              I clench my books tightly against my chest.  I speedily walk through the halls. Only one more year of this. I think to myself.  I look at my feet as I walk past him. Hello, for I am Elizabeth Kate York. I'm 19 years young.  I hate Dan Howell with a passion.

      I look over at Dan as we paint in preschool.  " What are you painting Dan?" He looks over at me and giggles.

     " Poop," He laughs really hard. I crack up too. He holds up the picture. 

     " You're silly Dan!" I giggle. The teacher walks over our table.

     " Daniel! Is that poop?" The teacher asks angry. Dan's eyes grow wide. Mrs.Cullen told us not to paint anything naughty. 

     " No," I say. " It's a rock he painted for me." I smile.

     " Oh," Mrs. Cullen smiles at Dan and I. " How nice Daniel." She walks away.

     " Thanks Elizabeth." Dan says relived. " I hate my long name. Would you like a nickname?" 

     " Sure! What do you think it should be?" I smile.

     " Beth?" He asks.

     "  No." I reply, shaking my head.

     " Zabe?" He asks, giggling.

     " That sounds like a boys name!" I giggle. 

     " What about  Ella?" He asks, his brown eyes light up.

     " Yes!" I smile and grab his wrist. " Now let's go outside."

     " Ok Ella!" He giggles as we run out onto the play ground. We play on the jungle gym almost the entire time. We laugh at poop jokes almost the whole time.

    " Oh my god are you ready yet?" I groan from outside his door. " You take more time than a girl!"

    " Don't pressure me El! I will kill you!" He yells from the other side of the door. 

    " We're going to be late for the school carnival!" I giggle through the door. The door swings open with Dan with his shirt off.

    " I don't want to see your nips!" I spin around and put my hands over my eyes.  He laughs. " Is your shirt on yet?" 

    " Yes it's on." He chuckles. I turn to see him ready. We skip down the grand staircase of his house. " BYE MOM! I'M GOING TO THE CARNIVAL!" Dan screams before we shut the door. We walk the short distance to the school. We enter the gate and see The click.

     " OMG!" Rosie scoffs. " Dan the adorable hangs out with Ellie the hobo?!? Who knew!" Here little click laughed at her crappy joke. I run away  I run to a hidden spot by the lake. The sunset on the lake blurs from my tears. Someone taps me on the shoulder.

     " Are you alright Zabe?" He asks. I giggle. 

     " Wh-why d-do th-they ha-have t-to b-be l-like th-that?" I hyperventilate.

      " There just stupid. They can't see how amazing a book is by their cover." Dan smiles, and hugs me.  I've never felt so loved.

        " Get out of my face slut!" My step dad throws a bottle of alcohol at my head. It smashes, cutting my face. I trip up the stairs, crying.  I race to my phone. I dial his number.
