Chapter 2
They walked a couple blocks before Emma spotted Jake and Angel in front of the building that they had agreed to meet at. She waved at them and they waved back as they finally reached. "Someone's awfully happy today. What's the occasion?" Jake said his eyes slowly trailing over Emma before grinning at her, "Its cause... drum roll please.... I know something that you don't." Emma said as she scooted out from under Andrew's arm to the middle of Angel and Jake, her face beaming with pride as she grinned back at him. "That's impossible! I know all" Jake said, dramatically lifting his chin to the sky and causing Andrew to scowl at him.

He shifted uncomfortable at the fact that all three of them were now facing him as though he was in an investigation room. He's palm began to rub the back of his head as he usually did when he was nervous. Emma used her hips to bump Angel, causing her to stumble and stand besides Andrew so they were both facing Emma and Jake.

"These two have been awfully shady" Emma said using her index finger and middle finger to point at them both. "Is that so" Jake said, squinting his deep green eyes as though trying to see them clearer. He used his right hand to scratch his long, thick black hair while putting his left hand on his waist and slightly moving forward.

"My dear Angeline, will you mind explaining this mystery we have at hand?" Angels face turned tint of pink before glancing at Andrew who seemed to be awfully interested with the ground beneath him, "I don't know what you're talking about...." Angel finally said, trailing off and letting her long blonde hair fall and hide her face as she joined Andrew to inspect the ground.

"Your inability to look me in the eye and the fact that you're both starting to sweat makes me think that you're hiding something. That.....and I know you're lying." Emma said as she began to circle them like a vulture getting ready to grab its prey.

Jake let out a mall chuckle as he watched the interesting presentation at hand. Emma stopped behind Angel before putting her head on Angel's shoulder. "You my friend..." She said before skipping to the front of Andrew and tapping his head as though he's some kind of dog. ".....Are dating you my brother." She completed her sentence then jumped in the middle of both of them before swinging her hands around them both, and joining their cheeks together with a wide smile, as though she had won a lottery, playing on her tiny, cute face.

Jake fake gasped, his hand on his chest as he closed his eyes like he was having a heart attack. Emma giggled at his exaggerated reaction, causing Andrew to glare at him. Emma finally let them go before blowing them a kiss and went back to her original position."I can't believe t-" Jake was suddenly cut off as slow clapping was heard.

"Well, well, well if it isn't the little church crew" a voice came out of nowhere; causing them to turn around to see the people they dreaded the most. Andrew's eyes meet with the deep green eyes of the person that stood before them.

"What do you want Derrick." Andrew said, not blinking once as the dead pan look never left his face. Derrick let out a chuckle and shook his head. "Calm down church boy. You don't want to embarrass yourself in front of your girlfriend." His said, his grin growing larger as Andrew draped his arm round Angel, pulling her closer to his side.

"I didn't know Christians dated... Isn't that like against the Ten Commandments or something" Said the other person standing beside Derrick, his deep grey eyes filled with mock as he scratched his chin in fake wonder.

"What? You think we just get married to one of the top twenty people we've slept with? Huh, Walker?" Emma said, her voice soaked with pure disgust. She never really talked much when it came to those two, but Cole Walker seemed to have a way of leaking into her mind and pushing certain buttons.

Cole looked a little taken back by her statement, an unknown emotion flashing in his eyes before his subsequent nonchalant look came back, a smirk forming on his lips. "Cute" He said winking at her before turning to look back at Andrew who seemed as though he would burst any second.

Emma just stared at him, her mind going through the many insults and selecting one to say back at him. In your anger do not sin. She paused and bit her tongue, remembering those words and forcing herself not to say anything.

"I think the green eyed one is hot, what's his name again?" An alluring female voice said, she twisted her long, deep red hair between her fingers, her deep green eyes slowly eyeing Jake.

"It seems Rose has taking a liking to one of you church rats." Derrick said, as he copied his sister in eyeing them before his gaze shifted to Angel then winking at her. Andrew's gaze hardened as he tightened his grip on Angel. Angel turned noticing his tension before gently putting her hand on top of his.

"Let's go." Cole said, his mood abruptly changing from nonchalant as his grey eyes seemed to turn almost black. He paused in his steps, suddenly turning one more time to look at Emma and flashing her his signature smile before he walked away, Derrick and Rose following behind him.

"That Cole guy thinks he's so cool cocky just 'cause everyone is scared of him,. If it wasn't for God I'd punch he's teeth" Emma said folding her arms and letting out a huff. Andrew rolled his eyes at her and shook his head. "That... and you don't even reach up to his shoulder blade." He said as he interlocked her fingers with Angel, who was now laughing at Emma's frustration..

"How can you guys be so calm about this, I'm usually the one who doesn't really bother about them. How did the roles reverse? Emma said her frustration growing as she took in the demeanor of her friends. "Probably because Derrick and Rose didn't say much to annoy us and you always seem to let that Cole guy get into your head." Andrew said, shrugging and only adding to Emma's annoyance. Emma glared at him once more before letting out another annoyed breath, Cole's taunting smile still playing in her head.
