“Hi, Ellie.” Ace smiled at me when he saw me walking up to the table he had reserved. He eyed Xander in suspicion. Xander had a smirk on his face as he walked beside me.He's staring at Xander as if Xander was some kind of alien…“Hi, Ace.” I smiled as I stood with Xander near the table. Well, thinking about it, Xander might be an alien. I mean, who could look this handsome and still be so stupid and idiotic?“What is he doing here? I thought that this was our date.” Ace spoke up as he eyed Xander. Xander was about to say something but I elbowed him, making him shut up. I don't want Xander to start telling Ace about everything that is going on between us… At least not yet… “Actually, Ace, when I met Cassie again, I realized that you guys have more chemistry than you and I do. And let's face it, we were just meant to be friends. It was so awkward to even try to be something else.” I said with an apologetic smile. “Are you saying this because I left you on our date to
“Why did Mason get a fresh batch of your special chocolate cookies?” Jason questioned as he eyed his twin who was busy eating the cookies as if it was his last meal ever. “He went out with Sarah when I asked him to.” I told him Jason’s eyes grew wide as he turned to his twin with wide eyes. “Is that why you looked so pale when you came back home?” Jason asked his brother who just nodded his head as he munched on the cookies. “Why did you bake cookies for him for going out with Sarah?” Damien asked me with a confused frown on his face. “To save me.” Xander answered for me as he sat down in the seat next to me. It was our lunch break now and it was just me, the twins, Damien, Xander and a few of the guys from the football team at our table in the cafeteria. Apparently, Sarah was crying over something and so all the girls were with her, trying to console her. And Liam being the awesome boyfriend he is, decided to help his girlfriend with it.“How did that save you?” Jas
I kept staring at the grass, not speaking anything. I knew that Damien was staring at me, but I didn’t look at him. I was afraid of showing him how weak I was currently feeling. When Damien and I walked out, we made our way out to the entrance of the school which had a few trees. We were currently sitting on the grass under the shade of a tree.“Ellie, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I am sorry for getting angry.” Damien sighed. I turned to him and wrapped my arms around his neck as I hugged him. I felt his arms around me, hugging me back.Out of all my friends, it was Damien who was always on my side. No matter what, he never yelled at me. He was the only one who never fought with me.Even if I did something wrong, he always took my side. Damien never talked harshly with me. At least not in front of anyone else.Damien pulled away and smiled at me. I smiled back. He raised an eyebrow in question. I sighed. I knew that he was waiting for me to explain everything to him. He was
“You were the one who said that you don’t want others to know just yet. Then what made you tell Damien?” Xander spoke as he narrowed his eyes at me. I shrugged at that and smiled as Damien walked into the room with a huge knife in his hand. Damien saw me staring at the knife and he sighed. “You were the one who told me that the rifle won’t scare him! This was the only other option!” Damien told me. “Do you really need anything to scare someone?” I asked Damien as I got up and walked up to him. “Are your fists on a vacation? Where is my scary boxer best friend?” I asked him. Damien shook his head at me before looking behind me to Xander.“Are you sure that you want to be with this crazy chick?” Damien asked Xander. I gasped at that. “Hey! I am standing right here! And I think that you are forgetting that I am your best friend!” I reminded him. He just ignored me as he waited for Xander’s reply. Xander chuckled before standing up from his couch he was sitting in and ca
“Ellie, you seem a little too happy lately. What happened?” Liam asked as I settled down in my seat in the cafeteria. Xander settled down next me and smirked at me. He was waiting to see what I will tell Liam. Ever since we told Damien about the two of us, I have been feeling a little freer and have been able to enjoy my dates with Xander. Damien helped us cover it all up whenever anyone questioned us about it.As for Xander, I have realised that he is better than I thought. Besides his obvious good looks, Xander is an awesome guy to go out with. He is really sweet. And even though I have known him all my life, it is now that I realise how amazing he really is.I never knew that Xander was the Prince Charming I was waiting for. He is just perfect. He makes me so happy.The best thing about being with Xander is that he knows everything about me already and I know everything about him. We know each other's likes and dislikes.“Can’t I be happy?” I asked Liam. “Not with th
“When were you two planning to tell us about it?” Liam asked as he crossed his arms and looked at me as if he was the strict teacher scolding a toddler for coloring outside the lines. We were back at my house. After the whole incident, we all just decided to skip the rest of the classes and relax our minds and have a nice talk to clear everything up. So, we were up in my room now since my parents weren’t home at this time.“It wasn’t a secret that we were hiding from everyone!” Xander said. “Damien knew about it.” He added. Liam turned to Damien and narrowed his eyes at him. I would have laughed at Liam's expression if I wasn't sitting right in front of him.If he were a cartoon character, his head would have been blown to bits due to his anger!“You knew? Why didn't you tell any of us?” Liam asked Damien, who looked bored. “Ellie told me not to tell anyone.” Damien shrugged. My eyes grew wide as Liam turned his angry gaze back to me. I was completely frozen in shock.
“I am sorry, Ellie. If I knew about it all, I would have never let Sarah go after him. I am so damn sorry for everything she said.” Cassie told me. Imagine my surprise at seeing her on my doorstep when I opened the door on a Saturday morning. And she wasn’t alone. Sarah and Kara were with her. And even though she was apologizing about Sarah’s behaviour, Sarah looked the least bit apologetic. Kara on the other hand looked like she was about to cry. Me and the boys avoided the lunch room and Sarah after what happened in the cafeteria. Kara didn’t even show up at school while Sarah tried to talk to Xander whenever she could but Xander grabbed me and kissed me whenever she got too close. It got too much when he kissed me in front of a teacher and I had to help him avoid Sarah for my own safety.“Cassie! I didn’t expect to see you here.” I said, trying to sound a little cheerful.“I know. Look, I am just here to apologize. I didn’t know that you and that boy were together. I s
“Ms Ambrosia, I told you that you should leave these boys and find better friends.” Principal Hughes told me. I sighed. I really don’t want to hear this… “Sir, with all due respect, Damien is an amazing friend. And Xander isn’t any less. In fact all the friends I have are amazing. I wouldn’t want to leave them for anything in the world.” I told him in a kind tone. “Then why do they always end up coming to my office?” Principal Hughes asked me with a raised eyebrow as if he was challenging me. Liam was so lucky to have been able to avoid this!“Sir, the qualities that make a person a good friend aren’t their scholastic achievements or how disciplined they are. The qualities of a good friend are that the person is trust-worthy and reliable. And I am pretty sure that my friends are pretty trust-worthy and reliable. They have never let me down.” I told him. “They might be reliable and trust-worthy for you but they sure aren’t the best choice, Eleanor. You are a very brig
