About Last Night

Chapter 11

After that, I went back to class.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet. I want to present to you all a new student. Melissa, please have a seat next to Elle. Elle sweetie raise your hand please." said the teacher. I did and Melissa came over and sat in the empty seat next to me.

"Hi, I'm Elle."

"Melissa" The teacher went on with the class and then the bell rang. Lunchtime, great.

"Come with me you can sit with me during lunch. "

"Okay, thanks! I was afraid I'd have to sit alone!"

"No worries!" we walked into the cafeteria and we both grabbed lunch. She followed me outside. On my way out I saw Hardin and we made eye contact. As I'm walking past his friend group one of his friends trips me.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I exclaim

"It was just a joke calm down." No shit, it wasn't a joke now I'm all dirty. I grab my chocolate milk and pour it all over him. As I'm walking out of the cafeteria changing directions now headed towards the bathroom Melissa and Hardin follow behind me. I walk into the bathroom and Melissa helps me wipe the food off my shirt and jeans. Hardin comes running into the bathroom.

"Are you okay?" he asks out of breath

"What are you doing in here this is the girls' restroom!" exclaims Melissa

"Shut up I wasn't talking to you,"

"Don't tell her to shut up Hardin, and no I'm not okay, if that stupid friend of yours wouldn't have tripped me then I would've been perfectly fine!"

"He won't do it again I already talked to him."

"Well it's too late now, c'mon Melissa," I say as I'm walking out of the bathroom.

"Where are we going?" asks Melissa with a worried face.

"My house, we can eat there." We both walk out of the bathroom and I purposely bump into Hardin's shoulder on my way out. On my way out I bump into a guy

"I'm so sorry!" I say

Laughing he says "It's alright! But you don't look okay"

"I'm fine, I was just heading out," I say. I walk out of the school.

Hardins POV

"Hey, do you know that girl? Mind giving me her number? She's pretty hot." asked the guy.

"Fuck no, she's mine. Now fuck off and don't call her hot you asshole."

Elles POV

"How far away is your house?" asked Melissa

"Not too far, maybe 5-6 minutes," I said. We finally got there and opened the door with the spare keys inside a pot that was outside since I had left my keys at school.

"Make yourself comfortable. I'll go change and I'll be down shortly"

"Okay, thanks!" said Melissa

"Yea, no problem," I said as I ran up the stairs and quickly got in the shower. I then got out and changed into a new pair of clothes. All my jeans were dirty so I had no option but to wear a dress. It was a casual dress you would find someone wear to a picnic or a date but nothing too formal or too slutty like the dresses you would wear to parties. I didn't wash my hair so my curls were still down. I walk down into the living room and see Melissa on the couch, Hardin right next to her.

"What are you doing here?" I said

"I heard that you were going to eat lunch here so I brought you guys some food I got on my way here," he said

"Look Elle the food smells amazing! C'mon, you can't say no to it!" says Melissa while smelling the food. Ugh, she clearly doesn't understand who Hardin is and how bad he is. I was going to warn her about him soon but everything just happened so fast I didn't get a chance to.

"I don't want your pitty," I said looking at Hardin with a serious face

"It's not pitty I just wanted to make sure you ate," he said concerned.

"Since when do you care about what I do and what I don't do?"

"Believe it or not I care about you. Just because I'm a fuckboy doesn't mean I don't have feelings. And may I remind you, you're the one mad at me. I'm not mad at you."

"C'mon Elle, let's eat!" said Melissa

"Fine." We ate and I'm not going to lie the food was amazing. But of course, I wasn't going to let Hardin know that. I had a big ego.

"This food was great! Thanks, Hardin," said Melissa.

"No worries," said Hardin while looking at me. I didn't say anything. I wasn't going to thank him after he'd told me to fuck off. He needed to apologize first.

"May I use the washroom Elle?" asked Melissa.

"Sure, take the stairs and the bathroom door is always open so guests know where to go," As she headed upstairs I throw the plastic plate the food came in away.

"I'm sorry Elle." said Hardin, "I'm sorry for telling you to fuck off earlier, I really am. I don't like it when you're mad at me especially not now." I look at him in the eyes and notice that he is being serious and isn't messing around with me.

"It's fine, I'm also sorry for acting like such a brat towards you. And thank you for the food."
