fifteen.

The next day at school, everything went back to how it was the week before. Connor and I weren't arguing with each other as much, and Ellie even spoke to me in homeroom. Sure, she only spoke to me to tell me how stupid I was, but it was a start. The only thing different was that everybody was talking about Connor and I, about how we had a date last night. It was weird having most of your high school know your personal business, but that's just the small price to pay I guess.

When I got to lunch, I awkwardly went over to my usual table where Ellie decided to sit at today. I set my tray down, and almost immediately she started going off.

"How stupid can a person be? Why the hell did you go out with him last night, you're supposed to be the smart one."

I sighed while sitting, "Go on, let it all out."

"I mean, come on Elizabeth. You deserve so much better than that, someone who won't hurt your feelings after a week. I agreed to go out with him because I saw the opportunity to get back at him, not to let him move onto my best friend. He's going to break your heart, and I don't want to see that."

Connor sat beside me, leaning his shoulder into mine playfully. "It's great to know you care about her that much, but I'm not going to break her heart."

Ellie glared at him, stabbing her vegetables. "You better hope not, or I'll break your balls, Owens." I rolled my eyes, giving Connor a quick smile before eating my food.

"Now, I want the truth. Did you two already sleep together?" Connor and I both shook our heads calmly, continuing to eat our food.

Ellie squinted her eyes, "Seriously? I swear to god Elizabeth, if you're lying to me, I will murder you in your sleep tonight."

Connor laughed out loud, "You're very violent today, and she's not lying to you. She stopped us before we could go very far, which I'm glad she did. We're going to take it slow."

Ellie snorted, "Like that's possible for you."

Connor frowned, "Do you know how rude you are?"

Ellie smirked, her voice laced with sarcasm, "You know how much I hate you?"

Connor sighed, standing up with his tray. "I'll see you later, Elizabeth."

As he was walking around the end of the table we were sitting at, Ellie decided it'd be funny to catapult some of her food at him. He gave her no attention, but just kept walking.

I looked at her, my face full of disbelief. "You're fucking kidding me, right?"

Ellie gave a small shrug, eating her food as innocently as possible. I groaned, taking care of my tray and following Connor. I saw him walking towards the boys bathroom, so I yelled out his name to get his attention.

He turned around, smiling a bit as he saw me. "Hey, I'm sorry about her."

He waved it off, "I figured it'd happen soon enough. It's all good, you shouldn't have to apologize for her childish behavior."

I shrugged, "Well, are you okay?"

He nodded his head, letting out a small chuckle, "Besides some ranch dressing on my shirt, I'm going to live."

I gently took his hand in mine, intertwining our fingers, "Let me help you with that."

I led him into the bathroom, grabbing some paper towels and wetting them. "You're not supposed to be in here, Elizabeth."

I shrugged, dabbing at his shirt, "It's not like I've never been in a guy's bathroom before. Plus, I feel like this is kind of my fault." Connor's hand covered mine, pulling it away from his shirt. He took the paper towel away from me,
