What people don't know

Chapter 83

Daniel's pov:

Three weeks have passed, Elle's been avoiding me the whole time and i really don't know why. I keep asking her what's wrong but she just ignores me.... She looks horrible, she has huge bags under her eyes and she's pale. I really wonder what's wrong with her but she doesn't answer any of my texts, plus in real life she avoids me. She switched classes, I'm not with her in any class anymore. I've been seeing her on parties and she's going hard on those. She's always super drunk on them and then she walks home. I don't get why she's drinking so much, there must be something wrong with her but i just can't get to her.

I asked my mom what i'm doing wrong, but she just told me that Elle just isn't the right girl for me and that's it for the best that she's ignoring me. I really don't get what the fuck she means with that. Today it's friday so that means there's another party tonight, I'm going like always with my boys, i've stopped drinking since the night Elle saved me. I take a hot shower to relax my tensed muscles. I change into some shorts and a white t-shirt. the temperature is slowly going down, it's now the beginning of October. I do my hair, brush my teeth and then i walk down the stairs. My dad and mom are already sitting at the table eating breakfast, I sit down at my spot and i grab a bowl and some cereals, "Goodmorning Dani boy" my mom says and i just smile as an answer. I quickly eat my breakfast and then i grab my backpack, "I'm staying at Trevor's place tonight!" I say and my mom just nods. I never tell her i'm going to a party cause i know that she wouldn't allow it. I get in my car and i drive to school. When i pull up to the parking lot i see Elle entering the school. She's wearing her black converse, a black tank top plus some black shorts. She's been wearing the upper half of her hair in a little bun lately and it looks super cute! I take a deep breath and i get out of my car. I immediately walk to Elle's locker, I hope that i catch her there so i can talk to her. I've been trying this every day, I failed every single time but today i'm gonna succeed! I see her putting books in her locker and i start walking faster. "Hey Elle!" I say and i grab her wrist when she wants to walk away, she looks up at me. Even though she's super pale, has huge bags under her eyes and her eyes look weird she's still the most beautiful girl in the school. "What" she says with a weak voice, "I've been meaning to ask you something" I say and she just keeps looking at me, "How are you doing?" I ask, "I'm fine" she says and she pulls her hand back. She grabs her backpack and she walks away. This is exactly what's been happening the past weeks, I go up to her and ask her what's up, some days I can't even find her. I just stand there in the hallway when i see Samantha walking up to Elle, gosh i hate that bitch so much, she's always picking on Elle and i just had enough. "Omg she looks so sad" Samantha says with her high and annoying voice, some people laugh about her comment and she walks even closer to Elle. Elle just stands there looking at the wall, I don't think she really cares but i do! Samantha raises her hands and she slaps Elle's cheek. Elle's schocked, I can read that off her face easily, she blinks a few times and then she looks at Samantha. Samantha isn't paying any attention and Elle quickly grabs her wrist. Samantha tries to pull her hand back but Elle is stronger, "Don't do that again" Elle says, I see the red mark on her cheek. I feel anger rushing through my body, i slowly walk closer to them. Everybody is just looking at them, nobody is saying or doing anything. Samantha's little minions grab Elle by her shoulders and the push her against the locker. "Don't you do that again" Samantha says while she walks up to Elle, she grabs Elle by her hair. That's when i snapped, "Let go off her Samantha" I say and she looks up, she's surprised that i'm here. "Oh hey Daniel, just taking care of this piece of shit, then we can talk" she says, I clench my fists and i walk up to her. I give one deadly glare to her minions and they immediately let Elle go, Samantha is still holding her hair in her hands. I grab her wrist and i hold it tightly, "I said that you needed to let go off her" I say and slowly her grip on Elle's her weakens. I push her on the ground and i help Elle up. Elle pushes me asides, "I don't need your help" she says and she exits the school. I am stunned, I just kinda saved and she can't even say a thank you?! That's not the Elle i fell for. "Hah she doesn't even want you" Samantha says and she laughs, I just shake my head and i walk to my class. I just keep thinking bout what happened. If Elle just told me what's going on, maybe i can help her?
