They walked gracefully into the class with their heads facing downwards expecting the punishment they would receive.
“Jace told me that Jayson was not feeling well so how are you?” She asked Jayson.They both looked up at her surprised and then looked at Jace. They winked at him and turned towards Mrs Cutterwood.“Erm.. I am fine.” Jayson replied.“Hmm, that’s good. You can both have your seats.” The teacher said and turned towards the board.Ellie watched how Jayson slowly marched towards her desk and took a seat beside her. She looked at him suspiciously and looked away only to see Shawna's threatening eyes staring deep at her.She cringed under her gaze and gulped dryly then she relaxed back on the chair.**“What were you guys expecting? Huh?” Jeremy said and chuckled.“I just stared at how sweaty Jake had become, he was already blowing hot.” Jace said and burst out laughing.Jake rolled his eyes him and“Tests are coming up and all you do is play around?” He shouted at her.She flinched and tears started rolling down her cheeks.“I am sorry.” She apologised.“Sorry? I told you to always read so that you won't disappoint dad but here you are running around.” He complained. She looked at him and angrily wiped the tears away“What? You have always told me what to do. Don’t I have my life to live? I am a grown up girl, will you please stop controlling me.” She shouted out of frustration.“That is where you are getting all wrong.” He said as he rubbed his forehead.“You are my sister and I will always want the best for you. But whenever I see you slacking off. I just get enraged, you know. Dad…” He said as he pulled her into a hug.“We are not from the same mother but I love you so much like a real sister.” He said as he pecked her forehead.“I am sorry for annoying you. It is just that..” “I know, I under
“Hi.” Ellie heard and turned towards her. She stood dumbfounded and tongue tied.“Hmm, hi.” Ellie replied in return and smiled a little bit.“I was thinking if you would love to have lunch with me today.” Aria asked.“W-What?” Ellie asked surprised.“I know I don’t usually talk to people but I just want to be friends with you.” Aria said with a coy smile.“Hey, Ellie, let's go to…” Elsa stopped talking and narrowed her eyes on the person beside her sister.Aria- the quiet nerd as she has been nicknamed.“Hmm, hi.” Aria greeted with a slight wave.“Hi.” Elsa replied curtly and gave Ellie a what-the-hell-is -going-on look.“I will meet you during lunch.” Aria said to Ellie and left.“What are you doing with her?” Elsa asked.“Nothing, I was just bringing my chemistry notebook from my locker when she came up to me and said she will love to have lunch with me and be my friend.” Ellie replied and shrugged.“Lunch and friend?” Elsa asked, st
“What?!” Julia exclaimed and burst out laughing.Ellie and Elsa just stared at her and shook their heads.“I mean he is such a talkative, can you imagine him telling the class such thing?” Julia said and took a bite from her sandwich.“Whatever.”“It was Jake and Jayson that stood up for us and reminded him of the laws then he tendered his apology.” Ellie said.“Wow.” Julia exclaimed.“You have not used up to two years here and you already caught their attention.” Julia said and raised her eyebrows.“And so?” Elsa asked, sounding almost annoyed.“Hey, don’t be annoyed. Just that, you know.” Julia said and sipped her juice.Tap! Tap!Ellie turned back to see the person that had tapped her. Elsa smirked while Julia gawked at the person.“Hey, you seem to have forgotten that you would be having lunch with me.” Aria said.“Oops, really sorry about that. It skipped my m
“What?” Shawna screamed. She had expected Jayson and her to be paired or even if she was not paired with him. At least if it was someone else, she could just bribe the person or let it be.But then it was this girl. The girl that she hates with passion right from the time they met.“And what is the problem, Miss Shawna?” The teacher asked.“Erm.. Nothing actually.” She said and brought her gaze down to her table. She was boiling in anger, her insides were so hot that she could blow anytime.“Jake and Maureen.”“Jace and Lisa.”“Michael and Shawna.”“Ellie and Mark.” The teacher continued calling their names and those they were paired with.“The sheets for the practical are going to be sent to you.”“You have a week to do it and submit.” The teacher added.“Have a nice day.” She said and left.*“Hey, I guess we were paired.” Mark said and Ellie looked up to him.
Chapter 14[Love is Pain]Jace and Jeremy burst out laughing.“Like the both of you are waiting for one to meet the other one first.” Jasper said and chuckled. He shook his head.“And what's wrong with that?” Jayson asked.“Nothing, absolutely nothing.” Jake said and smiled.Jayson looked at him and scoffed.*“Elsa, you’re sitting down there?” Ellie asked while Elsa looked up to see them.“Won't you meet your partner for further details and planning?” She asked.“Why don’t you ask my paired partner the same question?” She replied.“It is your cup of tea, you know.” “The teacher said the mark will be added to our exam score.” Aria said.“I know.” Elsa said.Ellie chuckled.“When you are done with this hard to get game, come and meet me at the dorm.” Ellie said and left.Not long after, did Elsa leave too.~•~“And have you
Chapter 15[A New Day]**Next Monday**Grrr! Grrr! Grrr!“What the heck is sounding so noisily?” Elsa mumbled in her sleep while Ellie tossed to the other side of her bed.Grrr! Grrr! The alarm rang again.“Please, Elsa, could you please switch off whatever is making this loud noise?” Ellie grunted in her sleep.“I also don’t know what is ringing so loudly.” Elsa muttered.Ellie stretched her hands out of the blanket and searched for the alarm sleepily. She kept hitting several places on the stool next to her.“Hey, be careful with whatever you are hitting, it is making even more noise.” Elsa said, sounding annoyed.“Why can't you search for it yourself instead?” Ellie retorted while dozing off.Elsa soon joined in search for whatever was making the noise. Then suddenly their hands hit something, in a move to turn it off, the alarm fell down on the floor with a thud thereby
**Days Later**“Hey, Ellie.” Aria said as she got closer to her.“Oh, Aria.” Ellie said pronouncing her name smoothly. Aria smiled.“How are you doing?” Aria asked.“Good, and you?” Ellie asked.“Fine.”“Noticed you were quite busy with things.” Aria said.“Yeah, this practical of a thing is quite exhausting.” Ellie said and stretched.Ellie opened her locker and started searching for her pen when she saw a paper gummed to her locked door.“And what is this?” Ellie asked as she removed it. She narrowed her eyes to read what was written on it.“Ton..” She was still reading what was written there.“I think it is upside down.” Aria said and collected the paper. She placed it properly on her palm.“Oh, thanks.” Ellie said.“Stay.. A-away… from.. Him.” She pronounced slowly.“And who is this?” Ellie asked.“Who the
Chapter 17[Tell Him To Come] “What of your practical?” Julia asked as the twins took a seat beside her. “I am done with mine, all it remains is proofreading.” Ellie said. “Okay, what of you, Elsa?” Julia asked preventing herself from laughing out loud. Ellie looked between the both of them and bit her lips to stop her from laughing also. “Just say you wanted to insult me.” Elsa said and hissed. “I don’t know why you and Jayson are behaving like kids?” Julia said and shrugged. “What is bad there if one of you approach the other?” Julia asked. “The truth is I don’t want to have anything to do with him or anyone relating to him.” Elsa said. A pang hit Julia on her chest.“And how would you know anyone that is relating to him?” Julia asked and looked at her keenly. “How they behave.” She said simply and ate her French fries. “How they behave? How do they behave?” Julia asked as it had taken her interest.
