Lovestruck (The Vamps)

i. School

Elli's P.O.V.

Alexa and I were getting ready for gym. It's the first day of senior year and today we were running around the track at our high school. I was tying my shoe when I saw the head captain of the cheerleading squad walking towards us.

"Hey Elli" she smiled deviously at me, "Hey Alexa. Jordan Cook just asked me out. You know the one you've liked since Kindergarten? Yea so I said yes. I hope you don't mind."

"No I don't" I muttered angrily.

"Good, but you know now you can dream about The Vamps liking you. Oh wait you're too ugly for anyone to like you. I'd love to see who you bring to prom."

She giggled and then smiled at both of us again before walking away. I hate her so much and I freaking thought Jordan like me. I also hate the The Vamps, I'd vowed to hate them ever since freshman year because every popular person like them. I hated popular people, therefore I hated The Vamps and I still do.

"Sheesh Elli how do you recover from that" Jade's freak of a co captain asked and then snickered.

"Alright it's time to get down and dirty" Coach Bryant yelled, "Start your engines."

I looked over to see everyone lining up on both sides of Alexa and I and I could see Jade making flirty faces at Jordan. Jordan looked at me with sad eyes, like he was asking for fogiveness. Forgive him? For asking out my worst enemy? I shook my head and looked at the track in front of me. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Jordan look sadly at the track.

If I was still his best friend I would've felt sorry, but he's used up the last bit of pity I have. Coach blew the whistle and we were all off. I sprinted down the track as fast as I could go, but I noticed Emma, the co captain, sprinting faster. How do I recover from that?

"Like this" I whispered and pushed her.

She fell and scraped her knee. I heard the whistle blow, but I kept going and when I looked back, I could see them all looking up in disbelief.

"Elli" Coach screamed.

I kept running the circle-shaped track, all the way back to everyone who had stopped to help Emma up.

"She pushed me Coach" Emma sobbed, "I didn't do anything wrong! What did I do to you Elli?!"

I was breathing hard and I started tearing up.

"Elli" Jordan whispered angrily like he couldn't believe what I'd done.

I turned and ran the other way.

"Elli come back here" I heard Coach yell.

I ran faster, as fast as I could go and that was pretty fast considering I run from all my problems. It's been a lot of practice because when you're Elli Dallas, you have many complicated problems. I ran into the bathrooms and locked the door to the stall I was in. I shakily drew the knife from my pocket. To anyone who hasn't cut this looks like pain, but not like the shit I've been through.

I cut a long incision in my wrist to symbolize the big pain I caused everyone today and the pain everyone caused me right back.

"Elli" I heard someone yell.

If I knew my best friend, then it was her.

"Elli" Alexa repeated, "Let me in."

She banged on the stall.

"You don't know it's me" I cried.

"You wore your lucky vans today" she chuckled, "Bad choice."

"Bad choice is right, these shit shoes aren't any good luck to me. Jordan, my best friend and very first crush, broke my heart today. I was stomped on by Jade today and I was caused trouble by Emma today."

"Elli it's not your-"

"You know me too well Alexa and it very well is my own damn fault. It's my fault that I'm still here and not gone off of the face of this Earth yet and it's my fault that I tripped Emma."

"Elli! Don't say that!"

I could tell she was starting to cry.

"It's the truth and we all know it Alexa!"

"I'll buy you a white chocolate mocha and oreos."

Every time I take a nice bruising, Alexa always forces me to come to Starbucks with her. Basic white girl huh?

"You know they don't have oreos there right" I asked, covering my wrist with my long-sleeved jacket.

"Yes I know Elli, I'll buy you your damned oreos later."

I smiled and opened the stall door.

"What's with you and those jackets?"

"Umm-"

"Well at least they're fashionable."

You don't understand Alexa, you just don't understand and you never will. Nobody will.
