Emmet went to the room the girl had been left in and opened the door.

 

  “Go get in the car.”  She complied wordlessly, which was nice. He leaned

into the vacated room and called Neric.

    “No luck,” he told him.

    “Nothing?” Neric sounded sulky, like a fat-cheeked child deprived of his

gumdrop. Emmet rapped his foot brutally against the carpeting. The

b*****d.

    “Nothing.”

    “Did you even try to convince him?”

    “He couldn't be convinced.”

    They watched each other for a moment.

    “The girl was a mistake,” Emmet said.

    “She seemed unremarkable. Kinda cute.”

    “People stared.”

    Neric shook his head.

    “Not that cute.”

    “She wasn't cute, they didn't stare because she was cute. I think it was

her eyes.”

    “She had nice eyes?”

    “She has idealistic eyes.”

    Neric rolled his eyes.

    “Whatever. B*****s are b*****s. You think too much.”

    Emmet shrugged.

    “She was a mistake,” he repeated.

    “I expect you to convince him,” Neric warned before hanging up.

    Emmet stood for a split second, headed back through the music and

toxic laughter, and climbed into the car. The girl stared at him as he sent it

spinning along the tube. He ignored her, relaxing into the hum of the

vehicle.

    “You want to be dropped off anywhere in particular?” he asked finally.

She shook her head. He settled in the leather seat again.

    “Who are you?” she asked.

I'm not sure why your chapters are short, regardless, everything is beautifully written. I think you should publish it when you're done writing - this is quality.

Thank you so much for your reviews :) In the final version there will be no chapters-- It's broken up now so it's easier to read online. And I think I will be publishing; my dad is almost done with the book he's writing, and he wants me to finish so we can publish together. I'm a slow writer but I'm doing my best to hurry :P
