Eleanor's POV.
I went to the school roof after the girls had left the bathroom, thankfully I didn't find anyone here and the sun had started to shine down.
I found a small bench and shade above it so I walked to it, dropping against it.
My mind flashed with the image of Henry running towards me and the tears filled my eyes once more as I blinked them back and rested my back against the chair.
Immediately, my phone chimed in my pocket and I took it out to find a text from Charles asking me if I wanted to hang out tonight..I sighed and texted back a no and placed the phone in my pocket as I looked up at the sky tiredly.
I hadn't gotten enough sleep last night either and right now I didn't want to go back to class even though it was going to get me into trouble. It was better to have detention than go back to face everyone's intens
Eleanor's POV.As I took the stairs downstairs and back to class, I couldn't stop the blush that still filled my cheeks as I could still feel the faint touch of Henry's lips.I had totally forgotten that we were still fake dating, with everything that's been going on, I hadn't remembered and while I was still thinking about going to the game I knew I had to.After totally ignoring Charles's call, I knew I had no choice but to go to the football game because in the end this was all because of him, to show him that I had moved on and I was completely over him.I sighed as I saw Henry up ahead meet up with his friends as they shook hands and left the hallway to another class. Unfortunately, I wasn't going to be in the same class as him because I had Science.Thankfully, someone had come to school drunk and I was no longer the topic of the day. It was
Eleanor's POV.There was a loud eruption of laughter in the room and I breathed in the scent of sweat and I pinched the shirt of my face, frowning at the pair of eleven eyes fixed on me and Tina.I felt embarrassed and wanted to run out of the room when Henry's eyes widened and he smacked the head of a boy next to him."What the fuck Ray?" He asked as the boy laughed nervously before waving at me."Sorry, I thought it was that weird girl in chemistry who's been following me around the whole day." Ray apologized and Henry shook his head at him before he stalked towards me.From the corner of my eyes I saw Tina step backwards shyly and to be honest I wanted to do the same too. Everyone was watching us and I felt so shy I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole.I finally saw Henry properly as he stepped out in front of his opened locker. He had taken off his shirt revealing a toned chest which did pack
Eleanor's POV.I couldn't think straight the whole time I cleaned out the boys locker room with Tina. My mind kept wandering to what I had done to Henry and it was even worse when the rest of the team looked at me like I had murdered him or something."Why did you think he reacted that way?" Tina asked as we swept the floor and I shook my head."I don't know. But I think he got the scar from something he doesn't want to remember. He usually acts like that if I mention something he doesn't want to think about," I said, remembering when I had mentioned his mother.My best guess was that his mother had done that to him."He seems to have a lot of secrets, don't you think?" Tina asked again."Yeah," There were a lot of things that Henry had kept from me and while I knew we were still trying to know each other, it still both
Henry's POV."I don't think that girl is good enough to continue the dare," George said. I kicked the ball in the post and ran back after it."Good! Good Henry!" Coach yelled and blew his whistle as we took our positions and continued playing.I shook my head at what George had said as I raced after the ball with Ray hot on my tail."That's not it. She didn't know that's why, I'm sure she touched the scar unconsciously." I responded to George and he scoffed before dribbling past me and taking the ball from me."Are you sure? Or she's trying to play the saint, the one who would change you?" George asked and I laughed."Focus! George and Henry!" Coach yelled at us and I ran past George faking going to his right when I swerved towards his left and rolled the ball away from him and under my feet before giving the coach a th
Eleanor's POV.I walked silently into the swimming arena as I thought of Henry. My thoughts are all over theplace and finding out that I had feelings for him didn't make it easier to think straight.I shook my head and grabbed my swimsuit from the locker room before pulling open the doorsof the swimming arena.Emy and Daisy seemed to be gossiping at the lower seat in the bleachers, they had changedinto their swim suits already and had pulled their hair into a pony tail. The janitor worked besidethem cleaning the floors and they didn't even bother to leave as they rose their feet. I scoffed attheir rudeness but ignored them.Olivia, who was still in her outfit for the day, with her duffel bag on her lap, was talking tosomeone on the phone and I could only guess it was a guy from the way she looked bored. Shewas beautiful so she had ma
Eleanor's POV.The bus was already waiting outside when we all rushed out and I could hear the sound offootball slamming against the floor from the indoor court and I knew Henry would have goneback to practice.I could imagine his coach being angry at him for coming late and missing half of practicebecause of detention. Part of me felt guilty that it was all my fault that he might get punished butthen I remembered that Jane had been one to bully me and start the whole ruckus."Eleanor, aren't you coming?" Mrs Smith called from the yellow bus that had 'Lions Swim Club'written boldly on it with the head of a lion at the left. I snapped out of my thoughts and made myway to the bus taking the first seat as everyone distributed quickly around.Emy sat at the back with Daisy beside her, Olivia sat at the middle left and Silva middle right.Leavin
Eleanor's POV.I could feel myself falling through the air as I looked up at Ryder in surprise that he would let mego after catching me and preventing me from falling earlier. I watched as his confused featuresof having bumped into me slowly melted away as his lips curled into a smirk and his cold greyeyes filled with amusement.I couldn't only look at him in horror as I didn't have the time to prepare for the fall, I put out myhand to break the fall and I heard the sound of my bone cracking on my wrist before my back hitthe cold hard floor and the rest of my body followed.An intense pain shot through my hand and a silent scream escaped my lips as my eyes filledwith unshed tears and I closed them before folding myself on the floor feeling my swimsuitstretch beyond its limit as it threatened to break out revealing my naked skin to the asshole whohad dropped me.
Eleanor's POV.It didn't take long for the nurse to fix my wrist and wrap a bandage around it before giving mesome drugs to take to speed up the healing process.Luckily it wasn't serious and she said it would be better in a few days. We thanked her andmade for the swimming pool outside.The sun was blazing hot against my skin and I desperately wanted to throw myself into theswimming pool but Mrs Smith had already told me that I was going to sit out of this training andwhile it angered me I understood that it would be really hard to swim with a broken wrist.We both found our way back to the field as the rest of the girls just came out of the shower andtook a seat just beside the girls from West High. They didn't look so bad and while I didn't wantto judge a book by its cover, I knew they were going to be nice. We all greeted and their coach and o
