~Chapter 2~

Heyy guys! Thank y'all for 310+ followers!! I love y'all so much! So, Idk if anyone is even gonna do anything, but I'll be putting a question at the end of each chapter. Anyways, enjoy, y'all!

Ethan:

I walked back home after classes ended. Yes! I made it through without anyone noticing anything was wrong! I smiled to myself and reached home, going up to my room. There sat Emma, my wonderful lovely sister. I smiled at her and sat down next to her on the bed. 'Hey, Em. How was your day today?' She smiled and nodded, speaking in sign language: "Yes, it was great! What about yours?" 'Fine, as usual.' I shrugged off.

Emma was fourteen, and she was in eighth grade. She's also 5'8", which is pretty tall for her age. Oh right, and she can't speak, so she communicates in sign language. 'Hey, you know Felix right?' I asked her, and she nodded. 'So, he's having a sleepover tonight with a few boys from the gang. I told him I'd be bringing you along. You down for it?' She nodded excitedly and quickly spoke: "Yes, yes, yes!" I laughed and ruffled her short hair. 'Alright, be ready at nine, kay?' She nodded, smiling. Gods, I love her so much. I don't know what I'd do if she was gone.

Okay, look. Under normal circumstances, you would think that a fourteen year old girl hanging around a bunch of guys in their early twenties is highly unsafe. Under. Normal. Circumstances. These aren't "normal" in any way. Emma isn't that "boy-crazy teen girl who always has a crush". She's probably more boyish than I am. Emma hangs out with guys all the time, and the only girl she's friends with is Sophia, and no one else. The rest all boys are her friends. That's perfectly fine with me, unless someone tries to take advantage of her. Or vice versa, you never know.

At about nine, we both set out to Felix's house. I got the address beforehand from Jordan. After we reached, I rung the doorbell. This guy's rich too. Was my first thought. Gah, stupid brain, shut up! An elderly woman, with grey dtreaks in her amber hair opened the door. She had a soft smile on her face and the edges of her eyes were crinkled with smile-lines. 'Oh, you must eb Ethan, and Emma! You both look so lovely! Come in, come in. I'm sure the boys will be waiting for you.' She gushed, and Emma discreetly grabbed my hand tightly. I clutched it back. We were not used to affection, especially from strangers. It felt weird, after being neglected for our whole lives. 'If you need anything, just tell me! I'm Lily, by the way! Felix's mother.' She smiled again, and walked up the staircase.

I shook my head and looked at Emma, silently conveying a message: either this lady was very nice or a serial killer.

She nodded, and we saw the boys sitting in a circle, talking to each other. Thomas and Jordan were making out, obviously, in a corner of the room. Felix was occasionally joining in the conversation, otherwise just sticking with himself. He saw me and Em, and called us over. Jordan and Thomas had finally stopped making out. I mean, I'm happy for them but they're grossly in love. Ugh.

I rolled my eyes and looked at Emma, who was talking to everyone on a piece of paper, writing whatever she wanted to say. She quickly became popular amongst the gang and had everyone rolling in tears. Felix was smiling widely, Thomas and Jordan were the people laughing in question, and Grayson and Ash were laughing as well. Soon, someone suggested a game of Truth or dare. Well fuck.

Felix:

Emma is really nice, she's really sweet and cool. In a non-weird way, of course. And Ethan is more likeable. Huh. Maybe he's not so Cold-hearted as I've heard from the many girls he's dumped. He's also really cute. And he has anice smile. His eyes are really pretty, and-

No; shut up, me. I scolded myself, bringing my head back to the truth or dare game. Jordan went first. 'Alright... Thomas, truth or dare?' he asked his boyfriend, who smirked. 'Dare. Bring it on, love.' Jordan chuckled darkly. 'I dare you to mix ketchup and mustard. And eat it. With bread.' He grinned as Thomas went pale, his eyes widened in horror. 'NO. Fuck no.' 'Well you can't back out now, babe. Well? Go on!' Jordan ushered him, as we all laughed silently, watching Thomas make the concoction he said he absolutely hated. And the one that Jordan, for some reason, absolutely loved.

'Eww... What the fuck, Jordan? How do you even swallow this?' Thomas gagged after gingerly taking a bite of the bread ketchup-mustard sandwich. We all laughed as he sat down, muttering 'Gross, man.' to himself. 'Ugh, anyways, Felix! Truth or dare?' Thomas asked me. Hmm... If I pick truth he's definitely gonna ask mr who's my crush and that's hella annoying. And fucking cliche. I'll go with dare. Pretty sure it'll still be cliche though. 'Dare, Wale.' I smirked to Thomas, who smirked back. 'I dare you to kiss Ethan on the lips for fifteen seconds.' Shit. No, you've got to be kidding me! I glanced at Ethan, who's eyes were widened in shock, his face slightly red. I'm pretty sure my face was red too. 'What the hell, Thomas?' I hissed, glaring at him. He only smirked. That fucking bastard. 'I ain't blind, Hunter. I saw you staring at him for like, the past ten minutes.' Gods I hate this guy. His observation skills are too accurate. I looked at Ethan again, who was rapidly conversing with Emma in sign language. Everyone else seemed pretty confused. Not me.

I know ASL. So, I looked at the sibling duo.

Emma: "You don't have to do this if you don't want to, Ethan. Just tell them you're uncomfortable."
Ethan: "No, it's fine, Em. I'll be fine. Okay? Trust me, I wouldn't do this if I didn't want to."

Emma still looked pretty worried, and Ethan just seemed flustered, and nervous, which, I'm pretty sure, is how I looked in that moment. 'Uhm... Okay?' Ethan said.  That conversation... Seems weird. Did something happen to him in the past? Did- No, maybe I'm just thinking too deep. He probably feels nervous about kissing a stranger for a dare. Yeah, that's probably it. I still asked him once, to be sure. 'Uh.. You're fine with this, right?' He nodded. 'Yeah let's just get this over with.' He said, and I leaned in to him slowly. I could feel his breath, and I could see his pink lips parting very slightly,as I joined our lips together. It felt awkward, but after a few seconds it felt nice. Natural. Like it was meant to be. Gods, that's cheesy.

I was lost in the feeling, my eyes closed as I soaked up the feeling of his lips on mine. A few seconds later, Emma clapped her hands once. We knew the fifteen seconds were over. I hurriedly parted away from Ethan, and he did the same, a palm over his cheeks to dull the flush of red that had risen to his face. My entire body felt hot, and I was still slightly dazed. What the hell just happened?

Heyy guys! So this was chapter two! Oh my gods, 1300 words!! I'll try to update as regularly as I can, but I might be busy. Ninth grade is seriously shit. Oh well. Here's the question:

What do y'all think of Emma? Is she going to be a villain or the hero of the story?

Toodles!
