"He is sensible and so incredible,"
I spent the next few days laying in bed, listening to my playlist. This side of paradise, canyon moon, all too well ten minute version and back to december, just some of my favourites. I observed different movie posters I'd collected, situated around my room. I love movies, they make you feel things, they bring people together and let me escape my world and go into someone else's. All I could think about was Louis. Our moment in the car, I couldn't forget. Gosh, I hate Louis. But there's something about him, something which keeps reeling me back in. God what he's doing is so wrong. What about Lulu, his girlfriend? This wasn't right, and me letting him get so close to kissing me wasn't either. No matter how bad I wanted him to kiss me, I just couldn't. I needed a distraction. A distraction from what was going on with me and Louis. I heard my phone ring. I wandered over to where my phone was charging, and saw 'mills' ringing.
"Millie, hi, what's up?"
"Y/N, you're coming to school tomorrow right?"
"Yeah, of course. Why?"
"New kid alert," I heard her chuckle.
"My year, or yours?
"Yours, you'll meet him tomorrow,"
"Him?"
"Yeah, found him on pinterest. It was pretty hard ngl, this guy seems like pretty introverted, lol good luck at our school"
"Haha, he could be rly nice, you never know Ms snoopy. i'll see you tomorrow"
"Hey I'm just cuRiOuS. bye Y/N!"
Kind of exciting. Wandsworth needs a bit more flavour, we haven't had a new kid for nearly three years. Guess I'll meet him tomorrow.

It was the next day, and I was getting ready for school. I pinned my hair up with a hair claw, threw on my uniform, and accessorised with some rings and a necklace. I packed my water bottle, books, laptop, pencil case, and some tuckshop money since I forgot to make my lunch this morning and slept through my alarm. It was raining out, I love the rain. However, today is not that day, I'm not willing to walk to school through a thunderstorm, luckily mum offered a lift. I took it without hesitating.
In the car, we discussed music, school, and the news. "There's a new kid coming to school today, apparently," I told mum. "Wandsworth hasn't had a new kid in ages, this is exciting!" She grinned. Eh, kind of. "Kinda," I replied.
10 minutes pass, and I make it to school. I make my way to the library, but as I'm headed to my usual seat, I notice a boy I hadn't seen sitting there before. "Hey, that's a great book, I finished it just last week actually," I state. He looks up from his book. "The perks of being a wallflower? You've read it?"
"Heck yeah, it's great isn't it?" I said, He smiled.
"Yeah, it is. Don't spoil!" He said jokingly.
"Don't worry, I won't. There's nothing I hate more than someone spoiling a book!" He chuckled,
"I KNOW RIGHT!"
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Y/N," I responded. "Also, you're sitting in my seat," I laughed. "You can sit here if you'd like?? He offered. It's fine, I have to head to class. See you round. Wait- before I forget, what's your name again?"
"Eli," he replied simply.
"Cool, see you round Eli!"
Eli was in my maths and chemistry class, and I invited him to sit next to me in both the two classes. We made small talk, mostly about music taste, books, favourite movies, a basic briefing on eachother. I found out that Eli was born in Canada, and moved to London two years ago. Those two years he was attending a school in Barnes. His mum's French, his dad's Canadian, and he has a younger brother. As we were finishing up our conversation, the final bell rang which ended class. "You get the bus?" Eli asked. "Yup, not the school one though, the public one. School ones don't go my route," I said. "Oh, I get the school bus. Guess I'll see you tomorrow!" I waved goodbye and made my way to the bus stop. As I was seated on the bus, I started texting 'mills' about the new kid.

I arrived at home, finished up some homework and joined my family. "So Y/N, any updates in your life?" Dad asked. "Not much," I replied. "How was the new kid at school today?" Mum asked. Oh, she remembered that. "Yeah, he was good. His name is Eli, I spoke to him a bit." I responded. "Him? How sweet!" Mum nudged dad. "Y/N's got a boyfriend" my younger brother, aiden, chirped. "ooh lala," he continued. "Shut. Up. I barely even know him." I rolled my eyes in annoyance, put my plate in the dishwashers and skulked to my room. Younger siblings sometimes suck. I whipped out my phone, and was greeted to two missed texts.

hey Y/N, it's eli by the way

just wondering if we had any chemistry homework.
I smiled at my screen. I don't know if it's wrong to be smiling since Louis and I just broke whatever we had, but I'm glad I can move on since it's clear Louis can.. maybe not this soon?
I responded to Eli by talking about what the homework was and whether or not he finished it in class.
eli
Thanks so much, Y/N!!

I like Eli, as a friend of course!
2 months went by, Eli and I became closer, and Millie, Louis and I drifted apart. I don't know where Louis and I's relationship stands. I see him every now and then, if we are not in the hustle and bustle of the hallways, he looks as though he wants to say something, but doesnt, sometimes that's because Lulu comes by or his friends do, or just walks off. But I don't really care. Things with Eli and I are great, we just click so well. Everyone in school is starting to notice this.
When we walk through the corridors people look, almost as if we were a couple. Which we are NOT. Though the weirdest looks are from Louis, he almost rolls his eyes if he sees me and Eli. What an idiot. I know basically everything about Eli and Eli knows basically everything about me including what went down with everything from the disastrous dinner to the park meet up, but not the almost kiss, I thought about telling him but for some reason i didn't, that's one thing I think will remain between just Louis and I. That was OUR moment, no one else's, it should stay that way.
I don't really know what Eli thinks of Louis.
