She Will Be Loved

Chapter 40: Happy

Liam opened the passenger door for me. I couldn't help my smile and when he laced our fingers together my smile practically grew to my ears.

I heard people instantly gossip as soon as we enter the hallways. I don't mind what's on their mind, as long as I have him by my side I'm okay.

"What's up, Lovebirds?" Lucas going in between Liam and I breaking our laced fingers. I glared at Lucas in annoyance. "What did I do?" He ask me.

"Go away!" I push him away and regain my previous position next to Liam. "Hand." I demanded as I lay my palm infront of him. He shook at me smirking but obeyed, he intertwine our fingers again and I went back to a happy mood.

"Really?! Really Ellie." Lucas complains next to Liam. "I don't like your girlfriend." He told his best friend with hand resting on his hips.

"Shut up! Your opinion is not needed." I said sticking a tongue out to him.

"Seriously? Your letting her talk to your best friend since preschool like that." He stomp his foot pointing at him acting like a 3 year old. Liam look at his best friend and just nodded. "What?!" He exclaims. I stare at him with a smug smile.

"I told you, your opinion is not needed." I wink at him.

"I don't like you both right now." He march towards Hanna and Dean who was talking by my locker. We followed him there but clearly he was badmouthing Liam and I at them. "My life is unfortunate. I'll be soon third wheeling on not just one couple but two. Fuck my life!"

"Shut up, it's not that bad." I told him and he groan at me.

"So, I guess it's official." Hanna said with arms crossed on her chest.

"I guess." I said.

She rolls her eyes at me but finally relaxed. "What else can I do now then. Just don't hurt my best friend or I'll make you wish you weren't born." Hanna said with a threatening expression.

"You should do as she say. I'm telling you, you don't want her mad." Dean patting Liam in the shoulder. "Congrats! Ellie's a sweet girl, just take good care of her."

"You don't have to tell me that, I already know." Liam giving my hand a squeeze.

"Uhg!" Lucas deeply sighs. "You all are making me want to have a drink."

"Don't be such a party pooper. Why don't you get yourself a girl of your own." Hanna says as she scowls at him.

"Not a bad idea." He snaps his finger. "Maybe Jane is available." He scans the hallway for Jane.

"He isn't clearly girlfriend material, no offense to her." I commented.

"Who the hell say I'm getting a girlfriend?" He says looking at me with disgust. "She says get a girl." He points at Hanna. When he finally spot Jane, he ready himself like a predator about to pounce on his prey. "See you later all." He then walk away and head to Jane.

"That guy is no doubt a play boy." I shook my head as they started to flirt not a minute later.

We all where talking about some random story that Hanna started. When my gaze was snatch as I saw Damon and Astrid enter the hallway, Damon's arms hang on Astrid's shoulder.

I simply check on Liam. I saw him looking at the newly arrived couple and to be honest it bothered me a little, but when he pulled his eyes away from them and look at me. I know I shouldn't doubt him so easily. He gave me smile and I did the same and it was enough.

We are currently on the table which the five of us now share. Lucas isn't here yet, Dean said he saw him with Jane entering an empty room before coming here.

I prepared some jam sandwiched before I left the house. "Here." I gave one to Liam. He took it but saw that we didn't have something to drink, he offered to by me one.

"Are you happy?" Hanna ask.

"Of course." I said taking a bite on my sandwich. "Why are you asking?"

"I just want to know." She just shrug her shoulders.

"Give the dude a chance." Dean said somehow taking my side. "People need to be given second chances."

"I just wanted to be sure that she won't drown herself crying again." She was easily irritated from her boyfriend's word. "Sorry that I'm looking after our bestfriend."

"Geez, I'm just saying." He held his hand in surrender.

"Hanna." I took her hand on mine. "It's fine, I'm fine."

"Okay." She only nods.

Liam came back with our drinks and sat back next to me. "Thanks." I said.

Lucas slump down in an empty seat by the center edge of the table. "What happened to you?" Liam ask his bestfriend. Lucas with his hair messy, his button down shirt was improperly closed and he was wearing a pissed expression.

"That girl was the worst." He slam his palm on the table with annoyance.

"She was that bad." Hanna trying to hide her laughter.

"It was going great at first, but when I move to kiss her neck I smelled something unnecessary on her armpit. I quickly back away and practically ran off." He tells his story. Making all of as laugh. "That's not funny."

"B.O is such a big no." Dean laughing hysterically.

"I could totally imagine your face as you ran away from her." Liam said laughing as well.

"Shut up." Lucas groaning at Liam in embarrassment. Making us laugh again. "I hate you guys."

I'm at the ladies room, Hanna offered to come with me but I told her I wouldn't be long. I was about to come out of the cubicle when I heard a couple of students enter while and spoke my name.

"I can't stand looking at Ellie's face. She doesn't deserve to be with Liam." My brows perked up from what I heard.

"Yeah, I totally agree." Another girl said. "Liam is so out of her league."

"She must have seduced him while doing the play with him. I can finally conclude that the kiss they shared on stage was forced. She probably insisted on that kiss." The girl with a squeaky voice earlier said.

"Oh my god! Such a slut." The girl that doesn't have anything to do but agree. I roll my eyes and flushed the toilet again before walking out, I don't want them to think that I was eavesdropping eventhough I was.

They both looked shock from seeing me. I gave them a small smile before proceeding to wash my hands. The girls looked a grade lower than me.

"Did she hear us?" The girl that I assumed that called me a slut ask her friend.

"Yes, I did." I was the one who answered her question as I dry my hands with a towel. "You were talking pretty loud. I doubt it if the people walking the hallways even heard both of you."

"So, what? We know we are speaking the truth." The girl with the squeaky voice said.

I acted like I was thinking before speaking. "Whatever! I don't care what you think or speak about me, because I don't have to prove anything to you. I'll just let you continue to be jealous of me." I said ready to walk out of the room.

"Weren't jealous of you!" The girl with a squeaky voice said and with the tone of her voice she's annoyed.

I turn to look at them both. "You aren't? Then why'd you try to bring other people down, because I know people who's jealous do that." I gave them a smile. "Have a good day." I said before finally leaving.
