Another Cliché Love Story

The Project

Dedicated to @Maria_Queen_004 for reading

We arrive back to school and find the police there.

"What the fuck?" Elijah exclaims.

"That bitch." I mutter, think of my mother.

"Eliza!" Beatrice calls, running down the halls.

I met her halfway. "What the fuck is going on?"

"Your teachers emailed your mother and told her you weren't in school." Beatrice chuckles.

"Eliza!" Mother hisses.

I march over to her in rage. How dare she?! What does she think could have happened? She just wants to embarrass me. I know for a fact she isn't a carrying mother, because she never cared! I don't know why, she pretends.

"Mother!" I roar.

Her fists are balled just like mines. Surprisingly, a hand clutches my shoulder. I look back and see Elijah's calm face.

"What?!" I sneer.

"Let me do the talking." He encourages.

"Eliza!" Mother calls.

We walk over to her.

"Mrs. Simms, I am responsible. Eliza and I had to do research on our history project. We got carried away with new materials. I take full responsibility." He tells her.

My jaw hangs open. I forgive him for sleeping with my sister. He's been really great to work with today. Mother takes a deep breath.

"Okay, at least she was with someone responsible." Mother glares at me.

"If it is alright, I wanted to come over and work on the rest of the project with her today."

Mother walks away not giving an answer.

"Oh my gosh, Elijah! You're awesome."

"Says every girls I've ever been with." He smirks.

I shake my head and swat his arm.

"But seriously Princess, don't get used to it. I'm an ass, forever and always."

"I knew that before you ever spoke a word to me."

He chuckles and heads for his bike.

"Where are you going?" I ask.

"To pick up my bae for the day." He smirks before winking at me.

I feel stupid. He made me feel all types of ways and flirted with me, but he has a girlfriend. That is why I will never go with any type of bad boy, ever!

I walk into school with Beatrice and we go to our last class.

My phone buzzes before I can even sit down.

Beatrice: sooo should I be planning a baby shower or nah

I laugh, causing everyone else to look at me. Great, like it's not bad enough my mom got the police on me, now they probably think I'm crazy.

Me: nooo. I kno how to keep my legs closed. Unlike you Beatrice, maybe you should take notes!

Beatrice: haha ur so fucking funny bitch, just wait a little... more sweet talk and our babies will be having play dates.

That's basically how the rest of the period goes.

Me: meet me at my house. Lucius will be there and we can work on our project.
