"So that's it? You just went all rebel?" Lonny asks her friend. Elisse just nodded but went back to admiring the sleeves of her sweater.
"Well shit. I didn't know you could move on too fast." Elisse looked up from her sleeve with her eyebrows furrowed.
"Lon, I never said I moved on from Jaeden." Just the sound of his name makes her heart ache not even when Finn had the chance to mend it.
"Seems like it, E. You seemed so happy with Finn the other night that it's like you completely forgot that you and your fucking boyfriend broke up." Elisse's heart was starting to raise. Why is she like this?
"Lonny, can you calm down for a second?"
"Fuck no! Elisse how can you be so fucking stupid! Incase you forgot, Finn bullied you! That little shit turned your life to hell! And now all of a sudden you took the chance to have a date with Wolfhard? How careless can you be?!"
It's not like I didn't know that, Lonny
"Lon-"
"No, I can't do this right now. I can't have two stupid girls in my life."
Two?
Lonny dropped her tray before leaving Elisse alone. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes as she watches her best friend storm off while harshly bumping into some peoples shoulder. Elisse then got out of her seat and tried to follow her.
She was already wiping her tears with the back of her hand when she bumped into a person.
"Elisse?" She removed her hands from her eyes and stared at the person in front of her. Everything else seemed to stop as the only thing she can see are the eyes of her ex lover.
"J-jaeden?" Jaedens cheek blushed at her words. Why is my baby crying?
"A-are you o-okay?" (Bill Denbrough who?)
"Don't say yes, I know you're not okay." Jaeden says as he gently caresses her arm.
"It's just Lonny... We got into a small fight. That's all." She sniffed and Jaeden once again couldn't bare to see his best friend crying.
There was a problem. He couldn't hold her. He couldn't hold her like he used to. If he did, he would fall for her all over again even if he still loves her. He couldn't talk to her the way he did before. He couldn't do anything. Cause if he tried, things would just never stay the same again. Every move would lead to him daydreaming about her everyday, waiting for her touch, waiting for her love. He doesn't want that anymore. He accepts the fact that he's no good for her and that he'll just leave her after everything they've had.
"I-I-'ll talk to you later... Nice seeing you again.." with that he walked right pass her leaving her completely confused and heart. Her heart ached in pain as she thought Jaeden would have the time to listen to her but no, he obviously didn't.
The bell rang and Elisse wiped her tears and headed to class not even bothering that she bumped into her classmates multiple times.
She just sat at her usual seat and sat their looking at her hands. She was fiddling with her fingers. A habit she tends to do when she's very anxious.
Finn walked in the classroom and the first thing he sees is Elisse slouched on her sit completely dazed and bothered.
What happened?
The seat next to Elisse was taken so he had to take a seat two chairs behind her. It hurt his heart that he couldn't be near her at the time where she needed him the most.
All he did during class was raise himself a little just to check up on the girl and sometimes he would get called on. Even if his name was called the girl still didn't bother to even turn around. He frowned knowing he couldn't catch a simple glance from her.
I need to do something
When the class ended he waited for everyone to exit the classroom until she was the only left. She seems to be the last one to always leave the classroom just because she was still copying the words written on the board. Todays reason was different. She wasn't copy in notes but she was just staring at the blank wall and feeling sleepy.
Finn slowly came up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder making her jolt up.
"Shit!" Elisse shouts. When she sees Finn, she sighs in relief while her hand is still placed on her heart from Finns scare.
"Sorry, E. You okay?" Elisse couldn't answer him. If he knew he was the reason for this, all she would feel is guilt. Her thoughts was just a huge knot. It felt as if she couldn't untie it or no other person can.
"I'll see you tomorrow." When she tries to walk away from him, he immediately reaches for her arm. Luckily, he held her.
"Please look at me." Finn pleaded. He's been waiting for her eyes ever since he left her on her roof.
"Ellie please... Look at me." Elisse then looked at Finn with her eyes baring no story. She was so confused on what happened. She knew she should stay away from him but another question was why couldn't she avoid him? It made her brain hurt and it definitely didn't make the situation any better.
"Goodbye, Finn." Elisse harshly removed Finns hold and walked out of the classroom leaving a worried and confused Finn.
Finn sighed. He didn't know what to do. His only intention is to be her friend. Nothing else. But he feared that if he stayed closed to her, he'll fall. He was scared that maybe he'll end up exactly the same after what happened. He was scared Elisse will just leave him.
But he noticed something.
He felt something.
That something was that he definitely didn't feel happy with the fact that they were just friends.
A/n: im alive btw I'm just gonna rant.
U r not ur grades. Ur grades just show how much effort u put into ur studies. If u have a low grade on a certain subject, that doesn't mean ur dumb. Ur grades does not describe person who u r on the inside. So don't worry.
Im just saying this cuz these people r battling with the fact they think their stupid cuz they had 75. And their important to me so...
But lowkey very proud of myself for earning a 92 average😍
