Bonus Chapter - Eleanor "Ellie" Hastings

10000 Reads!! HOLY SHIT! I can believe it! THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH guys! I want to thank every one of you and first my Best Friend Akischa for being so supportive and encouraging me and a big thank you to you, who had been following me since the beginning and also to those of you who have just discovered ISHPT and have been voting for every chapter even the Copyright Disclaimer (haha, thanks!)

So to celebrate this milestone, even minor, I have decided this morning to write a bonus chapter but, it is so short that it should be called an ESSAY (say it in a British accent, much more fun lol). In this essay stars Ellie and the moment when she intend to ask Evan out.

I wanted to ask you if you wanted to have Ellie's "story" intertwined in ISHPT or do you want a spin off/sequel when I'm done with Alice and Lukian later. I actually want to write a short story for every one of main characters meaning Ellie, Valentino, Jason, Jesse and Don. I don't want to spend too much time on them as I have some wonderful ideas coming up.

TELL ME WHAT YOU WOULD PREFER IN THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW OR JUST PM ME

TTFN,

Amarylis

Eleanor “Ellie” Hastings is Alice Richards’ infamous best friend. It is comprehensible to think that anyone would seem ‘faded out’ next to Alice’s incredible presence. But Ellie is a phenomenon in her own right but she doesn’t outshine Alice either; that is impossible. It is accurate to say that these two complement each other in every way.  They are both blondes, tall – Alice being the tallest, they have similar fashion styles as they both wear Alikia’s, Alice’s mother, designs, both are incredibly intelligent with high IQs and last but not least, they are both unbelievably beautiful. It is important to say that they also love to get and make trouble, and they do it together more often than not.

They were together when they first got arrested a few summers prior. Ellie had decided that sneaking in a liquor store after closing time and ‘buying’ a few bottles of Irish whisky would be a good idea. Neither of them had thought that there might be a silent alarm in the storage room of the shop and it was less than five minutes in there that they found themselves in front of two skinny Scotland Yard officers with two firearms pointed at them.

During freshman year, when Alice had decided to prank the head master of the first school she had been admitted in, Ellie was right there with her. She helped prepare the food colouring mixture that Alice was going to spread in the centre of the ham sandwich was going to be anonymously delivered to Mr Jones right before the morning assembly. Everybody knows how much he loved ham. He never touched ham after the 2500 students made fun of him for months because his teeth were painted a green, blue and pink. Actually six months after this ‘incident’, he asked for a transfer in Wales.

The two puny examples are to show you that Alice and Ellie do almost everything together and if not, the other knows about it.

Then you will understand how strange it is to see Ellie walking down the street, a grave expression on her beautiful face, without her accomplice. She is alone because even Alice doesn’t know where she’s going and what she’s doing there. Her heart is beating fast in her chest as she neared the entrance of the building. The rhythmic flutter of her heart is so loud in her ears, as she walks through the front entryway. She walks in further and finally comes to the final door. She stops right in front, takes a deep breath and opens it.

She freezes right there. Her heart stops a second, and the pain in her chest is so intense that she could have sworn that it has not started and that it will not. Tears burn her eyes and she literally flies out of the club running.

She went there in the intention of finally asking Evan out. She really liked him. And in the previous months, her feelings had deepened and this morning, she had decided to take a step forward. She had never thought or even considered that he already had a girlfriend and that she would have come upon them kissing. That image was forever branded in her mind and the deep lesions it caused in heart and soul would never mend.
