My Gladiator Family

Chapter 15

 ~FEW DAYS LATER~

~ELLEN'S P.O.V.~

 I woke up, and Sam was still asleep, so I sneaked out to go to the small grocery store next to the dorm building. I bought carrots, pancake mix, whipped cream, and honey. For my sweet Sam..

W-wait.. do I like him?! I CAN'T like him, it's too much right now!! I DON'T WANT TO BE HURT..

I'm 14, I shouldn't be depressed. My heart started feeling like a thousand pounds again.. a thousand pounds of heartache and pain..

 I bought the items and went to the dorm. Sam was still asleep, so I began making his carrot pancakes. Not too long after, I set the finished breakfast on a plate and went to the bathroom. I closed the door so Sam couldn't see. I pulled out a hidden pill bottle of anti-depressants. I washed a pill down with water, and when I came out the bathroom, Sam was scarfing down his pancakes. I giggled, and he raised a thumbs-up. He got whipped cream on his nose, so I grabbed a paper towel and wiped it off. I laughed and he turned a deep crimson red. We laughed a bit, and I got a group message text from the other girls.

(E-Ellen Br-Brittany O-Orchid C-Caramel B-Blue)

O-Girls day!! Who's up for it???

B-Totally!!

C-Sure, lemme get ready

Br-Yup just give me a sec

E-Awesome!!

O-MK so meet up in lounge!!

 After a few minutes, I went down to the lounge and saw everyone there. I met up with them, and we decided to go to the mall. "The boys got jealous, so they're all hanging out together too!" Brittany said. It's nice to hear her being nice to us, I guess we finally became good friends. "Dom and Taurtis?? Hanging out??" Blue asked. "Ya, that's probably not a good idea.." I said. "Can you explain something to me, why do they hate each other?" Blue asked. Everyone turned to me to know why they don't like each other. "Um, Dom kind of used to bully me and Taurtis, it's fine between me and Dom, but Taurtis still just doesn't like him.." Blue nodded slowly, and we all looked at each other. "Ok, to the mall it is!" Orchid said. We walked to the mall, and we went to the mall cafeteria. We ate some sushi, made jokes with our food, and laughed. Caramel almost choked on a piece of sushi and cried, so I patted her back and she stood still, scared, like Jennifer when Blue tried to get her.

(Blue-HEY!!!!! Ellen-UH... SORRY!!!! Blue-Run girl.. RUN!!!! Ellen-AHHHHH!!!!!! *dashes off*)

 "So, what else you guys want to do?" I asked. They started thinking, and we decided to go to the park. We got there and started playing games with a ball, tossing it back and forth. It hit Caramel on the head, and she surprisingly laughed instead of crying. We laughed with her, and we helped her up. "We're all great friends!" Brittany said. We all laughed and nodded in agreement. "Ok, so what next? Movie?" Blue offered. "Is it gonna be horror??" Caramel asked, eyes widened. "Pfft, NO!!" I yelled, I'm not watching another horror movie!! "Scaredy cat- uh.. Scaredy girls!!" Orchid joked. Blue blushed lightly, and we laughed. "Let's go!" Brittany said. When we got there, we looked at the available movies to watch, and decided on Mall Cop 2. We laughed at all the cheesy jokes Paul Blart made, and we had so much fun. It was the best time I ever had with them. We ate some supper at the Sushi Wushi, which Caramel wasn't happy about, but it was either that or McDonalds. We made some more jokes and laughed some more, and went to our dorms. Sam was there, reading a manga. "Did you girls have fun?" he asked. I laughed and nodded.

"Didn't feel.. depressed.. at all with them?"

"W-what??"

He pulled out the bottle of anti-depressants pills.
