Hope For The Worst

Chapter 2

We both ran out to the hallway laughing. That was quite an embarrassing scene but it was very funny. I couldn't stop laughing and Elvis made me laugh the more.

"Oh god, I swear that was so hilarious"

I said admist laughter.

"I swear first day of school and we both get kicked out of class...... Legends"

"Im telling ya"

I said with my peace fingers up.

"Shhh...... Classes are on going. Keep it down".

"Oh..... Right".

We were walking now.

"So what are we doing now?"

He asked me.

"I don't know, wait for the end of the class and attend the next one. How much time I left?"

He checked his wrist watch.

"Thirty more minutes"

"Wow..... What are we going to do for thirty whole minutes".

"Its a good opportunity to check out the school and walk around".

He said raising one brow up. It sounded like he was suggesting and waiting for my approval.

"You cool?"

He asked .

"Yeah I'm in. Let's go".

We walked around the school from the front. No kidding, this school is actually big and beautiful. By the right corner, there's this water fall of three cupids holding their bows and arrows, standing on one foot..... It was so cute. I think it represents the Brooks University thingy. I stood there and dipped my hand in the water.

"Make a wish"

Elvis told me and gave me a coin.

Just then I noticed it was a wishing well, so many coins were in the water........ Classic though. I collected the coin.

"To find happiness and be happy all the way"

"Cheers to happiness"

Elvis said and we flipped the coin into the well. We stayed silent for a while, I was still sweeping my hand in the water.

"Hey do you want to see something amazing?"

He asked.

"Of course, show me"

"Come on"

He said and held my hand to follow him.

Weird but I don't know why I felt a tingle in my stomach when I felt his soft hands...... So stupid....... This is how it starts. I hissed in my head......

Concentrate.

We walked straight and by the right corner, he took me to a place that looked like a pink and red rose garden. I guess its a place for students to chill out and read. It is so big and beautiful, I inhaled the fresh rosy perfumed air around me, cute little butterflies that flew around greeting me.

I went to the first table and sat on the table. Elvis came and sat beside me.

"How do you see this place?"

I was still mesmerized by everything, I struggled to find the right words.

"This place..... This place is...... Amazing"

I said and choked out a bit of laughter.

"I honestly can't find the right words to fit this place".

I continued. God help me, I was literally drooling at this place.

"I know right"

He said and laughed. He was impressed with the way I looked.

"So you were saying?"

He asked.

"Saying what?"

"Tell me about yourself"

"Oh.... That. Okay so I'm Ella Josiah, I'm 18 years old, I come from East Miami......"

"Wait...... Chill, you're from Miami?...... You're a party girl then"

He said smiling.

"Stop being stereotypical"

I said laughing.

"But yeah, I'm a party girl".

I said and laughed, he joined me.

"That's cool"

"So..... I love swimming, I love shopping and goshhhhh...... I love food"

I said and stressed on the gosh. I actually love food though, very much. Everyone knows that.

Elvis laughed so hard at this, I wasn't surprised though it is the same reaction I get from every other person I say this too..... He probably thinks I'm joking.... I'm fucking not.

"So what's your specialty?"

"Junks, pizzas and burritos..... Don't mess with me on that"

I said and laughed. He laughed too.

"Oh my word I love burritos too"

He said and continued laughing.

"Do you love movies?"

He asked.

I nodded.

"What type?"

"Thrillers, horror"

"I love horrors the most"

"I think they're funny..... The whole scary shit and all"

"Do you dance?"

I shook my head no.

"I'm learning"

I added.

"I could teach you"

"No problem"

"You love music?"

"I'm a freak"

"Whats your genre?"

"Hip hop"

"Ouuu says the party girl"

I laughed.

"Duuhh what do you expect? Don't judge me"

"No I think its cool"

I took out my phone from my back pocket and took a picture of this serene. Its worth the show.

"You take pictures?"

"I'm a photographer"

"Woah...... Girl you're on fire"

"I know, I know, tell me about it"

I said pretending to sweep imaginary hair from my shoulders. He laughed.

"Hey......."

I said.

He looked up at me.

"What?"

He asked.

"What time does our next class start?"

"9:30, why?"

He said and checked the time on his wrist watch to see the time....... It said 9:35. He stared at me in surprise and I stared back. Without saying a word, we both raced back to class.
