When I wake up I realise that I forgot to put philbert on. Crap. I check that I'm alright and feeling well and assume that I no longer need him.
"Sorry philbert, but your services are no longer needed".
I walk out the door and head for breakfast. I get to the dinning hall and see that there are only three other people there. I grab a tray and serve myself and then sit down at a table by myself.
"Heeeyyyyy" says Ally and sits down next to me. Has a tray full of food, but I didn't even see her walk in...
"Whatcha dooin?" She asks.
"Apart from eating...breathing"
"Oh hahaha" she says sarcastically.
"But seriously, I know something's on your mind, because your right eyelid is twitching"
"Wait really?"
"No. But since you asked I now know that something IS on your mind" she says with a smile at the end.
"Oh you are goooood" I say, admiring how good she was a getting people to admit things.
"So...?"
"Ah yes. I got a message last night-"
"Oooooooo was it from Ellllleeeeennnn" she says in a mocking voice.
"What? Wait...no, why would I get-"
"Oooooooo you and Ellen sitting in a tree" she begins.
"Shut up Ally"
"Sitting in a...." I put my hand over he mouth to stop her. She trys to take it off but a use my other arm to stop her. She squeals like a little girl and I take my hand off. She starts breathing heavily for a minute and continues.
"-tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G"
"Oh my fucking God Ally!!"
"What's the matter?" She says innocently. I give her a death stare, and she just grins at me.
"I'm leaving" I say and pick up my tray.
"Nonononono please don't go!! I haven't seen anybody else in like two days!! I'm so alone...please stay" she says and grasps my hand.
"Hey, what you guys d-" she says and looks at how Ally and I are holding hands.
"It's not what it looks like" I say and pull away from Ally.
"Mhm" she says and sits down next to me. Ally blushes and says:
"Well, I think I might go to the toilet for a little and leave you guys alone" and she walks away to the toilet WITH her food. Gross Ally. Gross.
"So anyway" I say, breaking that awkwardness. "how you doing?"
"Not bad" she replies. "what about you?"
"Well..."
"Hey!" Ed says from behind and makes us both jump. "sorry to interupt but Arno wants to see you in his office".
"Hhhhhh fine" I say and leave, taking one more glimpse of Ellen. When I get to the door Arno is at his desk looking straight at me.
"It's time to strike" he says.
