(Ella's P.O.V.)
Andrew was quiet the whole ride to the school which made me nervous. He parked the car in the high schools parking lot, and turned the car off. We both got out, and it was still quiet. Andrew grabs my hand when he gets to me, and I look at him. He didn't look back he just squeezed my hand tightly only to loosen his grip. I have to say it kinda hurt.
We walk inside and see people flooding the lobby. I let go of Andrews hand only to have him grab it again. I look at him, but he still doesn't look at me just gave me a smile. I was starting to feel my anger rise. I pull my hand away from Andrew, and he finally looks at me. I look down at the ground then hear someone call my name.
"Ella!" I hear my (second) best friend yell excitedly at me. I look up to see someone that I didn't expect to see.
"Annabelle?" She gives me a hug, and I'm a little delayed to give her one. "What are you doing here?" Annabelle moved to California in our freshman year, and ever since we've been talking on the phone.
"My parents moved back here!" She yells excitedly at me. We both scream in excitement. It caused people to look but we didn't care.
"No way." I say trying to sound as calm as possible. (I at least tried. It didn't work.)
"Yeah way." She says now in a normal voice.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I wanted it to be a surprise." I scoff at her in a playful way, and she laughs, I laugh with her then look at her eyes. They were a nice dark blue color. It was a shame though. They never showed any type of emotion. It was okay though because you could tell what her emotion was through her voice, and the way she acts.
"Alright I'm gonna go hangout with my friends over there. I'll see you second block." Andrew says looking like he felt awkward.
"Okay." I kiss Andrew, and he walks away.
"Ooh. You're dating probably the hottest boy in our school?"
"That would be the case." I look at Annabelle, and she smiles. "What's your schedule?"
"Oh my schedule is... Here. You can look at it." I take the small rectangular piece of paper from Annabelle and look at it. "Bad news we don't have every class together." I tell her.
"And the good news?"
"We have musical education together. That's it." I give her the piece of paper, and she looses her smile.
"Oh." She looks at the paper, and I feel kinda bad.
"That's the last block you know. So we can walk out of the school together."
"We could. And..." The bell rings before Annabelle can finish her sentence, and I laugh a little.
"I'll see you some time today alright?"
"Okay. Bye La la." She says before walking away. Don't mind the la la one. She calls me that because I sing a lot.
"Bye Belle." I say walking away. I turn around to look at her to see that she walked over to a cute boy for help. Figures. I turn away from her, and continue to walk laughing at her. I turn the corner only to crash into someone. I didn't fall because the person I bumped into had grabbed my hand and pulled me back up. I stand there shocked for a second then clear my throat, and back away.
"Good reflexes." Is all I can say. "Thank you for catching me before I fell. Um. Bye." I try to walk away without having to make eye contact, but the person grabs my arm, and turns me around so that I can face them.
