Chapter 1: The Pack Of Skittles

This chapter is dedicated to ClumzCookiez and Dakota for this cute cover above! Thank you so much!🥰

🍪Ellie's P.O.V

Baby, you light up my world like nobody else.

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed.

But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell.

You don't know, oh oh.

You don't know, you're—

I let out a sleepy groan, my hand fumbling blindly to turn off my blasting alarm and let out a sleepy sigh, today is my first day being a senior high student in Triston High.

YAY LIFE! Note the extra sarcasm on that exclamation point.

I lazily forced my body to move out of the bed and started stretching my sore muscles. I fixed my bed before making my way into the bathroom.

The sight in the mirror definitely made me grimace.

I could totally applaud the director of the frozen movie where Anna wakes up looking like every typical female in the morning.

My ghostly blonde hair was in a complete bird's nest. My skin tone was a neutral shade but you could easily tell when I'm blushing. I wiped the dried drool away from the corner of my chapped lips before rubbing my pointer finger furiously on it to get rid of the dead skin. Not exactly a good thing to do but heh, my eyes were a striking shade of ocean blue that contrasted with my hair.

Let's not forget my eyebags that were screaming good morning to me.

I turned to side and lifted my loose tank top up, feeling completely disappointed at the fact that everything was flat and when I mean everything, I meant even my boobs. I was on the skinny side and my 5'5 height made me look like a matchstick slapped unto one another to form a body with the box being my head.

"Why did I freaking finish that stupid series up until two a.m?" I muttered out, proceeding to strip off my clothes and hop in the shower.

10 minute showers were my fortè.

I decided to wear my comfy leggings, an oversized stripe shirt, and paired it off with my white converse. I left my hair to dry freely but not before applying some chapstick on my lips and made my way downstairs.

"Good Morning mom." I greeted, giving her a peck on the check.

"Good morning dear! Are you excited? Today's your first day." She beamed up to me, her motherly smile giving me a familiar sense of warmth.

At the age of forty, my mom could still make head turns with her beauty. She had a gorgeous shade of dark green eyes and we both have the same hair color although her hair was much shorter than mine.

"I could already feel the burden of school works on my shoulder," I answered, a tired sigh leaving my lips.

"You'll live," She rolled her eyes, patting my cheek in a motherly way.

"Ow my gowd! Hahaha Mowther! Welp me! Daddy's being a big scawy dinoshor!"

We both turned at the voice of my three year old brother, Theodore, shouting hysterically at my Dad who was chasing him in his police uniform.

"Robert! Stop scaring my baby!" Mom scolded but I could tell from the way her green eyes twinkled, she was amused.

At the sound of her voice, my dad stopped before turning to look at her with a pout on his face.

One glance at my dad and you could easily tell where I got my eyes from. He had dark hair that is usually styled by my mom and his caramel skin that I envy a lot.

"I thought I was your baby," My dad said, making his way towards my mom and wrapping an arm around her waist.

My nose wrinkled in distaste at their obvious PDA.

"Ewwie," Theodore called out, pulling lightly at my shirt.

Theodore was the epitome of adorable. He had doe green eyes that worked wonders in getting what he wants, a chubby cheeks that earned a lot of coos from others, and brown hair that he got from my dad.

I looked down and saw him pointing at something that was placed on the table. I let out a groan when I realized what it was.

"Mooom! Theo wants my cookies again!" I complained, this time, it was my turn to act childishly.

Hold up.

I am not greedy, I would share anything to anyone except for underwear because duh but we all know in every wattpad character, there's one food that is completely off limits.

And in this case, that is Nana Charlotte's home made chocolate chip cookies.

"Give him some, there's still some in your container." She nodded at the huge jar at the corner where my cookies were safely stored.

I heaved a sigh, knowing that I had no choice. I opened the jar and took one out, handing it to Theodore who was squealing happily.

I glanced at my watch and felt myself pale upon seeing the time. 20 minutes left?! What the hell? I thought I woke up on time?!

I hastily took the pack of cookies and stuffed them in my bag."I'm don't wanna be late! Bye mom! Dad! Theodore! See you later! Love you!" I gave each one of them a kiss on the cheek before dashing out of kitchen.

My house was just near the school and is usually a fifteen minute walk from my house. I liked to walk because it helps calm my nerves so I don't bother my parents for a drive.

And also because I'm hoping that maybe my ass would somehow grow big and I would gain muscles at the end of each walk.

Why the hell was I even late? I didn't even have my breakfast yet! Screw my eye sight! I probably had to snooze my alarm off a few times before finally waking up.

At the sight of the school entrance, I went to a full stop from my running marathon and panted heavily. My hands rested lightly on my knees as I glanced at my watch.

I couldn't help but do a little happy dance at the fact that I still had 10 minutes to spare before stopping abruptly when I notice a few students eyeing me weirdly.

I cleared my throat, pushing some of my hair behind my ear before walking towards the entrance with red staining both my cheeks.

I entered the school doors, the familiar scent of lavender greeting my senses. I looked at rows of lockers that framed the hallway and the students that were chatting animatedly to their chosen groups.

