I paced back and forth, nervously biting off my nails as I waited for Elijah. It was morning now, and he still wasn't back! What if he is in some sort of trouble? What if someone kidnapped him?
But I kicked that thought out of my brain because Elijah was a beefcake! No one would even have the guts to think of kidnapping him because he'd scared them off with his one emotionless blank look.
Do I search for him? Ew, no, that'd make me look so clingy.
But wait a minute, why the heck in chicken tenders am I even thinking about him??! I have so many other productive and important things to do.
Like.....like.....OH YEAH..like gather all my books from the library and talk with the principal about the bathroom issue.
Pulling up my big girl britches, I tightened up my ponytail and left the room after picking up my key and safely putting it in my pocket. Yesterday, Nate was here before I even woke up, what happened today? Did I scare him off with my weirdness last night?
Fudging cheesecake and snipdoodles! I should have been more mature and graceful. Maybe then, they would have wanted to stay friends with me.
Chewing my bottom lip and playing with the hem of my dress, I walked towards the principal office. I frowned when I felt uncomfortable. Something felt weird, the silence and quietness yesterday has disappeared. Weird.
Ignoring my stupid thoughts, I walked inside the principal office and politely knocked on the door, after asking the bored secretary.
"Come in!" He hollered and I gulped before going inside. I poked my head inside and gave him a small nervous smile. My brown hair falling to the side."Um-uh...hello" I sheepishly muttered wanting to yeet myself outta the window.
"Yes, any problem, kid?" He politely asked me in a soft tone and signed me to sit on the chair. I peeked at his name board, Mr. Zachary.
"Yes, actually- um- I had a problem with the bathrooms" I murmured in a low tone hoping he'd get the matter himself. He just simply blinked at me and I let out a tired sigh.
"There are no doors," I said in a weak voice and he let out an 'oh making a face of realization and then made an apologetic face.
"Oh, I m sorry for that part, but you need not worry, a door for you will be installed in 2 days, you need to manage till then," He said in low voice with an undertone of apology. I nodded and smiled at him before asking thee permission to leave.
Ok, that went well than I expected. Now to the library. My stomach grumbled lowly so I changed my route to the cafeteria, Nate told me that on spring break, the cook made extra batches for the students who stay back, and yesterday we took out a container from the fridge and just ate it after heating it. It was delicious!
However, as soon as my eyes saw the cafeteria, I paused in my steps. My entire body froze, my mouth gaped open like a fish, as I scanned the cafeteria with wide eyes. My heartbeat got fast, I was afraid it was going to punch its way out and run away. My hands started to shake and I swallowed down all the inhumane noises that threatened to escape my throat.
The cafeteria was crowded with BOYS! There were boys everywhere who now froze as well.
They all paused like someone pressed a pause button and looked at me with wide eyes as well, slowly standing up from their places, looking at me with shocked faces.
My cheeks burned in embarrassment, and my eyes became wet, I blinked faster to avoid the tears escaping my eye, because I'd literally jump off Burj Khalifa if I cried in front of so many boys.
Then I took a small step back, and the boys burst into a frenzy, all of them stood up slowly, looked at each other then at me. One quickly grabbed a fistful of fries shoving it in his mouth all while looking at me.
Uh-oh. Before I knew what was happening all of them started running. Towards me.
I let out a loud scream and started to run back inside.MISSION ABORT!!!! Frick shiznut son of a gun shnickerdookies!
Stinky fish, tears started to fell from my eyes, and I muffled a sob as I ran as fast as I can with the loud thudding of boys running behind me.
Before I could think further, I felt someone grab my upper arm and I felt a hand over my mouth as the person started dragging me. I struggled to kick and thrashing in the hold as the person let out a familiar 'oomph.
I stopped struggling and looked behind me to see Elijah clutching his...dingly...
Wiping my tears with the sleeves, I looked at Elijah with an 'about to cry' face. I then paused looking at the state he was in. His leather black jacket and black jeans were messy with mud, his hands looked rough knuckles all burst up, and he had a cut on his cheekbone, his raven hair sticking up in all directions, greasy with-holy hazelnut- IT WAS BLOOD! I gasped at his messy state with wide eyes.
