Finding Love With You
Chapter 1: Sloppy
It's lunch time and so, like clockwork, I head to our usual spot. Which is the empty classroom next to the School's garden.
I was about to call him but I stopped. I heard someone else's voice coming from inside the room
Ellie (Lie)
*Peek* Whoa... Charlotte
Charlotte is the campus beauty. She's from my class but we never really talk since she rather be with her popular circle of friends.
Ellie (Lie)
Why is she here...? *mumbles*
I stepped a little closer so that I will be able to hear what they we're talking about.
Charlotte
I really like you for a long time now!
Charlotte
So in the festival.....Wi-Will you go with me?
Awwtss.... Even the most beautiful girl have a crush on him huh....
Ace
I don't really care about the festival so sure. But, your confession. I need to think about it
Ellie (Lie)
What did i expect to happe_
Matthew
OY! LIE, why are you hiding there?!
Matthew suddenly called out my name loud enough for both Ace and Charlotte to hear
I immediately covered Mat's mouth. But then, It was too late. Ace and Charlotte are already standing infront of me.
Ace
El...what are you doing in there?....
Charlotte
Eavesdropping. Really Ellie?
I'm embarrassed that I got caught and so I ran off.
Ellie (Lie)
What the f*ck. Ace stop chasing me!
Ace
If you don't want to be chased then stop running!
I continued to run with Ace slowly catching up to my speed.
I look back and before I knew it, I ended up stumbling in a bucket of mop water.
I don't know if it's because of me feeling embarrassed....but my heart somewhat skipped a beat as soon as he grabbed me.
Ellie (Lie)
*Slap his hands*
Ellie (Lie)
Do-Don't touch me. The mop water's dirty. *flushed*
He tried to help me again but looks like someone else catched up to us.
Charlotte
*Looks at Ellie* Ewww....Why are you soaked?
Matthew
Lie....*Grab Ellie's arms*
I was able to stand up without slipping with a help of Matthew.
Ace and Matthew looked away
Ellie (Lie)
*Confused* what?
Both of them Handed me their jackets....And so I figured what they were awkward about.
Ellie (Lie)
Shi********!!!!!!!
I was planning to take Ace's jacket but then Charlotte quickly handed me Matthew's jacket before I even reach Ace's...
Ace and I stared at eachother awkwardly as his hand was left in the air holding his own jacket.
He said retreating his hands
Matthew
D*mn this uniform. It's the uniform's fault since the fabric is too thin
Charlotte
Ellie you really are Sloppy like they said.
'Sloppy' a word I'm used to if it was being use by Ace or my other two friends....Why does it hurt when others are the one using it to me
Ellie (Lie)
*Smiled Bitterly* Sorry, hahah
I look at the Juniors who owns the bucket full of mop water.
Ellie (Lie)
I'll just fetch a new one....sorry for the trouble.
I'm embarrassed enough. Why can't this just stop?...
Why do I keep Embarrassing myself. I'm pathetic
Ellie (Lie)
*grab the bucket *
Matthew
*Grab my wrist* I'll do that. Just change your clothes, you'll catch a cold
Ace wasn't able to finish his sentence when Charlotte suddenly cling onto his arms.
Ellie (Lie)
Ahhahaha.....You two look so good together
Words that I wish was a lie.
They do look good together
Chapter 2: Love or Just Feeling new?
Matthew
You were hurt aren't you.
I look at Matt who's already looking straight into my face.
Ace, Matthew, Mia and I are actually living in the same House. We've been living together since junior high.
Ellie (Lie)
You mean Charlotte?
Ellie (Lie)
Hmmm....I am n-
Matthew
Don't even try to hide it. I know you were
Matthew
By your expression and all.... you're like an open book
Ellie (Lie)
*Sigh* Do you think he notice it?
Matthew
Because he's blind.
Matthew
Well not literally but you know....
Mia
Hmm? Why are you having a conversation without meee?!!
Mia jumped onto my bed and hugged me
Mia
Hayststst...Lie is so cute as always
Matthew
She is. Right? *Chuckles*
Mia
Say,,, what were you talking about
Matthew
It's about what happened this morning.
Matthew
Charlotte is being clingy to our Ace. They're not even together
Mia
Ah right, That girl with a dirty blond hair that looks like a living filter?
Mia
You know that girl is kinda two face
Matthew
Kinda? Bro don't even try to sugarcoat it. SHE IS TWO FACE
Mia
Shhh.....Hey *Tap Ellie's cheeks*
Mia
Why do you look so sad?
Ellie (Lie)
I don't know....either
Matthew
It's about Ace. I can see it.
Matthew
Really? Don't lie.
Ellie (Lie)
Charlotte asked him to go to the festival together.
Matthew
But, Ellie it's ok right? I mean all these years the two of you are always together in every event_ Oh sh*t......Ellie are you perhaps inlove with him?
Matthew
This is jealousy right?
Mia
Maybe she's sad because she's used to him always being around in every event
Mia
Don't just jump into a conclusion
Ellie (Lie)
I think I do....
Ellie (Lie)
What do I do...?
