Sweet Poison

Sweet Poison (12)

We walked into school. My brother went his way and my sister went hers. My brother had became extremely popular in the few weeks we had been here and my sister had too, but where was I at? I didn't know where I was but I hoped I wasn't at the bottom of the food chain at this school. At my old school I was well-known but I just don't know about this school and it's coming to an end very soon all because my mom thought it would be okay to move  at the end of April instead of at the start of the semester.

I was so caught up in my own thoughts I didn't even hear my name being called.

"Elissa! Elissa!"  A velvety deep voice called. I cringed when I recognized who was calling me.

"Just keep your head down and don't turn around and keep walking, maybe he will get the point",I said under my breath, speeding up my walk. He obviously didn't get the hint because he ran up to me and got in front of me, halting my escape.

 "Why are you ignoring me?" He questioned in an out of breath voice and quickly cleared his throat.

"Leave me alone", I mumbled lowly, moving to get around him.

He glared at me, hurt seemed to flash on his face before it was gone in the next second. Eli grabbed my arm, stopping me. I hated how his warm hand on my skin gave me tingles.

 "What did I do?" He tried to put confusion in his tone like he had no idea what he did, but I could see right through him,

 "You know what you did. . .if you don't then think about it",I hissed bitterly, noting the attention we were getting. Without a word, I scooted to the side and began to walk away.

He appeared right beside me, making me want to let out a frustrated scream. "Listen can you tell me what I did please because I have no clue."

I shook my head, huffing through my nose. "You honestly don't know?" I questioned but he could hear the clear amusement in my tone and knew I was just entertaining him.

His plump lips thinned into a frustrated expression, while he crossed his arms lean muscles bulging. With a flat tone and no amusement on his face, he answered. "I don't."

For a few seconds I just stared at him, wondering if I just made a fool out of myself. I frowned feeling a little sheepish. "You made out with Trish right before you came up to me to dance and then kissed me later on. Oh, and you talked about you guys getting back together",I hissed remembering all the reasons why I was angry at him. It hurt.

Clear confusion crossed his face, before he shook his head annoyed. "No, you have it completely wrong."

"Okay then what really happened", I crossed my arms feeling apprehension crawl over me. Was I making a fool out of myself.

"She kissed me, and yes, we did talk about us getting back together, but she brought it up. I told her I wasn't interested in the aspect of us being together at all, ever again", he explained slowly, looking at me like I would bolt at any second.

Slowly, I shook my head, feeling like all my resolve was falling. "Okay, well then you kissed her and came to dance with me. . .explain that!" He paused and mentally I did a little dance. He wouldn't win this.

"Well as I said she kissed me first. When I came to the party, I was looking for you, but she pulled me aside and then you know what happened after that", he explained. I realized I really couldn't be angry at him because of Trish kissing him first. It was obvious he didn't know she would.

I looked at him unsurely. "Yeah okay. . .I just feel like you're lying I mean why would you not want to go out with one of the most popular girls in school again",I shrugged.

Anger flashed across his face. "Well I'm not lying and sometimes a guy doesn't want to just date the popular girl, sometimes guys don't really care about popularity or what a fucking school hierarchy has to say!" He snapped in a harsh snarl. Without a word, he turned and walked away from me.

I stared at his retreating back, watching the way the girls stared at him in awe as he walked by. He didn't even notice. Jealousy hit me like a tidal wave and the permanent frown I seemed to have on my face today deepened. "Elissa your not talking to Eli plan didn't work and know he is mad at you." I groaned to myself and walked to my locker.
