Gulping nervously, I pulled on the skin off my nails and tried my best to stop from shaking, I couldn't help but think of every worst outcome possible.
Ugh, my stupid brain!
I wanted to be brave, confident, and strong but we don't always get what we want so I'm stuck here nervous as Satan's home!
Nate tried keeping the environment light by cracking jokes here and there occasionally making fun of the way Elijah walked, I was grateful for the effort but it did nothing to ease the nervousness and anxiety I was feeling.
Before I could hyperventilate and die of heart failure, I felt my hand being encased by a large warm hand and tightly clutched, my breath hitched and I looked up to see Elijah gazing at me with soft comforting eyes. I stared deeply into his dark hazel eyes finding them warm and soothing. I felt my whole body and heart calm down and my breath got normal.
Huffing I closed my eyes focusing on Elijah's warm hand rubbing circles on my hand,
The days passed by in a blur and soon it was Monday as I get ready for the first day of my senior year. I haven't felt this happy and laughed so much in years. It felt nice and lovely. I never wanted this feeling to go away, I wanted it to remain in my heart forever.Elijah was, yet again, not here when I woke up. His side of the bed was empty when I woke up so I assume he went to where he went the night I woke up. My mood faltered slightly but I didn't let it ruin the mood entirely so I put on a strong big girl facade ignoring how I was crippling inside.I pouted as I tightened the belt around my waist all the way to keep it from falling but it still did nonetheless. The school didn't provide girls' uniforms because it was a boy's school duh. So I had to wear the boy's one but I was thankful for it. I'd hate to be the odd one out at least this way, it'd help me mix up with them.But the problem was, that even their smallest size was big for me it was way too bi
"Lara Bear" Nate whispered, his voice dripping with concern and worry and I swallowed down all my tears and memories. I was fine. I was ok. I was strong."I'm extremely sorry...I-I didn't know..I'm so sorry" Nate stumbled upon his words cupping my cheeks and I tried to ease his worries by giving him a fake smile."You have nothing to apologize for, I just got nervous, I'm fine," I said convincingly and Nate engulfed me in his bear hug for the second time, me hugging him back. I liked being hugged. It felt nice and warm."I'm so sorry Darlin, I shouldn't have shouted at you", I shook my head and paused his sentence."It's fine Nate, it's all fine," I said hopefully convincing him and shot him a genuine grin.Nate finished making my tie and then laughed at how adorable I looked. His words not mine and he continued pulling my cheeks. We both got startled as the door slammed open and we both screamed a little making the person shout at us to shut the f
My classes went uneventfully, and because I had Elijah and Nate by my side I had a lot of fun. I was beyond happy and jolly! I never knew school could be this fun. My old school was equivalent to Satan's residence, I never had any friends and what you may call the 'outcast' of the school. I was even bullied!But this? This was heaven! I haven't felt this happy and laughed so much in ages. It felt nice to have fun. Especially when I have my friends by my side.Right now, I was walking to my second last class of the day and that was Spanish and then I had my last class Arts. I don't know how but I felt almost confident as I walked with a skip in my steps. Being in Nate's and Elijah's company almost made me confident and brave even. Maybe this was the true me and being in their company brought it out? Shrugging I continued to walk happily with a wide grin on my face.T
I nearly jumped at his deep gruff voice and like a deer caught in headlights, I looked at him with wide eyes. He screamed trouble and mischief and I wanted nothing to do with him.I twirled the end of my shirt nervously and turned to face my canvas ignoring him entirely. He gave me not-so-good uncomfortable vibes.Please God don't let him kill me."Are you ignoring me bunny?" He muttered in a low voice, leaning towards me slightly and I still refused to look at him and continued to sketch. He will just get bored of me and leave me alone soon."The name is Clade" He whispered after a couple of seconds, I couldn't understand why he couldn't take a hint and still was continuing to make an effort while I was ignoring him. I felt bad. This was the same as when I used to talk to other people and they'd ignore me. Omg, I'm a horrible person."M-my names..Alara" I uttered after a few seconds nervously a
It took everything in me to not flinch at the boys standing in front of me in a line. I gulped and counted, holy chicken wings, they were six from what my eyes could see. Six! Six and I was one, a little unfair, don't ya think?"Aww look guys, the little girl is shcawed" I cringed and chuckled nervously as one of the boys mocked me. I wasn't scared, I was just plain nervous.Ok, I'm scared."Um- hi?" I squeaked out and punched myself in the head. Seriously? I wanna die. Please God, make a big hole in the front for I shall fall and die in it.The boys laughed and my heart skipped a beat when a boy with electric blue hair started to walk in front of me, chocolate fudge! I can't even run back into the bathroom cuz they'd just jump over the door and it'd corner me even more. And I can't straight since the monkeys are blocking the entrance.I clenched my fist, and lo
"She's dead?!" I blurted out and my eyes widen as I realized my mouth has, yet again, embarrassed. Great. I face palmed and peeked from my fingers to see Elijah looking back at me with a small smile and amusement dancing in his now light eyes."Yes, Angel I think that's what I meant, yeah" He nodded to himself teasing me and I blushed a little in embarrassment and hid my face with my hands."I'm sorry" I whispered twiddling my fingers nervously and pulled my bottom lip between my teeth."Don't worry your pretty little head about it Angel" He murmured in a low raspy voice and then he brought his hand freeing my lip out of my hold."And don't do that either" He whispered clenching his jaw and fists while I looked at him with a confused frown."Why?" I whispered back and pulled my lip between my teeth again, it is my lip he can't tell me what to do with my own lip.
I got dressed in my uniform tiredly while Elijah and Nate waited outside the bathroom doors. I was exhausted, that nightmare tired me out, all I wanted was to go back to that cloud-like bed and fall asleep.Clutching my head in pain, I leaned back on the door groaning quietly to myself. Sizzle nut. My head pounded and my eyes hurt as I tried to focus. Ugh. How was I going to survive the whole day? I tucked my hair, which was down flowing in the air, behind my ear securing it with a pin."Lara Bear? You alright in there?" I smiled at Nate's concerned voice and decided to ease his worry by opening the door and grinned."There she is" Elijah mumbled quietly giving me a small grin nodding his head at me. I shyly looked down playing with my fingers ignoring all the other boys that were here doing their own business.Elijah stepped in front of me and I bit my lower lip avoiding his gaze as he bent do
There was a tense and awkward silence after Clade said that, and since then Nate has been tense and rigid, Elijah clenching his fist again and again, with a scary calm look present on his face."Aw would you look at that, if I didn't know you better I'd almost thought you aren't very happy to see me", He teased, his eyes had a glint of amusement and mischievous in them. His voice held an undertone of anger despite his front of a silly bad boy. I know there was more to this whole act. I have seen it. I have witnessed it at the art class.Elijah stood up aggravated, his chair falling back from the force, and Nate pressed his lips down impressed and stood up as well. I felt awkward being the only one sitting when my friends were standing so I awkwardly stood up as well. I looked at the half-eaten pancake and I sneakily picked that up and the juice box as well.Nate noticed what I was doing, and winked at me doing the same.&
