BUSTED

Emma blinked her eyes twice, as she heard Maya's call. She had been too focused on the Blondie that had attacked her in the fill up eatery, that she had almost missed out on her friend's call.

"Yeah." She finally replied, her eyes still watching the Blondie as she spoke in little tones with the professor. Emma wished there was a way she could listen into their conversation.

"Who is she?" Maya asked, casting furtive glances at her and the Blondie intermittently.

"She is Claire. I think your cousin would give you a better run down on her, since they both seem close." She said, bitting her lips in anger as she remembered the incident that had happened on her first day in school, when Derek had called her a dummy when he had thought that she wasn't around.

Thinking of it now, she wondered how and why she had still gone ahead to date him after that. Did she hit her head somewhere? She thought, rubbing her head weakly with her thumb.
