A few days later....
"We're dating."
Malcom told us, as he laced his fingers with Ellery's. "What?!" I was shocked, and a little jealous. I used to have a crush on Malcom in eighth grade, but then I started dating Ryan. "Why are you so surprised, Ally? Aren't you happy?" Ellery asked me, confused. "Of course I'm happy for you guys! Congrats!" I say, and hug both of them, as Brooke walked towards us. "What the fuck is going on, you guys?" I shook my head.
"Ellery and Malcom are dating." I tell her, as her face glows up, and she walks over to hug the both of them. I continue to eat my burger, as I watch Ellery and Malcom, as Malcom whispered something in her ear, and Ellery laughing then he kissed her cheek. I grimaced. Brooke nudged me, and lowered her voice so only I could hear. "Sst. Are you jealous?" she asked me. My face went red with embarrassment. "No, where did that come from?" she gave me a knowing smile.
"Um, Maybe because you don't look like you're actually happy." I shook my head. "No I am happy, It's just that...." I sigh as I brush the sentence.
"Just...Just what?" she prompted.
"It's just that I got reminded of Ryan and me....you know? The memories are what hurts most." Brooke gives me an apologetic smile. "I know, It's okay to feel that way sometimes. Ryan did hurt you in a terrible way." she smiled reassuringly. I nod, and smiled back at her, as we turned to Ellery and Malcom. "Eh, so are you guys planning to go on a date?" I ask, changing the subject, as Ellery shrugged. "I don't know yet. Maybe some other time." Malcom gave her a look.
"Well, I guess the boss has said it." He teased, though his tone was serious. "Mal, let's go to the library." Ellery says, standing up from the chair, as he stood up, as they still had their fingers laced. "See you guys later." Ellery said, smiling as I watch them walk away.
Ellery and Malcom's POV:
In the library, Ellery sat down to read a book, and Malcom smirked. "Babe, are you seriously going to read a book whilst I'm here?" He teased her, and she rolled her eyes, and closed her book. "Well what do you want us to do then?" she asked. Malcom leaned closer, until their lips were nearly touching. "Well, I have a few ideas how we could spend our time." he suggested, his voice low and husky. Before she could reply, he held both her hands in his, and pinned her against the wall, his hand going under her thigh.
Ellery looked up at him, her face flushed. "Now do you understand what I was talking about Babe?" He smirked naughtily. "Malcom, w-we're i-in a-a l-library." She stuttered, which made Malcom lean his face even closer to hers. "I don't care." he simply replied, as he crashed his lips onto hers, in a passionate kiss. As they kissed, Ellery wrapped her legs around Malcom's waist, and her arms around his neck, as her fingers played with his hair at the back. Malcom put his hand on the back of her head, as he deepened the kiss.
After a few moments, they broke the kiss, and Malcom rested his forehead against Ellery's laughing. "Well that was amazing." Ellery laughed at him. "It was." she smiled as he kissed her cheek, and then her nose.
Aaliyah's POV:
As I was walking through the halls, I had my books in my hand, and I was using my phone at the same time, until I bumped into someone, and all my books fell onto the floor. I look up to see who I had clashed with, and Great. It was Zak Flores. Could this day get any worse. "Look where you're going, Princess." He looks at me with a devilish smirk on his handsome face. I roll my eyes. "You look where you're going, Zak." I say, annoyed. "You're the one who bumped into me." I added, as he just smirked at me, not bothering to help me pick my books up.
"You coming to the party, Princess?" He asked, ignoring my questions. I furrowed my brow. "What party?" I ask him, confused. "Didn't you hear about it? Your ex boyfriend is doing a party at his house with his new girlfriend. I heard he cheated on you. What a shame." He cooed, and I pushed him against the wall, grabbing his collar. "Don't you dare say that again, you hear me?" I say, dangerously angry, and I watch him to see him just smirking at me. "You're cute when you're angry, Princess."
He teases, and I let go of him as his girlfriend Arianna walks towards him. "What's going on here?" She asks, as he kisses her cheek. "Nothing, Babe. Mute Bitch just forgot to apologize to me." He says, and drapes his arm around her shoulder, and walks away. I clench my fists as I watched him walk away. The audacity this fucking asshole has. I think to myself, as I quickly pick up my books, and walk towards my car as it is the end of the day.
-----------------------------
Ellery and Malcom both sat on my bed, and Brooke sat on my arm chair, and I sat on my desk chair. "So he just basically insulted you in front of his girlfriend?" Brooke questioned, as I had told them the whole story with my encounter with Zak. "Yep. He even reminded me that Ryan had cheated on me." I say, my voice quiet and sadness lingered in it. "That fucking asshole." Malcom muttered, and Ellery laughed. "What's so funny, Babe?" He asked her, raising an eyebrow at her.
"Oh Nothing." she said, and kissed his cheek. I smile at their affection. "Are you guys going to the party tonight?" I ask, changing the subject. "Of course we are." Brooke, Malcom and Ellery replied in unison. "I'll be going to. I just really need a break from everything that's been happening lately." I say, sighing. "Alright then, that's great." Brooke says, and she opens her phone, and screamed. "What the fuck happened?" I ask her. "Zak and Arianna......They Broke up." She reads out, and I smile. "Are you serious?" Brooke wiggles her brows at me. "Why are you so happy?" She asks me. "I'm not. I'm just surprised, that's all."
