Elementation: Earth and Trees (ON HIATUS)

Chapter 16: Friendships and Hardships

Echo's POV

"Party at mine!" I exclaim, shoving a poster in Zola's face.

She looks up from her Chemistry, positively livid and yells, " ECHO YOU IDIOT!"

I jump back, "What did I do now?"

"You do realise that we live together, right?"

"Yeah...." I trail off. Okay, now I'm confused.

"And that what's mine is yours?"

"Mi Casa Tu Casa!" I confirm.
Where's she going with this?

"And you think I'm okay with you having a party in our room?"

Oh, of course. I laugh and roll my eyes, " Oh no silly! It's not in our room, it's in the senior's dorm common room!"

Her bright eyes widen, " The senior's common room?! How did you ever get them to help you?"

I shake my head.
"Simple.

I invited them."

I leave the room and walk along the corridor, my hands brushing the white cobble walls.

I put the rest of the flyers in my bag and continue towards the cafeteria.

I pick up a tray and join the line.

Suddenly, a hand taps my shoulder and spin on my heel, tray raised.

Only to find Blaze. Right.

"Hey there babe," Blaze winks and throws his arm around my shoulder.

We are supposed to be dating but, I just feel that this isn't working anymore.

So I muster up my courage and shrug his arm off my shoulders.
"Get off me!" I spit.

"Damn, Echo chill. What's wrong?"

I stay silent, glaring.

He smiles and says,"Here let me cheer you up! Hmm, how about a joke?"

If he tells a period joke I swear I'll-

"So this guy walks into a bar and says to this girl, 'Right let's go to your place for the frickle-frackle'

She says 'No I'm on my period. But you can come in for a drink.'

The guy then says 'What do you think I am? A frigging vampire?!"

Blaze bursts out laughing at his own joke.

That's when I lose it.

"SHUT UP! LEAVE ME ALONE!" I storm off outside with my lunch to our usual table.

Chase and Aria are at it again, which makes me want to puke.

I don't know where Joe or Nicole are and... is that Aqua?!

Flirting with Jake?!

Blaze comes up and sits next to me, "Look, that joke was stupid, I'm sorry."

Of course he would think it's the joke.

"You think this is about the joke?" I snarl.

"Well, what else would it be?" He replies, exasperatedly, running his fingers through his hair.

"Nothing you would know." I huff and turn away from his face.

He puts his hand on my shoulder.

"WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS IN MY WAY?!" I explode, spinning around.

"It just feels like you never talk to me anymore!" Blaze cries, throwing his hands up in the air.