He sighed and motioned me to follow him. I gulped and followed to where he was going. He grabbed my hand intertwining our fingers together, I looked at him startled, my heart skipping a beat.
He dragged me off to an underground abandoned room. I didn't even know there was an underground thing but apparently, Elijah and Nate found it one day when they were exploring instead of studying.
He looked behind me and then around before locking the room and sitting on the chair. I looked around the room and it actually looked decent. There were comfortable-looking clean couches and even a mini-fridge! Was-was that a fricking tv?
I gazed around with an impressed face and proceed to plop my butt onto the couch.
"Sorry", Elijah murmured looking down cracking his knuckles rubbing the back of his neck.
"It's... it's alright" I murmured in a low tone gathering the nerves to interrogate him about last night.
"Um..uh, where were you? Uhm, the morning I mean, I woke up and your bed was empty" I regret my whole life, fricking wet pineapple, someone kills me now."Yeah, I had some work to do, I had no idea they'll be all back today" He looked angry and guilty. So I gave him a polite smile in hopes to ease some of his guilt.
"It's ok, don't beat yourself on it, but- but why do you look soo....like-"
"Like someone fucking mugged me? Cuz yeah, someone did" He interrupted me tightening his fist as if reminiscing the scene, and clenched his jaw in anger.
I gasped loudly covering my mouth with my hands. Oh my God, this poor boy! Running up to him, I examined him closely looking at the cut in his cheekbone.
He chuckled darkly, "It's funny how you think this is bad, Angel, the other guy looked like death"
Oh, my Holy Unicorns and Macaroni
"What happened?" I blurted out curiously not thinking about how annoying that probably made me seem."I got mugged on my way here by some guys but I beat them all" I gave him a wide smile and patted his thick bicep."Woah, that's so cool" I gushed in excitement and I waved my hands around. I have always wanted to get involved in a fight.Elijah raised his brow, his lips twitching upwards in a smile but he hissed in pain at his knuckles and cheek. My eyes widen when I thought about the mini first aid kit in my bag. I ran back to where I carelessly threw my empty bag and took out a mini kit from a hidden compartment.This has become a habit, I guess, to carry a kit with you everywhere in case your wound opens up, you never know.Elijah raised his brow-yet again- when I brought up the kit to him."Do you want to do it yourself or I can do it for you?" I suggested him with a small smile and he nodded his head offering his hand to me.Havi
Gulping nervously, I pulled on the skin off my nails and tried my best to stop from shaking, I couldn't help but think of every worst outcome possible.Ugh, my stupid brain!I wanted to be brave, confident, and strong but we don't always get what we want so I'm stuck here nervous as Satan's home!Nate tried keeping the environment light by cracking jokes here and there occasionally making fun of the way Elijah walked, I was grateful for the effort but it did nothing to ease the nervousness and anxiety I was feeling.Before I could hyperventilate and die of heart failure, I felt my hand being encased by a large warm hand and tightly clutched, my breath hitched and I looked up to see Elijah gazing at me with soft comforting eyes. I stared deeply into his dark hazel eyes finding them warm and soothing. I felt my whole body and heart calm down and my breath got normal.Huffing I closed my eyes focusing on Elijah's warm hand rubbing circles on my hand,
The days passed by in a blur and soon it was Monday as I get ready for the first day of my senior year. I haven't felt this happy and laughed so much in years. It felt nice and lovely. I never wanted this feeling to go away, I wanted it to remain in my heart forever.Elijah was, yet again, not here when I woke up. His side of the bed was empty when I woke up so I assume he went to where he went the night I woke up. My mood faltered slightly but I didn't let it ruin the mood entirely so I put on a strong big girl facade ignoring how I was crippling inside.I pouted as I tightened the belt around my waist all the way to keep it from falling but it still did nonetheless. The school didn't provide girls' uniforms because it was a boy's school duh. So I had to wear the boy's one but I was thankful for it. I'd hate to be the odd one out at least this way, it'd help me mix up with them.But the problem was, that even their smallest size was big for me it was way too bi
