THE MORNING SUN STRIKES ELLIE'S GRUDGING FACE. The alarm went on and on hysterically. Ellie loves the morning sun. She beams happily as she stretched her arms reducing the stiffness and sighed in satisfaction when relax came through.

 It is a usual day for Eleanor, so she jumped to her autumn warm color dress that made her dirty blonde hair look warmer. Her phone rang a few seconds but she decided to ignore it since she already knew who's calling her this early morning.

"A new day." she sighed and turned her alarm off.

She met the usual note glued on the fridge from Flora, her mom.

' There's a salad on the fridge. Gonna be home late. Love you, sweetie.'

 Ellie breathes and wasn't surprised that there was a packed Waldorf salad her favorite. She's always left alone in their house. Since her mom needed to work full time til midnight, which sucks for some kids but to Ellie she was totally okay with it. Because it was for their—her own good. Since her dad left them. He didn't just left Ellie and Flora broken financial but all and all as well. It was hard at first but they need to move on despite everything is going downhill for both of them.

They're fortunate enough that Flora landed on pretty nice job. But still, it can't cover the whole debt that they have.

So Ellie vowed herself to give all her best on academics and to pass on one of the prestige and big college university so she could land on a pretty decent job that would pay all of her dad's debt. 

Since it's still early, she grab her notes and start scanning her notes. But of course she was interrupted by the door bell. It was pretty lonely and boring and all in her house but.

"I just grabbed some coffee. Want some?" her hazel eyes collided with his hazel ones.

" Count me in." Ellie smiled thankfully and grabbed some black coffee which she loves.

" How was last night?" Ellie remembered the party that she attended, making her shiver , reminiscing what happened last night.

" Classy... and a bit formal. Though my grandparents wanted me to meet up some guys who are jackass. " she remembered a guy named Pete who asked her out. But his blonde locks and shinny teeth was to much for her.

"Oh the party was a bit to much, huh? By the way, I wont be able to drive you home later for a month or three." she wouldn't come to that formal party if it weren't for her grandparents whom Flora and her have a debt. Flora hated it when she had a debt or anything that has to do with her mother, Ellie's grandparents. But since it's desperate time, desperate measures.

"A bit busy with all extracurricular. You know the musical. It's coming up." Ty informed and opened the car door for Ellie. She loves that when he do that. Such a gentleman.

"Oh the musical. What musical was it again?"

🌼🌼🌼

"You should join the musical by the way. It would look good for your college application." Tiberius also known as Ty tried to convince her best friend to join the musical. Since he knew she needed it for her college and it would also be a great help for them if she will audition next week.

His back leaned on the white cold lockers of East High. Students continues passing by, busy with their own lives. Ellie grabbed all of her stuff and tried to organize her things. Ellie loves to organize thing and dislike being dirty or should Ty say unorganized.

" I don't know Ty. You know I'm not good at stage presentation or musicals. And besides... I have a lot of food on my plate." Ty raised his brow and was about to open his locker but then he remembered he got all of his things in his hands.

" Are you sure it's not has something to do with your Dad? " Ty asked, carefully.

" I know you, Ellie."

" No. " Ellie shook her head. It's not that she doesn't likes singing or has something to do with her Dad but she just grew out of it. Back in elementary school she was one of those kids who compete on singing contest. But one day it just stopped giving her the butterflies in her stomach when she's performing.

"I can't commit to a musical play. You know my schedule, right?" Ty made a face that made Ellie giggle.

"I have to study, study, study and study."

" I know. Can you just think about it? Cuz we need a decent actors and actresses that could pull off the musical."

" They have you, hon . And I totally believe in you and the crew...that you can pull it off, okay?" Ty gaze at Ellie sweet smile. But Ty blinked in surprise that there was a strange and light feeling that surges in him.

 She waited for him to nod but Ty just stayed like that and said that he should head to his class.

" Hey Ty, come on. " she called and bit her lip in guilt. She can't do the play. She just can't. The feeling that she wasn't ready for it. And she's just being vocal with her feelings. Ellie tries to push the guilt away but unfortunately fails.

"Ufff—I'm sorry I'm not watching where I'm—" her mouth almost went gape with the person she just bumped into.

"EJ, how are you doing?"

"Hey, Ellie. Everything's good. You?" Ellie bit her lower lip, trying not to leave a goofy smile. EJ grinned at her that allow her to adore his smile.

 He's so very attractive, Ellie admired.

"I'm totally good. Splendid day, don't you think?" Ellie tried to hide the awkwardness of her tone while talking to her crush. EJ just nodded still smiling friendly at her.

Out of her notice a goofy smile escapes Ellie's lips.

"Indeed, it's a splendid day." EJ couldn't help but to chuckle at the blonde and agree.Not wanting to be late, EJ excused himself and went different path. Heading to the court, Ellie thought.

Ellie gazed at EJ's back, her embarrassing smile vanished, completely aware at her actions earlier. But then the bell rang snapping her to reality. 

Class. Books. Study.

"Did I just used the word splendid?" Ellie whispered to herself remembering of how awkward she acted with EJ.
