Chapter 36

*****Sofia's POV*****

"No Emma, I honestly can't believe it!" I rant out, my thoughts still seeming frozen from the night before as I struggled to digest it.

"You've not only kissed Vincent, but now you've kissed Daryl too! All in just over a week of being in town! It's unheard of Sofia... you have them both under some sort of spell - are you a witch?!" Emma suddenly gasps, before cackling loudly at her own joke which causes me to giggle too.

It was the next day at school, as we both currently sat at break, and it was my first chance to catch up with Emma properly after last night.

Sure, I had text her as soon as I got home of course, but ten minutes after getting in my apartment I was horrified to find my neighbours snooping around outside my door and understandably that became a whole drama in itself.

I got so scared, hearing them creeping around outside the door, even trying the handle at one point - to which I even debated on texting Daryl to come over for help.

But I knew that I couldn't, since I didn't want to reveal my truth to anyone...

That I lived alone, in a crappy empty apartment in what seems to be known as the worst part of town - which on that note, was fully living up to its reputation with my neighbours being assholes.

"So tell me all about it! All I got last night was a text saying 'we kissed' before you went missing in action, I didn't hear back from you until this morning!" Emma giggles, as we sat at a table outside today since the sun had eventually made an appearance in town.

Shaking the events of my attempted break in from my mind, I force a smile out at my friend.

"So we went for ice cream, and this big guy started to complain because I was taking a moment to order... and because he was rude to me, Daryl lost his temper a little..." I recite what had happened, as Emma pulls a 'damn' face.
