Just as excited as you

The thought of getting everyone together brought a smile as huge as your own onto Emma’s face and if you weren’t in a completely full classroom at the moment, you were sure she would have danced around in excitement and made you join in with her.

You managed to calm her down to an acceptable level but you weren’t doing the best at keeping it together yourself, taking a moment to be the more responsible one and making sure either you weren’t causing a disturbance.

Luckily it was another class with a teacher that handed out worksheets and the noise level had started to rise as students ignored the work. You would still need to stay under a certain volume but your conversation could be hidden amongst the other voices if you kept it vague, not saying any names in particular and staying at a noise level just above a whisper.

“Okay so with everyone there, I have a few ideas. Well a lot of ideas but I don’t want to get carried away” you told Emma, getting an excitable nod in return.

“Me too! This is a really good chance to set everything straight. I don’t think we can go too far if it’s… someone’s first time meeting everyone but I'm sure we can do something” Emma replied, staring off as she tried to think of something that could be done.

Your own ideas had been to introduce everyone and set yourself up to maybe make the house rules affect all of them while they were there. It might come as a shock to Rebecca but it would keep the attention mainly on you and not any one subject. After that, you wanted them to talk more casually and that wasn’t going to happen if your speech ended up being too formal.

Finding a way to split them into twos or threes could be good but you would need someone to lead the conversation in a direction you wanted, Emma being in one group but then the other would need someone to fill that role.

“We could stage something maybe? Like a power cut or something? Get everyone together to work on fixing it but also we’ll get to have some fun in the dark?” Emma suggested after hearing your idea to split everyone up.

“Maybe but I have no idea how to mess with the fuse box and one of us would have to mysteriously leave when the power turns off. I can see that working the second or third time we get together though.” you replied, liking the suggestion but the flaws seemed too noticeable for now.

The idea of the lights going off sprung the idea of the group playing out a **** mystery you had planned in your mind which nearly made you laugh out loud but while the idea was fun, you would need more time to plan that than just a couple of days. Setting up a whole conspiracy would take a lot of work that you could totally make worth your while if you planned it out right but sadly now wasn’t the time to attempt that.

Plus with exams next week you were sure both Mom and Rebecca would see your planning as a bad use of your time. You liked the idea enough that you might actually use it so you secretly hid that away in your mind and from Emma in case you ever decided to do it at a later date, hoping that she could enjoy the fun alongside everyone else without spoilers.

“How about a party game? Something like Truth or Dare?” Emma suggested again, both of you looking at each other and knowing she had found exactly what you were looking for as soon as the words left her mouth.

“That’s perfect! We might need to set the mood but I can totally see that working” you replied enthusiastically.

Truth or dare was the perfect game for what you had in mind and although you were slightly annoyed at yourself for not thinking of it yourself. The game could start out innocent enough if everyone kept the questions and dares lighthearted but with some **** and a few KDK powers, you were sure you could push the game in a direction that suited your needs.

You wanted to celebrate properly but again, class was still ongoing and you didn’t think you could get away with kissing Emma right in front of everyone without some repercussion from the teacher. Instead, you rested your hand on her leg below the desk and gave it a light squeeze, your smile showing how happy you were with her suggestion.

Her blush in return made you back off a little with your enthusiasm and you settled with just holding her hand as you actually started working on the sheets in front of you. You and Emma both benefitted from the intelligence upgrade so the work got finished in record time, leaving you with plenty of time to spare in the later half of the lesson.

You had promised Sarah you would help her but your ‘study’ session would probably not include much studying if you had to take a guess, instead deciding to help her out as much as you could when you saw her next period. To make it fair, you decided to do the same with Emma, fishing out the rest of your books from your back and going over the notes you had created to help with her own revision, finding that Emma had already done the same for you to take a look in return.

“I mean I do seem to have a lot more free time than you. I can’t quite put my finger on why that could possibly be the case” Emma teased as she handed over her work, the comment having not even a single trace of jealousy in it and re-affirming your decision to have her get involved with the KDK from almost day 1.

Emma’s notes were indeed a lot more detailed than your own and a lot more readable compared to the hasty scribbles that you had thrown onto your pages.

“Keep them for Sarah and I can get them back later” Emma said before you could ask, collecting them into a pile when you had finished going through them.

The rest of the lesson felt a bit hectic as you went back and forth between actual learning and then talking with Emma when either of you had an idea that you couldn’t keep to yourself, staying joined at the hip for the entirety of the hour. The bell was what finally **** you apart but you only had one more class before you would be seeing her again and you would have Sarah to hopefully keep you company.

Everyone was filing out of the room and it felt like you could get away with a little extra affection without anyone being none the wiser, giving her as quick of a kiss as you thought you could get away with before you both had to rush off to your own separate classes, barely making it in time and luckily finding that Sarah had left you a seat open next to her at the back, no Jess in sight for this lesson.

“What are you smiling about?” Sarah asked as soon as you sat down.
