He knows her house and he was sure that her mom was going to let him in, what he wasn't sure of, however, was Elena's reaction if he shows up at her doorstep to pick her up.Knowing Elena and her unpredictable mood, she might get mad at him for not calling her before coming to pick her up and might refuse to get in the car with him, resulting in a waste of his own strength and gas.He sighed loudly again and leaned his hand against his chin. What should he do? Should he call her again? If he calls her again and she refuses to pick up his call he would feel so humiliated.But if he doesn't call her and goes up to school without picking her up and he ends up seeing her in school, he might feel guilty.Hold on. What's there to feel guilty about? She was the one at fault. He has been calling her since and she refused to pick up so if there was anyone who was supposed to feel guilty, it was her not him.He stood up immediately. Yes, he had no need to feel guilty about it. Elena was hiding
"What's this about, Sarah? It had better be something worth it because I don't get why you would ask Gaby to leave," Craig said, folding his arms under his chest."Oh, it's something worth it, Craig. So? Have you asked Elena yet? I noticed that you have been avoiding me for the past two days. Why? Is it because of what Elena told you?"Craig rolled his eyes at her. Who does she think she is for him to be avoiding her? He had only been too focused on looking to see if Elena was in school to notice that Sarah had been watching him.What did she mean by him avoiding her because of what Elena told him? Was there really something Elena was supposed to tell him or was she just trying to play mind games with him and make him doubt Elena?"Because of what she told me? What was she supposed to tell me?" He asked, raising his eyebrows at her."She didn't tell you? Well, it's not so surprising. She would rather keep it a secret from you than let you know," Sarah said, shrugging."You know what?
He had told himself, "Why didn't he thinks of it first? Why did he allow Matthew to gain a point ahead of him?"Now he no longer has any problem with that. Matthew was gone and would no longer be in his relationship with Elena.If Elena dated Matthew, which was unlikely judging the way she always treated him, then it was a thing of the past. Matthew was now a thing of the past to him.His main focus right now was on strengthening his relationship with Elena and caring for her."What do you mean? I get that you don't want to be told anything and I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to try and protect you from getting hurt and to let you know what type of person you were dating."" You knew exactly what you wanted when you called that's why you excused Gaby, knowing she won't support your gossip. So stop acting like you had pure intentions. You of all people should know that doesn't work on me." Craig said disgustedly." If you don't do anything now, Matthew would steal your girlfriend and you
"Elena," Craig called as she walked past him without looking at him, "Elena?"She turned to face him, her face blanks and her eyes swollen. She looked really tired and exhausted like someone who had put up an all-nighter."Oh, Craig... I didn't see you. How are you doing?" She asked, staring at him blankly."I'm good," Craig said, looking at her confused.Why was she behaving like they have been seeing each other as if nothing had happened during these past two days?She literally ghosted him for two, no that's not right, three days and she was here acting as if nothing happened.Why was she looking like she was the victim? She looked like she had been ignored by him. Her eyes were so swollen and red like she had been crying for a while.No way! They were close friends but she wouldn't behave this extremely because of Matthew, would she? She couldn't have been crying for the past two days because Matthew left the school without telling her."Good," She said quietly and turned to leave
Darn it! He just never gives up, does he? Here he was thinking of using his team and coach as an excuse to escape playing for the volleyball team only for Jeremy to ask his coach for permission in his absence."He did? Why on Earth would you ask him that in my absence? He might think that I sent you to buy myself some free time and then give me an earful when I see him," Craig lied, rolling his eyes at Jeremy."I'm sorry. I didn't think of that. We'll get it sorted out later. So? What do you say? You'll play for us, right? For the school?" He asked, raising his voice."Craig is gonna play for the volleyball team? Really?" One student asked, looking at him astonished."Guys, Craig is gonna play for the volleyball team this weekend. Who wants to watch him?" A friend of Jeremy's said, attracting the attention of other students."Guys, listen, I haven't decided yet if I would play or...." Craig started to say but was interrupted but the students praising him for trying to bring honor to t
Elena took a big bite of her sandwich and sighed. She was right about Silver still being mad at her. She couldn't blame her though.She was still mad at herself for saying something like that to Matthew when he had just told her about his feelings for her.She had been too shocked. Not shocked that Matthew had confessed his feelings for her, which had been pretty much obvious for a while, but she was still shocked that Matthew was no longer going to be with her and that it was all real.She still remembered when they were driving to the airport. She had thought that it was still a dream, that it was not real.She had been too dumbstruck at the airport, to shocked that he was really leaving that she had decided that it was best she pretends she doesn't have feelings for him and let him go.She was so stupid for doing that and she still chides herself for that every single day. She had just one more chance, just one and she blew it, resulting in her friendship breaking.Imagine her at t
Gaby looked up at Craig from her meal. He was still smiling at them, giving her a look that said, "Can you please leave? It's urgent I need to talk to her."She nodded and looked back at Elena and tried to stand up but the look on Elena's face made her door back down.Elena's looked mad and kept staring at her food without even looking at Craig. Gaby sighed and shook her head. They were at it again. Elena and Craig were arguing with each other again."Hello? Gaby? Can you?" Craig said, motioning for her to leave."She's isn't going anywhere, Craig," Elena said quietly after a while."Why? I need to have a talk with you. She won't feel comfortable when we are talking in front of her. Let her go, she wants to leave," Craig said in an edgy voice." You sure are making her comfortable by insisting that she leaves. This isn't the first time she sits next to us while we have our conversations, if you really want to talk, have a seat. She's not leaving," Elena said staring Craig right in the
"Gosh, can you ever let something go? I didn't mean to say it, I have never said it to anyone, I have never thought of it. It just slipped out, can you please let it go?"Gaby cleared her throat when he said that, trying to remind him that he had not just thought of it, but also voiced it out to her, not just once but several times that she had to shut him up from saying it.He looked at her and got what she was trying to tell him. He pleaded with her using his eyes to tell her not to let Elena know that he had said it to her several times."No. I never let things go, especially things like this. If word gets out about something like this, do you have any idea what that would do for me and my reputation? Everyone and I mean it, would not even try to understand my situation, no one would even bother to hear my side of the story.""I know that's why I'm trying to prevent it from....""You don't get it because you're a guy. If words spread that you were double dating, people would prais
