Things that bind us together- The cliff

PART-V(NO MORE SINGLE)

Salut les gars!!!!
Elliot's P. O. V

"Hey you!!!!!!!!! Little nerd" the voice that shivers me till the spine said. I froze at the spot I was standing at. No god. Please not now. Please. Help.

"I'm sorry. I will never come in your way again. Really really sorry" I said looking down, not wanting to see their faces. " look up. Loser" another boy said. I looked up and saw the real losers of my class. The bullies. Bill, Judice and their two other friends or more likely their tails.

"I think you want something more. You should've taken me seriously when I told you to be invisible for us" Bill said clenching his fist. They never did anything physical before, it has always been verbal. But i think today its going to change. Elliot get ready for it I told myself.

"Billie show him his place. I've to deal with my parents scolding because this nerdy bastard always takes perfect grades." One out of the other two guys said. Billie smirked and started coming towards me.

"I'm sorry. This won't happen again.Don't beat me. I'm really sorry" I said while crying. There is no way I can pass this out. If I run the beating will definitely worsen the next time. Bad has to always happen with me. Why me? Why???

"Just back off Bill" a powerful voice said. "Don't even try to touch him" " You lay a finger on him and I'll make sure you reach the principles office". Bill backed off knowing that it will certainly happen if he tried to hurt me.

" Who said I was going to hurt him. Was I my friend?" he asked moving his head towards me. " No he was not" i said suddenly with fear in my voice. " So let's get you some ice cream then"the voice from earlier said. I nodded as standing here in front of these bullies was the last place I wanted to be.

That is how i met Issabelle. She saved me from the bullies and brought me an ice cream. That's how our friendship started in the middle school and the rest is history.

-•–•—•—•–•-

It's been two weeks since the school started and I am shocked that our school hasn't found a way to take money from us. My school is of the type that through some way or the other finds a way to fill their pockets.

Currently I am sitting in my Business studies class, the only class that I don't share with Belle. But after this was lunch which means Belle would have a thousand things to tell that I missed just in one hour time span.

In the class, Our teacher gave us last five minutes free to use it for developing social skills which I used in reading the fun facts at the last page of my register. One out of them was really interesting as it read " In space, a human fart can be as deadly as a ticking time bomb".

The bell ringed and class got over, exciting every person in the room. I started walking towards the cafeteria which is more of a 'food with bacteria'. " Hey!!!! Hey, coffee boy" I heard someone approaching me. Don't be paranoid. It's just a person. No harm. You can do this.

I turned and saw Anthony smiling. " Hi" I said forcing a smile. "You remember me?"He paused for my reaction but saw none as I just wanted the conversation to be over.

I just don't like to talk to random people when there is no need. "You gave me the bracelet which I accidentally left at the bakery you work in" he said so that i could remember. I answered him with a nod.

" I'm surprised I never saw you here before." Anthony said while taking something out of his bag. " Here , take it as a thank you for giving it to me back" he said giving me a drawing in which a guy with a bag pack walking in the woods .

" I made it a while back. I thought you might like it" he said hopefully. " Yeah, it is really beautiful" I said genuinely, it was really nice. He chuckled as if he got the same response he wanted.

" So you wanted to give this to me for just doing my job. For helping a customer." I thought for a moment and said "What do you want from me? What is the reason you like the bracelet with black beads that much?" At first he got completely shocked but then answered "I might tell you it's importance some other day. But i have a favour to ask" he said making a puppy face.

I knew it.He wants something in return. I mean why would someone like him want to be friendly with an introvert nerd.

"What do you want?" I asked him bluntly. "Issabelle" he answered and regretted it within a second as I raised my eyebrow at him. " I mean to say Issabelle's phone number. She's your best friend right. So I thought you could give me her number"he said with a smile.

"9899" I started saying. " What??"he said with a confused expression. " I thought it would be a bit tough" " You want it or not. Give me something to write it on." I said and he hurriedly gave me a notebook and a pen. I wrote her number on it and gave it back.

I started walking towards cafeteria thinking that I am getting better at talking with people but suddenly someone tapped me at the shoulder. " Elliot its just eight digits here." Anthony said showing me his notebook.

" You can find the other two. It's not that hard." I said and literally ran from there. I wondered how I have changed. I can talk to someone not familiar which was hardest task for me back then. Anthony could have totally beaten me up but then also I gave him an eight digits phone number. Maybe it is all because of one person. Issabelle Adams.

"Ell, why are we both single??" Belle asked from nowhere when she got bored after thirty minutes of telling me about a fight that happened at the cheerleading practice the day before.

" Belle, it's mainly because we both are ugly and I am waiting for the love of my life"I said in return. " I don't know why you're being sarcastic these days." She said with the EWW face. " Really. Ell. Why I am single" she asked once again to which i replied.

" You're single because you are real and you deserve someone real. You deserve someone who will always love and care for you.And so as you know you will not be single for much time now.Someone is on his way to you"
Here ends our partV. What do you think will happen next??Will Anthony be able to reach out to Issabelle? A lot of drama coming soon.
