JOSHUA X PENELOPE 😍

CHAPTER ELEVEN...elation

hi y'all! sorry i'm sick and have been super busy, but i finally have the motivation to write. yay!!

penelope's pov:

i finally went to school on tuesday, and it was crazy?? like hello??? what????

i had people flocking around me asking me all sorts of wild questions.

"have you talked to joshua lately?"

"do you know what happened with him and stephanie?"

"where have you been?"

being honest, i liked the attention. 

wasn't something i usually got...

i didn't know how to answer, until a boy in a football uniform approached me on my way to my locker, after the crowd disappeared.

"hey, I'm a friend of joshua's. you're...penelope, right?"

i looked up. he was slightly taller than me, with dark freckled skin and long dreads. his big blue eyes sparkled in the sunlight.

"yep! that's me." I replied, in my usual quirky fashion.

"cool! i'm mason. he wanted me to deliver a message to you." he reached into his pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper, handing it to me as he smiled and ran off.

i unfolded it and tried my best to read his messy boy handwriting.

penelopee,

im sorry. you don't deaserve what i did to you. no lehtter can make it write. 

can you forgibe me?

-J.

that made...

no sense.

due to the spelling errors, of course, but...

still...

i understood what he was trying to say... i think... heh....

i slammed my locker shut and pulled out my phone out as i began to walk to class when suddenly, it was ripped from my hand.

i looked up and...

oh no.

it was...

a super senior.

"give me my phone back!" i shouted in his ugly face.

"where my hug at?" he said back.

"what!?" i backed up as he extended his arms.

"can i walk you to class?" he asked again.

"get away from me!" i lurched for my phone and knocked it out of his hand.

i swooped under his arm, picked up my phone and made a run for it.

i booked it down the hallway, avoiding every clique and teacher, just focusing on making it to class before the bell rung.

i looked behind me, and all of a sudden i slammed into a muscular wall.

joshua.

"penelope?" he said wistfully.

"joshy." i said, a sob suddenly filling my voice.

we collapsed into eachother, the world melting away in his embrace.

i looked up at him, my eyes shimmering in the light.

"i'm s-sorry," i whimpered. "i'm q-q-q-quirky, it's just how i am!"

"no, don't be." he cradled my head and pulled me back to him.

the bell rung.

i didn't care.

joshua, was my new world.

and i was ready to commit to it.

sigh....
