks in genuine curiosity.
Guess Mr. Bad Boy just got a little less...bad.
Tristan does a slight spin on his previously injured ankle, to show that it was fine. "Fine enough to beat the sh*t outa the West high wolves this Saturday, whatcha say King?"
Ace gives a sly grin and fist bumps Tristan: "I say we kick some a*s Chapman."
"Alright... So, whose the new B?" Tristan asks, switching to a different topic.
"What?"
"Come on, Ace. I know you, you always got a new B." Tristan chuckles.
For a split second, Emilia's face flashed in Ace's mind, but then he remembered that Tristan referred to her as B sort of angered him a bit.
B reminds him of those queen b*tches... Bailey, Booger and Barb.
"First of all." Ace begins. "I'm not seeing anyone, and if I was, she would not be referred to as B."
Hey look y'all, Ace got Emilia's lying traits.
"Ooh, has someone finally managed to tame the untameable? Who is she?" Tristan asks.
"She- doesn't exist. You know me Chap, I'm not a one woman man." he lies, giving Tristan a light pat on the shoulder before smoothly walking away.
Those were the words that left his mouth. The words he lead Tristan to believe. However, deep down, he somehow felt as if he was lying. Truth be told, he hadn't slept with anyone else since Em, and he wasn't planning to. After all that talk about her being his, and him being hers, was now engraved into his skull.
But as Em said, they were better now than they were dating.
These people confuse me.
As Ace roamed the hallways, not minding that he was suppose to be in class at this time. He was contemplating whether to interrupt Mr. Menly's math class so he could see Em or to just wait for the final bell to ring, when out of the blue, his contemplation was interrupted by a palm of his chest.
"Ace. There you are, I've been looking for you." Brittney's sickeningly sweet voice comes as she placed her other hand around Ace's neck.
"Becky, if you don't get your-"
"Shh, baby. I've missed you so much. I know you missed me too." Brittney cooed, forcefully smashing her lips to Ace's without warning.
I know the following events are cliché but yup, you guessed it. Emilia took this sweet moment to walk down this specific, lonely hallway.
"You must me f*cking kidding me." Emilia curses.
Hearing her voice, Ace quickly pushed Brittney off him.
"Sh*t, Em, I can explain."
"Save it, Ace. We are not even dating." Emilia takes one last glance at Brittney's smug face, suddenly the cold Slushie she got from the Slushie machine a few minutes ago that she didn't like seemed to have use. Emilia squints her eyes at Brittney before emptying the contents of the cup onto her face, turning that smug smile inside down. Then Emilia proceeds to saunter off like the future drama queen she is. Ace attempts to call out to her but of course she doesn't respond.
Ace runs his hand throughhis hair in frustration "First of all." He begins. "I've only slept with you once, and that one time, I came to know that your vagina is loose as sh*t. Stay the f*ck away from me Brigette." He then leans down close to her ear and whispers. "Or your dead body might just turn up in a ditch somewhere." Before rushing after Em. Leaving Brittney there angry, cold and wet.
Heh. That's what she said. Stop.

"Believe me Em. There is nothing going on between Becky and me. Sh*t- see? I can't even get her name right! Trust me, she came on to me." Ace defended, entering Emilia's condo behind her.
"I know. I just picked a fight so we could have angry make up sex afterwards." Emilia smiles with mischief. "Plus, I got to give Brina a face Slushie."
For a few seconds, Ace didn't know what to say, so he listened to the part of his. body that had a lot to say. "Okay then- in that case. If you hadn't interrupted, I would've f*cked Becky right in those hallways." Ace says, getting all up in Emilia's face. "What you gonna do about it?"
•T I M E S K I P•
"So. Just to be clear. There is not anything between you and that bimbo is there?" Emilia questions as she traces invisible circles on Ace's abs.
"Yes, there is actually." Ace mumbles, running his hand through Emilia's hair.
Emilia's head shot up immediately in confusion and anger. "The hell?"
"-A f*cking invisible brick wall." Ace smirks.
Emilia chuckles in realization and playfully slaps his chest.
