"Ella!"
"Laila!"
"Ella!"
"What?"
"Ella!"
"What!?"
"Ell-"
"WHAT!!?"
"Hai."
"Ugh!"
Laila tackled Ella with a hug.
Ella is a part Indian girl with long jet black hair, and tan skin. She has dark brown eyes and a perfect smile. She isn't too thin, or too thick. She is perfect.
Laila is a mostly European girl with long blonde hair, with black dyed ends. She has slightly pail skin and dark hazel green eyes that ever so slightly change color with the seasons. She has the kind of smile that is slightly crooked and makes you think she is up to no good, which is usually correct. She isn't thin, but she isn't fat or thick either.
They both hate dresses and skirts and pictures and makeup. They hate roller coasters that spin you upside down and sideways. They both love music and skateboards. Although Laila is more of a longboard girl. They love to travel and go places that have cool sights and food. Yeah. They both love food.
They've also been through a lot of sh*t together. Mostly small dramatic stuff. Like getting put on the log ride with three strangers and having Laila straddle one from behind and having Ella straddle Laila. Then getting completely soaked together after fighting over whose dumb idea this was. (It was Ella's by the way.)Then laughing at their other friends who got on the ride after them.
Yeah. Dumb stuff like that.
But today was a good normal day. Hopefully. Yesterday someone fell off the stage in orchestra and then someone fell on top of them and they both had to go to the nurse. But the best was when Ella started laughing. And couldn't stop. For her life. And that caused Laila to start laughing with no end in sight. They were both sent into the hallway to calm down. But when the teacher went to get them she found them both on the ground in tears. Still laughing at each other.
So far today was good. No ones fallen. Yet. *wink wink*
The two were in the auditorium. Not for class. But for lessons. They had gotten there earlier than everyone else and were waiting.
They got there violins out and started to tune.
"Laila!" Ella whined.
"What?"
"Your messing me up!"
"Ok. Good."
"Noooooo. Go over there."
Ella gestures towards the other side of the auditorium and Laila looked over lazily.
"Noooo."
"Pleaseeee?"
"Fine! I hate you though..." Laila slowly shuffled across the room.
"Thanks! Love you!" Laila made some non English noises and started talking in sign language. Probably mean comments but Ella didn't know sign. Only Laila. But Ella knew she was silently laughing.
Moments later she returned and stood silently behind her best friend.
"Ella..." Ella jumped and spun only to be nose to nose with Laila.
Laila suddenly regretted everything that made her want to scare her friend. Only because the close contact had her all fidgety and her stomach explode with butterfly's. She didn't know why. But it's happened for awhile. Every time they touched or made eye contact, Laila died inside.
Ella looked into her best friends eyes and really wanted to hug her for some reason. Or maybe kiss her. What? She has for awhile. Every time they get close Ella just wanted to grab her and pull her closer. Whyyyy? She didn't know so don't ask.
"Haha. Uh. Gotcha." Laila smiled.
"Yeah." Ella looked away with much struggle.
"Hey guys!" A new voice interrupted. It was Daniel followed by Tracie, Kaitlin, Sierra, Jessica, and Michael. Aka all violinists except Michael plays the bass. They were the rest of the lesson group.
The lesson finally started.
~~~~~~
After the lesson, everyone left. Except Laila and Ella. They usually stay and clear the stage off. Because they have lessons after school and clearing the stage makes it easier for the janitors to clean. That and they like staying after. It makes them miss the late busses so they can walk home. It's a really long walk but they never care.
After they cleared the stage they went to grab their stuff but Ella raced ahead and grabbed Laila's bag along with her own. She then ran.
"Hey!"
"Mine!"
"Ella, give it back!"
Laila chased Ella around the school for a good ten minutes before she finally caught her. Laila grabbed Ella's arm and turned her around fast. At the sudden feeling of fire in her arm (the good kind) Ella had dropped the bags, and they slid a good five feet. Laila was still in slight motion when Ella stopped short causing Laila to trip on Ella's feet. This caused Laila to fall forward slightly and grab onto Ella tighter. As Laila tried to catch her balance Ella's feet slipped and she fell causing the person holding onto her to fall on top of her. Yeah. This is where the wink wink thing comes in.
Both girls started to laugh until they noticed the position they had gotten themselves in. Ella was laying down, legs sprawled and arms above her head. Laila was on all fours right on top of her with her hair cascading over her shoulders and right above Ella's face.
"O-oh... Sorry. I uh." Ella stammered feeling her face heat up.
"No no. Um. My bad. Uh. I should... Uh I should get up. Right. Yeah." Laila sat back on her legs and Ella sat up, straightening her legs.
Neither attempted to move any farther. Suddenly Ella's face seemed to be right infront of Laila and she couldn't help herself. Laila grabbed the back of Ella's neck with one hand and put the other on her stomach. She pulled Ella in and pushed her lips to Ella's. Ella didn't move. She didn't resist, or accept. She just froze. Laila pulled away and stood quick.
"Oh... Sorry." Laila walked over to her bag as Ella slowly got up. "I'll. Um. I should call my brother. He can um. Pick me up."
Ella slowly turned around and stared at Laila. Both of their faces were beat red. Ella was flustered and Laila was embarrassed.
Ella finally got a clue as to what was happening and swiftly walked towards Laila who was trying desperately to unlock her phone. Ella put her hand over Laila's and used the other to make Laila face her.
Ella pushed her lips to Laila's. Laila dropped her phone and wrapped one arm around Ella's neck, the other hand pushed its way into her hair. Ella pulled the hand that was on Laila's face down to her neck and wrapped the other around her waist.
When they pulled apart they just stared at each other. Then, they both started to giggle.
"So."
"Yeah."
"Ice cream?"
"Definitely."
The End
