pick me up | ✔

can i follow you back home? my parents told me to follow my dreams.

"What?!" Ellie exclaimed.

"Think about it, we go out to Harry's university, it's just a five minute walk, see if he's been doing well, and then we can let Rebecca do her own thing-"

"And when it works out, their relationship is saved!" Ellie finished for Andrew.

Johan nodded in agreement. "I often sneak out to eat ice cream with Madison. I can help guide you guys there."

Ellie wiggled her eyebrows. "Oooh, with Madison, eh?"

The green haired male clicked his tongue. "Shut up."

Andrew pulled them away. "So, are we doing this or not?" He said to the two, specifically targeting his question to Rebecca.

Rebecca stood up with a determined face. 

"Yeah, let's."

They all smiled and turned to Rebecca and ran out of the cafeteria, with Andrew's bag accidentally hooking to one of the trays and sent it tumbling to the floor.

"Shit!" Andrew exclaimed.

"Mr. Clarke!" Mr. Macklemore exclaimed by the side, giving a stern expression.

Andrew sheepishly smiled and ran away waving an apology. "Sorry, Mr. Macklemore, gotta do something important!"

Mr. Macklemore huffed and sat back down with his group of teachers, continuing his gossip about the students in the school.

The four friends kept running and running, twisting and turning in the school and narrowly dodging many students along the way.

Johan who was leading the group, quickly came to a stop once he reached the outside of the school and a fence to the outside.

He turned to his friends and pointed to a cardboard box. "Andrew, help me." 

Andrew helped Johan to move away the heavy box, revealing a hole in the concrete wall.

"Holy shit, Johan." Ellie exclaimed in surprise. "You dug this hole?"

Johan shook his head and rolled up his sleeves. "Nope, it was already there even before I came to this school."

Andrew chuckled. "How convenient."

"Come on, hurry up, lady's first." Johan said, letting Rebecca go first, followed by Ellie, and Andrew who had trouble fitting because he was so tall.

Johan went last, and dragged the box to cover the hole. He stood up and looked to his friends who were already following Rebecca to her boyfriend's college.

They walked by the roadside for about five mintes, passing by Johan's aunt's nail salon, a pizza place Andrew goes with Jack, and a coffee shop the friends go to to hang out.

After a while they reached Harry's university, Westwood University. The university was a rather large campus, and a really technologically advanced one too,

Their was a bunch of university students that came rushing out, and there was Harry and his friends.

"There's that bastard." Ellie said softly while she was hiding with her friends.

Harry was a black haired male that often was seen with a denim jacket that Rebecca gave him, but he doesn't seem to be wearing it right now.

Out of the blue, there was another girl that ran to Harry and hugged him from the back.

"What?" Rebecca muttered, earning a 'shhh' from her friends who seemed to be more interested it in than herself.

The girl that hugged Harry and held in hands and leaned in for a kiss that Harry graciously accepted and kissed back.

They seemed so lovey dovey with each other that Ellie made a face, Andrew was worrying over Rebecca, and Johan was looking at Harry with shock.

And, Rebecca, whoo, she was furious. She had tears streaming down her face, and her face contorted with anger.

She stood up from her hiding spot and marched her way to Harry who was smiling giddily with the other girl.

Ellie, Andrew, and Johan looked at each other for a brief moment before hastily stand up and running to Rebecca.

Rebecca pushed her way past the other university  students and stared at Harry with anger.

Harry, out of his lalaland trance with the other girl, looked at Rebecca with shock present everywhere on his face.

Rebecca's lip quivered and she slapped Harry across the cheek, a loud noise echoing through the campus.

"Oh!" Ellie shouted as she winced. 

Andrew looked at the now ex-couple and crossed his arms, not wanting to say another word.

Johan sneered at him. "Dipshit deserved it."

Rebecca flipped him the finger and said two last words to him that will be drilled into his mind forever. 

"Fuck you."

Rebecca then walked back to her friends, tears welling up in her eyes.

Ellie hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Don't waste your tears on that cheater."

Rebecca nodded and walked back to school with her friends following suite, giving Rebecca space as she needed it.

--------

Ellie began to pack her bags, her mind still wandering over to Rebecca breaking up with Harry, no that cheating bastard.

She sighed and slung her pastel pink backpack over her shoulder, immediately checking her phone to see if her messages were read.

Ellie

Ellie frowned and stuffed her phone in her pocket of her jeans.

"Hey, Ellie." Julio said, his frame leaning by the door. Ellie felt her heart skip a beat as she struggled to fix her hair.

"H-Hey, what are you doing here?" She asked him.

"You forgot to come to my house."

"Oh."

"Last Wednesday." Julio sternly replied.

"Oh..." Ellie trailed off, her eyes darting to the side of her Home Economics classroom shamefully.

'I'm such an ass! How can I try to impress him, when I can't even meet his simple requests!'

Julio sighed and looked at his watch.

"Oh!" Ellie exclaimed.

Julio raised an eyebrow.

"Can I follow you back home? My parents told me to follow my dreams." Ellie said, her hand pointed to him in the shape of finger guns.

Julio looked at her unimpressed and check his watch.

"You can, if you don't mind my parents and my three younger sisters bugging you."

Ellie blinked. "What."

Julio lazily adjusted his strap on his shoulder.

"I'm saying you can come over to my house and discuss about the project." Julio finished, leaving Ellie in a mess.

Julio looked down at her.

"So, are you coming or not, you daydreamer?"
