RICKY GRABBED ELLIE'S THINGS AS THEY READIED FOR DISMISSAL. Things were going the way things should be. First, they successfully bring Miss Jenn back because of their amazing and jaw dropping performance earlier. Ricky couldn't help but to smile on how he enjoyed performing with the others. It sort of gave him this unsettling but good feeling. It was hard to explain,for Ricky.

It was surprising of how good it felt when he held those femine hand of hers and dance and sing as if it was their last time performing. The feeling was intoxicating feeling as if his heart would burst out while holding his girlfriend hand. W

"I'll go ahead, Ricky. I needed to fetch some things in my locker." Ty informed Ricky. He couldn't remember when was the time the two became on good terms. Ricky always assumed that Ty didn't like his curly brown and black converse shoes and all. But at least, right now, as a best friend of Ellie. It serves as a good sign.

"Okay. Catch up with ya later." Ricky put all of Ellie's things inside her bag. As expected, it was neat as Ellie's bedroom. Her notebooks were aligned in color coding,her folders are set neatly and her makeup kits are organized in a compartment of her bag. There Ricky saw something that made his brow furrow.

" Hey, I'm sorry if you waited." Ellie's intense bright smile meets his goofy grin.

"Ready to go home?" Ellie wrapped her arms around Ricky making him a bit fluster of how Ellie wrapped her arms around him so boldly and at the same time cutely.

"You're so cute..."Ricky blushed as they made their way home.

🌼🌼🌼

" You know I don't know anything about you. "

"Go ahead, ask. " Ricky's hand held hers while the other was holding her bagpack.

" I dunno. I just realized that I don't know what is your favorite color, band, or etc?"

"To answer you question... It's blue and my favorite bands are all on my Playlist. Because there are so many,"

"Your favorite food?"

"Anything." Ricky said simply which made Ellie surprised. She asked him he eats anything placed on his plate, Ricky nodded. In the end making all giggles and laughter escapes both of their mouth.

"Oh... And by the way, about that Zenith guy."

" Zenith? What about him?"

" You never mentioned him before." Ellie's head went up and down. "Well, there's nothing to talk about him. He's just... a little friend of mine" this was one of the times Ellie felt... guilty? It was a weird feeling, though. But then she realized Ellie lied to Ricky.

"Friend, huh? A friend who hugs you so tightly earlier"

"He just missed me, Ricky. It's been years since we saw each other." Ricky nodded understanding her situation and that Zenith guy.

Ellie held his hands as they reach her house. It was clear that there was no one inside. She waited for a moment and gaze at Ricky. His smile was everything to her which she wanted to see now.

" You dont need to be jealous. Because... I love you, alright?"Ellie reassures and they shared a short but sweet kiss before they parted. Her hands lightly touches Ricky's cheeks, Ellie felt Ricky smile at her lips.

" On the contrary, I'm not jealous and secondly...I love you too. " He cupped her cheeks and peck her a kiss which made Ellie let out a childish giggle. There again the butterflies that lightly flutters inside her stomach.

Ellie waved a goodbye at Ricky and waited for him to be far away and turn to a car near her house which she noticed was parked earlier near their house. Ellie knew who owns the car. It was impossible not to notice the car, since it looked so classy and expensive. Her knuckles felt the cold glass of the car lightly as she knocks.

"What do you want, Zenith?"

🌼🌼🌼

"I was gonna ask you on a expensive dinner."

"You don't need to." Ellie handed Zenith a glass of cold water.

"How long was it 3 years? And by the way, I like what you did with your hair." Zenith smiled playfully as he munched some of her baked cookies.

" What do you want?" making Zenith taken aback of how different Ellie tone is. Not just her looks but also there was something different on Ellie.

" No " I miss you Zenith"? " Zenith made a jokingly hurt voice which made Ellie role her eyes

"We both know how you badly rejected me. I'm not that stupid girl who will fall for an arrogant guy like you, Zenith." Ellie snapped.

"Come on its been three years. Can't we just move on----"

"What do you want, Zenith?" Ellie firmly asked the British guy who was left in thoughts.

"I've missed you, Ellie. Is there any chance that your offer 3 years ago still standing?"

"Are you drunk or somethin?" Ellie blurted because she was taken aback of what Zenith said. His hands were so big and cold as his index finger pushed Ellie's forehead lightly and made a goofy look.

"Of course, I'm joking. Why so serious, L?"

"Would you stop calling me that----"

"What? L?" the girl nodded as she grabbed a glass of cold water.

"Come on. I just became a model for three years and----"

"You're being that arrogant Zenith that I knew. The sly, big-headed---"

"That's why you have a crush on me... before." he coughed at the last word and took a sip on his water.

"Well Zenith, I have some stuffs to do and college applications. So..."

"Okay. I'll go ahead next time ask Ty to set a date for the three of us to hang out." Ellie couldn't agree more if she asked Ty about it, he would explode if he hears that the one and only Zenith is back.

"Catch up with you later, darling." he winks and with just a blink he left. Ellie took a deep breath and bit her lip, frustratingly. Her hands felt the sharp coldness of the glass and a sudden ring disturbs the silence. Ellie's eyes wonder her phone as she got the biggest announcement that would change her life.
