Half Way Happy | E.D

5.

"okay, ready?" iridessa looks at me with confidence.

"gosh stop being so extra" i laugh.

"come on bexley, it's the last day of school. we are about to walk in these doors and slay everyone." she waves her hands around.

"let's go" i sarcastically roll my eyes and open the double doors to the school.

and she was right.

as we walked down the hallway, we got lots of stares. the snobby girls have us bad looks.

jealous?

the others had their jaws to the floor, then they looked down at their outfit, wishing it was just as good.

the guys cheered and made bets. typical high school meat heads.

catcall after catcall, iridessa and i walked the halls proudly.

i've never been one for attention.

but today feels good.

i'm actually.. confident.

the bell rings and everyone scurries to class. iridessa and i have the same schedule except for sixth period. so that's seven periods together, along with lunch. our school has eight periods, though most have seven.

but guess who else i have first period with? ethan. he's also in my fourth, fifth, and sixth. we have the same lunch too, which is between fifth and sixth.

i would usually be nervous.

but because of iridessa and her amazing makeup skills, and my amazing fashion skills, i'm not so nervous. i walk into the room with pride, not even glancing towards ethan. i sit down in my seat, and so does iridessa. obviously right beside mine.

"elephant was staring at you the whole time you were walking. he still is" she whispers.

elephant is his code name.

duh.

"that's you're imagination" i doubt.

"i promise he's looking at you."

"yeah probably all like 'ew she's dumb'" i consider.

she gives me a look.

i decide maybe i should turn around and take a look for myself.

you got this. don't be obvious about it. just.. just act like you're looking back at the clock

i turn around to "check the time" and glance at ethan.

holy crap

he is looking at me

he quickly turns away and i turn back to the front of the class, as if i never saw anything.

i lean over and whisper.

"you're right"
