One bet, One love

Chapter 3

  *Eleanor's pov*

  After the school finished, finally, i went home. I saw that my mom wasn't anywhere. I remember how she said that today she has work. I changed into my comfortable clothes and started looking for something to eat.
  But then, i found.... tacos? ("It's raining tacos~ From out of the sky~". I'm sorry, but I had to write that... Anyways. Back to the story.)
  ~Tacos? Since when? Wait, there's a note on the table...~ i told myself.
  I picked the note up and it said "Hi, honey! I had to go to work earlier than i expected. Before than, i made bought the ingredients to make taco. Hope you like them! -mom".
  - Well... i guess im eating tacos today...
  I started eating them. I was surprised.   My mom doesn't usually make tacos, but these... these are some great tacos.
  After lunch, i went to my room. I wasn't feeling like doing my homework rn, so stayed on the internet. After some time, i fell asleep. I don't know how much time i slept, but when i woke up, it was almost evening.
  ~Oh, gosh! How much i slept? WHAT? 3 HOURS? But how? I've put an alarm...Oh, i forgot to put it on... i feel so stupid~ i told myself.
  I went to my bag. I took out the notebooks from the subjects i knew i had homework to do.
  I only did some of my homework, because the rest i didn't knew how to do it.
  I went downstairs to see if my mom came home. Andddd... yeah. She was on the couch watching TV. She saw me and said:
  - Oh, hey! I see that you're up! Did you eat lunch? she asked me.
  - Yeah. But since when you're home? I asked.
  - Like 2 hours, she said calmly.
  - But why didn't you wake me up? i asked again.
  - You were sleeping so peacefully. And i didn't want to interrupt your dream. Btw, how was school? Did you make any friends? she asked curiously.
  - It was ok. And yeah, I've made one.
  - That's great! Im proud of you!
  We then spent the rest of the evening talking and watching TV. Some hours later i went to bed.

  *The next day*

  *She woke up and got ready for school. After eating her breakfast, Eleanor went to school*

  - Hey! Wait up!
  It was James.
  - Uhh... Hey i guess.
  - So, how are you? he asked not in a cold voice.
  He was acting nice, and i thought that he changed and wanted to be friends. I felt for some reason happy.
  - Im good. You? i asked kinda awkwardly.
  - Great! Thanks for asking. Anyways, what's your opinion on this school? James asked.
  - It's not a bad school. And the teachers aren't as bad as i thought. The students are also nice, i said calmly.
  - That's great to hear! But, can i ask why you moved to this school? Was the other one so bad that you had to leave? he asked.
  That was a question no one has asked me, but i had the answer for it:
  - It's not that. My mom gound a better job and we moved from there. So she enrolled me into this school, i answered.
  - Interesting... Well, i hope you'll like it here.

  *After they enter the school together. They go to find their class, and James shows Eleanor a bit of the school*

  - Hey, Ellie! How are you today?
  That voice caught my attention. It was Ashley's.
  - Oh hey, girl! Im good. Thanks! What abt you?
  - Oh Im alright. Oh, um, hi James.
  - Hey!
  - Anyways, uhm, let's go to class...   Ashley said, looking at me questionable.
  When we entered and James went to talk to his best friend, Blake, Ashley turned to me.
  - Uhm, sooo... what was that? You 2 started walking and talking together?   Ashley looked confused.
  - Oh, he just caught up to me when i was walking to school. And we just started talking. He seems nice. This time, he wasn't rude at all! Can you belive it? I said.
  - Uhmm... i don't know. I still don't trust him. He might just play a stupid game of his.

  *The bell rang *

  - Oh, let's go to our seats, Ashley said.
  But her words were stuck in my mind.   Play a game? What did she mean?   Maybe I'll find out later....
