Heart of Dignity

Chapter 3

"Eliot! I need to get going now. Besides, didn't you already say that you were going to class?"
"Yeah .. but .. I lied. I just said that to make our conversation less awkward and because I .. Um —" he said nervously scratching the back of his neck.
"You what Eliot!"
"I just wanted to see you and I think that we've already met before. Did you by any chance remember when we saw each other at the amusement park once. Your mother had some quick errand to complete; and I guess we bumped into each other and went on every ride."
Then it all hit me.
"Eliot Wilson? Oh my god, it really is you."
"I thought there was something familiar about you. It's been what like 3 years since we've last met."
"Yeah" I said sheepishly, remembering the crush I had on him and how my best friend, Lindsey and I used to talk ages about him all day. I've always dreamt of meeting him again.

"I .. I need to go!" I said feeling faintly and nauseous all of a sudden.
I fell down to the ground only to see Eliot becoming a snake. He slithered across my body until he fixed himself around my neck. He started to grip stronger making it hard for me to breathe. No matter how hard I've tried to free myself, it was no use. Then I realized it was just a vision.
The snake vanished to dust, and there was Eliot freaking out. I felt the cool air in my lungs and how it began inflating my whole body.
"Oh Sonny, are you okay? You really scared me; I thought that I was going to lose you." said Eliot. I was very touched at how much he still really cared about me. Maybe we still share the same chemistry as we used to when we were thirteen. Then I remembered that I had to go to the principal's office.
"Here, I'll walk you to the principal's office" said Eliot reaching out his hand reading my mind.
He walked me down the halls until we reached the principal's door.
"Are you sure you're okay with going in alone?"
"Yeah, I'm sure" I said
                           ******
"How'd it go?"
"He just filled me in with the school's policy and all that crap" I said.
"Great! Let's go, you have class!"
"Oh yeah! Totally forgot."
Both of us were very silent.
"Well Madame Adams, I shall await you at lunch where you're ready and well-cooked food be. I believe it's Spinach!"
We both laughed so hard that we had to be shushed be a teacher.
"Boring much!" I said.
"Yeah, that Mrs. James. English teachers .. am I right?"
"I think that I need to get going."
"Sure! See you soon"

I was greeted by Eliot as soon as I stepped in the cafeteria.
"So, how was class?"
"Good I guess! Jeez I'm starving"
Lunch was quite, awkward. We both were very silent. I kept thinking about what happened earlier. My nightmare, my faint, my vision. I was worried, this never happened to me. I didn't know if I should be afraid of not

After school mom picked me up.
"So how was your first day of school Son Hun"
My mom has this wired thing where she calls me Son Hun (short for Sonny Honey)
"It was okay I guess"
I didn't feel like talking any further, so I just put on my headphones and began listening to PANIC! At the disco's playlist. As I nodded my head to the music, mom pulled over and I got out. I opened the door, greeted my father, ran up the stairs, went to my room, took of my shoes, and out of breath I let myself rest on my soft bed. "How I missed you" I muttered to myself, supposedly to the bed.
As I scrolled down Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, tumblr and snapchat, I texted Lindsey.
"Hey Lin! Guess who I saw today. You'll never guess"
"WHO?!"
"Just guess" I said squealing 
"YOU BETTER TELL ME  NOW!!"
"ELIOT WILSON!!"
"Are you kidding me? That guy you've met once in the amusement park and you fell in love with"
"Yeah him! What should I do Lin? My parents don't know that I even met him before"
"I ship you guys so hard"
"Seriously Lin, do you think we'll end up in a relationship?"
"Heck yeah!! He should ask you out"
"Anyways, I need to get going. I have homework :( "
"Ttyl"
"Bye <3" I texted back.

All night I kept thinking about what Lindsey said.
Are we going to end up in a relationship? He seemed very into me. 
I then decided to search his social media. He posted a picture on Facebook captioned with "Today I found my lost princess, can't wait to be her prince soon!"
I guess my prince found me
I locked my phone and went to bed.
I found my prince ...
