Ellie's POV
"Wake Up Elina!" I heard my mom scream from downstairs. I sighed. I look at my phone. 7:00 am. An hour to get ready. Great! I go to my mirror and look at myself. I usually take off my makeup before I go to sleep but I was way too tired yesterday. My makeup was smudged and all over my face. My eyes were sore from all of my crying. I went to my bathroom and washed my face. I took a shower and got dressed. I wore my favorite pair of black ripped skinny jeans, a black tank top with a dark pink crop top over it, a pink leather jacket, and some knee-high boots. I checked myself in the mirror and then put on my usual makeup look, red lipstick and eyeliner. I grabbed my bookbag and noticed something in it. It was a full beer bottle. "Holy shit" I said to myself. I must have packed it by accident while rushing out of the house yesterday. I quickly stuffed it as far down as I could into my bag and left my room. I approached the door but then I was interrupted by my mother's voice. "Elina! Can you come in the kitchen please?" I sighed. "Coming mom!" I yelled. I walked into the kitchen to see a familiar face. "Ricky?!" I exclaimed. "Sweetie, Ricky here offered to drive you to school. Isn't that nice?" My mother said. "Yeah...um since you are my tutor...thought I might help you out....and it's freezing outside so I...er I mean...your mother wouldn't want you walking in the cold." Ricky quickly stuttered his words. I gave both of them a confused look. "Um ok yeah I'll go." I said. My mother smiled and Ricky and I walked towards the door. "Bye sweetheart! See you soon!" My mother said. She's very cheerful today. I waved goodbye and went outside. Ricky led me to his car and opened the door for me. "Ladies first." He said. "I can do it myself but thanks." I rolled my eyes. "Ok whatever you say, Elina" He mocked. I sat down and he started his car. "Oh by the way, I picked something up by accident when i was leaving the house." I said while grabbing the bottle out of my bag. "Oh sweet!" Ricky exclaimed. He opened the bottle and took a swig. "Ricky!" I grabbed the bottle form his hand and threw it out the window. "WHAT THE FUCK!" He slapped my arm. "Sorry it's just too early for that shit. And you're driving! I don't wanna die." I said. "Sorry, I can be so stupid sometimes." He said. I sighed and looked out the window as he continued to drive. "I have a question." I asked Ricky. "What's up?" He responded. "How did you even get my address?" I asked, scared of his answer. "Your mom called me and gave me your address just in case we couldn't study at my place." He said "Of course she would do that." I sighed. "How did you get my mom's number?" I asked another question. "Full of questions today." He joked. "Just answer me." I demanded. "She gave it to me at a meeting for this whole tutoring thing. It's a long story. Our parents have been planning this for a long time." "Of course they have!" I yelled and sighed. It fell silent again. "Shit!" Ricky exclaimed. "What?" I asked. I directed his eyes towards my feet. "What happened" I said still confused. A few moments later, I hear a noise that sounds like spilling liquids. I looked down to see a warm beer spilling onto my shoes. "RICKY!" I yelled. "AH SHIT WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?" Ricky yelled back at me. "PULL OVER!" He followed my direction and grabbed a sweater from the back of his car. "Here. Wipe your shoes with this." I look at him. "Are you sure?" I questioned. "Yeah it's Balz so I don't care." He laughed. I became wiping my shoes but the beer completely ruined them. "Fuck Ricky! What am I gonna do?" I questioned. "Um...." He sat in thought. "Oh I got it." He got out of the car and came back with a box. "Here wear these." He opened the box to reveal a pair of laced black boots. "Omg...why do you have these?" I laughed. "Oh. They were for my girlfriend Jessica. I guess they're yours now..." Ricky said. "Oh you don't have to..." He stopped me "But I want to. It was my fault that you have beer all over your shoes so...." He drifted off. I reluctantly took the shoes and put them on. We continued to drive to school. It was silent until I said,"So....you have a girlfriend?" "Are you surprised?" He said. "Very." I blurted out. He laughed slightly. He looked at me quickly. "What about you?" He asked. "What about me?" I questioned. "Do you have a boyfriend?" He said. "Nope...I'm too busy focusing on other things." I said looking out the window. "That's what all single people say." He joked. I laughed.
-------time skip to school------
"See you after school." Ricky waved as we parted ways to our first period classes. "Bye!" I waved back. I looked at my schedule. History. Great. I went to class and sat in the back of the classroom like I usually did. History class was boring. Like usual. I sat there doodling little hearts boarders around the edges of my pages. Soon enough, the bell rang. I looked at my schedule. I wanted to know when I had math. Fuck. It was the last period of the day. Great. I went to my next class, wishing for school to end.
--------time skip to math class-------
I walked into math class and made my way to my regular seat, looking down at a butterfly I was drawing. I sat down. Then I felt someone touch me. I turned to see Ricky smiling. "Hi." I said quickly and continued to draw. "Am I just not important to you anymore?" Ricky joked. I ignored him and turned to a clean page in my notebook. The teacher spoke and asked me a few questions but I was kind of out of it. I was tired and bored. All of a sudden, the bell rang. It felt like the period just started but apparently not. As I made my way to the door, Ricky following close behind me, the teacher called me. "Ellie!" He yelled. "Yes sir?" I came towards his desk. "How was your first night being a tutor?" He questioned. I turned to Ricky and he shrugged. "It was fine sir" I said. "That's good. That's all I wanted to know, have a good day." He dismissed us. Then, me and Ricky jumped into the car and drove to his house.
