It'll be Alright

COMPLICATED

POV: AMELIA

I hold my backpack tighter as I walk through these familiar school halls.

So what happened that night?
First, let me give you a bit of backstory...

Elio is an asshole. He's always been one. Ever since we were young, all he did was trouble and tease me. He would make fun of me in front of my friends and trip me constantly.

And that's why I've hated him. Unfortunately, he's always been a part of my group because of Adrien and Mia. And he makes sure to make my life a living hell.  To this day, he embarrasses me in front of friends (and guys) and makes everything inconvenient for me. It makes me furious and he knows it.

Because of Adrien and our friendship, I tolerate him. It takes a shit ton of self control not to punch him in the face, but I tolerate him.

Everything was as fine as it could be until that party two days ago. It was one of the last days of summer, and everyone got drunk; including Elio.

I could sense some tension between him and I, and weirdly, he was being nicer to me. At one point we decided to order pizza too.

**flashback**

This pizza is delicious. I take another big bite as I'm finishing my slice. I can see Elio looking at me through my peripheral vision. "What?" I snap at him. He's taken aback.

"Uh- no..nothing"

"Spit it out"

"You've got a little something..." He responds and scoots closer to me. Elio extends his hand out and lightly touches my face.

Woah.

"Uhm thanks" I say while I look into this eyes.

"No problem" He added breaking eye contact and scratching the back of his head.

God what am I thinking? This is Elio, and he's...flirting with me.

Shut up Amelia, he's drunk.
He's not even going to remember this.

After that incident, I decide to go find Mia. I find her and Adrien down the hall filled with people. Oddly, they're whispering. I decide to turn around and leave them alone, while I go get another drink.

This punch tastes disgusting. I fill my cup with more of it.

I need to get some fresh air; these parties can get so claustrophobic sometimes. I step out onto the front yard of the house and start walking.

Ugh, Elio. The last person I want to see right now. I see him with his back hunched and carrying a bottle of wine while he stares off into the distance.

"Are you okay?" I questioned and Elio turns around with tears in his eyes. "Oh my god Elio are you crying?" I say concerned.

"You look really beautiful in that dress"

What? Why is he acting like this?

"You're drunk"

"No I'm not...I need to tell you something"

"Stop messing with me- go home Elio"

"I love you"

Where the hell is this coming from?

"No you don't"

"I-I've loved you since we were 7 years old"

I stare at him in shock, and suddenly I'm filled with rage. "Go home Elio" I snap as I start walking back to the party. He seems stunned by my response, and is about to say something, but then closes his mouth and slouches his shoulders.

How dare he?

Instead of going back inside, I decide to grab my keys and get into my car. I'm leaving this stupid party.

After all these years of bullying and tormenting me, he gets drunk and tells me he loves me? I know my worth, and I'm not about to listen to this asshole.

——————————————————————————-

"Amelia!"

"Huh? Uhm Hi" I say as my teacher stares at me dead in the eye.

"Pay attention"

"Okay um...sorry" I mumble. I hear someone stifle a laugh behind me. "Do you have a problem?" I say as I turn around to see who it is.
Of course, it's Elio.

He cocks his head sideways and smirks at me.
Did he forget what happened? I roll my eyes and turn back around. This was going to be a long week.
