Ellie's POV:
I woke up Monday morning tired and bruised from paint balling yesterday.
I moaned while getting out of bed and heading towards the bathroom. I brushed my tangled hair and brushed my teeth. I hopped in the shower and washed myself. I hummed along to the song "Hold Tight" by Justin Bieber. Which was stuck in my head since it was released last night. I got out of the shower and dried myself. I changed into a plain white t-shirt and threw on a purple jacket. I put on my grey jean shorts and my white vans and added a purple snapback with the words "Belieber" on it.
I don't know why I felt like putting on my Justin Bieber outfit but it felt right.
I grabbed my backpack and jogged down the stairs. I found my sister sitting at the kitchen table eat french toast. I remembered that she works today. "Have fun at work" I told her while grabbing a pudding cup from the fridge. "Thanks" she gave me a 'weirdo' smile. I did the same and we both laugh. The great thing about having a older sister is she understands. I sat down next to her eating my pudding. She got waffles out and toasted them. When they finished she gave them to me so I will eat more. I was way to lazy to make my own.
"Thanks" I told her while shoving a fork-full of waffles in my mouth.
When I was done I walked out the door, down the street, and to my bus stop. I saw that Ciara was waiting there.
Yes, she does live in the same neighborhood as me and I do not like that.
"I hear you went in a date with Joel" Ciara quoted date. I froze in my tracks. "How did you find out?" I asked her as I realized what she said.
She shrugged. "Oh nothing, you know Joel told me" I stood there, looking into the distance. I didn't know how to respond to that.
I put in my earbuds just so that I do not hear her say anything else. Why would Joel tell her?
***
When our bus pulled up to the school building I quickly shoved my earbuds into my pocket and scurried out the bus, with the rest of the kids.
I found my way to Joel and embraced him in a hug for a few seconds. I didn't know if Ciara was lying not so I had to ask. "Did you tell Ciara about yesterday?" I asked him. He shook his head. "Of course not, it's our little secret" He winked at me while shoving his books into his locker. I blushed.
I saw Reed a few feet away from us and I remembered how he stared at Ciara the other night of the incident.
He probably told her. I thought to myself.
Reed was walking in our direction. I didn't know what to do. Either to leave or stand there. I reacted fast and left towards my locker. Reed didn't react at all as I past by him. I felt so stupid for liking him. As I got to my locker I grabbed my Spanish book and headed toward first period. Coincidently, Reed was also in that class. I sighed as I thought of him.
I sat at my desk, in the back and took out my sketchbook. I started sketching something until I saw a shadow and a hand throw my book on the floor. I glared at the girl in front of me as I went to grab it, but another shadow picked it up.
"Who is this?" Ciara asked observing my work. "None of your business" I said as I saw Reed walking in. "Is this...." Liana look over for Reed to my book then back at Reed with a smirk on her face. I got up and tried taking the book out of Ciara's hands. She fought back and the sketchbook hit me on the chin. I ignored it, even though it hurts. I didn't realize that Liana had left until I saw Reed get up and walk towards me, followed by Liana. I felt like the world was spinning again. "Oh god" I said under my breath" Ciara laughed while heading towards him, stopping him in his tracks. He had the sketchbook in his hands observing my work. I didn't wait another second, I fleed.
I grabbed my backpack and went inside the girls bathroom. I opened one of the stalls and walked inside before locking the stall door. I sat in the corner, crying, my face buried between my knees. I heard footstep, which I assumed came from another girl who came to fix her hair or makeup.
"Ellie" I heard a familiar voice say. I quickly stood up from the dirty bathroom floor and brushed myself off. I opened the bathroom door and found Reed standing in front of me. He had the sketchbook in his hands. "Did you draw this?" He asked me. I nodded. He smiled.
That made me feel better.
He hugged me and I hugged him back. "I like this drawing" He said looking at it again. I smiled. "Really, I didn't think I was that good of a drawer" I informed him. He shook his head. "No, it's great" He said taking out his phone. He took a picture of the drawing and started typing something. "There" He smiled, showing me what he typed.
It was on Twitter and it read: This drawing I have seen so far👌 @Big_JerryBieber
I laughed to myself. "Thanks" I told him. He shrugged and smiled, putting his phone back into his pocket. "Oh yeah and I forgot to tell you..." He said, smirking. "Nice name" he added. I laughed along with him. "Yeah, it's something special" I chocked, trying to catch my breath.
A teacher walked in on us and found Reed standing there. "You" she pointed at Reed. He smiled. "Yes?" He asked smirking. "Get out of the girls bathroom" she spoke, strictly. Reed followed out the the bathroom after handing me the book.
I smiled to myself in the mirror, thinking about Reed.
