shoutout to Aquarius014 you're comment was so kind 🥺💕

- lunch time -

me and sarah are sitting at the bleachers. she's so sweet and funny. people are missing out honestly. this group of popular girls approach me and sarah.

the 'leader' i'm guessing sits right in between me and sarah and her gang of friends sit around me completely leaving sarah out.

"you should come hang out with us. you are so gorgeous." she says.

"my names maddison and this is tana, hannah and riley." she says.

"hi maddison, tana, hannah and riley." i smile. "i'm ella."

"heyy." they all say. "so are you coming?"

i look at sarah. "not now. maybe later." i say. "i'm so sorry."

"it's fine babe." maddison says. "bye ella."

"thanks for not leaving me." sarah says coming closer to me.

"are you kidding me? of course i wouldn't leave." i say.

"the jocks are coming." sarah says annoyed.

"huh?" i say confused and look over to where she's looking.

"hey ella." brandon smirks.

"you know eachother?" sarah and the other guts say.

"yeah." we both say.

brandon sits next to me and the others crowd around us.

"go play football or something." i say packing my stuff.

"what why?" brandon says.

"because." i say standing up. "i'll talk to you later." i say to brandon and me and sarah leave.

"oooo she'll talk to you later." the guys tease brandon and start making kissing and moaning sounds.

sarah chuckles. "you're already so popular. you've got on the popular girls good side and the jocks literally approached you."

"i am not popular." i say.

"mhm." she says smiling.

"uh uh." i say.

- after school -

i'm outside in the parking lot outside of my car talking to tana because sarah got picked up and tana told me to stay with her for a little until she got picked up from school and i gladly agreed.

"oh my moms here." she says. "thanks for staying. bye."

"bye." i say smiling. her and her friends are actually so nice. i got almost half of the grades snapchat and instagram its unbelievable.

as i'm about to open my car door someone turns me around to face them. "sometimes i mistake you for joe goldberg because you are literally stalking me."

he chuckles. "i just want to warn you about something."

"umm okay." i stretch out.

"you know your friend sarah?"

"yeah." i say.

"don't trust her with anything. i'm being really serious here." he tells me dead in the eye.

"why?" i say confused.

"you'll probably think no one likes her because she's a loner but that's not it." he says seriously.

"if you don't believe me and continue being her friend.. i'm telling you.. she will ruin the nicest persons reputation for no reason." he says. "just please trust me on this. and you can't tell her anything about this conversation because more people will bring it up to you."

"brandon what the heck!"

he nods and then smirks. "anyway.. wanna go out tonight?" he asks.

i really want to know more about sarah. and i really want mcdonald's..

"it's not a date, relax." i warn him.

"okay."

"at the mcdonald's near the beach and meet me at my house." i tell him.

"yes sir." he chuckles and salutes me.

"thank you ma'am." i tease him and push him playfully and drive to my house.
