Everly

Elliot once again made me feel, that I was invisible. He had Brianna tugged closed to him on Monday morning. It was annoying to see, they should have went and partied and just slept in late, rather than showing up to school and making me feel miserable.

He hid his beautiful eyes from the world with his shade. He did not greet neither Abby nor I as we walked past them.

"Everly." Aiden called out from the hallway. He wore his signature sweater, which I haven't seen in a long time.

"Hey." I said. "Sorry about." I couldn't finish my sentence as he interrupted me.

"Don't worry about that." He smiled.

"If you two love bird is ready for the day, can we go to class?" Abby asked rolling her eyes at us.

I shake my head at her nickname for us. Aiden carried my books as we walked to our first class, even though I refused his generous move to carry my books.

"I was wondering if you are free this Wednesday to go out?" He asked and I didn't have the heart to refuse him.

"Sure." I said. "Where would you like to go?"

"How about a movie and dinner?"

"How about just the movie? I have an assignment due on Friday." I said.

"Sounds great." He said. "We can do our homework together and then dinner?"

"That sounds like a good idea." I agreed and he give me a smile.

Our day went smoothly, which was unexpected as all the popular groups of our school was on campus on a Monday!

Elliot was no where to be found and rumour was he left school with some girl. That dude and his weird habit. I promised myself to ignore him the next time he tries to be nice to me. It is so unhealthy for my heart.

Fall was almost coming to an end, faster than we all expected as news was breaking that the first snow fall will take place this weekend. Everyone was so excited about the snow fall, I have no idea why? It comes every year and people are still excited in the beginning, but once it hit they complain about the cold and the hassle the snows brings for them.

"I can't wait to wear my cute beanie." Abby said as we sat on the staircase for lunch.

"You bought another one?" I questioned her, Abby have a weird thing- she dresses herself weird during summer, but during winter she dresses the cute, with beanies and scarfs and boots; while during summer she finds whatever her eyes laid first in the morning, which can be horrible as she just woke up from sleep.

"You know my love for winter." She said as she chewed her sandwich.

"I can't wait for it to end, already."

"You are no fun." She said. "Snowfall is so romantic." She sighed.

"Sure." I said as I pulled out the chips from my lunch bag and opened it.

"Elliot is so weird these days." She said what was in her mind for a while and I was so surprise it took her so long to bring this topic.

"What do you mean?" I pretended I didn't know what is going on.

"Sometime he is extremely cold with us and sometime he is warm."

"He is Elliot Walker, he is the popular kid in school. We are just like any other non-popular kids who is always left behind."

"That sounded too harsh." She winced. "I thought he was a nice lad."

"Lad? Are you serious?" I asked her.

"He is a sexy lad." She winked. "He have a sexy accent too."

I scrunched my nose this time. "Tyler will be so upset to hear this."

"He won't as long as he doesn't hear about this." She winked at me.

"What if I told him?" I smirked.

"You are so awkward around him, how will you even complain." She smirked right back and I huffed as she was right.

"You are so funny, mate." She winked at me.

"Stop trying to be English."

"And you stop trying to look like a lost puppy without the owner."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Exactly what you are thinking, you look lost when Elliot is not around."

"When?" I frowned at her.

"Too bad he doesn't notice you the way I do." She pushes me gently. "You deserve so much better."

"I know that."

"Of course you do." She sighed. "Aiden is nice too." She smiled.

"He definitely is." I smiled a little.

"You two will be so cute together."

"I thought you only supported Elliot."

"He is a trash. Look at him." She rolled her eyes at me.

"Forget about him. Why are we spoiling our mood?"

"Exactly." She said sighing.

"Why are you sighing?"

"Nothing." She lied, it was obvious that she wanted to say, but is holding back.

"Hey." We heard from behind us and almost had a mini attack because Elliot was right behind us.

"What the f^ck?" Abby cussed in horror.

He smiled and looked at us with amusement.

"What's up?" I asked, too calmly and coldly at the same time and he frowned.

"Why do you sound so rude?" He asked.

"I just asked, what's up." I said.

"And it sounded too cold." He pointed out.

"What is it, Walker?" Abby got up and glare at him.

"I just came to say Hi?" He asked, too innocently.

She scoffed, "Sure?"

"You guys are so weird, when I say hello in-front of everyone you guys get mad, when I don't, you get mad too?"

"Just forget about it." Abby said, "We are not friends anyway."

I nodded my head in agreement as Elliot pursed his lip, together.

"Right." He said and paused for a moment. "Okay, I thought you two would have liked if I spoke to the principal to open up the the room behind the school for your plants."

That perks our interest. "What?" We asked excitedly.

"We are not friends, so why should I help you?" He asked, raising his eyebrow.

"No, wait-what?" Abby questioned.

"I changed my mind." He said as he give us a teasing smile.

"No." we both said at the same time.

"Like I thought." He chuckled.

"You are so weird." Abby pointed out. He put his arm on my shoulder and said.

"I am a nice weirdo." He corrected.

"This is so cool." I said, "It would be so good if we can open up a green house."

"I know." He smiled and turned around.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

He winked at me. "It is a secret."

I frowned and he laughed. "I am going to beat up some people, you want to come?"

"Why?"

He give me a mysterious look, "I will see you after school, baby."

"Did I heard it right?" Abby asked after he left and I just shrugged after him.
