ALISON

Thank you he said as he place his right hand on mine, Eric just finished telling me that his elder sister died to protect him,no one's ever told me it wasn't my fault he said,she was always the better child and my parents never failed to make me remember that. Eric d- before i could finish the sentence Eric suddenly put his hand on my waist and pushed me to the other side i almost fell so I held his hand, ARE YOU CRAZY he shouted I didn't understand what was going on but I didn't care, I just hope he doesn't hear the sound of my heart beating, I felt like it was going to explode we were so close, Are you okay he asked but i couldn't speak so I only nodded my head.

Alison what are you doing I said in my mind I wanted to leave him but I couldn't, ALISON MILLER GET IT TOGETHER Then finally I was able to let go of his hand  and he let go of my waist. I'm going home i said as i started walking, Wait I'll walk you home he said as he started running to catch my pace. I'll walk you he said again, No no need what will you girlfriend say if she see's you walking me home it suddenly left my mouth before I could stop it. GIRLFRIEND? He asked as he stood infront of me, ohh is it what I said in the orphanage?  Nothing i said as i started walking faster.

I DON'T HAVE A GIRLFRIEND, he shouted enough so that I could hear me , I smiled at him saying that but I couldn't let him know that I was smiling I DON'T CARE I shouted back. He started running to me , let me walk you home he said, Okay but don't talk to me.

We're here, i said after we walked for five minutes, you can leave I said as I quickly walked to my door step.

Ellie, he said as i opened her door.  See you tomorrow. I smiled and felt butterflies in my stomach but i didn't answer him as I  quickly closed my door.

As soon as the door was closed I quickly fell down to the floor and smiled what was happening to me.

Suddenly someone turned on the light I looked up to see my mom standing in front of me, I screamed.
Mom I said as I was catching my breath, you scared me. Who was he she said, I looked up to see my mom in her office clothes I was an exact carbon copy of her blonde hair, blue eyes, tall and always serious.

Who? The boy that I saw outside with you, who was he, why didn't you not invite him to the house mom one question at a time. Sorry darling I just wanted to know you've never brought a guy home so I thought maybe his your, his not his just a classmate and... maybe a friend.

Your in your twenties darling my mom said and you have never had a boyfriend, you're always studying and at this point I myself am worried for you. You don't need to be,mom I'm fine and trust me when I have one you'll be the first to know.

Mom smiled then hugged me, I love you and just know I'm always proud of you don't push yourself too hard and just have fun enjoy your youth. I will mom I will. And mom I said as I stopped walking, I was in the middle of the stairs case I turned to look at her, mom i love you too.

I entered my room then locked to door I laid on my bed looking at the ceiling, I couldn't help but remember my moments with Eric today and Suddenly I started smiling, maybe he isn't as bad as I thought.

THE NEXT DAY

IT was Thursday which means it was time for us to get our results, and like I said as always I'll get first place.

I entered the class to see eric talking to the teacher, he looked at me then I looked at him, hi I said to him smiling hi he replied but didn't smile. I felt like he wasn't happy seeing me but I shrugged it.
Okay class sit down, you guys are going to get your results today the teacher started calling names but I didn't care I could just focused on who was close to me.

Alison Elizabeth miller the teacher called my name, normal i would be to embarrass to hear him call my middle name but I didn't care, you got 98 out of 100 .
Ninety what? I said, sir are you sure?do you think I lied he said , no I don't think that maybe you just made a mistake.

Geez girl you still have the highest mark why are you so pressed out, one of my classmates said, she was right I still have the highest note which means I'm still first so I shouldn't be so sad.

Eric young you got 100 out of 100 . What that's impossible I said in my brain , I was about to have a mental break down for the first time in my life I didn't get first position, I turned to eric who was smiling he gave me a piece of paper saying "told you".
After class I was the first person to leave I needed to get out of here, ellie ellie I heard eric shouting, my heart wanted to me to stop maybe he wanted to tell me that's it's all right and it was just a revision test I shouldn't care.

Ellie he called again, I stopped and turned to him , I was smiling because deep down I was happy for him, you forgot something he said then brought out my test paper and gave me. While giving me he came close to my hear and whispered, so that you can use it as a poster knowing that thier's always someone better than you, I wanted to cry not because he got first place but because this wasn't the same eric that I talked to yesterday, this wasn't the same eric who walked me home again, maybe I imaging it but I couldn't stay here I couldn't let him see me cry.

Thank you, I said as I took the paper and Left, I needed to get out of her quickly.
