CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
Elena was glad Luke decided to tag along. Not that she’d admit it or tell him anyways. She hadn’t even had the opportunity to tell him about Ireland cause he was too busy telling about things that happened while she was away. He told her his school, Amigo and everything that happened to him.
The bus ride was short or long- whichever way, she didn’t notice cause they were too engrossed in their conversation.
They alighted at the second to the last bus stop, according to Luke was a trekkable distance away from June’s apartment building. They got down, Luke’s arm protectively around Elena’s shoulders as they walked.
“Are you sure we aren’t about to get lost?” Elena asked Luke for the hundredth time.
Again, Luke ignored the question.
“You know i’m just making sure we-”

Elena slammed her locker with one hand, holding her books with the other. She headed to class, anticipating June’s arrival- they both had English class.She opened the door to her classroom, earning few eyes turning towards her. Her eyes immediately scanned the class, searching for June. The teacher wasn’t in class yet to her surprise.Time passed by slowly. The teacher said everything she had to say, more than half attracting a ‘true’ from Elena’s head. Her mind was constantly wavering. June wasn’t in class.She needed to see June. She needed to confront her and say what was on her mind. She needed to clear things.The bell finally rang, Elena immediately jumping out of her seat. She grabbed her books hastening , throwing them into her bag. She brought out her phone to text June.Elena: Where are you?She

Elena fiddled with the red shoe laces, trying to tie them into the exact bow they were tied up in when Daniel gave them to her. After series of failed attempts, she gave up, tying it up in a regular knot. He was right. The sneakers looked good on their uniform and even better with her complimenting it with knee high socks. She grabbed her backpack, rebuttoned her shirt to make her necklace less obvious and headed to school. In less than 25 minutes, she got to school immediately heading towards her locker. She inputted her locker combination, opening it to reveal two pictures. One of her and Luke and one of her and June. June. She looked around hoping to see in the hallways. Just as she hoped, June appeared right beside her."Hey girlll," June greeted, her voice filled with enthusiasm as usual. "Were you expecting me?"

Elena twirled, showing off her gown. It was a black sleeveless one with a flare from her lower bust to her knee. It had artificial flowers stitched all over the neckline with a black lacy belt sewn onto it. She had her hair tied up in a neat bun and had matching black flats on.Daniel was able to successfully sweet talk the sisters into allowing them go. Whatever or however he said it, they gave him their support and also developed a soft side for him."It's not a funeral, you know," Luke commented as he checked her out. "So much black.""Thanks for the compliment."Luke gesticulated with his fingers, making Elena roll her eyes. "Where's your purse? Girls carry purses around with them.""For what?""Duh," it was his turn to roll his eyes. "To keep their makeup, tissues and you know, girl stuff.""Well, that's why I have you," she s

"Luke-""Those people, are my parents," Luke said before Elena could say anything further.True."Your parents? Daniel's parents are your parents?" Elena asked, confusion evident in her voice."Yes," he laughed, covering his eyes with his hands. "My parents weren't dead when I got to Amigo. They didn't give me up for adoption either, I ran away from home myself."True.Elena simply took his hands into hers, giving it a light squeeze."They were always extreme workaholics," Luke continued. "Sometimes I wondered why they decided to have children when they weren't ready to have our time. I barely spent enough time with my family when I was growing up. My elder and younger brother were both in a boarding school faraway. I wondered my they didn't just send me to the boarding school too instead of leaving me with an army of strange

Elena sighed.Her eyes ran through the hallways as she hoped she'd see anyone she knew. Just anyone would be fine.She knew she was already 25minutes late for class, that not even motivating her to head towards class faster. She slowly slammed her locker shut, throwing the notebook and pens she collected from it into her bag.She didn't see Luke in the morning. Either he went to school really early or he was going really late. She had uselessly lurked around, hoping to see him before leaving for school thus she got late.She had maths. Positive that June would be in class already, she hoped she saved a seat for her next to hers. She couldn't imagine eyes following her as she looked for a seat to sit. If she was unlucky, her annoying classmates would fill the empty seats next to them with their backpacks immediately they saw her approaching. Not that they hated her, they did it everytime someone was l

We left together.Daniel: No, we went to visit a relative.Da

Elena stared at the ceiling she had been staring at for the past one hour.She laid on her bed, resting her head on her tears soaked pillow. She was exhausted. She was tired.She felt alone. She had never felt that way in her whole life. She and Luke never fought. They disagreed on trivial matters but never actually got angry at each other."Elena, it's time for dinner," Lily said to her. "Are you okay?""Yeah, I'm fine," she sniffled. "I'm not hungry, thanks."Lily looked at her for a while before replying. "Okay, take care of yourself.""Mhm mhm."She sat up, picking her phone.Elena: lol. Me and Luke just had this huge argument.She exhaled at the familiar sight of bubbles floating on the screen.Daniel: Hey. What happened?Daniel: How are y

"And that'll be all for today. Don't forget to submit your homeworks before next class."Elena grabbed her books as she stood up to leave class. The one hour chemistry class had finally come to an end.She walked through the hallway, hoping to see Daniel so she'd not have to go all the way to the pool to meet him. He left class midway with Jordan texting her that the seniors called all of them on the swimming team."Elena."She heard someone call her name, making her turn.It was June."Until when are you going to keep on ignoring me?" June asked, standing few inches away from her."Until it all makes sense.""Elena, you can't continue giving me the silent treatment," June said, frustrated. "Please, talk to me.""Talk to you?" Elena asked, irked. "Okay, fine. Let me try to put
