Ellison Taylor

"She is pretty." El said as he walk towards me. Compare to him I looked like I really woke up from bed. His hair styled to the side, perfectly. His uniform was neatly pressed and ironed. He smelled wonderful as he stepped closer to me.

"Get yourself together." My brain screamed at me. "But he is so drool worthy."

El looked down at me with a smile. The hallway turned completely silent. Did he just brushed off his best friend's remark? I wouldn't have expected that. I can see Ian scowling at us and I felt glad that El was standing up for me along with Claire.

Cooper shooed everyone away with his hands as he walked towards us. Even though everyone went back to what they were doing, their eyes and ears was on us.

"He didn't mean it in the rude way." Cooper said scratching his hair nervously.

"He sure did not." I said, coldly. "He should be the one apologizing and here you are apologizing on his behalf."

"He doesn't do apologies." El said.

"And you guys do it for him? He should start taking responsibilities for things he did."I said coldly.

"I know you are mad at him." Cooper said. "But he really didn't mean it in the rude way." He assured. He thinks I will trust his words?

"Peanut." Ian sat beside me in class. I glared at the poor guy who give up his seat to Ian. He put his hands together and apologize silently to me.

I turned to look at him, his brown eyes seemed genuinely worried, but I highly doubt he is.

"Stop calling me that!" I snapped at him.

"Then what is your name?" He questioned.

I raised my eyebrow at him. "What is her name?" He asked the guy beside him who simply shrugged.

"It's Ellison." I said to him.

"Okay Ellison." He said. "About the hallway."

"Forget it." I said upset that he had to bring the subject again.

"I didn't mean it in the rude way."

"Okay." I said.

"Okay?" He said simply surprised.

"What else am I going to say? You already did what you did and nothing can change what you just did."

He looked baffled.

"You want to say anything more?"

Before he could say anything more, the teacher walked in and I put a wall between us.He sat quietly throughout the class, but I felt his gaze once in a while.

When the bell rang, he was up on his feet, blocking me from going out.

"What?" I asked him.

"I didn't apologize to you." He said.

"Right. Where is my apologies?" I asked.

"I'm sorry about what I said this morning. I really didn't mean it in a rude way. It just came out rude, maybe?"

"Maybe?" I questioned. "The whole school thought it was funny! Congrats!"

"Hey peanut!" Miles, one of the guy from  our school's basketball team called me out and people started laughing.

"See? Congrats!" I said to him and pushed him away.

And next thing I heard was a groan and lots of gasp and turned around to see Ian punching Miles.

"Only I f*cking get to call her peanut and tease her. You guys better watch your damn mouth before I break them." He snapped as he kept punching Miles.

"What the heck is wrong with you?!?" I screamed at Ian whose face was so serious and angry that I was worried he couldn't hear me.

He stood up and pull me along with him, I turned to see Miles who sat up and have blood all over his mouth and nose. He for sure will involve his lawyers and sue Ian, but I doubt that Ian cares anyway.

"Did you just punch that guy and left him like that?!?" I was panicking. "Hey, we at least have to go and help him."

"Trust me, he doesn't need help." He turned to give me a smirk.

"I don't want to get expel." I panicked.

"No one is going to get expelled." He give me a haughty look.

"You don't know that."

"I for sure know that." He said as he pulled us to the gym.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

He give me a dumbfounded look. "We have gym."

"Oh great!" I said.

Gym is one of my worse enemy. Gym is the place where people "accidentally" pushes you or hits you with the ball and then say, "it was an accident."

Most of the girls usually complains about how their nails will break or how their faces will end up getting bruises after this class. One time someone asked for banned for this class, but this class is part of school's pride where athletics are born.

I see Claire waving at me and then I see her beautiful face turned into a scowl as she saw who was leading me in.

She stomped towards us and pulled me away from him. "You better stay away from her."

He give her an interesting look and smirked. "Then you stay away from Cooper."

Her mouth dropped opened and so did mine.

"W-what?" She asked baffled.

"Everyone knows how much you like him." He said in a teasing tone.

Her face was flushed and I shake my head, disapprovingly.

"What?" He asked me.

"You shouldn't tease someone like that. That's not nice." I pulled Claire with me to the changing room.

"So you mean to say, Cooper knows it too? I knew it that he doesn't feel the same way like I do." She started crying after everyone left the changing room.

I had no respond to her question. If Ian knows, it means that Cooper should know as well. I give her a hug as she bawl her eyes out and that's how we skipped the gym.

We skipped the rest of the day and went to watch a movie and there she sat crying and talking about how she was so foolish enough to think that Cooper might like her. At least there were not many people who came to watch the movie, I didn't want anyone to shout at poor Claire who was already so upset.

"I can move on." She said as she started splashing water on her face. She stood up and wiped her face. Her eyes was swollen. She give me a smile. "I can do it!"

"You can!" An older woman said who was washing her hand. "You shouldn't cry for the guy, instead he should cry because he lost the diamond."

Claire burst out laughing as the old woman smiled. "Good luck, ladies." She winked as she walked away.

"Fried chicken?" She asked me.

"Sure?" I said, unsure of how the rest of the day will be.
