When people ask me, do you have friends? I'm just like um do I know you or... but then I got a huge schedule change. HUGE, but I was excited I got into a photography class. where I, later on, met my best friend.
"Okay, class, you will be assigned partners, for your quarter project." my new teacher explained. "Elle with Renna, Noah with Brendon, and Jake with Celest. Now get into your groups and talk about what you want your project to be on. Good luck!" he said to us while walking back to his desk. I searched for 'Renna' and found her sitting in the opposite back corner of me. She had short brown hair with purple streaks, ripped jeans, a black shirt paired with a jacket, and a beanie (the same one that I was wearing), with big blue eyes. I walked over to her and we sat in silence for about twenty minutes, so I put in my headphones to drown out the silence.
"Um, I guess we should start this project or whatever." she said carelessly.
"Okay. I guess. So, uh. Um. What do you uh, want the pro-project to uh, b-be o-on?" I said while stuttering more than usual.
"Um, is there something wrong with you like, mentally or something?" she said glaring at me.
"U-uh..... No, I ju-just ha-have a-a stut-stuttering prob-problem." I said, my eyes welling up with tears.
"Well, it's really obnoxious, and annoying so you need to figure it out." she practically yelled at me.
"Um........" I sprinted out of the classroom after nearly slapping her, and started to hear footsteps from behind me. Noah was running after me, "Are you okay Elle? I saw how she, uh, she pumbled you. she just got sent to the principles office." he kept staring at me longingly.
"Um, uh, th-than-thanks." I bursted out into tears and fell to the ground, feeling lifeless.
Noah came down and hugged me tightly. "Shh, you're okay, it's okay," he said calming. "Here, come with me." he said while helping me to my feet.
"Where are we going?" I said, not feeling like getting up to walk.
"You'll see it'll make you feel better. Do you trust me?" he said as he stopped in his tracks, to look at me. "You're so beautiful." he said then realizing what he had just said. We walked to the library, towards a door in the back. He opened the door and, started to attempt at picking a lock to a door the read ROOF ACCESS.
"God damn it!" he said frustrated. I started laughing profusely.
"Wow, you couldn't figure this out if your life depended on it." I said while trying not to start crying.
I took two hairpins out of my hair and pulled them apart, and easily picked it open.
"Bam," I said happily. I swung the door open and laughed a little, and then walked out.
"So... What is the life of Elle Evergreen like?" he asked me while slumping over the edge.
"Well, I have a little sister, and um I uh, I have two pa-parents that um that fight a-all th-the time and uh, I get decent gr-gra-grades in school. Um, wha-what else," I said "Um, I'm diagnosed with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and insomnia. I've never had a boyfriend-"
"Wait, you've never had a boyfriend? I don't believe you." he said shocked.
"Why not?" I questioned Noah.
"I mean, look at you." He said to me "And how did you know how to pick a lock?"
"I've had my time in juvie." I said proudly, and then of course he walked out. While I sat on the roof I waited for someone. Anyone to walk out and talk to me. And then, he did. Nick.
"Aye Lily."
