Will he

chapter 21 - too good to be true

Pov: Eliza

"Yo! you guys look fucking exhausted," Cole chuckles as he catches a glimpse of Carter and me. 

We were, I know Carter was exhausted because of the trip and I just spent the rest of yesterday with him. We listened to music, talked, and then I forced him to eat out with me. 

I was technically braindead after it all. 

But it was amazing, then again every moment I spend with Carter is special.

"Yeah well the trip was absolute crap, I'll tell you about it during lunch," Carter states as Cole gives him a fist bump and stands beside him. 

We were standing near Carter's locker, I watch as students walk past us when suddenly I see Ryan glaring directly at us.

His nose was plastered and he was holding his hand to support the bandage, he looked pissed, what the hell happened? 

Cole directs his attention to catch a glimpse at what I was looking at, "Pfft he looks deflated dude, good job bro!" he scoffs and punches Carter on the shoulder. 

Carter did that to him? Why? 

My eyes widen as I glare at Carter, his proud laughter dies down into a thin-lipped smile, "I'm sorry, he was being an ass so I might have punched him & threw him against the lockers." He explains. 

Punched him & threw him against the lockers!? BITCH YOU BETTER BE JOKING.

"In what way was he being an ass?" I deadpan, Carter's expression turns serious, making Cole straighten his posture. 

"He was talking shit about you and saying things that nobody should utter about you, so I gave him what he fucking deserved. It isn't that bad, Ellie." Carter says. This guy. 

I roll my eyes and look back at Ryan who was standing there like a fire hydrant, I admit, he looked kinda hilarious. 

"Whatever, I'll see you guys at lunch, I got to get to Mr. Moor's boring ass lecture." Cole smiles as he hugs me and heads to class. 

Carter's smile reappears as I cross my arms and stand in front of him, "So that's where the bruises on your knuckles were from, not the fucking locker?" 

"Yes..." he pulls me into his arms and a frown arises on my face, I'm happy he did it for the right reason but he didn't have to get hurt or hurt Ryan. 

But whatever what's done is done.

"Ho l'inglese ora ma ci vediamo prima di pranzo? [I have English now but will I see you before lunch?]" He asks me while he places a quick kiss on my forehead. 

"Certo, fino ad allora cerca di non picchiare nessuno [of course, till then try not to beat up anyone]" I smirk and let go of him, I glance at him as he rolls his eyes and walks away. 

Maia: bitch, you're late for class, hurry tf up.

I get a text from Maia, and now what used to be slow steps toward my class became a sprint, I ran down the hallway and right into the room. 

Just to see only Maia and Rowan, the damn class wasn't even there yet.

"Ha the bitch fell for it!" Maia hollered as I paced towards her and smacked her over the head for the unnecessary heart palpitation she just caused me. 

"Owie," Maia murmurs as Rowan runs her hand over the spot I hit Maia on, "How is everything with Carter, babe?" Rowan asks me & pulls out a packet of Oreos from her bag.
