A Week In the Life

Matchmaker

Lexi's POV

Matchmaking time!

I was so glad on Tuesday. Why?

1) The love triangle was over. (Phew)

2) The Matchmaking was going to make Emma feel better

3) I could introduce Emma to my friend Amethyst Brite.

4) We were going to match make!

5) Did I mention? Matchmaking!


We were meeting at my house, and I anxiously waited for them after school.

Ding!

The doorbell ran, and I rushed to the door, revealing Amethyst.

Amethyst had really long dark brown hair and long light blue eyes with odd flecks of silver. She was my friend from school, though for some reason never met Emma.

"Hey!" Amethyst waved at me and walked inside. "Remember that creepy Ed dude that likes me, from tennis?"

Amethyst and I both go to tennis and are on the same team, and went in the evening..

"Bleh." I said. Ed was an annoying guy in our team that followed Amethyst around like a lost (and ugly) puppy (Ok that was insulting to puppies...). He had way-too-long brown hair that he constantly flipped, and an ego so large it didn't fit his head. "What about him?"

Amethyst smiled mischievously. "I know what Ed should stand for."

Me raised an eyebrow, getting ready to laugh. "And that is...?

"Evil dude!"

And laugh we did, until we were in hysterics and our stomachs hurt. We finally regained composure when the doorbell rang once more.

"It's Emma, my friend I was talking about." I told Amethyst.   

I unlocked the door. "Hi Emma!"

"Hey!"

I fake coughed and turned to Amethyst. Donning an overly-formal voice, I said, "Emma-Amethyst. Amethyst-Emma."

We all burst into (more) laughter at my weird joke.

"To my bedroom!" I announced, again with the low voice.

My bedroom was painted a dark maroon, with a black and white bed and pillows with different places in the world. I also had a medium sized desk piled with things and a laptop. I loved my room, actually.

I flopped onto my bed with as Amethyst took the bungee chair facing the bed. Emma sat on my swivel-y chair behind my desk.

"Down to business." said Emma, clasping her hands. "How do we get Libby and Ian together?"

I was proud to see there was only a tiny bit of pain in her eyes as she said that.

"We need them to get Gryfinndor." announced Amethyst

I smiled. "Or Dauntless."

"Hmm..." we all sat and thought for a while.

Emma's eyes flashed with excitement. "Light bulb!"

"What?!" asked Amethyst.

"Spill!" I cried.

Emma smiled. "We get someone...like Aaron or Cliff to convince Ian to go somewhere, like the cafeteria. Then we get someone who's friends with Libby...like Avery to get Libby to the same place!"

"Brilliant!" I cried. "And...that will get Aaron and Avery together too!"

"Two birds with one stone." grinned Amethyst (she knew Avery too...for some reason not Emma until today).

Mission Matchmaker Idea: accomplished.
