Consequences Of Actions

Chapter 13: You like him, he likes you!

[Eleanor]

The moment we stepped inside of the classroom and all eyes turned to us, I wanted nothing more than the ground to open up and swallow me whole and save me from that embarrassment. At least I knew Mia was in the class, but I didn't dare to look up at all.

I mean, they had every right to be shocked. I, a nobody, had come into the class with the king of the school who was my main bully a week ago. What hell Lara will create for me because of appearing with her boyfriend what beyond my imagination. I just hoped Chris can stay on his words and protect me against her.

"Okay, sit down, both of you." said the teacher and that was all I need before I rushed and sat on my usual seat beside Mia which was thankfully empty. Now I could see her. Her eyes were squinted from both anger and shock.

"You will explain everything after class, missy." she hissed in my ear as I sat down and I nodded before the two of us turned to the board again. I tried to concentrate on what the teacher was saying. Keyword: tried.

All through the class, I could feel a pair of eyes drilling into the back of my head. I knew it was Chris. He and Chase were the only ones behind us. I didn't turn to him at all, afraid of all of the eyes that still were glancing at me curiously from time to time.

Maybe it was a wrong idea to come into the class with Chris, but I wanted to. He looked so hurt when I told him to go in first and somehow it hurt my heart as well. Plus, I don't know what you may call it, but I had an odd urge to be seen with him.

Maybe I wanted to prove to everyone that he was not my bully anymore and we were friends now, so maybe others stop looking down at me as well. The whole class, I tried to calm down my thumbing heart that was beating hard in my ribcage, not being able to concentrate at all.

A minute before the bell rang, Mia began to shove our stuff in our bags, and right as the bell blared, she grabbed my hand and yanked me off of my seat, dragging me outside.

"Mia! God! slow down." I squeaked, trying not to trip over my own feet.

But Mia ignored me and pressed her phone to her ear. "Ethan, meet me in that empty classroom you took Ella and me the day she quit school" she said sternly and end her call after.

Soon we were in the classroom where we met the last time and Mia shoved me inside. Ethan who was already there and was pacing around franticly looked up sharply and his mouth hang open upon seeing me.

"Hello, Ethan." I waved shyly and smiled.

"Okay, now that we are all here." said Mia and squinted her eyes again. "Will you mind telling us how the fuck you came back to school with that douchebag, looking like a couple in love?"

"What??!!" asked Ethan more confused and looked between me and Mia. "Who is the douchebag?"

"Chris fucking Harrington!" yelled Mia and threw her arms in the air.

Ethan turned back to me, his eyes looking even wider from behind his glasses. "What is she talking about, Ella?" he asked. "You came with Harrington?"

"YES!!" exclaimed Mia. "And God, you should have seen his face when he would glance at her. He was giving the vibes of a protective boyfriend."

"Okay! Okay!" I said a bit loud and raised my palms in front of my two friends, stopping their wild assumptions. "Sit down. It's a long story. I will tell you everything."

So, the three nerds we are, skipped the next class and didn't mind as well. Ethan and Mia were staring at me with wide eyes and their mouths a bit ajar as I told them everything. Thankfully, Ethan had told Mia about the night that Chris had lashed out at me in front of the club, so I just started from yesterday morning in the hospital, till an hour ago when we appeared together.
