Bully To A Lover

Part 6

                    *Elle's P.O.V.*

As soon as I saw that the guy I had been dancing with was Ethan my breath hitched.

"I'm sorry." I said before running off to Lily.

"Lily, let's go. I'm done here." I said pulling her.

"What? Why? You  looked like you were really clicking with that guy." She replied.

"Yeah, that was until he took of the mask and Ethan's face popped up." I answered.

Her jaw dropped. I looked back and saw Will walking towards me.

"Alright, let's go." Lily replied.

I had to hold up some of the material on my dress to make sure I didn't trip over it.

Lily pulled me outside and to the side of the building.

We stood still as Ethan ran out. He stood there looking around to see if he could see anyone and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Damnit!" He yelled causing me and Lily to jump.

He sat on the ground against the building. "Damnit." He said again loudly.

Lily and I took our heels off, only made lily almost fell.

We heard Ethan shuffle around and he darted away from the building to Lily's car.

"Hurry, Lily. Go." I said.

She put her keys in the engine and the car didn't start up at first, but then the engine roared.

She quickly backed up and drove away. I looked in the side mirror and saw he ran into the middle of the parking lot as Lily turned down the street.

"Why did you do that?" She asked.

"Because. I don't want him to know that it was me." I replied taking my mask off.

"Is he really into you? You guys seemed to get along so well." She asked.

"We did. We were getting along fine. I just want to go home." I answered.

"Do you want to get something to eat? She asked.

"No. I don't want someone to see me." I said. I replied.

"That was fun though."

" You know, running from him. I feel like we were running from the cops."

Lily said making me laugh.

"Yeah, it was really fun." I replied sarcastically.

"You have to tell him it is you tomorrow Elle." She said

"No way. I can't do that." I answered.

"Because that's embarrassing. And besides he doesn't want to be seen with me anyway." I added.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

                  *Ethan's P.O.V.*

The next day at school everyone talked about how amazing the dance was. All I could think about was the girl I danced with.

I didn't see Elle there last night when she said she would be.

She would occasionally look at me and that would be when I would catch myself staring at her and look away. I saw her getting books for the next class and I decided to walk up to her.

"Why didn't you go to the dance last night?" I asked.

"I did go." She replied simply.

"Then why I don't see you there Elle?" I asked.

"Maybe you don't really look closely I guess." She replied but she wouldn't bother to make an eye contact with me.

"I looked everywhere Elle." I answered.

"Maybe you looked, but you don't really see where I was. I could've been right in front of you." She replied.

She started to make me go crazy when she wouldn't look at me in the eyes.

"Hey baby, look at me." I said softly.

She froze.

"Why? You don't want people to see us having an actual conversation, do you?" She asked.

"I just want you to look at me baby." I said softly.

She looked up at me and our eyes met. I knew I had seen those eyes last night when I danced with that girl.

"You really went to the dance?" I asked again.

"Yes. I do." She replied.

"Do you wear a mask?" I asked.

She nodded.

"Everyone did." She said.

"What color was your dress?" I asked.

"Why are you asking me all these questions?" She asked nervously.

"What color was it?" I asked.

"Black." She replied.

"Was your mask the same color?" I asked to know the detail.

She sighed.

"I don't remember." She replied.

"Yeah, you do." I said.

I leaned over her and pressed my hand against the lockers.

"Tell me." I said.

She looked up at me.

"Why?" She asked.

"Just tell me, please." I pleaded.

"Gold. It was gold." She replied

. I knew she was lying.

"God damnit,Elle. Don't lie to me." I snapped.

"Will, I'm not." She answered.

"Yes you are."

" Your eyes. I saw them last night."

"I would remember them anywhere. I would recognize your beautiful eyes."

I replied.

"What color was your mask?" I asked again.

"Gold." She answered quietly.

I slammed my hand against the locker.

"Tell me what it was!" I stared down at her lips and leaned closer.

"Ethan, don't do this." She stuttered shaking her head.

I softly kissed her lips.

"Just tell me. Please." I begged one more time before I kissed her again.

"Please." I said.

She pushed away from me and ran off.
