As you should know this is my past, I will be writing about it to update you to my present time, If I don't do this than many of you will be confused.

Every morning E and I would wait at the bus stop together in silence, we sat on the bus in silence, he listened to whatever was playing in his headphones and I would sit and draw in my drawing book.

I didn't mind the silence I felt like this friendship didn't need words.

E and I turned out to be in the same classes so we sat together, I guess we were the outcasts, me being the new kid and well I hadn't a clue why E was one.

People tripped us, spat spit balls and other immature stuff grade eights do. I didn't mind as long as I had E besides me I was happy.

I had drawn Elliot a few times over those few weeks, he was interesting, and his features were perfect to draw. I was always scared that he would catch me staring at him while I drew, I didn't want him to know that I was drawing him.

Sometimes I thought he knew but then I'd shake those thoughts out of my head, I was just paranoid.

Well that's what I thought.

One night we got a invitation to Elliot's house, Elliot's mother had put together a welcome to Australia party for us and had invited some of her friends, mother and father had fun making new friends I was happy to see them enjoying themselves. Elliot's mother had sent me and Elliot to the games room so the adults could talk, i dont know why we where sent away we weren't being of any bother, Elliot was listening to his music as always and I was sitting in a corner drawing, but I guess the presence of us was to much for Elliot's parents.

"Do you wanna play some video games?" I looked up from my sketchbook surprised to see it was Elliot whom had spoke, I hadn't heard his voice since he told me his name. I nodded yes as I was in to much shock to talk and got up to join him on the couch to play the game he had chosen.

I was sad when it was time to go it had been extremely fun hanging with Elliot we had played plenty of games but my favourite was when we versed in Mario cart, I had won causing Elliot to high five me, honestly at the time I thought he would have been angry that he lost to a girl but he was happy like really happy.

"Alexis that was amazing well done, lets play again." He had said after he high fived me, I honestly thought my face was going to break from how big my smile was at the time.

I think Elliot finally saw me as a friend at that moment and I was extremely happy about it. That night I had gone to bed with a huge goofy grin on my face.

"Maybe tomorrow he will talk to me on the bus?" With that thought in mind i went to sleep.
