ella:)

i'm currently in school, in my first period english class, trying to finish my essay i've been working hard on. english was that one subject i was actually good in, i mean i can be good in other stuff i just have to try really hard. i was so busy writing down the conclusion paragraph of my essay i didn't even hear the sound of someone entering the room.

"class, listen up. we have a new student here with us today, Tom tell us about yourself." my teacher says, a huge smile plastered on her face. i could tell this so called Tom was nervous. he had brown hair with bright pretty blue eyes that i could see perfect since i sit in the front row.

"uh well i'm Tom i just moved here from New York because my dad got s new job, but um i play hockey and that's all there really is about me." he says smiling nervously.

"hmm a hockey boy." i whisper , smirking to myself knowing i can definitely be friends with him.

"go ahead and take a seat next toooooo.." she says looking around the classroom for an empty seat "'next to ella, she's a dear. she'll help you out. is that ok ella?" she asks sweetly. i nod my head looking up from my paper.

"of course ill help." i smile at my teacher and the boy. i could almost feel adams glare from the back of the room, i mean all i'm trying to do is make a new friend. Tom smiles and sits next to me. he looks over at me and smiles.

"hey i'm ella!" i say holding my hand out for him to shake. he smiles and shakes my hand.

"hey" he says shyly.

"so you play hockey." i say picking up my pen and continue writing my essay.

"yeah i'm going to be trying out for the team here."he says pulling out a book and pen from his bag.

"that's cool, i guess we will be playing together." i say smiling.

"you play hockey?" he asks shocked.

"of course i do!" i smile over at him as i write. the final bell rings signaling class was about to begin.

"oh my god! you're ella conway! i remember you now!" he says in shock. i laugh at him.

"didn't know i was that well known." i say laughing a bit as he still freaks out. he smiles.

"of course your well known, your such an amazing player i don't even know how i didn't recognize you!" he explains. i blush a bit.

"thanks." i smile at him. he then calms down and smiles back as the teacher begins teaching.

i met a new friend, what a great way to start the day.

"are you and banks still dating? i shipped you guys hardcore man." Tom asks as we walk out of the school doors, making our way to the hockey rink for practice. i laugh at his question but answer it.

"yeah, we're still together." i smile down at my feet. the sound of his name makes me incredibly happy.

"how have you been?" Tom asks. i could tell he was nervous about asking that question just by the way his voice sounded. and i also knew exactly what he meant.

"i'm doing great to be honest! for the first time ever i'm actually so happy to be back in school, and i'm also able to play hockey again. all fixed up." i say patting the spot on my stomach where i have my stitches from being stabbed. he smiles and laughs lightly.

"i admire how strong you are. if any of that happened to me , i wouldn't be up and moving like you are." he says opening the door and letting me through the doors. i smile and nod my head as a thanks and make my way towards the locker room.

"thanks, i guess i'm determined." i say as we laugh. i hear the sound of someone's throat being cleared. i turn my head to see adam standing by the door of the locker room next to two other varsity players. adams two new good friends, i don't really like them. they constantly give us crap and make the ducks feel horrible. and half the time all the varsity boys do is flirt with the girls i am close with, and believe me , is disgusting.

"oh hey adam." i say happily as i stand on my tippy toes to kiss his cheek.

"hey babe." he says, saying babe a little too loud. i give him a confused look but quickly drop it.

"this is tom, he's trying out today!" i say happily as i clap my hands.

"yeah i know. you know i was in the back of the room when he told us about himself." adam says smiling at me but then glares at tom. tom looks extremely nervous so i give him a reassuring look to let him know that i got this.

"oh yeah! anyways we gotta go, we have practice. ill see you after practice!" i say pecking him on the lips. but as soon as i pull away, adam pulls me closer and kisses me again. he deepens the kiss by pulling me even closer if that was even possible at this point. we both back away, catching our breathes. i could hear the two varsity players whispering and snickering at us from behind.

"what was that for?" i ask confused.

"what? am i now allowed to kiss my girlfriend?" he says , still not taking his hands off my waist. i smile and quickly give him a hug.

"ill see you after practice. come on tom." i say gesturing for him to come with me as we walk into the locker room. once the door is shut and adam and the two players begin to finally walk away, i speak up.

"that was extremely weird. he never asks like that!" i say out loud, for the whole team to hear.

"maybe he's jealous of the new guy. hockey player, good looking, and you guys seem to be friends!" charlie says from across the room.

"how do you even know what happened?" i ask with my hands on my hips. "and me and tom are good friends."

"the girls were watching and squealing at the whole thing!" averman says looking over at connie , julie, and ava. who were all giggling as they changed. i laugh and roll my eyes.

"but still he's been acting different ever since he made varsity and it's so annoying." i say sitting down on a bench. charlie comes over and wraps an arm around my shoulders.

"he'll come around, i promise." charlie smiles at me , reassuring me that i'll be ok. i smile at him but on the inside, i can't help but think about the change in adam. how the hell do i fix this?
