She climbed out of Silver’s car, shutting the door with her eyes fixed on a particular spot. It was Matthew’s car and Sarah was stepping out of his passenger seat with smiles on her face. Elena clenched her jaw, feeling irritated and disgusted at her act. She was just trying to go to bed with him; why pretend about it?The thought of it and the way she felt as she saw them together made her remember one of the blog posts she saw while doing her search. ‘you’ll feel jealous and irritated when you see them with another person, especially if it’s with your gender and they’re laughing and acting cute together.’“Elena..” Silver called out as she saw her bouncing off, not even waiting for her or replying to her.Her eyes darted across the parking lot, trying to find out what could have triggered her after the smile she had managed to put on her face. At the sight of Matthew and his new girl, she sighed heavily, confirming where the problem was coming from.“They should just kiss and make u
“Where have you been?” Sarah asked Matthew as he placed his tray beside her, took his seat, and dropped his bag to the floor.“Went to the restroom.” He replied curtly.Sarah noticed something was wrong with him, and did not bother to press it again. She started a conversation with one of his friends but her mind was still on whatever was going on with him. It couldn’t be about Elena, they had both sorted that out and decided not to bring it up again. He told her while they were coming to school this morning that he'd like to get to know her more, and it was the best she had ever received in her entire life.Even thinking about it and replaying his exact words in her brain made a smile bloom on her face. She had liked him since the first year of school, always checking him out, wanting to get closer to him and be his friend. But everytime she tried to get closer to him, she was always there. She was a late bloomer, resumed later than the rest of them but he was her first friend. They
“Thank you so much for taking care of her.” Clara, Elena’s mom, said as the nurse helped her with Elena inside the car. “You’re welcome. Just keep her warm and check on her from time to time.” The nurse said, bowing to her and offering a small smile before walking back inside the school. They had called her from her office to tell her something was wrong and she had to rush here at the last minute. She was met with a pale daughter who was deep in her sleep and her hand clutching her lower stomach. She was given the scare of her life until the nurse said she had gotten better. She knew her daughter was one with extreme period pains, and they’d complained at the hospital but were always told it was nothing serious, but she had never gotten to this extent before. “Mrs Sergio,” she heard the principal call out to her. His voice was distinct, and it made her smile. Tucking her hair at the back of her hair, she turned to face him, her fac
After an hour of napping in the bathroom, she finally came out of it. She was met with a well-laid bed with a brown bedspread and a tampon with new pants. “You’re the best mum.” She muttered to herself, walking closer to the bed also to meet a fresh set of pajamas on it. Wearing them slowly as she can, she spent another thirty minutes dressing up, blow drying her hair and sitting in front of her mirror, checking her reflection. She picked up the eyeliner and was just about to line her eyes when the door opened, turning to look at her mum who had a distraught look on her face, “What are you trying to do?” She said to her, her brows deepening on her face. “Nothing.” Elena replied, covering the lid slowly and putting it back in its place. Clara eyed her before walking inside, in her hand a tray of hot foods for her girl. She placed it in front of her, placing her hand on her hips after as she stared at Elena. “Start eating.”
“A guy?” The lady replied with a cocked brow, straightening the crease on the bed.“Yeah. A bit tall, kind of…“Apart from the female friend that brought you here and your mum checking out after, I’m sorry, but no one came to check on you after that.” She said, looking up at Elena again.“I’m sorry, but is there a problem?” She questioned.“No! Not at all. I’m just curious about it. Thanks.” Elena said, stretching her lips into a thin smile before turning towards the door.Her grip tightened against the arm of her bag, and a different kind of pain spread through her body. She closed the door quietly, walking some inches away before leaning on the wall. What had she expected? That he was going to come and check on her?“Lol.” She scoffed out, closing her eyes to stop the tears that were threatening to spill out of her eyes.She sniffed in, clenching her jaw and unclenching it before opening her eyes. She gasped out in shock as her eyes came to meet a particular one.“You look like a gh
“Sheeesh. You guys should relax.” He added before chuckling, turning to his food and digging back into it.“You guys look like you’ve been caught with something bad and will faint anytime from now on.”The bell rang instantly, and Matthew stood up, picked up his bag, and walked off.“Hey.”He heard them call out to him but decided not to answer.He proceeded to his locker to exchange the book in his bags, his mind going back to what his idiot friend might have want to say. He knew there was something, and he might have just stopped because he wanted to.He left to the class, shaking his head as he walked away. Too many things have been on his mind lately, and he was not even getting the hang of it again. He needed a good sleep or nap.Like always, the first place his eyes went to as he entered the class was Elena’s seat, his brows raised as he saw her talking to the new girl.“Thanks.” Elena said to the girl as she handed her a burger, throwing her a smile before unwrapping it.“It’s
Elena was in bed after a long school day, coming home to eat and settling down to do her assignments. She didn’t come home with the school bus because her new friend had a car and wanted to drop her off. She laid down with her back, turning her head to the ceiling and staring at it. She was still in awe about the new girl that she had stepped things up with that easily. Sighing as her chest fell, she closed her eyes briefly before opening them again. Apart from her talking too much, she was so full of energy, which Elena didn’t understand. She also had Energy in her if she was dealing with Matthew, but apart from that, there was nothing in her again. A notification popped on her phone, causing her to shift on the bed and pick it up. Her face scrunched into a frown as she saw a new number on it, her mind already taking a guess on who it could be. “Hi, friend,” the number texted her. She decided not to open the message, wanting to close the phon
“I’m sorry if it shocked you, but if you had picked up your call, I would have told you.”“And don’t you have any other friends you can spend the night with?” Elena questioned her.Gaby sighed as she picked up her bag, throwing it on Elena, which unbalanced her feet.“Next time, you’ll invite someone in before asking all kinds of questions,” Gaby said, pushing her aside and stepping into the house.There was a look of surprise on her face; the house was moderately furnished, cozy, and warm. She heaved a deep sigh, inhaling its delicious scent before finding her way to the living room.“I hate the day I met you,” Elena muttered under her breath and carried the bag, slamming the door close before dumping it on the floor.She walked to the living room and sat opposite Gaby, their eyes boring holes into each other’s as they stared.“You can’t stay here. I did not discuss anything like this with my mom before, and it would be a surprise. Just go home, and let’s plan this another day.” Elen
