“I don’t want to go back to the way we were before, Ellie.” Xander told me, making me frown. What the hell is he talking about?“What do you mean by that, Xan? Don’t you want to be my friend anymore?” I asked him. Xander smiled as he shook his head. “No, Ellie. Now that I know how amazing it is to be your boyfriend, I don’t think that I can be just friends with you. You’re just too special and I can’t let you go.” Xander told me in a sincere voice. I stopped breathing and my eyes turned wide. I didn’t know what to say now. “H-how? W-Why?” I stuttered, not knowing what I wanted to ask or say. Xander chuckled as he looked at my flustered state. “Ellie, I am not going to lie to you anymore. I am not going to hide anything either. I’ll tell you the truth. I did ask you out because I was afraid of losing you to Ace. But I realised that I really do love you. And I have loved you for as long as I could remember.” Xander told me. I knew that if he continued talking, I was
“Did he really bake all those cupcakes for you?” Kara asked with a giggle. I nodded my head with a smile. “That is why I always told you to date him, honey.” My mother commented. I rolled my eyes at her. “When you found out about what happened, you were about to go over to his house and kill him! You didn’t even let him come inside the house when he came to apologize to me!” I reminded my mother. After my conversation with Xander, he did what he said he would do. He crossed every limit when it came to seeking forgiveness. He learnt how to bake cakes and cupcakes and I got a batch of the freshly baked goods almost daily. He even apologized to my parents.Xander was always around in school but he still kept his distance. He apologized to Damien and Liam too for breaking their trust.After a couple weeks of him always smiling at me through the hallways and doing his best, I decided that he and I have suffered enough by staying away. I forgave him. Completely.“That was be
“Please?” He begged me with a pout on his handsome face as he played with a strand of my chestnut-brown hair. He was looking adorable but I couldn’t just agree with his plans. Not again.“Nope!” I said popping the ‘p’ as I rolled my green eyes and focused back on the book in front of me. “But I really love her! Ever since I was little, I've had a crush on her! E, I think she’s the one! I have known this since I was just four!” He exasperated. I turned to him with a frown on my face.He really is an idiot!“She just moved here, you dumbo! She had never even set foot in this town up until a week or two ago! And you say that about all the girls! I'm starting to think that you have been a player since the day you were born! I just failed to notice it up until a few years back.” I told him as I rolled my eyes at the dumb headed boy sitting right next to me in the school library. I passed an apologetic smile to the librarian who was now glaring at us. It was a free period for
“I am really sorry, Principal Hughes!” I said in a sincere voice. I turned to the dark haired, brown eyed super tall guy who was standing next to me with an expressionless face. “Apologize, you big oaf!” I whispered to him but he just looked at me with a blank expression. I don’t know why I even try to save him...“Eleanor, I don’t think that he feels sorry for his mistakes. He isn’t even apologizing. I have to teach him a lesson. For how long will you and Liam be there to save him?” The principal asked me with a soft voice as he glared at Damien. I smiled at the principal before turning to Damien. I glared at him. Liam's dad and my dad were Principal Hughes’ friends, so he always treated us nicely. Principal Hughes was in his mid forties like my father and was a kind man. He only shouted in matters that involved Damien creating trouble. I met Damien when I was eight. I had had a fight with Xander and wanted to just punch someone. I knew that Damien was someone who was a
“Where is our Mr Awesome?” Kara, Liam’s girlfriend, asked me when I settled down in my seat at our table in the cafeteria. I looked at her with a huge smile. “With his new girlfriend.” I told her. We had a test today as it was Monday. So, we stayed at home on Saturday instead of going out somewhere like usual and since we were just studying, I called Leah, my English project partner, the girl Xander was currently crushing on, and invited her to my house where me and Xander were studying. I introduced Leah to Xander and by Sunday, they officially became a couple. Like he promised, Xander treated me with Pizza on both Saturday and Sunday. I helped him study for the test we had in the second class of the day and it went well too. At least for me. Xander and I didn’t talk much since it was his first day at school with his new girlfriend so I don’t know how he did on the test. But I was happy for him anyway. “Lets just hope that this one won’t try anything on you when Xander b
“Psssssttttt!”Don’t turn, E!“Ellie!” I pretended like I didn’t hear anything.“E!” I gritted my teeth and resisted the urge to just look back and yell at the top of my lungs.“Ellie-bear!” Don’t look back! You are full of peace, E!“Eleanor!” P-E-A-C-E. That’s my mantra.“Ellie-poo!” These idiots can never break you, Ellie!“Ellieeeeee!”Breathe in, Breathe out...“Ellie-belly!” That’s it!“What the fudge-berries is wrong with you two?!” I yell as I turn around in my seat to glare at the two identical dumbos.I was peacefully doodling in my notebook in the chemistry class when Mason and Jason told the grumpy, old teacher, Mrs Sandy Krampe that I was disturbing them. They were already disturbing the class so they got detention but when the grumpy teacher saw that I wasn’t focusing, she gave me detention too. Now, if it were any other teacher, I could have gotten out of trouble easily. But the old Mrs Sandy who pretends to be a little too young for her age
“Ethan's my new best friend.” I said, cheerfully. My voice was loud enough to get Ethan's attention. He looked at me in shock as I smiled at him. “Right, Ethan?” I asked him sweetly. Ethan stared at me with his eyes wide and his mouth hanging open. I wanted to laugh at his expression but when I saw the furious look on Xander’s face, I covered my expressions with a bright smile. I walked to Ethan and sat on the table in front of his chair. He was still staring at me as if I was an alien. “Your best friend?” Ethan finally spoke up, his voice coming out squeaky. I giggled at that, making Xander practically growl. “Yes, Ethan. My best friend. You are my best friend.” I told him. He chuckled deeply after a few seconds making me frown at him. “I’d rather be your best boyfriend.” He told me, making me narrow my eyes at him. But before I can say anything, Xander grabbed my wrist and pulled me up from the table and towards himself. “I am your best friend. And you will never ta
“Why is Ethan still looking at you? I thought you told him that you don’t want to go out with him.” Mason frowned as he stood beside me as I took out a few books and kept the others inside my locker. Yesterday, after detention, me and Xander went to eat pizza and then went home. When we all decided to hang out, Damien was still at practice, Liam and Kara were hanging out at Kara’s place so the twins, me and Xander just crashed at the couch at my house and watched a bunch of random shows while talking about anything and everything. A typical weekday thing for us.“Did he forget whatever happened yesterday at detention?” Jason questioned as he came to stand on my other side. I turned around to find Ethan staring intensely at me. I shrugged it off as I closed my locker. Damien came to stand in front of me. “Damien, what are you doing? I have to get to class.” I said when I found myself surrounded by the boys and the lockers with no way out. “Let Ethan leave. His creepy star
