Just Like that

*Chapter 1*

Ella Santiago pov:-

"You will walk away. Please don't walk away. I will not be able to live without you. Please I am begging you. Please don't leave me like this. " I looked up at Arnold as I said those words but he seemed unaffected. He was busy looking through his Instagram feed. Am I that unnoticeable? He won't even spare me a single glance.

"Arnold please. Don't do this to me. I love you." I wispered the last part so only I can hear that. But suddenly I can hear people laughing from behind. Oh god what have I got myself into. Arnold stood up from his seat and now was walking in rounds around me.

"Tsh tsh Ella. Is this so?? You love me? " he laughed aloud in the end. He picked up a sprite can and dumped the soda all over me. I could feel the cool liquid running down my back and my hair sticking to my face. I could even feel the stares of other people surrounding me even though I am too numb to hear their roars of laughter.

"Poor Ella fell in love. Poor Ella fell in love. poor Ella fell in love. Poooooooor Ella fell in love....... Ella Ella Ella" My world started shaking around me and suddenly there was light and what? I woke up in my bed. It was a stupid dream. Hell it was really freaky and stupid dream. God I dunno what I will do if it will come true.

I looked at the clock beside me. It was still 6:45 and I had more than half hour to get ready for school. I got up from my bed to my bathroom and turned on the shower. You can say I am an early riser. No this doesn't mean I am that stereotype nerd good girl. For starters I don't even wear glasses and get good grades. I am just a normal average girl trying to fit in. That would be me.

I slowly did my hair, thoroughly massaging my hair with my favorite berry shampoo and washing myself up with the same flavoured soap. It feels good. The water cascading down our backs and the feel of it cleansing everything. Wish it could similarly clean people eviless and all the bad happening around. But in that way world would be too good to live. Maybe? Maybe not? What the hell am I thinking. I quickly would myself up in a white fluffy towel and went inside my room. I looked through my closet to search for something I could wear.

I took out a pair of faded jeans with a cream cardigan to go. I paired it with my favorite black trainers. I dried my hairs and put it in a ponytail. I put on a moisturizer on my skin and a layer of lip balm on my lips and decided to go natural. I don't like wearing makeup. I slung on my bag and went to the kitchen to get my breakfast. My mum was on the phone while I entered the kitchen.

She was in her late 30's but still was breathtakingly beautiful. He curley hairs and beautiful eyes could put any model to shame. I looked over the dining table to see a plate of toast and eggs with juice in it.  I smiled looking at it. No matter how much busy my mum is she just never forget to feed me and my sister. Since my sister is in college its just me and my mum. My dad died when I was in seventh grade. It was a hard time for all of us but we surpassed that. Together

I quickly ate my breakfast, bid my goodbyes to my mother and started walking to my school. I was studying in 12 grade now in one of the most prestigious school in our small town Hail. Our school Hail high was only 10 minute walk from my home so I never had to take bus.

As I was entering I was greeted with the sight of famous 'it couple'. You know that couple every school has. That showoff kind of couple that every sane would know will end up breaking up in a few months. Yeah yeah thats the kind of couple I am talking about. 

That 'it' couple in our Hail high is Arnold Hikks and Andrea Nelson.  You might be thinking you had already heard Arnold. So yeah yeah I admit I had a crush on him. What?  Don't look at me like that. Okay okay I admit.... It is more on the love side than crush. He was dark, tall with those intimidating eyes in which you can't see more than two seconds. He has that jolly personality which can attract anyone's attention. His gang was one of the coolest in our school. His voice. Don't even get me started on that. His deep voice will compell you to hear that even though all you can hear is bullshit. Bullshit. And more bullshit. And on the other hand there is his girlfriend who hates my gut. Actually we were friends long back but now she looks in mu directon and all you can see is disgust in her  eyes. I never tried to talk to her now. Maybe we had too much differences. Whatever. She is one of those who think they are all mighty and high but is not better than any other person beside them. How can a jerk like her can end up with someone soo good. Gosh.  Good that no one knows about my major-minor crush on him.
