My Brother's Best Friend Is My Mate

Chapter 36: School

I follow Liam as he leads me to a dark hallway and try not to let my imagination clog my head with

scenarios that will definitely not happen. "I don't think you should go to school tomorrow." Liam says,

getting straight to the point. I scrunch up my face in confusion again for the third time tonight. Color me

confused. "What?" I ask. Liam clears his throat and shifts uncomfortably again. "I said, I don't think you

should go to school tomorrow, it's not-" Liam says again but unfortunately for him I interrupt before he

can finish. "I heard what you said when you said it the first time." I shake my head. "I meant, why

shouldn't I go to school?" I ask. Even though I'm not exactly thrilled about going to school, it's extremely

important that I'm punctual. I'm in my senior year and I don't want to mess up any of the plans I have

for this year and in the future. " Emerald." Liam says my name again and a shiver works its way down

my spine. "I want you to be safe, and sending you to school tomorrow when there are people after you

is not safe at all." He finishes. I narrow my eyes at Liam. I get that he wants me to be safe but I don't

like the idea that he thinks I'll do whatever he says, whenever he says. "Do I have a say in this?" I ask

Liam. I don't understand why Liam won't allow me to go to school; I'm not going to just stop going to

school because some stupid people are after me. It is a public place so nothing entirely bad will

happen, right? Anyways, I'll need a scholarship to go to college because of the career path I'm

choosing and as we all know I'm not as rich as Liam. "Yes." Liam answers just as a idea pops up into

my head. "Fine. I'll ask Spencer to be my body guard. That way anyone after me will think twice before

doing anything stupid to hurt me." I explain to Liam just as Spencer appears on the scene. "Sarah told

me to give you two some space but I had to see what's up with you guys." Spencer says as she stands

next to me. I briefly explain to my best friend her position in my plan for school

tomorrow. Liam hasn't said anything yet about my plans but I can see the screws in his head turning.

"Then that's settled then. " Spencer says. She turns to me. " Emerald, Sarah wanted to speak with you

in the kitchen. I'll catch up with you, I just need to speak to Liam about something." Spencer finishes Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

and I nod and leave. In the kitchen, I don't find Sarah so I get a cup of water to drink and take a breath

of fresh air. The past few days have been so excessive, I haven't had a chance to sit and take a breath

without being interrupted with a new issue, it's getting tiring. "Hello." A familiar voice says and I soon

match it with Alex's face. I'm genuinely surprised to see him in here, it seems as if he actually lives here

which is weird because Spencer does not seem to like him at all. "Hey Alex." I wave at him as he takes

a seat beside me. I don't know why Spencer doesn't like him, he seems like a really friendly

person.
