The next day, Elena woke up early to her mother's yelling. She had left Matthew’s house late due to the discussions between him and Sarah. She didn't even get the hang of their conversation. She just saw they were so immersed when she wanted to get home. It even took time before she could dissect what they were talking about, only to find that it was some book game about their favorite authors.On the way home, Sarah said that Matthew had asked her if she wanted to hang out, and they might be hanging out together during lunchtime at school. Elena was more than pleased, and she had told Sarah to get to her house early tomorrow so they could both get to school together. But this morning, it was a different case entirely because her mummy was not having the hang of it.“Tell me, Elena, is it fun to embarrass your teacher or disrespect them? When did you even turn this way? Why would you just want to be a bully and make them report you everytime?” she yelled from downstairs.Elena grumbled
Elena was very angry. Storming out of the school cafeteria with a flared nose, she didn’t even bother to ask the field they were on, she knew better where Matthew would take her too. The same field the both of them used when they wanted to be devoid of all the humans in this school.She was just angry when she had told him to share every down thing between them to Sarah and now he was taking it too serious. When she had opted for them to become friends, she didn’t think it would intercept her own friendship with him. As she got closer to the field, she could see their heads already, they were both checking something out. It made her more angry, and she walked towards them with her nose brimming and flaring in fire.“Hi Elena,” Sarah was the first to see her and she moved away from Matthew immediately.Elena did not pay her any attention, staring directly at Matthew’s face.“You didn’t call me for lunch, and Silver is busy with her project. Who am I to sit down with?” She said, looking
The rest of the day went in a blur for Elena. She was annoyed to her bones and didn’t even focus on the rest of the class. She was the first to pick up her bag by the time they rang the bell, walking towards Matthew’s car and standing by the passenger seat. It made her look like she was picking up a fuss but she didn’t care. She was still the one in charge of this and the middleman for them becoming friends. When she is ready to let go of Matthew, she’ll leave him freely.After a while, she saw Matthew approaching from afar with some of his other friends but Sarah wasn’t part.“Hey..” he called out as he pressed the button of his car, unlocking it.Elena didn’t even bother to answer him, pulling the car handle and entering in front of him. She slammed the door close in his face, immediately reaching out for her phone to connect the music to the car.“What’s wrong with you?” Matthew asked as he entered.“Nothing.” She replied, scrolling through her phone.She had a playlist that Matthe
“You cook so well,” Mr. Oscar said with a mouth full of food.“Thanks,” Elena’s mother, Clara, replied with a smile.Elena felt disgusted at their action, making her scrunch her face as she faced her food back, punching the fork inside. They arrived early, helped set the table, and also set the desserts they brought. He had brought his five-year-old son, one who talked more than a five-year-old should do. He had cute, curly hair, brown eyes, and puffy cheeks, but he was Mr. Oscar’s son, and she wasn’t sharing her mother with him anytime from now.“Are you going to get married to my father?” He said all of a sudden.The table fell into a sudden silence, and they all raised their heads to look at him. He had said something that all made them freeze when they just arrived, and this was the second time he was dropping another,“You look just like my mother. You have the same hair,” that was the first thing that came out of his mouth.Mr. Oscar was the first to drop his spoon, shifting his
“Ahhh.” Elena woke up the next day with a banging headache. She fluttered her brows and sat up immediately, a low whine coming out of her mouth as she removed the blanket from her body.“Ahhh,” she groaned as she managed to get to the bathroom. Splashing water on her frowned face, she saw her surroundings and noticed she was in her bathroom. The lines on her forehead deepened as she tried to recollect yesterday's incident.“Elena, are you awake!” She heard her mum yell out as it further increased the pain in her head.Clenching her jaw and walking out of the bathroom, the door opened, and the sight of Clara standing in the doorway was the first she saw.“Hi baby, how are you doing?” Her mother said, a glass of water in her hand with a small plate.Elena nodded at her, taking her seat back by the edge of the bed as her mother walked to her.“Thanks,” Elena muttered as she collected the glass of water and the small plate.She took the pills and downed them immediately, squeezing her fac
The whole week turned out badly for Matthew. He had not thought his week could ever go like this, starting from Elena forcing him to a party, Jeremy rejecting her, and him finding her on his bed again. Not in his wildest thought did he think he could have sex with Elena, not to talk of once, twice.“Fuck!” He cursed out, slamming his fist on the wall.He should have controlled himself. He knew how much he craved her. He wanted to be with her and bury himself in her now and then. But they were not together, and he even doubted if Elena saw him that way. She was pretty last night, and the images of her naked on the bed with the other guy pushed him. He remembered the sex night, how she had held him tight and asked him to go in deeper.He wanted all of that back, and when she kept persisting in the car. He packed at a corner and told her she would regret it before fucking her mindlessly. But he was unsure if she was regretting it because he was dreading what would happen next.“Matthew,
The weekend passed in a blur, and Elena could not decipher what she had used it to do. Apart from doing her assignment and helping out her mum, visiting Silver and asking her not to talk to Matthew for a while.“Why?” Silver had asked.“Nothing. He wants to focus on Sarah right now, and it won’t be right for us to keep on interrupting their time and their love life. It’s his first. Let’s give him the space.” She replied.Monday was here now, with no one to come to pick her up. She had to wait for her mother because she didn’t want to take the bus.“Mom, aren’t you done yet?” She yelled out for the umpteenth time.Frustration and exhaustion laced her face. Any moment from now on, she would be late and might be punished. The school teachers were having problems with her already, and getting to school late would be more punishment.“I’m very sorry. Let’s go..” her mum walked down, sweat lacing her forehead as she rushed down the stairs.Rolling her eyes and approaching her to get the ba
“Matthew,” Sarah called out suddenly, interrupting Matthew’s view as his eyes turned to her.Restraining from saying anything that’ll make her angry, he curled his lips up and stood up to hug her, shocking the life out of Sarah.“How are you? I’ve been waiting.”He said, adjusting a chair for her.Sarah took her seat, still in utmost shock, while Matthew glanced back at where Elena was seated, a frown etching his face as he saw only Jeremy sitting on the chair. He glanced at the exit to see Elena walking off, the expression on her face not visible to him, but he knew it was not good.Some parts of him wanted to know what they discussed, while other parts didn’t want to know.“I was caught up in something. I’m sorry.”Sarah replied, pulling her tray closer to herself and throwing Matthew a small smile.Matthew looked at her and smiled, too, continuing with his lunch with only a thought on his mind, Elena. She didn’t even finish what she got or didn’t even take more than a bite from it.
