Eleanor's POV.I gasped in shock at Jane's words but it was like my tongue has been tied up or my brain frozen, unable to conjure words to respond back to her. "What? Cat got your tongue or you've been using the tongue for other things?" She asked as the girls laughed at her attempt at a joke. "Give it back," I finally said as I reached for the piece of paper in her hand. A few students had stepped to the entrance behind me as they watched the scene and even went to call the others who had settled in their seats already. I was starting to feel really embarrassed from the attention I was getting from the students. Jane drew back her hand as she laughed, taking the paper away from my reach. "What is going on with you and Henry anyways? You seem to be trying so hard to get to him," Jane said and a few of the students gasped from behind me and I shook my head. "Nothing. We are

  Eleanor's POV. I went to the school roof after the girls had left the bathroom, thankfully I didn't find anyone here and the sun had started to shine down.  I found a small bench and shade above it so I walked to it, dropping against it.  My mind flashed with the image of Henry running towards me and the tears filled my eyes once more as I blinked them back and rested my back against the chair.  Immediately, my phone chimed in my pocket and I took it out to find a text from Charles asking me if I wanted to hang out tonight..I sighed and texted back a no and placed the phone in my pocket as I looked up at the sky tiredly.  I hadn't gotten enough sleep last night either and right now I didn't want to go back to class even though it was going to get me into trouble. It was better to have detention than go back to face everyone's intens

 Eleanor's POV.There was a loud eruption of laughter in the room and I breathed in the scent of sweat and I pinched the shirt of my face, frowning at the pair of eleven eyes fixed on me and Tina. I felt embarrassed and wanted to run out of the room when Henry's eyes widened and he smacked the head of a boy next to him."What the fuck Ray?" He asked as the boy laughed nervously before waving at me."Sorry, I thought it was that weird girl in chemistry who's been following me around the whole day." Ray apologized and Henry shook his head at him before he stalked towards me. From the corner of my eyes I saw Tina step backwards shyly and to be honest I wanted to do the same too. Everyone was watching us and I felt so shy I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole. I finally saw Henry properly as he stepped out in front of his opened locker. He had taken off his shirt revealing a toned chest which did pack

  Henry's POV. "I don't think that girl is good enough to continue the dare," George said. I kicked the ball in the post and ran back after it.  "Good! Good Henry!" Coach yelled and blew his whistle as we took our positions and continued playing.  I shook my head at what George had said as I raced after the ball with Ray hot on my tail. "That's not it. She didn't know that's why, I'm sure she touched the scar unconsciously." I responded to George and he scoffed before dribbling past me and taking the ball from me. "Are you sure? Or she's trying to play the saint, the one who would change you?" George asked and I laughed. "Focus! George and Henry!" Coach yelled at us and I ran past George faking going to his right when I swerved towards his left and rolled the ball away from him and under my feet before giving the coach a th

 Eleanor's POV.The bus was already waiting outside when we all rushed out and I could hear the sound of football slamming against the floor from the indoor court and I knew Henry would have gone back to practice.I could imagine his coach being angry at him for coming late and missing half of practice because of detention. Part of me felt guilty that it was all my fault that he might get punished but then I remembered that Jane had been one to bully me and start the whole ruckus."Eleanor, aren't you coming?" Mrs Smith called from the yellow bus that had 'Lions Swim Club' written boldly on it with the head of a lion at the left. I snapped out of my thoughts and made my way to the bus taking the first seat as everyone distributed quickly around. Emy sat at the back with Daisy beside her, Olivia sat at the middle left and Silva middle right. Leavin
