Chapter 4:
*Ellie’s POV*
All classes for today are almost to end… But I haven’t regained my mood yet.
How am I supposed to tell Mr. Hoffman that I was physically there when it all happened? And how am I supposed to pretend like I never know anything about it?
Good heavens!
The previous class I shared with Scott was distressing me… He has been very irritating in that class though we aren’t sitting next to each other; our seats aren’t even close… but he often pisses me off like there’s no tomorrow… But recently, he’s unusually quiet… and it’s bothering me.
He’s beat up and troubled with that issue… He’s the basketball team’s captain after all.
The school bell finally rang and I moved on to my final class.
As the class went on, I decided to dismiss my sentiments and tried to concentrate on Mrs. Bliss’ discussion.
Focus El, focus…
“Excuse me Madam…” a young man appeared outside the door and it called everyone’s attention, “…I just wanted to give these to Ms. Ellie Monroe.”
And that brought every single head drift into my direction…
Before I could even react, the man went along and placed the bouquet of flowers and chocolates on my desk, “…these are from Mr. Kevin Davis….” With that, he handed a card with my name inscribed on it before he curtsied and left.
The note reads,
Allow me to settle everything so please do not involve yourself anymore. If you want to talk to me, you could come at Per Se tonight at 7 o’clock.
-KD
What the hell is this about, Kevin Davis?!

“Oh my god, El!” Nica exclaimed, covering her mouth at the same time. “Why didn’t you tell me??”
Nica kept on blabbing when we met right after our classes… And I, on the other side, kept on walking out from the piercing gazes of the people around.
“For the love of God, the famed KD’s courting my best friend!”
“Nics! Oh God, would you please belt up??”
I swear, I could see that lots and lots of eyes were planted on me right now… And this tension’s drowning me…
I’ve never been stared like this in my whole life before… As in, never! And never in my whole life have I imagined that someone would send me… flowers and… and… and… ugh!
What did I ever do to suffer like this?
“Ellie! Are you even listening?” Nica halted me from walking…
“Holy golly El, the guy’s asking you out! And this is gonna be your first date eveeeeeeeer!”
“Nics… pleeeease.. I beg you..”
“Ellie, you need a makeover.”
“Noooo!”
“Yes you do!”
“I said no! He’s not asking me out, okay? He’s definitely not!”
“Goodness El! What’s so wrong with dating? Besides, you’re single and very much available… Come on, we’re talking about KD here!”
Oh please Nics, if you only know…
