1 CHAPTER 1
The sun is up and shining through a little space from the almost uncovered window as the ray of sunshine is directly hitting on Emma's face. It was a fine and beautiful morning; the faint chirping of the birds, dewdrops over the green grass, and the gentle cool breeze. It was indeed a pleasant day, not until the alarm rang at full volume breaking the peaceful atmosphere.
Emma who is still in bed being wrapped in her lush white sheet, reached for her vibrating alarm clock on her nightstand. She covered her head with the sheet and was about to go back to sleep until someone knocked at her door
"Young miss, please wake up or you will be late again" a mature female voice spoke outside the door and informed Emma.
She pulled the soft sheets away from her still sleepy face and groaned "I'm already up! I'll be down in a few"
When she heard the maid outside started to walk away, she slowly got off her queen-sized bed and went to her bathroom. As she takes a quick shower, the hot water hitting her face awakens her from drowsiness. After taking a bath, she went to her walk-in closet and wore her school uniform. It was a white polo and gray tie with a maroon vest, matching off with an above-the-knee gray pleated skirt. After fixing her light brown wavy hair and touching her face with very light makeup; she grabbed her luxurious bag and stepped out of her room.
She hurriedly walked through the big halls down to the stairs and walked toward the dining area. The smell of coffee which enveloped the room greeted her. At the dining table, her mother was gracefully eating her breakfast while her father was sitting at the end of the table as he read his newspaper.
"Good morning mom!" Emma enthusiastically greeted her mother as she leaned in next to her mother to kiss her on the cheek.
"Good morning sweetie"
"Good morning dad!" she greeted and did the same thing to her father
"Good morning sweetheart, aren't you late again?" her father asked as he flipped through his newspaper, not breaking eye contact away from it.
"Yes, but compared to yesterday, I'm early today" to which she replied stuffing bread into her mouth while avoiding her mother's glare for her lack of manners at the table. To avoid getting a lecture from her mother she decided to get up from her seat.
"Are you going now?" her father asked again
"Yes I don't want to be more late than I already am" she replied as she walked out. As soon as her driver saw her stride out through the front door, he immediately opened the car door for her. After sitting down in the car, Emma immediately reached into her backpack to get her phone.
'Hi, Drakie! Isn't it another lovely morning today? I hope you are doing well today. Anyway, I hope you have time to spare today to have lunch with me <3'< p>
After sending a text, she showed an excited smile. Just the thought of having lunch together with Draco made her heart flutter with glee. She looked outside the window, wishing the time would run faster.
------------------------------------------------
After running at full speed, Emma finally arrived at her lecture classroom with a exhausted look. She stopped at the door, hand on her knees while gasping for air. Looks like the class hasn't started yet seeing the students chattering and minding their own business. After catching her breath ,Emma slowly walks toward her seat.
"Thank God, I made it in time" she said as she took a seat next to a brunette color haired girl. Emma put her arms on the table and laid her head on top of it.
"No you're not, the bell already rang and our professor is running late so lucky for you" Rosette refuted on her best friend as she continued reading on her book. Rosette Fox is the smartest student in the class, it is a wonder how she became friends with Emma when she was an introvert which was the opposite of Emma.
"As I said, right on time" Emma muffled, still resting her head on the table.
Minutes later, their professor went inside and started the class. Meanwhile, Emma was secretly holding her phone under the table waiting for Draco's reply. Her lips formed into a thin line hoping he saw her text.
------------------------------------------------
After class, Emma and Rosette went into the cafeteria while holding their lunch tray. Emma looked around, searching for a tall blond haired boy. Rosette who is next to her saw her actions and furrowed her brows in confusion.
"What are you doing?" she asked, slightly stretching her head forward
"I'm supposed to have lunch with Draco but I can't find him anywhere"
"Oh of course, him again. Why did I even ask" Rosette commented as she rolled her eyes, then she grabbed a plate of macaroons. After finding an empty spot they both took a seat.
*Ding!*
Emma's phone suddenly buzzed, flashing Draco's text on the screen. Emma straight away unlocked her phone and read his message
'I'm sorry for the late response but I'm very busy today, maybe next time'
Emma slowly dropped her shoulders as her face turned from excitement to disappointment in an instant. Rosette noticed her sudden change of mood so she snatched the phone away from Emma's hands. After reading, she scoffed and turned the phone off.
"Again? Isn't it the 3rd time already? He's avoiding you" she said as she slid the phone toward her.
"Don't say that, maybe he's just really busy" Emma denied while forcing a smile. She is clearly upset but is trying to hide it.
Hearing this, Rosette brutally stabbed her macaroons, "What do you even see in him? He has a terrible personality"
"He's my childhood friend Rose, I know him better than anyone" Emma said softly as she looked down at her plate.
--------------
After eating Emma decided to wait outside the library as Rosette returned her borrowed books. As she was standing near the window, something caught her eye. Not far below is a yellow haired man, she can't be mistaken… that guy is Draco!
And is that a girl beside him?
