the bad boy and a broken nerd

chapter 12: that was sarcasm

Ellie’s POV

2 weeks later

Okay so when i said that “i think we are starting to get back to normal” i was overly wrong.

Okay so here’s what been happening

2 weeks ago

“What do you mean we are going back to school?!” i yelled at my delusional aunt.
“Honey it’s not healthy for you to stay inside the house everyday. I think it will be good for you and James to go back to school” she tells me. I think, no i know she is mental.

“No, we aren't ready” i tell her.

“It doesn't matter you are going and so is James, so go and tell him. You are starting again on monday” i groan and stomp off.

Yeah i know i am acting really childish, but we are not ready to go back to school. EVERYONE is going to be looking and staring at us. Giving us pity. And asking ‘are you okay’ i mean of course not. You just made it worse.

Aunt E even wants ME to tell James this. She is probably too scared to. He is 100% going to be mad about this.

I walk up the stairs and up to James’ room.

Ughhhhhhhh

Knock, knock

I walk into the room, and see that James is on his phone. He looks up at me with a confused look.

I sigh and sit down on the bed beside him, and start thinking about the words i will say. You might think i am overreacting, but i am not. Okay maybe i am… but this is very serious.

“Hey James”

“Hey Ellie Buggy” i smile at the nickname

“Huh. back with the nickname?” i ask him.

“Yep. so what's wrong?” dang how does he know when there is something wrong?

“Well… aunt E had this stupid thought about us...going back to school on monday.”

“What?! No. i am NOT ready to go back. You aren't. We aren't. And we are not going back we need more time.”

“Yep. That’s what i told her. She said that we have no choice in it, and it will be ‘good for us’” i tell him.

“Ugh. i think she hates us. Like how would that be ‘good for us?” he air quoted ‘good for us’ i chuckled.

“i think she think our friends will help or something, or us being social”

“Well if she really thinks that then she is-”

“Mental?” i finish his sentence.

He chuckled and replied a ‘yep’

“Well anyways there is no saying no to this… and Aunt E told me to tell you because she is probably too scared to tell you, so i did” i tell him.

He chuckled.

“Huh. didn't know i could be so scary” he said sarcasm leaking in his voice.

“Yeah, sure you didn't” i told him in the same tone.

We both laughed and i left his room, and went into mine.

I plopped on my bed and decided to check my phone in the first time since the accident.

Yeah.