Just before Ace was able to enter my room, the two suddenly asked me to lie down and covered me up by a blanket
Mia
W-welcome back ahhahaha
Matthew
Yeah bro ahahhaa welcome back home
Ace
Why are you both acting weird?
Mia
Acting weird? Pfft hahaha we're not, we're not. Right Matt? *Slaps Matt's back*
Matthew
Of course (Silently screaming in pain)
Ace
It's ok, I always wake her up once i got home.
Mia
He-Hey! hey! Hahahahahha why don't we eat? I'm hungry already
Matthew
Yeah right let's eat
Mia
She's sleeping so better not wake her up
Matthew
Now, now bro let's just go and let Ellie rest. Afterall, a lot of things happened today she must be very VERY tired.
I heard them coming out of my room and closing the door.
Am I really Inlove Or Am I feeling new?
Chapter 3: A festival Problem
It's the day of the festival
Everything is colorful and lively. Mia looks super good with her dress. But then here I am, left at home... There's no point going anyways
I covered my self up by a blanket
Bored, I just want to do something but I can't seem to think of anything to do
*Ting!* (Phone Notification)
I slowly reached my phone
Theo
Hey (Sent 2 minutes ago)
Theo
I heard that you don't have a partner for the festival?
Ellie (Lie)
I don't feel like going
Theo
I'll pick you up. Get ready
Ellie (Lie)
He's really pushy sometimes
I covered my self up with a blanket again and just close my eyes.
I heard the doorbell continuesly ring
A yell that makes my soul jumped out of my body
Ellie (Lie)
I thought he is just.
I ran towards the door and opened it. Seeing Theo standing up in front of me
Theo
I told you to get ready
Ellie (Lie)
I'm too lazy to do what you said
Ellie (Lie)
Plus, I thought you were joking
Theo
Since when did I joke around? *leaning close to Ellie's face*
Ellie (Lie)
*Covering his face with both hands* Learn how to keep your distance
Theo
*Hands Up* Sorry, Sorry you're just too cute for me to handle
Theo
You always know where he is
Ellie (Lie)
Well, Now I don't.
Ellie (Lie)
Don't ask. Just sit there and wait
I go upstairs to shower and change my clothes aswell
I wore the dress that I'm suppose to wear today....(with ace as my partner)
*coming downstairs wearing a
I saw Theo stunned as he saw me wearing a pink and white colored dress. He smiles
Theo
You look so Fine. D*mn
Theo
What do you want to eat?
Ellie (Lie)
You decide... I'm not that picky
Theo
What about barbecue then?
I don't know why I even agreed to attend this festival...but as long as he's happy then i guess it's ok.
Following Theo's steps.....We ended up in a store that sells different types of barbecues...
Squid, Pork, Chicken feet and etc
I was about to pick mine when suddenly, A hand bumped into my hand
She's the person i don't want to see the most today
Charlotte
Ace...look it's Ellie *Grab Ace's arms and pull him*
Ellie (Lie)
I am. *Looks away trying to avoid his eyes*
Theo
Hi Ace, It's great to see you here with.....A partner, of course none other than Charlotte
Ace
*Cold Gaze* Why are you with her?
Theo
What? Ah Ellie? I invited her *Smirk*
Ace look straight to my eyes.
Theo
Do you want her to ask you first before agreeing? What are you her Guardian? Body guard? Or are you perhaps her parent?
Ace
I am neither of those.
Ace stepped closer. Lean a little and seemed to have whispered something into Theo's ears
Theo
Real scary. *Sarcastically*
The mood changes and the air around us somewhat become heavier than before.
Theo
Well, I guess I'll be enjoying this night. *grab Ellie's waist*
Matthew
Or perhaps you'll not.
A sudden voice that comes from my back. Theo's hand was quickly removed from my waist.
Mia
Stop doing that if you want to keep your hands attached to your body.
Matthew
Of course. I asked Mia to dat_
Matthew
Anyway. What do you want? *Switching his stare to Theo*
Matthew
Why did you invited her?
Theo
I want her to have fun.
Theo
I'm not a type of friend who'll just leave someone by their own. Not like you guys.
Mia
What are you implying in here?
Matthew
You're long gone from this circle so why do you come back and act like you did nothing ?
Theo
I like Ellie and It bothers me to see her alone.
Theo
You. With your new Girl. *Staring to Ace* Leaving someone who you always have by your side just to date someone else. Don't you think that's shitty?
Ace
Charlotte and I are not in that kind of relationship
Theo
That's the same thing. You go out as friends. You date. You become a couple and you f*ck
Ace
Watch you mouth Theo Florence!
Ellie (Lie)
They have their own lives. It's not right to have their worlds to just revolve around me.
Ellie (Lie)
They have their own responsibilities and stuffs to do so, It's ok
Ellie (Lie)
Just stop. You're just making the distance between you and them a lot worse.
Theo
So I'm the one wrong again?
Theo
I was just trying to treasure you
Ellie (Lie)
You guys. Can't you just forgive him? It's been a long time now. And I know YOU know that it's not entirely his fault.
Ellie (Lie)
Blake won't be happy to see us like this.
Ellie (Lie)
I'll go now. Suddenly the Festival don't feel as good as it did before.
I emptily said and walked away