The populars, consisted of the jocks were goofing around the hallway with the typical flirty cheerleaders that were boasting about how their summer went. The nerds were quietly talking to one another, all the while double checking wether they carried the right books or not. The loners were casually leaning unto their lockers with headphones stuck on their ears as they eyed the hallway lazily.

I made my way to my locker and saw my best friend, Ark, already there and was typing furiously on her phone.

At the sight of me, she let out a huge sigh."Oh thank the beatles! You actually came before the bell rang! I thought you were going to be late again," She pulled me in for a short hug and started rambling about how my snooze off tendencies were not welcome in college.

We weren't part of the popular crowd, far from it actually. We were just us, two good girls who were trying to finish off their senior high with the right bang.

I was snapped out of my thoughts at the loud noise that resonated in the hallway. Dreamy sighs and excited chatters were heard from the girls who were now fixing their appearances hastily and almost everybody went quiet.

Everybody suddenly held their breath, the anticipation in the air was so strong that I could choke on it. My eyes moved to entrance doors and realized why they were all acting like this.

The pack of skittles had arrived.

The five of them strolled in without a care in the world, chatting to one another with devilishly smirks plastered on their faces.

My eyes followed their every move like every hormonal teenage girl in the hallway that was staring at them like indeed a pack of skittles.

Don't look at me like that, I love skittles too.

Each one being a distinctive flavor in that pack of skittles.

The fact that each pack consists of five flavors and there's five of them somehow made me believe that maybe, they were a pack of skittles in their life time before hence why Ark and I decided to name their group 'pack of skittles'

Yes, I'm funny like that.

The group exclusively consist of Valentino Fedeli, Chase Devion, The twins: Hayden and Jayden Mckinley, and let's not forget the the baddest of them all, Alec King.

Valentino Fedeli. He's known as "The Troublemaker" of the group. From pranking rude jocks, to stuck up teachers, and even the freaking principal! He has dark blonde hair that goes along with his mischievous forest green eyes, pink lips that were usually in a smirk and a nice body figure that had most of the girls drooling.

Chase Devion has earned himself the title as "The Fighter" in the group. I could tell why from his 6'3 frame and bulging muscles that could seem like he can crush you in his bare hands. Out of the five, he was the one that looked the most intimidating with his wavy dark hair and obisdian eyes that can make you wonder wether werewolves were real.

Jaden and Haden Mckinley were the brain of the group. Despite being considered as one of the bad boys, they actually studied and can hack into accounts easily. They looked less intimidating with their brown curly hair and cool shade of grey eyes. I didn't know how to differentiate them though, it was hard and I resorted to calling them twin 1 and twin 2.

Alec King. Like his last name, his presence alone was enough to shut someone up. He was devastingly gorgeous with his captivating electric blue eyes, dark brown hair that was usually styled in a 'i just got out of bed' look, and lips that were to die for. The 6'4 figure of his easily towers the rest of them and could intimidate anyone. I felt myself gulp at the way his muscles and jaw flexes every time he unconsciously becomes tense.

When we were in sophomore year, Alec beated the peanuts out of a senior for bullying the twins for being 'too smart' and accused them of being gay.

Rumors have been flying around since then that they were in a gang. Something about all of them having the same tattoo on the same area and one of them was rumored to be seen fighting from someone in a gang down town.

It remained a rumors though, their group was exclusive and nobody would dare to get in their way or even become friends with them. Heck, even the jocks were tense everytime they were around.

They all passed by, acting oblivious to the stares that were given to them. Except Valentino who gave a few winks here and there; twin #1 was teasing a rather glaring Chase, and Alec was smirking at something twin #2 said.

The chatter went back up the moment they turned around the corner and I felt myself release a sigh.

Those boys were intense and I couldn't believe that guys like them existed, considering how they were gifted with such good looks.

The bell rang, earning a few groans from the students. I quickly took out the books that I needed before starting to head to my first class with Ark in tow.

"Valentino is one fine specimen. One that I would ugh all day long if given the chance." Ark sighed dreamily, her eyes closing in complete bliss for a moment.

I smacked her arm,"That's too much information A, but who knows you might end up together." I teased her, bumping my shoulders to hers.

We entered the classroom, choosing to sing on the last row, near the window. Yes, the last row where all the funny memories usually happen and a perfect spot to eat my cookies discreetly.

"I'll wait for that day and when that comes, I'll treat you ice cream." She promised, a smile on her lips

Mr. Bell entered, the chatter immediately dying down. He slammed his binders unto the table before looking up to us with a smile that was anything but pleasant.

Let the class begin.

At the sound of the bell ringing, I jumped out of my seat and shoved my things into my bag without a second thought. It was the end of fourth period and I was excited to the core.

I dashed my way into the cafeteria, bumping into a few students and muttering sorry along the way. Ark and I parted ways in second period since she had chemistry while I had pre-calculus.

I entered the cafeteria doors and scanned the area, I spotted Ark who was already on our table and made my towards her.