"Lara Bear" Nate whispered, his voice dripping with concern and worry and I swallowed down all my tears and memories. I was fine. I was ok. I was strong."I'm extremely sorry...I-I didn't know..I'm so sorry" Nate stumbled upon his words cupping my cheeks and I tried to ease his worries by giving him a fake smile."You have nothing to apologize for, I just got nervous, I'm fine," I said convincingly and Nate engulfed me in his bear hug for the second time, me hugging him back. I liked being hugged. It felt nice and warm."I'm so sorry Darlin, I shouldn't have shouted at you", I shook my head and paused his sentence."It's fine Nate, it's all fine," I said hopefully convincing him and shot him a genuine grin.Nate finished making my tie and then laughed at how adorable I looked. His words not mine and he continued pulling my cheeks. We both got startled as the door slammed open and we both screamed a little making the person shout at us to shut the f
My classes went uneventfully, and because I had Elijah and Nate by my side I had a lot of fun. I was beyond happy and jolly! I never knew school could be this fun. My old school was equivalent to Satan's residence, I never had any friends and what you may call the 'outcast' of the school. I was even bullied!But this? This was heaven! I haven't felt this happy and laughed so much in ages. It felt nice to have fun. Especially when I have my friends by my side.Right now, I was walking to my second last class of the day and that was Spanish and then I had my last class Arts. I don't know how but I felt almost confident as I walked with a skip in my steps. Being in Nate's and Elijah's company almost made me confident and brave even. Maybe this was the true me and being in their company brought it out? Shrugging I continued to walk happily with a wide grin on my face.T
I nearly jumped at his deep gruff voice and like a deer caught in headlights, I looked at him with wide eyes. He screamed trouble and mischief and I wanted nothing to do with him.I twirled the end of my shirt nervously and turned to face my canvas ignoring him entirely. He gave me not-so-good uncomfortable vibes.Please God don't let him kill me."Are you ignoring me bunny?" He muttered in a low voice, leaning towards me slightly and I still refused to look at him and continued to sketch. He will just get bored of me and leave me alone soon."The name is Clade" He whispered after a couple of seconds, I couldn't understand why he couldn't take a hint and still was continuing to make an effort while I was ignoring him. I felt bad. This was the same as when I used to talk to other people and they'd ignore me. Omg, I'm a horrible person."M-my names..Alara" I uttered after a few seconds nervously a
It took everything in me to not flinch at the boys standing in front of me in a line. I gulped and counted, holy chicken wings, they were six from what my eyes could see. Six! Six and I was one, a little unfair, don't ya think?"Aww look guys, the little girl is shcawed" I cringed and chuckled nervously as one of the boys mocked me. I wasn't scared, I was just plain nervous.Ok, I'm scared."Um- hi?" I squeaked out and punched myself in the head. Seriously? I wanna die. Please God, make a big hole in the front for I shall fall and die in it.The boys laughed and my heart skipped a beat when a boy with electric blue hair started to walk in front of me, chocolate fudge! I can't even run back into the bathroom cuz they'd just jump over the door and it'd corner me even more. And I can't straight since the monkeys are blocking the entrance.I clenched my fist, and lo
"She's dead?!" I blurted out and my eyes widen as I realized my mouth has, yet again, embarrassed. Great. I face palmed and peeked from my fingers to see Elijah looking back at me with a small smile and amusement dancing in his now light eyes."Yes, Angel I think that's what I meant, yeah" He nodded to himself teasing me and I blushed a little in embarrassment and hid my face with my hands."I'm sorry" I whispered twiddling my fingers nervously and pulled my bottom lip between my teeth."Don't worry your pretty little head about it Angel" He murmured in a low raspy voice and then he brought his hand freeing my lip out of my hold."And don't do that either" He whispered clenching his jaw and fists while I looked at him with a confused frown."Why?" I whispered back and pulled my lip between my teeth again, it is my lip he can't tell me what to do with my own lip.
