“I have practice today, guys.” Damien said as he came and sat next to me at our table at the school cafeteria. “I am sorry. I can’t hang out with you all today.” He added. “That’s what you said yesterday, Damien.” Mason whined. “Why can’t you just tell your coach that you need a break?” Mason questioned. “A match is coming up and I have to prepare. I know that you all are annoyed but I can’t do anything. I am sorry, guys.” Damien said with an apologetic smile. “Fine! Don’t hang out with us. We will forget all about you and then we won’t be your friends.” Jason stated as he pouted. I giggled at his expression. “Guys! It’s okay. We all want him to win. And for that to happen, he needs to practice.” I told them. “Damien, don’t mind these idiots. You should focus on your training.” I told him as I placed a hand on his shoulder. He smiled at that. “Thanks, Ellie. I think that you are the only one who gets me.” Damien said. I flipped my hair at that with a smirk making him chuckle.
“Are you sure that you aren’t crazy?” I asked Gavin as I laughed. He was laughing with me. “I am not really sure about that. But I am not kidding. I really did like your drawings back then. I actually liked everything you did. I think it might have been that way because I had a crush on you. But in my defence, you were pretty amazing.” Gavin stated. I laughed at that. Gavin and I were having a good time at our date. He had taken me to a pizza place. He somehow already knew about my obsession with pizza. I was honestly enjoying our time. Gavin was a really sweet guy. And according to what he told me, he had had a crush on me since middle school. I was a bit of a crazy kid back then and I never really followed rules.Gavin was telling me about how he used to stick up for me when people made fun of my drawings when I wasn’t around. To be fair, all I used to draw was stick figures. Art was not something I have ever been good at. In fact, I hated art class. I was more of a musi
I entered the room to find it empty. I was about to reach into my back pocket for my phone but I suddenly felt a pair of strong arms grabbing me around my waist. I was pulled back into a muscular chest but before I could shout, a hand covered my mouth.“Shhh! Princess, it’s me!” I heard Xander’s voice whisper in my ear. I quickly pushed his hands away before turning around to find Xander grinning at me. I slapped his chest. “Do you know how scared I was? I was freaking out! Why did you do that?!” I scolded Xander as I glared at him. I kept my eyes locked with his as I took my phone out. “I was just trying to mess with you. I didn’t know that you would think that it was a real thief or something.” Xander relied innocently. I glared at him. “I wasn’t talking about that! You have done that numerous times. I was talking about you just disappearing and then not picking up your phone when I called. You scared me!” I said. “I was waiting for you to come back but then I guess
“Did you guys hear about it?” Mason questioned in excitement. I frowned at him. Jason was by his side but he didn’t look half as excited as Mason. Xander and Damien, who were standing with me, shook their head at Mason’s question. “Hear about what?” I asked. Jason looked down at the floor as Mason’s grin grew bigger. I was a little scared to hear what Mason had to say. There weren't a whole lot of things that the twins ever had different opinions about. “Mrs Reyes, the art teacher, she is leaving town for good!” Mason exclaimed before he started doing his victory dance. People in the hallway stared at Mason as if he was crazy. I passed them a glare and they soon looked away. Mason might look like a monkey when he did his victory dance but as his friend, I don’t want people staring at him or making fun of him. That’s our job. “But why is Jason so gloomy about it? I thought that you both hated her.” Damien asked as he looked at Jason. It was true. The twins hated the ar
Mrs Reyes saw the twins laughing at her.“Mason! Jason! Detention!” Mrs Reyes yelled at the top of her lungs. I laughed as I ran away with Damien and Xander. We ran down the hallway like maniacs as we laughed at what we just witnessed. I guessed the twins wanted to get a last detention from Mrs Reyes before she left the town but that didn’t mean that I wanted to be stuck in detention again. We suddenly heard Mrs Krampe, the chemistry teacher’s voice yelling at us from behind us. “Stop! Why are you all running away like that? Turn around!” She called out. We froze in our place, still not facing her. “Turn around!” She said as her voice neared. Crap!If she caught us, she will soon realise that we witnessed the prank on Mrs Reyes. That will surely get us into trouble. Our friendship with the twins wasn’t really a secret so it won’t take them long to come to the conclusion that we helped the twins. I glanced at Damien and Xander with a panicked look on my face. Mrs Kra
“How did you two get out?” Damien asked me, making my cheeks warm up at the memory. “That is not important. The important thing is that we got out. So, what are they going to do?” I said, changing the topic. I was in the car with Xander, heading home after our escape. Damien had called me to inform me that he wasn’t able to get out. He was just about to get out of the school when Mrs Krampe caught him. Poor fellow…“They were going to take the three of us to the principal’s office but then Mrs Reyes stepped in and said that she doesn’t want that. Apparently, she was a little amused that the twins tried something to make her remember them forever.” Damien told us. “So, it’s just detention?” Xander asked. The phone was on speaker so that Xander could talk too while he drove us home. “Detention for a week for the twins and just today for me since I warned Mrs Reyes about the prank. My only crime according to them is running in the hallways.” Damien answered. “Well, that
“Ellie, why do I love you?” Xander questioned as he started at the ceiling of my room while lying on my bed. I picked up my phone and lied down next to him on my bed. “Because I am awesome.” I shrugged. He turned his face and looked at me while I stared at my phone’s screen. I haven’t gotten any texts from Gavin and I didn’t even see him much in school after our date. It was like he was avoiding me. “Stop staring like a creep, Xan!” I snapped at him without turning to him as he continued to stare at me silently. “No, I don’t love you because you are awesome. That is Mason’s reason for loving you. What is my reason?” Xander replied. I turned my head to look at him. He was frowning at me. “Is it because I am pretty?” I guessed as I smirked at him. He scowled at that and shook his head. “That’s Damien’s reason.” he grumbled. I laughed as he pouted and glared at the ceiling in anger. Xander was drunk. And he was a cute drunk. It was Friday night, so the boys and I had gon
“Oh my god! I am dying! Ellie, save me!” Xander exclaimed as he walked into the kitchen where I was just putting the waffles on the plates. He looked really tired as he held his head in his hands as if it was just about to explode. This is usually what happens every time Xander wakes up after drinking more than he should. “No need to yell, drama queen. The pills are where they are supposed to be. Just take those and I have made waffles for breakfast. Freshen up fast or else I’ll eat them all.” I told him as I took the plates and placed them on the table. Xander took the pills and went to the washroom to freshen up when I heard the doorbell. I ran to the door to find the guys and Kara standing on the other side with huge grins on their faces. I welcomed them all inside. Mason sniffed the air like a dog before his eyes grew wide.“Did you make waffles for breakfast?” Mason yelled in excitement. I chuckled at him before nodding my head. “Ellie, I love you!” Mason said as he w
