The Love of High School

Chapter 6

Hey everyone, I'm back, so I have some things to say first before you read.
1. You didn't end the story, you just abandoned it. There are so many loose threads you could have continued on. This is like the original Xena just giving up after Lyceus was killed and never doing anything else significant in her life. I can see you quitting if your creative inspiration has simply dried up, but don't call it an ending. Reviewed by 41 Cyg
a. You have the right to have an opinion but this really upset me because I didn't abandoned it, first of all, life got to me and one of those things is that I lost a sister. So please don't just assume I quit, gave up, or abandoned this story. I can tell you that I plan on continuing writing this and having huge plans.
2. I am so so sorry that I haven't done any updates in a long while.
3. I just want to say also that I would like if I had a lot more reviews, I'm glad that you really like it and enjoy it, but please tell me what you didn't like or what do you want to see that's happened.
Character list:
​Ella – Gabrielle
​Peter – Perdicus
​Carmen – Xena


Chapter 6
Ella's POV

Friday, August 28, 2016

My alarm just went off letting me know it's time to get up and get ready for school. I still feel so fatigued, but what else is new, I love to sleep. I'm tired because Peter and I went on a date last night and he didn't drop me off at home until midnight. The date was decent, we saw Pixels, even though we spent the time talking and making out in the backseats of the theater. I spend my time getting dressed while thinking about Peter, what we did, and what was said. The next thing I did was put on my makeup at my makeup station.

Shortly after I was done with my makeup, I headed downstairs and went into the kitchen to make breakfast. I pulled out the Coca Puffs and made myself a bowl. When I sat down at the table and started eating, I looked on social media on my iPhone 6. As usual I didn't see anything interesting. After I was done eating, I went to my bathroom, across from my room, to do my hygiene.

Next, I heard honking outside letting me know Peter was here. So, I grabbed my school stuff, heading out and locking the house, and going to his truck. He was standing by the passenger side holding the door open for me.

I kissed him hello, "Hi babe."

"Hi sweetie," he said lovingly. I honestly really like it when he calls me that.

He takes my hand and helps me into the truck, "Thanks honey," I said.

"No problem, sweetie," he says and closes my door.

He then walks around, gets in the driver's side, and we're off to school.

Four and a half hours later

It's now Chemistry time, throughout the day has been really boring. I've just been working hard to get things done. I see Peter during passing period at my locker. We just talk, kiss, or hug, yeah its nice.

After the tardy bell rings, the teacher announces that she paired us up in groups and we will be doing a lab. I don't mind it as long as I like them and they're not annoying. The teacher starts reading some names. Then, she gets to a girl named Carmen and I find out I'm her partner. Two things come to mind a) I like her name but b) I don't know who that is.

After she gets done listing everyone's partners, she starts explaining the lab, and what we are going to be doing. The idea of the lab is to work with the mass (g) of all the elements and see what happens. Wednesday we had our full class period lecture to work with Avogadro's number that deals with converting grams into moles or whatever (atoms, ions, particles, or molecules). After she's done talking, everyone goes to sit with their partners along with their stuff. I decide to make my way over to a lonely girl in the back of the room, who I assume is Carmen. When she notices me making my way over to her, she seems to be freaking out. I wonder why, but I just ignore it. Then realization suddenly hits me, this is the girl I had several classes with last year and she is the girl that watches me cheer.

"Hey," I say nicely.

"H-Hey, how did you know who I was?" she asks nervously.

"We had classes together last year and I notice you watching us girls at our cheerleading practice." I reply while smiling at her, I sit down and get comfortable. I then notice that she's blushing but I don't think anything of it. "So, would you like to start now?" I asked.

All she does is nod her head up and down.

We started working on the pre-lab questions, it's pretty easy. We just had to do the conversations we learned about. After we get done with that, we move onto the procedure. We followed the directions adding however many drops or milliliters to a substance, but after some moments in sitting in silence I start talking to her again.

"So your name's Carmen, I notice you at my practices,"

"Yes," she says.

I stop what I'm doing and look at her in the eye while she stares at me back. "I'm just curious, why do you watch our cheerleading practice?"

"Um, well...I...I like-" she stutters before my phone makes its presence known.

I pull it out and see it's from Peter, "Oh, I'm sorry, it's my boyfriend checking up on me."

"Boyfriend?" She asks sadly. I quickly look up and stare at her concerned. I don't know what's going on, she looks to be on the verge of tears and hurt. She takes her eyes off of me. I just frown because I actually didn't want to see her upset.

"Yeah, um, my boyfriend, Peter," She said sadly.

At that moment I saw all the tears come down and in the next she grabs her stuff and runs out of the classroom.

The next thought that comes to mind was that I need to find out what happened, I need to talk to her. After class I went looking for her at her locker, where I usually see her there, only to see that she wasn't there, so I guess she went home. 


I hope you liked it!
