Facing The Audience

ELEKTRA AMBROSIA

No, no, no. Too much is going on in my life. I showed him my eyes and I don't know if he's gonna blab or not. He found out he's a Demi-God half an hour ago and - from what I know - he's gonna faff about. I'm practically his life coach now. And on top of it all, I'm falling for him... while he's falling for me.

"I need a therapist."

Donnie looks at me right in the eye, showing the concern he has for me. I have to resist the urge to kiss him, right there and then. Instead, I turn over to Minnie and ask, "Can you get us to school quicker?"

And she replies, "στο σχολείο!"

"That does not m-"

SCHOOL

And there we were, sitting next to each other in an empty classroom.

"Uhh, Elektra, we need to talk," he said, scratching the back of his ear, which meant this is coming deep down the heart. "Do you really think I'm hot? Like, I never knew you, the hot popular jock, would call me hot. I'm, like, the lamest kid in the school, let alone hot. And yes, I'm in love with you. I know Beth and Jessie probably wouldn't like it, but I generally want to be with you. Now I'm gonna go get changed for the football try-outs. Wish me luck. But just think about it. Call me..." his voice echoed in the corridor.

Okay, well that was a lot to process, but his dark golden eyes along with his brown hair and blonde highlights.

"Wait, do you have my number?" he smirked.

"Yes I do. Now go," I laughed as he did his duck lips.

How can I say yes, but how can I say no?

"FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!" I can hear from the corridor. Ehh... I's probably Todd and some loner. But the loner could be DONNIE! Please don't be Donnie! Please don't be Donnie! Please don't be Donnie! It's Donnie. I gotta stop this before Donnie gives Todd brain damage(which, for the record, he totally deserves). I pull the fire alarm and shout," FIRE ALARM, DUMBASSES. And Todd, your ass got kicked."

LUNCH

"May I ask why there was a fight?" I asked during our conservation.

"Todd said you were as gullible as a goat and would probably get raped and wouldn't notice. Saved you the trouble," he said holding my hand under the table. "I wouldn't want you to suffer from that."

"Todd's staring. We need to do someth-" he kissed me. He actually fully kissed me. And it lasted for about 6 seconds and a half.

I just stared at him blankly while he ate his burger casually. And carried on.

"I mean, you did say do something. See, he isn't looking anymore. If you want the real deal, you'll have to come over tonight. In fact, gimme your phone." he took my phone. "Hi, is this Elektra's mom?"

"What are you doing?"

"Is Elektra allowed to spend the night at mine? She is? Thanks. By the way, my name's Donnie. Don't be surprised if you hear about me a lot. Bye. Sounds like your coming home with me, Austin and Brodz."

"What, why? What about the real deal?"

"Sale starts at 10:30!" And there he went.

"Uh, Minnie. Be at Donnie's house at 10."

"At 10, huh?" Todd sniggered. "I'll be there."
