I gasped in horror as the water dripped down Elijah's hair and his clothes onto the floor. He gritted his jaw and clenched his fist, I could feel the anger radiating from his.
Was he now about to go all hulk mode on us?Just as I was about to jump out the window, he did something really unexpected.He picked up the paint tube and squirted it all on Nate who squealed and ran around but Elijah ran after him squirting it all over Nate. I laughed loudly but my laughter died down when Nate picked up another paint tube and started to squirt on me. I shrieked and picked up the tube and bent down hiding underneath the table. Poking my head out, I peeked at both of them who picked up the tables and used them as shields and occasionally throwing paints and water at each other. There was silence for a few seconds. "I'm gonna fucking kill you" Elijah grumbled hiding behind the table while Nate just laughed evilly. I peeked again to see him emptying 4 tubes in a bucket of water and he rubbed his hand together smirking like a devil.He got distracted as Elijah threw him a water balloon that he just manifested outta his butt so I took this as a perfect opportunity to crawl into Nate's area. Sneakily grabbing the bucket Nate prepared to attack with, I threw it all at him cackling loudly. Nate screamed and laid on the ground dramatically poking out his tongue. I laughed and ran towards Elijah who chuckled.We both looked towards each other panting heavily before bursting into laughter. He looked like a clown! I bet I looked like one as well. Nate stood up looking at himself and then at us laughing loudly pointing at us.
He took out his phone and start to click our pictures. I squealed hiding behind Elijah grasping the back of his shirt. I felt him tense a little before he relaxed.
I only had my picture clicked once and I looked like broccoli!We all paused and looked at each other when we heard yells and shouts when Nate screamed"RUN!" --------------------------------------------------------"That was fun" I murmured with a small smile on my face. I pulled the towel around my wet body tighter as I waited for the boys to finish. Right now we were in the bathroom, the boys let me shower first holding up a blanket as a curtain for me. They were such sweet gentlemen! My back was facing them because I had no intention of seeing two handsome naked men. "Hell Yeah, it was!" Nate cheered making me smile as I rolled back and forth on the balls of my feet."Fuck you, this shit isn't coming off!" Elijah grumbled as usual and I heard 'whoosh' 'whoosh' in the background before hearing Nate snicker. He was right, to be really honest, it came off really hard, I rubbed my skin until it was red and even then it was there a little bit, but I wasn't that bad, I shuddered, Nate and Elijah were literally covered head to toe with it. Like they rolled in it.I clutched the large towel tightly around me, we figured it'll take us long for me to go and grab my clothes so we just grabbed the towels from the storage cabinets here. Feeling a tap on my shoulder I turned around, and Elijah flinched as my wet hair hit him in his face. "Sorry", apologizing sheepishly I played with my fingers but he shrugged and placed a comforting hand on my towel-clad shoulder.Nate wiggled his brows mischievously and placed his arm around my shoulder yanking me close to him."I can't wait for you to start school" Nate whispered to me and my eyes widen and my breath got stuck in our throat.All the boys will return the day after tomorrow. "Hey, hey, it's ok, we're with you, don't worry about anything munchkin" Nate nudged my head with his shoulder and he and Elijah both gave me comforting smiles.I hope it will be. I hope everything will be fine., I hope everyone takes this as lightly as these two did. I hope I feel always happy like this. I hope I won't be embarrassed. I hope I don't jinx this.Aah, one can only hope.--------------------------------------------------------My eyes jerked open but I didn't move an inch, as I heard the lamp from Elijah's side open, and I also heard him shuffling. He grunted and grumbled as I heard him packing something. Then he neared my bed, and I nearly peed myself as he waved his arm in front of my face and I pretended to sleep.I was always good at pretending, whenever my mother was drunk and had her bad mean friends over, I'd always pretend to sleep and it always worked. Elijah let out a relieved sigh and he opened the door slightly and left the room. I immediately shuffled around to look at his bed and he had arranged the pillows instead of himself. Clever butthole.Chewing my lip in curiosity, I wondered where'd he go? Should I investigate? My eyes brighten, and I waited for a good five minutes before I hurriedly wore my shoes, picked up my keys, and put them in my pocket. I tried to recall Nate's room number, he just told me as we were walking and chatting. Running fastly, my inner ninja on full mode, I quickly knocked on Nate's door. Pouting when he didn't open the door, I start to kick, ouch, I hurt my precious toe."What the fuc-Lara Bear what are you doing here?" He asked me dumbfounded as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He pulled me inside his room and locked it making me sit on his bed and offering a bottle of water as I breathed heavily. Downing the bottle in one gulp, I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and gave him a serious look with wide eyes and a pout for that extra effect."We have a mission!" I whispered seriously while he stood up, all traces of sleepiness and tiredness went as he pranced around with sudden excitement and all hyped up."Ooooooh, I LOVE MISSIONS!" He whispers yelled and I slapped my forehead. Was this even a good idea?"We have to sneak-""Oh my- I didn't take you as a bad girl Lara Bear" He interrupted me throwing me a smirk and a mischievous look. "Where is Eli boo?" He asked again tapping his chin with his finger."He is the one who sneaked out and we have to go find him" I explained exasperatedly waving my hands around in the air as Nate widen his eyes and came to a realization and he smiled sheepishly. I narrowed my eyes at him and he avoided my eyes."You know where he sneaked to, don't you?" I accused him and placed my hands on my hips."You know what Lara Bear? It is very late, you should go back to your dorm like a good little girl and sleep, alright? See you tomorrow, buy-bye- shoo now" He basically shoved me out of his dorm and slammed the door on my face. What on Earth? They were fools if they think I was letting this go. They were on my radar now, and I was going to go into the depth of this.----------------------------------------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
"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
