Mike.
"So, El, how do you feel?" I asked quietly, and she shrugged.
"I'm ok. I like my new things." She gave me a small smile, and it made me happy.
"Good, I'm glad." I nodded, and it went quiet. She looked bored, so I started talking again. "Look, El, I know this sucks. I'm trying not to let it get to me, but I'm just so sad. I don't want you to leave, but I can't argue with anyone about it. You're leaving and there's nothing I can do about it," I vented, and she just looked at me with sad eyes.
"I want to stay, too. Can't you just...con...convince them?" She struggled a bit, and it made it hurt ten times more than it already did. She wants me to argue and get them to let her stay, but I know they won't budge. My mom is set on this and there's no changing her mind. She just has her mind on lock.
"El, there's no point. My mom won't listen, she never has." I know I sound dramatic, but it's not completely false.
"But you won't try?" She asked in a dull voice, and I looked down in slight shame. She's right.
"The Snowball is next week. Are you excited for that?" I asked, changing the subject. She nodded, giving in to her smile. She can't stay mad at me and I don't know whether to feel happy about that, or just feel sorry.
"I don't know what you do at a Snowball," She spoke sheepishly, and it was adorable.
"You dance, mostly. There's also food there, that's the best part." I gave her a wide smile, and she smiled just as big.
"Dance?" She asked quietly, and I gave her a reassuring glance.
"Don't worry, I'll show you." She nodded in response, and we sat quietly for a while, just enjoying each other's presence. That's when my mom came back, which ruined the moment.
