Pirouette

Chapter Twenty Eight // Soggy Cereal

- Ella's POV -

I still had some make up smeared across my face from last nights events as I walked down the old wooden stairs to the dining hall, it was empty. Everybody was either dead somewhere from all the alcohol or still drunk.

I walked over to the usual table I sit at and threw myself down before putting my head on the table. There was a tap on my shoulder a minute later and I looked up to see Kim, she was glowing.

"Where the hell have you been misses?!?!" I said while smirking, she rolled her eyes and sat down beside me.

"Did you kiss? Did you make out? Did you have sex!!!" I shouted, Kim hit me playfully as the cooks gave us the evil eyes.

"We d-didn't have sex but yes we kissed.. Outside the club" She said with a sigh. Why is that a bad thing?

"Dude, Hayden is obsessed with you it's clearly obvious. Do you like him too? When's the wedding?-"

"ELLA STOP!" Kim screamed which made her voice echo around the empty dinner hall. The cook hushed us angrily.

"Why're you so upset about getting a boy? Hayden is the nicest first year in the academy let's be real.." I explained. Kim had her head down in shame and she looked like she was going to cry.

"I d-don't fall in love as quickly as others do, I have to have a real deep connection with someone before I feel love and if he likes me then I'm g-going to break his heart and I really don't want to.." She said before bursting into tears, I was really confused..

"What do you mean?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm d-demisexual" Kim whispered. This was an eye opener to me, I didn't think there were so many different types of sexualities. I hugged her tightly and smiled.

"Well if you do get those feelings in time.. He'll be a lucky guy" I said before squeezing her cheeks, she laughed slightly.

Everyone began to enter the dining room and Kim sat down on the seat beside me, I hope Hayden is okay with her being demisexual.. If he gets mad at her I'll be having words.

- Hayden's POV -

I felt amazing today with a slight hangover headache. Last night me and Kim headed to a local bar instead of staying at the club, we chatted all night about our families and why we were at the academy. I really like her..

I entered the dining hall and spotted Ella and Kim sitting on their usual table, the place was pretty crowded.

I grabbed a cereal and headed over to the table they were sat at.

"Hey guys" I said with a smile, Kim looked up at me nervously and Ella smiled.

"How was your night Ella?" I asked while pouring the milk into my cereal bowl.

"Shit. Alison was sick so I had to come back early" She huffed.

"Where is she?" I said as I looked around the room for Alison, Ella shrugged her shoulders and continued to eat her toast.

Kim was being awfully quiet, she had her head down.

"Kim?" I whispered while Ella was talking to Cody, she looked up at me.

"Are you alright?" I asked while biting my lip.

"Of c-course" Kim said with a smile before getting up from the table and leaving the dining hall. Ella watched her and then stared at me.

"Did I do something?" I asked Ella nervously, she sighed.

"I have no idea"
