Elena slowly unrested her head from Lune's shoulder. She didn't want to think about anything. She didn't.
"True," she said. "My fairy head mother said it's true."
"Oh My God, this is huge!" He said. "And interesting."
Of course, you can say that.
"I didn't want to know."
"Oh," he said. "I'm sorry."
She sighed. "It's okay. So now my real name is supposed to be Courtney?"
"It's a nice name."
"Oh shut up, Luke," she grunted out. "How do they name children at Amigo?"
"Well, if the child previously had a name then that's what the child would be called. But if there's no name tag then they automatically give the child a name," he explained.
True.
"Oh?"
"Yeah," he continu
The path that led to Amigo was a quiet one. Few cars, few houses, few people- making Amigo more peaceful. Ever since Elena was little, she'd always loved walking on the path to relieve stress. When she was younger, it was whenever she was displeased. Whenever she didn't like the meal cooked or had fought with a kid.She walked a little further, accompanied as usual by the ever fresh breeze, endless scattered leaves, and the tiny pebbles begging to be kicked around.She found herself in a nearby park. The screams and squeals of happy people messing with her headphones. She and June had been there once. They both got their faces painted over and over again and ended up looking like a character from the walking dead.Elena smiled at the memory as it quickly vanished as she almost jumped. She pulled off my headphones turning to see who tapped her.She turned to see Daniel looking as handsome as ever.
Elena and June spent the afternoon together. They had the same classes and June kept on holding her so tight like she was scared she'd runaway.June might have noticed, Elena barely spoke. She made sure they didn't dive into any personal question. She didn't want to find herself keeping a distance from her again. She did all the random talking while she just chipped in.Elena missed her."Did I tell you about me and Daniel?""Ayyyy," she screamed, pulling her closer. "Spill girl."Elena smiled. She told her how she saw him and ended up talking for hours."You're cute," she cooed. "Just wait, he'll be asking you on a date soon.""I have no idea what you're talking about."She tickled her, standing up. "I'll get us something to eat."Elena nodded, watching her dance towards the cou
"How was school?" Luke asked Elena, handing over a giant lollipop."You first. How was school?""Transfer to my school, if you want to know," he pouted.Elena shook her head. "You're in your final year, I've got one more year. Seriously?""It doesn't matter."She rolled her eyes. "Are you...""School was okay," he cut her off. "Tons of homework.""Mhmm. Same.""And?" Luke stared at her obviously not satisfied with her answer."Someone called June.""I called you about 30mins ago.""Seriously," Elena replied. "It was an unknown number. But I feel like she saved the number as unknown number.""Ohh.""Yeah," Elena replied, immediately wanting to change the topic. "Guess what?""I don't know.""Ivy invited me
Elena groaned internally on hearing the bell ring. Students poured out of classes, probably heading to their next classes. She remained in her seat, picking her books one after the other, almost reading what's on each book before putting it into her backpack. It was a Friday. She had maths for three periods straight- no breaks. She groaned at the thought of it, again. Probably when she was little, she had done something to her maths textbook or her maths teacher to make maths hate her that much. Anyways, the feeling was mutual. Daniel had undeniably helped. At least some formulas came to her head quite easier and some numbers finally decided to dance in a rhythm she understood. Nevertheless, she still hated maths. "Hey," Daniel said, appearing out of nowhere, walking beside her. "Oh Hi," she could have sworn she saw his arms almost go to her
They stepped into Ivy's house, accompanied by the deafening music. Elena clutched on to her purse, glad she needn't worry about her tripping, thanks to her flats. June was excited, way too excited, as she found her way into the crowd, her eyes scanning every corner."Heyy," Ivy screamed through the loud music blaring from the speakers, walking towards Elena and June. She looked gorgeous. She wore an aqua green gown reaching her mid thighs. She was beautiful, even June had to admit. "Did you just get here?""Yup.""Oh okay," she replied. "My brother is, should be around.""Your brother?""Yeah," Ivy smiled. "I didn't forget to tell you, did I? It's my brother's birthday party."True.Ivy's brother. Harry Shane. He was in his final year and quite popular too. With his good looks, brains, and good sense of humor- at least so they said.
Daniel: Asleep already?Elena woke up to a splitting headache and an unread message from Daniel. She rolled on her bed, grabbing her phone, as she swiped it unlock.Elena: Hey, Good morning.Damn, a hundred soldiers marching in her head.She tossed her phone after checking the time. 7:02am. She rolled in bed, again."Elena, get up," her roommate tap her. "You'll be late for prayers.""If the sisters notice I'm not at prayers, tell them I have a terrible headache so I can't get out of bed.""Okay," she replied, getting up from Elena's bed. "You've used meds?""Nah, I'm good."Elena watched all her roommates leave the room one after the other, finally shutting the door. Her phone beeped again, as she sluggishly took it.Daniel: Good morning. How are you? How was yesterday'
“Good luck.”Elena broke free from Luke’s hug, smiling at him.“Are you nervous?” he asked her.“Nope,” Elena replied. “I’m a smartass, you know?”“Yeah. Donald Trump is the president of India too.”“I hate you,” Elena laughed, kicking him. “Just wait and see.”“Ah, yes. I will,” he replied, smirking. “Your eyebrows are at risk.”“Luke, get out,” Elena scowled. “I’m off to school to meet people who BELIEVE in me. GOODBYE!”Luke laughed. “I love youuuu.”True.“I hate you!”----“Elena, give it your all. Don’t try to unnecessarily get stressed. Try your best and
“Elena, Sister Gemma asked me to call you.”“Okay,” Elena replied, putting on her regular flip flops.“She’s along the corridor.”Elena nodded in reply, opening the door to leave. She had gotten in yesterday careful not to collide with any of the sisters. Her roommates were still up when she got in. They had all noticed the smile on her face and asked what happened. Even though she said nothing, she went to bed, her hands clutching her necklace, a half smile plastered on her face.Luke didn’t wait for her, which was unusual.And now that Sister Gemma had called for her so early in the morning, it was even more unusual.“Good morning, Sister Gemma.”“Elena, good morning,” she replied. “How are you?”“I’m fine.”
