Binary Star ~MILEVEN AU~

chapter five

'If kisses were stars, I'd give you the sky.'

The rest of the week went as well as it could. Mike and Elanor grew close to each other in the past week. They were attached to the hip, with Elanor practically living in Mike's house and skipping classes just so they could spend some time alone without the party constantly bothering them. The party kept finding it funny how they claimed that they were 'just friends' when they both knew deep down that they were so much more. But they didn't admit it. Not just yet.

"This is bullshit! Mike never lets me sit on his seat.", Dustin gestured to Elanor, making the rest of the party agree except for Mike.

"It's cause he doesn't want you farting on it, Dustin.", Elanor giggled, Mike and the party joining her eventually. They continued to bicker over random stuff until the bell went off, signaling that they have to get to class.

The party walked forward, Mike and Elanor following behind.

"You're coming to mine after school right?", the freckle-faced boy asked, looking down at his so-called-best friend.

"Yeah, and I was reckoning maybe we could do our science homework together.", Elanor suggested.

"Yeah, and maybe another round of tickle wa-"

"No! no more tickle wars. Not after you banged your head on the headboard.", the brunette pointed.

"That didn't even hurt!", Mike chuckled but decided to stop up after noticing the serious glare Elanor was sending him. She wasn't okay with Mike often getting hurt claiming that 'it was all part of the fun' casually. Well not on Elanor's watch. She was genuinely worried about him and made sure he didn't hurt himself by accident even if it meant that she had to practically babysit him. Mike was frustrated by it at the beginning
but soon got used to it.

"See ya after school. Bye, Mike", Elanor waved at him before making her way into the classroom.

"Bye, El", Mike watched her walk into the classroom before turning around walking along the corridor with a grin plastered on his freckled-face.

The bell went off, dismissing the school. Finally! Eleanor thought as she picked her stuff up heading towards her locker.

Slam!

A pale hand slammed Elanor's locker right at her face making her turn around with wide eyes to meet up with the person she wished never existed. Troy.

"Hey, there freak.", he smirked.

"Leave me alone, Troy.", Elanor stated firmly.

"I heard about you and Wheeler are a thing now.", he chuckled devilishly before continuing "I'm sure I can give you more than he ever could.", he said stepping closer as Elanor backed away.

"We're just friends and I have nothing to do with you, mouth breather.", she offended.

"What did you just say bitch?!", Troy almost yelled grabbing her wrist abruptly.
