The bell rings through the concrete school, signaling the end of the day. I grab my stuff off my small desk and head out of my classroom. I keep my eyes on the floor as I dodge through the mass of people. I reach my locker and quickly open it. I shove my books in my backpack before throwing it over my shoulder. Just as I reach to grab my coat, the locker door slams shut. I slowly turn around. The perfect face of evil comes into veiw.
"What do you want Carly?" I cringe as her name comes out of my mouth.
She flips her long brown hair over her shoulder before answering.
"Oh Andy, I just wanted to ask what you are doing over Christmas break?" she smiles innocently.
"Why would you want to know?" I ask with a slight hint of aggravation in my tone.
"Well, we heard about the big annoncement with your sister, aren't you going to meet her boyfriend?" she asks in a mocking tone.
I take a double take on her words.
"My sister doesn't have a boyfriend," I say dumbfounded.
"Oh really?" she smirks and holds up her iPhone.
A picture of Eleanor and some guy kissing come up on the screen.
"No, she would tell me if she had a boyfriend. I would be the first one to know," I say back, refusing to believe what I already know is true.
"Well hun, it looks like she forgot about you," Carly smirks before turning to walk away.
I shake my head and turn back to my locker.
Don't let her get to you. El would NEVER forget about you. They just know what gets on your nerves.
I grab my coat out of my locker. I walk out of the school and instantly spot my mom's car waiting for me. I start walking over there, but notice it isn't my mom in the driver's seat. I feel the smile form on my lips as my favorite person steps out of the car. She smiles at me and opens her arms.
"EL!" I yell before runnning to her and capturing her in a gaint bear hug.
"I missed you so much Andy!" she whisper yells in my ear.
We pull away and she wipes the tears off my face.
"A reunion is no time for tears," she giggles before opening the car door for me.
I climb in and buckle up. She climbs in on the other side and starts driving away from the prison we call school. I let my eyes focus on the moving world.
"El?" I ask, almost nervous to ask about what's on my mind.
"Ya?" she asks back with a comforting smile.
"I didn't think you were coming home for break," I say more than ask.
"Well, there is something I have to tell you," she says almost emotionless.
"Ya?" I ask nervously.
"Let's wait until we get home," she smiles.
I nod and look back out the window. A familiar song comes on and El turns it up slightly.
"Do you know this song?" she asks carefully.
"Ya, they only play it all the time," I say.
"So, do you know who sings it?" she bites her lip nervously.
"Yeah, that British group, One Direction?" I ask more than say.
She nods.
"What are your thoughts on them?" she asks.
"Why?" I ask back.
"Just wondering," she shrugs.
"They have good voices but I'm not a huge fan of who they are. I mean, they all seem great, but I would never want to meet them," I shrug.
She bites her lip and stays quiet. We pull into the short drive way of our suburban house. I get out and head straight inside. I open the door and freeze in my tracks. My mom turns to me and smiles. I can't take my eyes off the guy sitting in front of her, smiling at me.
"Andy! You're home! Good!" My mom tries to get a conversation started.
I slowly start to back up, but El stops me.
"Andy, this is Louis. My boyfriend," she smiles.
He waves at me but I just stare at him. El's words repeating in my head. I run straight past HIM and up to my room. I close the door and make sure to lock it before walking to my bed. I fall flat on my face. I hear knocking at my door and Eleanor's voice following it. I ignore her. I grab my iPod and headphones. Luckily, I have noise cancling headphones. I turn on Jar Of Hearts by Christina Perri and close my eyes.
My bed dips at newely added weight. I open one eye and see Eleanor starring at me with a smirk.I take off my headphones and sit up.
"What do you want?" I ask, poison dripping from my voice.
"Why don't you like him? You didn't even give him a chance to talk!" she argues instantly.
"Two reasons. One, you waited to tell me about him instead of telling me ASAP. Two, they were right," I shrug.
"Who was right? And what were they right about?" She quizzes.
"YOU! They were right about YOU! They told me and I didn't believe them because I thought you would tell me, but no they were right. You totally forgot to tell me. Now HE is going to be the center of your life. HE is going to be your happiness. HE is going to be the one you worry about every fricking second of every fricking day!" I raise my voice," And him?! Out of all people you choose a guy in a BOYBAND?! A WORLD FAMOUS boyband, if I might add. I thought we made a deal?! I thought we promised that we wouldn't like what everyone else wants."
She sits there looking at me with shame. She opens her mouth to speak but I stop her.
"Just go, I want to be alone. I'm going to need to get used to it," I say before putting my headphones back on.