"What's up?" I greeted her, excitement bubbling in me at the thought of eating my cookies.

"I prefer down," She joked, taking a bite out of her apple.

I rolled my eyes,"You're pervert A," I said, an amused smile gracing my lips.

She shrugged playfully,"Want a bite boo?" She asked, offering me her apple.

I shook my head,"Nope, I brought my cookies today!"I exclaimed, all the while my hand was fumbling inside my bag to pull out my pack of cookies.

A frown graced my lips when my hand touched nothing but my pencil case. I turned my attention to my bag and started looking for it but it wasn't there.

"What the hell? Where is it?" I wondered out, taking some of my stuff out of my bag.

A few minutes later, my empty bag and some of my stuff were messily placed unto the cafeteria table.

My stomach grumbled hungrily and I wanted to smack my head unto the table for being an oblivious idiot.

"Calm down boo, Maybe it just fell along the way." Ark suggested, noticing my panicked state.

Ark knew my deep love for my cookies. Eating it is one of my ultimate passion and the fact that it was made by Nana Charlotte made it even more meaningful.

I took a deep breath,"You're right. I'll just scout the area. I was rushing like an idiot and it probably fell off." I realized my bag was closed halfway and it probably fell out.

I let out a small sigh of relief when I saw it laying in front of the cafeteria doors. Some students took the time to avoid stepping on it and didn't even bother to pick it up.

Good, I didn't want to end up in detention because of a pack of cookies. It's freaking food for peanut's sake! Anyone would fight someone for their food, right?

I was already making my way towards it when suddenly, the cafeteria doors opened and the pack of skittles strolled in, gaining the attention of everyone and making me halt on my steps.

Alec and the twins were laughing like hyenas at what I assume something that Valentino told them and Chase was looking at them with a half-smile that made him less intimidating.

At the sight of their gorgeous faces, I felt myself be pulled into the familiar daze and stare at them in complete awe.

That was until a crunch resonated into the silent cafeteria did I realized that my cookies were now smothered into pieces by Alec King's huge ass feet.

Alec stopped laughing and looked down to see what he stepped on, he picked up my pack of cookies and looked at it for a moment before opening it without a care in the world and took a bite out of my precious chocolate chip cookies.

I felt horror slam into me and my mouth fell into a gape at the sight of the bad boy stuffing my supposed to be precious happiness into his mouth instead.

"That's mine!"

It took me a complete five seconds to realize that those words came out of my mouth and now, almost everyone including the pack of skittles were looking at me with bewilderment.

Alec, who had his eyes closed in complete bliss from taking a bite of my precious cookie, opened his electric blue ones to meet my angry ones.

He lifted the pack of cookies in his hand and turned it around a few times, seeming to look for something but found none and instead turned his gaze back to me.

"I don't see your name on it," He shrugged before taking another cookie out and taking a bite.

My feet carried me to him before I knew it and I was now standing in front of the school's most gorgeous pack of skittles.

"I don't see your name on it either," I snapped back, glaring at his hand that was holding my happiness.

A few students let out horrified gasps at my remark and I could feel Ark's facepalm all the way from where I stood. Yeah, sorry Ark but you know how I love my cookies.

"I found it so this technically makes it mine." He pointed out, a smug smirk gracing his features.

Anytime, I would've melted at the handsome sight but considering this bloody skittle just claimed something that's mine completely threw my awe out of the window and replaced it with cold fury.

I crossed my arms defiantly,"Listen here buddy, you either give back what's mine or we do this the hard way," I threatened, my glare not wavering one bit.

Who did this freaking skittle think he was? Voldemort? That pack of cookies is mine and I'd be damned if I let it go without a fight.

He suddenly gave me a cold stare, one that could make anyone turn their backs and walk away without a second thought.

Not me, though. Nope. Nu uh.

Without breaking eye contact, he let go of my pack of cookies and let it fall into the ground, my heart breaking into piece as he stomped unto my precious food.

An amused expression crossed his face as he looked up at me,"What are you gonna do about it tesoro?" He taunted.

Tesoro? TESORO? Does he freaking mean I look like a freaking bull? Oh hell to the no!

"I'd gladly show you," I sneered, before doing something that every typical female would do.

Kicked him where the sun doesn't shine.

I felt absolute no remorse upon seeing his beautiful smirk contort into a painful grimace. I glanced down to my smothered cookies on the ground.

I have avenged you my love.

I nodded in complete satisfaction, ignoring the complete look of horror that everyone was giving me.

"You owe me a pack of cookies," I glared at him one last time, before making my way out of the cafeteria and into the nearest bathroom.

I couldn't stop the tears that streamed down my face. The adrenaline finally subsided and all I felt was complete anger. You can call me weird but when I get really frustrated, I tend to cry it all out.

"Stupid skittle," I sniffled, turning the toilet lid down and sitting down on it.

After twenty minutes of pouring my frustrations out, I finally decided to go to whatever period was next. The bell had already rang and I was considered ten minutes late.

I didn't even had my belongings with me, only my phone. Ark already texted me that she placed it back into my locker and
