Two of a kind

Chapter 2

"Dear journal, it's Wednesday February 9, 2022. Nothing new besides we have another new neighbor in apt. 109 so I guess that's fun. He looks about my age and about 5 inches taller than me.
-xoxo Harper"

Harper gets up out of bed turning off her alarm that reads 5:45 a.m. she changes into a pair of ripped jeans and a green cropped sweater. She throws her hair up into a claw clip, grabs her book bag and a Pop Tart for the road. She grabs her keys before saying bye to her dad.

"Bye dad I'm going to school!" She yells as loud as she can from the Pop Tart still being in her mouth and being in her room. She walks out the door to see Miguel waiting for her standing there on his phone. He looks up to see her walk out her front door closing and locking it behind her.
"Hey wait up!" Miguel yells jogging towards her.
"Hey Miguel, you need a ride?"
"Yeah, if it's no inconvenience to you of course" he said jokingly.
"Uhm no, you can walk" she jokes rolling her eyes unlocking her red 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Z16. "Get in loser" she chuckles. As Harper and Miguel pull up to park she sees her enemy. She looks to her left and sees the rich girls. She rolls her eyes and looks at Miguel.

"Those are the petty rich girls her, she's Yasmine, that one next to her on her right, that's Moon, and the one on Yasmine's left, that's Samantha Larusso." We don't like them nor do they like us. She walks into school. It's her first day back so the first thing she does is text Eli.

Harper has the biggest crush on Eli.

Eli has the biggest crush on Harper.

They all compare schedules and to their surprise they have all the same classes in the same order. They all walk to 1-5 period together picking seats right next to one another. The bell rings to go to lunch and they all walk into the lunch room together getting glances stares, laughs, Demetri even got tripped.

"If you couldn't tell, we're all fan favorites. Everyone loves us here." Harper stated looking in the direction of her new found friend. As Miguel goes to sit down he asks Demetri.
"Is it okay if I sit here?"
"Sorry, tables really blowing up right now. I can put you on the waitlist, but it's probably next semester at the earliest."

"Ok." Miguel said bummed.
"No, I'm kidding. Sit."

Harper walks ip behind Eli going to scare him. Miguel looks at her and all she puts a finger to her mouth and mouth 'shhhh'. She leans down to Eli's ear and yells 'BOO!' Eli jumps holding his heart saying quietly
"gosh Harp you scared the crap out of me."

"Sorry" she says squeezing his hand which he immediately returned.

Harper sits down next to Eli playing with her green beans.

"Miguel" he says.
"Demetri. This is Eli. He's a man of few words." Miguel keeps staring at Yasmine.
"Dude don't torture yourself. Those are the rich girls" Demetri said looking at Yasmine.
"Do you ever talk to them, or" Miguel questioned the lanky boy.
"Oh yeah all the time! We hang out after school, make out, give each other hand jobs" Demetri glances at Harper.  Eli smirking at Harper as well. "Y'know Eli here is the homecoming king" Harper smirks.
"gets laid more than anyone isn't that right Eli " Demetri said plainly. "Talk to them? You realize what table your sitting at right. You pretty much signed away all hopes of losing your virginity before college. Well besides Harper, she's hot." Harper couldn't help but cackle, almost falling back when she felt hands wrap around her waist pulling her back.

She looked at Eli blush forming on her cheeks as she smiled and said "thanks eli". He smiles giving her a quick nod."oh shit, Yasmines looking at us, probably just making fun of me" Eli whispered. Harper reaching down under the table to hold Eli's hand, who looks up at the girl with wide eyes and a smile. "I-i don't think she's making fun of you. I mean just because they're hot doesn't mean they're mean" Miguel tried to comfort the boy. "I don't care if they're the meanest girls in the school, I'd kill all three of you just to get her to spit in my face." "Ouch" Harper says throwing her half eaten apple at his forehead. Just for him to return the favor but before it hit Harpers head she ducked then caught the apple launching it at the back of Miguel's head so he would stop staring.
By the end of the day Harper looks up at the clock seeing that it reads '2:30' so she grabs her book bag and binder while getting grabbed by her hips out of the classroom and into the storage closet.
She couldn't see. All she could see is black but until the light above her flickers on. She's about to scream when she opens her eyes to see Eli.
"WHAT THE HELL ELI I THOUGHT I WAS ABOUT TO DIE!" She starts shaking  having a panic attack.

"I'm so sorry I had no clue I thought you knew it was me" he pulled the smaller girl into his arms resting her tear stained face onto his chest while he rests his chin on the top of her head. His arms around her neck loosely while her arms are around the boys waist. Their phone both buzz at the same time getting a text from Demetri.
