Unforgettable
CHAPTER 7
-------------------
The school day passed by all too quickly. I didn't want to go to Emma's house at all. I considered faking sickness, but on second thought, I decided it was best not to. Emma surely knew about me and Braydon, and she would have known I was lying right away. Her brother, a senior in high school, drove all of us back to their house in their family's Cadillac Escalade. Emma sat in the front with him, and Kendall, Lauren, Avery, and I all piled in the backseat. He didn't talk at all, and left right after we got to their house, in a different part of the town. It looked more like a mansion. It had gates, a security system, and was all brick and stone, but I was pleased to see that my old house back in New York had been bigger.
"Okay girls, let's bring our stuff inside!" Emma said.
We lugged our bags and pillows into the house and down into the basement, where there was a small theater room and sealed-off room in which there was a hot tub and sauna. We put our stuff in the middle of the basement, by the huge plasma flatscreen TV.
"So, I was thinking, we have some pizza, with fat-free and organic ingredients. Then we can go in the hot tub. Don't worry about swimsuits, I have you guys covered." Emma started.
We all noticed 4 bikinis hanging on a rack near the hot-tub room. I wondered how she had known our sizes.
"Then," she continued, "we'll watch a movie? And we'll go from there."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Things went smoothly throughout the night. I was really surprised. In the hot tub, Avery suggested we play 'Truth or Dare'.
"What you think this is, Avery, 7th grade?" Emma sneered.
Avery sank down into the hot tub.
"God, I was kidding! We can play later if it means THAT much to you." Emma said.
"Okay, girls! I'm SO wrinkly. Let's watch a movie!"
There were suggestions for a variety of movies, but we settled on Mean Girls. A classic. It was one of my favorite movies. I had always watched it with my friends back in New York. Then I put that thought behind me. I was having a great time with everyone here. These were my new friends. The only thing standing in the way was... Braydon.

Kendall had fallen asleep during the movie, and Emma shook her awake. The rest of us formed a circle with our pillows, blankets, and sleeping bags and put our heads in the center, gossiping about girls at school, the latest hook-ups, break-ups, and even celebrities. I was having a great time, giggling with Lauren, who I found I had the most in common with, talking with Avery, and taking pictures with Emma and Kendall.
"Kay, guys, let's get serious here. Truth or Dare." Emma said with a devilish smile. "Here, someone can start with me."
"Okay, Em, truth or dare?" Kendall said, giggling.
"Truth, of course." Emma said with a toss of her thick blonde hair.
"When was the last time you and Braydon made out?" Kendall asked.
"Really, Kendall, you couldn't think of anything better? Gosh, stupid question." But then Emma laughed and said "Last night; he came over."
"Oooooh!" Everyone said in unison. They went around the circle, (everyone picking truth, I noticed,) and suddenly I was the only one left. Kendall's turn to ask, again.
"Truth or dare.... Mia?"
I smiled, but everyone was looking at me.
"I'll go with.. truth?" I followed their lead.
"Excellent choice," said Kendall. "So, who. do. you, like?" She tapped her finger to her chin.
I had seen it coming.
"Oh, nobody," I said with a laugh, too quickly.
"Are you suuuure?" Kendall said.
I snuck a quick glance at Emma. Her blue-green eyes were narrowed, and she was staring right at me.
"Positive," I told her.
Suddenly, Emma spoke.
"I'm soooo tired, let's go to bed, girls."
Kendall started to protest, but Emma shook her head. Then Emma said,
"Oh my gosh, I totally left my toothbrush upstairs. Can someone come with me to get it? I seriously cannot go without brushing."
No one spoke.
"Okay, Mia, let's go."
My heart pounded. We walked up the stairs and got to her room. It was huge, and painted a deep pink. She had a king-size bed, and the other colors in her room were black and silver. She went into her bathroom and grabbed her toothbrush. But we didn't leave.
"So, um, Mia.. if you like someone, you can tell me. It's not like I'd ever tell anyone, you know that, right? You're like, my best friend."
"I know, Emma, but honestly, I don't. If I did, I'd tell you." I gave a fake smile.
Emma just looked at me. There was a long silence. Finally, she broke it.
"Alright, look. Kendall told me that she saw you and Braydon at that pier in your guys' neighborhood. I know you didn't do anything, but just so you know, he's mine. And if you do anything with him, you're gonna be dead. Do I make myself clear?"
"Uh--uh--of course," I stuttered.
"Good," she said, flashing me a smile that I'd never seen on her before.
It scared me a little.
"Let's go," Emma said, and left the room without saying another word, leaving me standing there wondering what I was going to do.
