Elena’s eyes roamed the contents of the letter, a part of her touched and the other not moved a bit.“What’s that?” She heard her mother say as she hurriedly crumpled the paper in her hands.“It’s nothing.” She replied, standing up and walking away to her room.She closed the door, locking it before flopping onto the bed. She brought out her phone and met a message from Craig.“Hi, I’m home already.”Her lips curved into a small smile as she texted him back, the both of them immersing themselves in a conversation.“Did you read the letter she wrote to you?” He asked after an hour of chatting.“I did. I wasn’t touched by that.” She texted back.She was about to continue texting when a call entered. Rolling her eyes and laying on her back as Craig’s name was displayed on her phone.“So you won’t call while we’re chatting but would because of Gaby?”“Elena, please.”“For fuck’s sake,” she cut him off. “I told you already not to get involved. We’ll sort it out; it’s a girl's matter, not a

Days passed, and neither Elena nor Craig were talking to each other. And Silver became her Uber driver, carrying her to school and returning her home every day. She missed her chances with Xavier because there was no way she would let Elena be. “This is the last time. If you call me again, I’m not going to carry you. You’ll start taking your Ubers or take any other thing.” “Or I can follow you and Xavier to school.” “That’s not an option,” Silver replied, killing the engine of the car as they both got down. Rumors were now flooding the school forum much more than anything. Neither Gaby nor Bianca has not returned to school, and the escorts of Bianca’s parents have also filed a report for their children being bullied. As much as that was a serious issue and needed to be curbed, the students had no interest in that. Most of them talked about how Elena and Craig seemed to avoid each other while Matthew and Sarah followed each other like

“Hey,” Elena shyly greeted, pulling out a chair from Matthew’s table and taking her seat. She called for a waitress who brought her snacks from their table and dropped it off for her. “Is everything fine with him?” Sarah questioned, munching down the crackers in her hand. “Sure. Just an emergency.” Elena retorted with a small smile, taking her phone out and continuing with her message with Silver. She was a bit nervous, seating with them and eating. She should have just maintained her table until they were ready to go and she could go with them that way. She clenched her jaw at intervals, trying her best not to show how nervous she was. “Are you okay?” She heard his voice and her heart took a sharp turn. “I’m fine.” She looked up at him and replied, smiling a bit before turning back to her phone. “When you’re done, let’s go.” Matthew said after as she looked up again. She wasn’t really interested in the

Matthew dropped Elena off at home that afternoon again, leaving after getting a hug from her. Elena was feeling much better and the feeling of recklessness was getting to her again.“Have a safe drive,” she said to him before walking towards her door and closing it in his face.She leaned against the door, her heart full of joy and warm out of happiness. They both exchanged texts today in the class, doing their silly thing of making best of teachers and even though she didn’t sit with him during lunch, he had ordered her food before she got there and just brought it to her table.“Why are you smiling like someone in love?”Her mom’s voice startled her as she hurriedly moved away from the door.She was dressed in a lazy sweater, a mug in her hand and her fluffy slippers in her legs.“Nothing. What are you doing at home by the way?” Elena retorted quickly, moving towards the stairs to get away from her mother.“Did Craig do something romantic and sweet you’re not telling me? Or what?” He

“Okay,” Gaby replied weakly. She was putting on an oversized sweatshirt and a big pants. With the look on her face, she was sweating nervously even though there was no heat. “You’ve not been taking care of yourself,” Elena said as she walked towards her door. She unlocked it and allowed her go in first, before Silver arrived. “Hi silver,” Gaby greeted too. She stood in the middle of the room, not living last few inches from the door. “I just came here to apologize and tell you I’m so sorry for doing such thing. I know no amount of sorry can make up for everything but I just needed to say it and clear it off my chest.” “I’m moving away.” She added as her lips stretched out. “To where?” Both Silver and Elena said at the same time. “To another school, another city. A boarding school this time, mh parents are not moving.” She retorted. Elena couldn’t find the words to use. She had forgott
