The rest of the day passed in a blue for Elena, trying to complete the rest of the car and survive to the end, and not trying to think much into Sarah’s words. A part of her didn’t want her to do it, skeptical and also scared at the same time. What if Matthew says yes to her and they start dating?She’ll have to stick and this time not disturb them for whatsoever reason. She didn’t think she wanted to do that yet. “Do you want Silver to give you a ride? I'm having my practice today and I can’t. I’m so sorry.” Craig said as she got out of the class, picking her cheeks in a hurry before running off.“Let’s go, I’ll give you a ride.” She heard Matthew say, looking at her back as her face broke into a tired smile. Matthew hung his arm around her shoulder as they walked together towards the parking lot.“So I heard, you and Sarah are friends again and discussing other things, clearing the air.” He started,“Yeah.Don’t you want us to be friends?”“Nope.” Matthew hurriedly replied, “I’m ju
“Elena, can I have a word with you?” She heard her mum call out as she walked into the kitchen the same eveningsHow she got into the house was a haze but she was sure it couldn’t be more than Matthew’s work. “I’m coming Ma.” She replied, groaning out in pain and her eyes acting like it didn’t want to open.“Ma, I’m so tired. My head is aching and my whole body hurts.” She added, opening some of the pots as she tried to find something to eat.“I bought pizza. It’s here. I’ll try to cook something after we talk.“Let’s do it together. You cook and we talk, I’ll stay with you for a little while." Elena replied as she walked towards the living room.Clara was there, seated on the couch and her eyes focused on the television. One of the pizza slices was in her hand, already munched to half.“I’m all ears.” Elena plopped down to the sofa after carrying a whole box of the pizza. Clara turned to face her after a while, turning off the television and looking at her daughter’s face.“How is
Everything was going well for Elena, apart from the occasional bothering of Sarah who was too immersed in her preparation. And not to say, being shiny and all chatty these days.Everyone on the table knew something was up with her, and she was keeping a massive secret, what it could be was something they’ve all been guessing about.“Sarah, won’t you let us know what it is? Stop keeping things from us and let us know. We can help you.” One of Matthew’s friends said as they sat down to eat.“It’s a surprise,” Sarah started, making Elena roll her eyes as she dropped her tray.If it was a surprise, why was she acting all in it? She was telling each of them she had something going on, to the extent that she had brought her name into it.“Elena, how about you tell me? I’ve fill your space in for whatever role and…“I
“Are you coming to my place this Saturday? We have to go to the market to get most of the important things.” Sarah said as they both got out of the car the next day.“I’ll let you know. I don’t think I have much energy but I’ll still let you know about it.” Elena retorted as she walked away.Sarah eyed her and waited for Matthew to get out, walking to his side before they both proceeded towards the locker room.“Don’t tell me it’s because of the concert that she’s still like that. I don’t want to hear that,” Sarah said.“And you too have gotten very close. Meeting each other now? Going to the market? What exactly are you planning to do?” Matthew asked, taking a glance at Sarah who was already blushing furiously.“You don’t need to know, it’s nothing serious. You’ll know when the day come
Elena was with Gaby, talking about some random things as they got their food when a new voice joined them.“Seems the gang's back together,'' Freya said, collecting her tray as they all walked away from the line.“Freya,” Elena called her name with a small mocking smile.“I don’t think I’ve introduced you to Gaby. Gaby, here is Freya, Jeremy’s girlfriend, and Freya…” she turned to her and introduced.“She forgot to add, she was all over Jeremy before I got to this school.”“And I’m over him now. Have you seen my boyfriend? He’s way hotter than your piece of garbage. So just let it go okay?” Elena replied, dragging Gaby’s hand as they walked away.“So I need to see who Jeremy is before concluding that Craig is hotter than him.”“Trust me, I must be
Elena scoffed as she eyed Craig, “I didn’t see you like this.” She added before turning away from him.Craig facepalmed himself, groaning mentally as he leaned on the wall. He was growing tired as each day passed, her acting weird, deciding to be friendly with him for a day and running off to Matthew another day.“Elena,” he called out, rushing to meet up with her.Elena didn’t bother to answer him, packing her books inside her locker before closing it and walking away.“At least let me take you home,”“Don’t worry. I’ll go with Matthew.”Craig stopped in his tracks and scoffed, “and here we go again. Matthew! Matthew! Matthew!” He called out, gaining some looks from the other students that were passing.Elena halted in her steps before turning back to loo
Craig dropped Elena at home out of annoyance, not even bothering to look back as she got down of the car. With loud music blaring from the car and him bobbing his head back and forth to it, by the time he got home, part of him being annoyed was now out of his body and he was feeling well. He had just entered when Gaby appeared from the stairs. “Someones asking for you.” She said and eyed him. “I’ve asked her to go into your room,” she added as he started moving towards the living room. He walked up to her, eyeing her before squinting his eyes, “are you mad at me?” He asked. “What’s a girl doing in our house that’s not Elena, or our school mate, or your friend and even dressed like that? Are you planning on cheating?” She turned to face him. “First of all, her name is Malinda.” Craig started. “And another thing, I’m not that blind to see how Matthew looks
“Elena, what are you doing here?” Gaby asked as they let er in, craig closing the door after her.“You called me, remember? And you were sounding so off, like something was going on with you. To be honest, I was not doing anything so I decided to check up on you first.” She retorted, walking towards the living room.Craig had no idea why he was following them but he took his seat with them in the sitting room, his eyes focused on Elena who ignored him.“So what’s wrong? Why were you sounding like someone was about to kill you?”Gaby exchanged eye contact with Craig, looking back at Elena who already noticed them.“Did you call me because of him?” Elena asked, scrunching her brows up.“Nope. why did you say that?”“So why did you call me? No reason at all?”“Are you sayin
