“I’m sorry.” Elena said, opening her eyes and walking towards him. “I know I was at fault during the Sarah thing, interrupting your dates and doing things that clearly weren’t needed. I just didn’t like her with you, and it seems you two were getting too close.” She added, stopping some meters away from him. “I’m so sorry. I really missed you, talking to you, singing in the car with you, going out with you, and telling you about my new escapades. There was no one I could tell about my mum and the principal on call every morning, sending flowers to her twice in a week and even acting like a gentleman to her. And to be honest, I’m so tired of it.” Elena said. She heard a chuckle escape his throat, setting her heart at ease as she continued. “And Craig has been the nice boyfriend, I didn’t introduce you to him or tell you about him. I’ve heard his history before you come up with that, but he’s still trying his best to make us work.” “In
Matthew was pacing back and forth, his mind restless since he got away from the phone call he received from Silver. Silver was coming to his place suddenly, and he couldn’t help but grow suspicious about it. She only went to Elena’s place and sometimes came with Elena all the time she visited his place. He started getting suspicious of her right from this afternoon in the cafeteria when she asked if he would be at home in the afternoon. He had nowhere to go and was still recovering from his sickness, so he had told her yes, only for her to call some minutes back and say she was on her way to this place. His eyes roamed the entire room, making sure everything was neat, and he couldn’t help but scoff and chuckle in his own way. Why was he acting like his mum was bringing her friend to the house? Or his strict father that was bringing his male friend? He turned on the television and went to the kitchen, taking a bowl and serving himself the noodles he cook
“I can't believe I have to do this,"Elena muttered for the umpteenth time in the car.Silver had picked her up from the house, and they were on the way to school. According to Matthew, she should make the apology in the morning while Sarah is at her locker, and everything will be settled.“I don't know why. I'm not even friends with this girl. Why the Fuck do I have to apologize to her?" She groaned out again.“Matthew is my friend. My own friend and not Sarah, and now I have to apologize to Sarah, who clearly just wants to get laid by Matthew.” She added as she hissed, massaging her forehead.Silver decided to keep quiet. Going with Matthew yesterday caused her to hear lots of words from Elena.“If you had said he was wrong on that, I’m sure he would have asked me not to apologize, but you had to go with him.” Elena had said this to her yesterday, and the thought of all she had said made a smile bloom on her lips.“So now it’s funny?” She heard her say
“You haven’t been replying to my texts since last night? Is everything okay with you?” Craig asked as he fed Elena her chops, his brown eyeballs roaming around her face. “Ohh. I totally forgot. I’ve been busy, and a lot is on my mind. I’m sorry.” She replied to him as she smiled, leaning to place a peck on his cheeks. “Is Gaby okay with you? She has been acting out of the blue since yesterday, she didn’t come home, and she didn’t say anything about it.” He added as she leaned away, his eyes containing concern as he stared into space. Elena’s brows earned a raise at his words, “she didn’t come home?” “Nope. When I called, she said she was passing the night at James' place. Didn’t say anything than that.” He replied. “I called her, and she said she’s with James. So she’s not lying about that for first.” Elena added. Craig sighed before turning to face her, a small smile on his lips. “Just be with her and always talk
Elena stood up from her chair immediately as the bell rang for the end of the period. “Elena,” the teacher called out, still packing her books and surprised to see her up. “I’m sorry. I just have to use the toilet so bad.” She had forgotten about the teacher since she slept through the class, only standing up when she heard the bell. The teacher eyed her as she walked out of the class, leaving Elena to continue with her main purpose of standing up. “Hi Sarah, want to talk for a while?” She said, tugging her lips into a small smile as Sarah eyed her. They both walked outside after, stopping a few steps away from the class door and facing each other. “What’s wrong?” Sarah asked, the distaste on her face visibly shown. “I get that you don’t like me with Matthew or you don’t want to see us together. He’s only yours because you have a fucking crush on him. But going out there and spouting shits of the things I did to t
“What?” Elena and Silver said together.“I knew that if I acted like something was wrong with me. You guys would take your eyes off the boys and finally focus on me. Not to mention, I know Craig has something to do with this. He loves me more than himself.” She added, leaning back as she smiled with her teeth.Silver and Elena stared at her, their expression unreadable.“Are you for real or saying this to escape?” Silver was the first to talk.“Let’s go shopping then,” Elena said to Silver, sitting straight as she faced the front.“Alright.” Gaby replied from the backseat.“Did you see the post they wrote about you, Elena? I know Craig asked them to take it down, but did you see it? It was wild.” She said from the backseat as Silver started the car again.“Do you have it? I’ll like to see it.” Elena retorted before Gaby passed her the phone.**************Craig picked up Elena the next day at her place, dropping her off and pecking her before going to the basketball field. Elena arri
Things didn’t look like they would get better for both Elena and Matthew, and it pissed Elena off. Instead of focusing on getting their relationship to get on track again, he was busy frolicking with Sarah, always on her beck and call to the extent that the school gossiper was now thinking that Sarah was Matthew’s new master.“I thought you guys ended the fight. Why does it look like the fight just begun?” Gaby started as they walked into the school.Elena rolled her eyes as she walked past her, her hand on the straps of her back and pulling it closer to her back. “I don’t want to talk about it,” she muttered.“Sometimes I wonder if you guys are just friends or if there’s something you’re keeping from us. The look between you guys, it has this deep sense…It was at this moment that Elena saw Matthew standing beside Sarah’s locker and talking to her. He looked at her locker and passed her a little wave that did nothing more than anger her more.“Gaby, we’re just friends.” She interrup
“That's a tough one, Bianca.” One of the guys said as the whole class burst into laughter.Elena’s lips curled up, staring at Bianca with a victorious smirk on her lips.“Would you like to return to your seat?” She asked, raising her brows after.Bianca scoffed out, her lips contorted into a dangerous and angry smirk.“Fine. I’ll do one of the things you said and have them bring it to you. But brace yourself. It might not be funny like you think it is.”“I don’t think it’ll be funny either way. So just try to be better in that aspect.” Elena replied.“What’s going on here?” The teacher's voice rang out before Bianca could talk.“Bye,” Elena said, adding a little mockery wave for Bianca as she walked to her seat.Everyone scrambled to their seats as the teacher walked to the front of the class. Silver rushed inside the class halfway into it, catching Elena’s lance and mouthing some words to her.“We need to talk.”**************Elena has not been settled ever since Silver mouthed the
