It was the end of class, and most of the girls surrounded the lecturer, one of the girls started talking "Mr Thomas~ won't you go see a movie with us?" Another chimed in, "Yeah it's the first showing of one of the detective novels we've seen you reading during lunch." "Oh won't you come, it won't be as fun without you~." Another added.
Mr Thomas looked around and gave them each a warm smile, "Sorry ladies, I have plans today. Maybe next time?" He added that without really meaning it, however, it caused the girls around him to beam happily and adopt excited looks. "Well, then we'll see you next week in class." They said their goodbyes and the girls left in a group, they were chattering about their plans for the weekend and what they're planning to ask Mr Thomas to do when he finally agrees.
As they left Em was pouting jealously at the girls, she didn't even look away when they'd left. She wanted to spend time with Mr Thomas too, however, she couldn't bring herself to ask. She finally turned away from the door they left by when she heard a sigh coming from beside her, "Girlie just ask him, there's no harm to ask is there?" Ren covered her mouth and stifled a yawn. "And if you're gonna do it, do it soon. He's leaving and I want to go home."
This snapped Emma out of her trance, she hurriedly grabbed her things and ran out of the door following Mr Thomas. Mr Thomas has just turned a corner when Emma grabbed his sleeve lightly. He stopped walking and turned to face Emma, she suddenly became anxious.
'What if he says no? What if he thinks I'm weird? What if he agrees to go on a date with me but with me being such a clumsy person I trip and make him fall? What if I embarrass myself and make him hate me?' With all these doubts in her mind, she decided to give up, but was suddenly filled with courage when he smiled sweetly and asked, "Is something the matter, Emma?"
"Ah I-" Emma swallowed her saliva and continued, "Would you go see a movie with me? Or we could go to a restaurant- or-" she stopped and looked up at him expectantly.
Mr Thomas patted her head gently and looked at her apologetically, "Sorry Emma, I'm busy and… why don't you ask someone else?" She looked at him calmly in hopes of hiding how embarrassed she was. "Ah, right, of course. Well… see you." He let go of her head and turned to leave, "See you next week."
Emma waited for a minute or so and decided to run out of the school, she didn't feel like dealing with Ren's teasing and sarcasm right now.

Emma, who was freshly out of the shower, picked up her phone to silence the consistent beeps. She knew she should've turned off her notifications. She opened her phone and realised they were all texts from Renée.
16:34 [Mommy Ren💖]: Girl, you totally left me here!!!
16:34 [Mommy Ren💖]: I was waiting for you
16:35 [Mommy Ren💖]: I didn't know you left till one of the professors was leaving and asked why I was standing by the gate-
16:35 [Mommy Ren💖]: I told him I was waiting for you
16:35 [Mommy Ren💖]: Bro. He looked at me PITIFULLY. He probably thought I was ditched.
16:35 [Mommy Ren💖]: Which I WAS- why'd you leave??
16:39 [Mommy Ren💖]: Are you good? Why aren't you replying?
16:40 [Mommy Ren💖]: Ah did he reject you- are you ok? It can't be that bad…
16:40 [Mommy Ren💖]: C'mon talk to me 😩
Emma sighed and hastily replied,
16:40 [You]: Ahhhh, you couldn't have waited long. Don't be so mad~~ 😔
16:40 [You]: Since you led me to have such heartbreak you have to come out and listen to my problems tmw ok?
Ren immediately answered,
16:41 [Mommy Ren💖]: Same coffee shop you like?
Emma smiled sadly,
16:41 [You]: Yep, same time as usual. Don't be late-
Emma sighed and closed her phone, she didn't have much of an appetite. She told her parents she didn't want dinner and decided she would head straight to bed. After all, recently she'd been staying up later to play the new event that came out in her favourite game. It was called Genshon Impacts. She'd been playing for a while and spent most of her allowance on the characters. Who could blame her, after all, everyone would want these milfs and dilfs.
She laid down in bed, closed her eyes and thought about the new character that came out, she lost the 50/50 to her C2 Kiki but was hoping to get the returning character Ayaya sometime during the update.
She pulled the covers over her head and drifted soundly off to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emma's alarm had been ringing non-stop for over 10 minutes now, eventually, Emma stirred. She reached her hand outside her covers and searched around her bedside table for where she left her phone yesterday.
In hopes of finding and turning off the annoying ringing, she swept the table and accidentally sent her phone flying off. It hit the ground with a loud thump. This caused Emma to slowly get out of bed.
She sat up and rubbed her eyes groggily. The ringing hastened her movements, where she'd usually sit on her bed for about 10 minutes contemplating random thoughts that would only come to the heads of those that aren't in the right state of mind.
Such as last week when she thought selling croissants covered in jam would be a good idea, like how people eat toast with jam for breakfast… right?
Anyway, she got up and picked up her phone, she turned off the alarm and checked the time. It was 11:48. Meme blinked.
It was 11:48… Emma rubbed her eyes and checked the time again, IT WAS 11:48! "SHIIIT-!" Emma yelled out after realising what this meant.
"Emma, be quiet!" Emma's mother called out to her, "I'm watching something down here, I can't hear them if you're screaming!" Emma pulled her hair lightly with her free hand. "Sorry!" She called out in response.
Emma hurriedly put her phone down on the table and went to one of the doors in her room, her room was quite big. It was on the second floor, her room had 4 doors in her room, 1 led to the hallway by the stairs, and another to the balcony connected to her room which looked over the garden. Another led to her decently large walk-in closet and the last opened to her personal bathroom.
There was 1 door on each side of the room, the bed was in the corner between the doors leading to the balcony and closet. The balcony door was right next to the bedside table. Whereas the closet door was right next to the foot of the bed. The bathroom door was opposite the balcony door and the last door, the door leading to the stairs was diagonal to the closet door.
Emma hurriedly went into her bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. After she had finished cleaning up she quickly threw open the closet door and debated what to wear.
She could tell she was almost out of time, so with little thought, she grabbed a yellow floral sundress. Emma pulled it on, the sundress reached halfway down her thighs. She judged her reflection in the mirror and decided to take accessories from within the draw on her bedside table.
She carefully put on a white-gold necklace and bracelet set, each had a small flower in the middle of the chain. She looked at herself again in the mirror and nodded as if thinking that she approved of her spur-of-the-moment outfit.
She checked the time and saw that she was already late. She rushed out of her room, down the stairs and hastily pulled on her white ankle boots, she called out to her mum about leaving and ran out of the door.
Emma hailed a cab and asked them to drive her to the local cafe, it took about 15 minutes to get there, including traffic. She paid and left before she could receive the change.
