The Beauty & The Brains

"Are we still going to Spain?" I ask Aya. She's dropping me off at School.

"I don't know, I want to but I don't think Electra is up for it."

"Oh, okay."

I'm kinda bummed because I really wanted to go. When the car stops I get out and close the door.

"Wait, you aren't going to say bye." I walk into the building and make a b-line to the bathroom.

"Hey, whoa, what's wrong?" Eli asks stopping me in the middle of the courtyard. Eli happens to be one of the best football players here. I'm no where near him on the popularity chart. So no one knows we're together, per my request.

"Nothing, can you move please?" I ask looking at my feet. From the looks of it, it looks like he's bullying me or something.

"Can you tell me what's wrong?" He asks again grabbing my bookbag. I grab my bag and walk away from him and as quickly as possible to the bathroom. I lock the door and begin breaking down into sobs.

Elijah's pov

"Who was that?" Joey asks, as i rejoin the group.

"Why?"

"Because she's hot, would love to see under her skirt." I punch him. I have never punched someone but he deserved that.

"Bro what the hell?" He yells. I grab my bag and walk away.

Who dropped her off today.

Not Spencer, only Thursdays when she comes late.

Mr& Mrs. Florea are in texas.

Sebastian is in California.

Aya?

I grab my phone going towards the bathroom and call Aya.

"Hey Eli, what's up?" She asks.

"Is everything okay with Ana? She barely spoke and I can't find her." I say pulling on the bathroom door to find it locked.

"She was upset when she got out but she didn't say about what. I can try and call her."
"No its okay." I grab the key out of the janitor's closet and unlock the door before putting them back and going into the bathroom.

"Thank you for helping her."

"I'm just worried about her." I whisper pushing open the door. She sits on the window sill.

"I found her, I'll call you back later." I whisper. I lock the door again and go over to her.

"Ana"

"Why did he die, I need him here." She sobs into my chest.

"I'm sorry baby, I can't imagine the pain you feel." I kiss her tenderly.

"I want Aaron. I want him back." I rub her back.

"Did you drive here?" I nod.

"Can you take me home after school today. I don't want to go to the Federal building."

"You have to ask Aya."

"I don't want to talk to her right now."

"Okay, I'll ask her later. Have you eaten?"

"I don't have any money. I'm pretty sure I left my wallet in her car."

"C'mon let's go get you some food." I wipe her cheeks and fix her uniform before pressing a kiss to her lips.

"Thank you"

"What for?"

"Taking care of me." I kiss her again.
