Chapter 43: School Trip

Chapter 43: School Trip

I was still a blushing mess as I searched for an empty seat to settle on, as I did I spotted Owen, Miles beside him, and Henry was behind pressing his phone but I didn’t see Sarah.

Owen shared a look with me and I mouthed ’You’re in big trouble’ he mouthed back ’I’m sorry’ but I just rolled my eyes sliding into my seat, settling my bag on my lap, and folding my arms, I was certain I look like a child who didn’t wanna go on a family vacation.

My head has been in a mix ever since the little discovery I did, I was both confused, startled, and maybe angry, what was I even angry about, this was becoming extremely frustrating and the more I think about it the more I feel like I’m going crazy and I felt antsy or maybe it was because of Dace’s stare on me, I could feel it without even looking.

"Emilia’s a telepath isn’t she?" I snapped at him before I could stop myself and Dace gave me a look of both surprise and confusion, so I was right?"

"Alright since we have all settled in I would like to give a speech" Coach Noah’s voice came through and next were groans from the others.

"Come on Coach, you’re the one who said we should get going," some guy said.

"And that doesn’t stop me from giving my speech, order, that’s an order!" he barked and the bus circled in a groan again.

"How did you find that out," Dace said to me in a low tone, he narrowed his eyes on me and I quickly looked away.

"A simple trip to get a glimpse of nature, yeh? But that doesn’t mean there won’t be coordination as you all know I’m sort of responsible for you little brats so be grateful"

"Really Noah?" Mrs. Kate said at the front and he shrugged like he didn’t just call us brats.

"I made my research" I finally spoke facing Dace but I look away quickly I was somewhat scared of the look he was giving me like I just did something really bad, maybe I have.

"Alright thank you, Coach Noah, can we move on now?" she said to him, Mrs. Kate was the type to get irritated easily, she probably was fed up.

"Yes we can and you should all know anymore who misses this trip is getting a D in my course"

Poor Sarah.

"You have been busy" he spoke and I faced him.

"I’m right then, Emilia’s a telepath isn’t she?"

He looked away running his fingers through that perfect hair of his that seemed to bounce whenever he did that.

The bus started moving and Dace was yet to say anything, which only made it more true. What the hell?! Telepaths are real?! What else could she do? Move a chair with her mind? I rubbed my head, this was something.

"You’re never gonna let this go are you?"

I faced him but his eyes were up ahead, from his angle his long eyelashes were well defined, he was so beautiful and he was my BOYFRIEND! Concentrate Emma!

"Y-Yes"

His eyes snapped back to me pinning me down, he leaned and my breath caught, please let no one be watching because he was insanely close.

"Stop digging Emma..." he said as his jaw tightened. I didn’t know if he was angry but it seemed like he was trying to restrain himself. "You might not like what you find out"

I gulped. "I-I know" I knew that at the back of my head but I couldn’t help it. "I want to know more about you Dace, don’t I have to?"

His eyes softened and he blinked pausing for a bit, he leaned away leaning back on his seat and sighed deeply while closing his eyes, I must have hit him hard with that one but that is merely the truth, I mean we were sorta dating now, shouldn’t I know more about him?

"What have you learned?" he asked with eyes still closed.

"Emilia’s a telepath, the Law of coexistence was created by my family and the dreamcatcher isn’t a dreamcatcher but a protective talisman to keep unwanted things away..." I gulped. "Y-You"

"And?"

"You might not be human," I said under my breath but with his eyes open I knew he heard me. "Crazy right?" I said with a shrug. "Sounds crazy I know, maybe I shouldn’t deep further because it is"

I heard him scoff in amusement as he shook his head. "I mean it doesn’t make sense right?" I intoned and his eyes met mine. "...T-That you’re not human" I added in a whisper.

He suddenly flicked my glasses with his finger and I closed my eyes.

"You better decide what you’re gonna believe in, Freckles".

"Alright here we are, go out there, take some pictures, explore nature like you’re terrorists from another country," Coach Noah said to everyone. "Yes, geeky-looking kid" he answered a kid who raised his hand.

"Solo or..."

"Pff, with partners, of course, the more the merry and make sure we’re all back to the bus at exactly 7, yes 7pam"

"You mean 4 pm" Mrs. Kate intoned.

"Yes that was what I wanted to say"

She rolled her eyes, I can’t help but thank the fact that she was here, us alone with Coach Noah would have been a disaster.

My phone vibrates and I slid it out of my pocket seeing a message from Owen.

OWEN: let’s be partners

ME: Dace is already my partner

I gave him a look and I saw him sighing at my reply.

"What did she say?" Miles asked and I was able to hear him, I made sure I concentrated so I could.

"She said she’s with Dace"

"We can’t have that man, we have to look after her just like you promised her aunt, alone out there with HIM isn’t such a good idea?"

"What am I supposed to do? She won’t listen to me after what I pulled off yesterday"

"What did you do?"

"Emma" I snapped my eyes to Dace.

"Let’s go," he said with a nudge of his head.

"Okay," I murmured, sharing a look at Miles and Owen once again before moving out.
