Knock knock knock

I paused the t.v. to listen what the noise what, but heard nothing. I pressed play again, but heard the knocking noise again and this time I knew where it was coming from. I checked the time and saw it was 9 o'clock in the evening.

Who would be here at this time, I thought. I got up and walked to the door and saw non other than Ella herself. "What do you want?" I answered harshly. 

She smiled and pushed her way into my house, "I just wanted to see how my future wife is doing."

Future wife? "Well I was fine until you showed up and I'm not going to be your future wife. I don't even love you." I said bluntly.

She just rolled her eyes," You will love me one day and then we'll get married." 

I sighed," you have a crazy imagination." She smiled and skipped her way to the couch and sat down.

"So what are we watching?" She asked looking at the t.v. I walked to the t.v. and turned it off, "We are not watching anything, because I'm going to bed." She made a pouty face and leaned towards the coffee table where she grabbed the remote, and turned the t.v. back on. "Come on just one movie and then I'll leave." She begged. Sounds like a fair deal.

"Fine." I said. She smiled a huge smile and patted the spot next to her. It'll be too crowded if I sit there. I turned out the lights and walked over to the other end of the couch and sat down. Once I was situated, I heard shuffling noises and looked to my left and saw Ella snuggling up to me. 

"What are you doing?" I asked.

 "Just getting comfortable, now lets watch a movie." I grabbed the remote and turned it to a movie, It.

"Hey where's your parents by the way?" She asked interrupting the movie.

 "They're already in bed asleep, they had a long day. Now can you stop asking questions and watch the movie." 

 "You're so mean Ava." She then snuggled up next to me and continued to watch the movie.

During the middle of the movie I noticed Ella jumping on some scenes, I think she's happy or scared. She then lifted up my arm and wrapped it around herself while she snuggled against me, laying her head on my chest.

"Ella your hair is in my face and it's bothering me." I said blowing her hair out of my face and off my mouth.

"I don't want to move, you're too comfy and this movie is scary." So she was scared. I looked at the screen, while a killing scene was occurring, "I don't think it is."

"Well it is for me, now let me lay here, so you can protect me."

I sighed, "Fine."

The movie finally came to an end, which means Ella can finally go home and I can go to sleep. 

"Ella you can get off me now." I said, but she didn't respond. "Ella?" I said poking her arm, but again she didn't respond. I tried getting up, but she snaked her arms around my waist, not allowing me to move. I guess I'm sleeping here tonight. I turned off the t.v. and laid down as comfortably as I can on the couch, while Ella was now laying practically on top of me. She's kinda heavy, but for some reason this feels....nice.

I lifted up my hand and put it around around Ella. I don't know why I did that. But it felt right.

After a while I fell asleep.

***********

"Hey Ava wake up It's morning." I opened my eyes and saw Ella inches away from my face poking my cheek. She then smiled as she saw my eyes open," Good morning Ava." 

I rubbed my eyes and sat up on the couch. "Why didn't you go home?" 

 She smiled," Because your parents invited me to eat breakfast with you guys before we go to school." I looked at the time and saw it was 7:30 in the morning. I think I'm gonna be late to school this morning... Oh well.

"Come on let's go eat." Ella said as she dragged me to the kitchen. We proceeded to walk over to the table and sat down.

"Nice of you to finally wake up." My mom said.

I ignored her and asked, "Why did you invite Ella to stay and eat with us? She has her own house to eat in."

My mom grabbed the pan of eggs and walked over to the table placing the pan down then sat down in her seat." Ava quit being rude." She snapped.

 "Yeah meany head." Ella said smiling. She's so childish. 

" I invited her, because she's your old childhood friend and I thought it would be nice for you two to catch up." My mom said smiling at Ella then me.

I sighed and made my plate and started eating," So where's dad?"

 "He left for work early, but I decided to stay and cook breakfast for you two." Mom said smiling. "So Ella, what made your parents decide to move back here?" My mom asked looking at her. 

Ella's face fell, but she quickly covered it with a smile," My dad got an offer that would pay him more at his old job, so here we are." My mom just nodded her head and continued eating.

Once we were done I went up to my room to change, while Ella stayed and helped my mom clean up our breakfast mess.

When I walked back down I saw that my mom left and Ella was sitting at the table waiting for me.

"Did my mom leave for work? And why didn't you change?" I asked as I got the car keys and headed out of the house. "Yeah she did and I don't mind wearing an outfit more than once. Anyways your mom wanted me to tell you something." 

"What is it?" I asked as I locked the house door. "She said that you have to be nice to me and give me a ride to school and that my parents and I are coming over for dinner." She said smiling.

Great.

We got in my car and headed to school. While in the car I would glance over at Ella, who was cleaning up her face and hair. She doesn't really have to do that. She looks fine.

We ended up arriving at the school surprisingly early. I guess we weren't going to be late. I parked the car and started walking inside, but felt a warm soft hand in mine. Gross.

"Ella your hand is making my hand sweat. Let go." She stopped and looked at me and made a pouty face," pwetty pwease, wet mwe hold your hand?"

"What are you five? No I won't hold your hand." I said as I continued walking into the school. She stopped me again, but made puppy dog eyes this time.

 "Pleeeaase Ava?"

I sighed giving in, "fine. I don't see why you like doing this so much though." She smiled and grabbed my hand again as we continued our walk inside the building. AKA gates of hell.

We walked down the halls and I noticed everyone staring at us or more like staring at Ella.

I noticed some girls staring at Ava whispering or some giving her dirty looks while the guys had there mouths wide open practically drooling and whistling at her. So gross.

It wasn't long when we were stopped by a jock. More like a jerk, who goes by Steven. He smiled at her, "Hey cutie I haven't seen you around? You must be new here?" He then looked at me and back at Ella, raising a brow, "You know you have a weirdo by your side? Don't worry I'll take care of it for you." He started to grab my hand, but was stopped.

"If you lay one hand on MY Ava, I'll be sure to break every finger on your nasty little hand1" She warned him as she was holding onto his arm. He stopped what he was doing, I'm sure probably scared, and nodded his head ok.

"Good." She said then let go and smiled. He backed away slowly then turned around quickly and walked off down the hall.

Ella then looked up at everyone who was staring and continued, "That goes for everyone. If you try hurting my Ava, then you'll be dealing with me!" She then smiled at them, "My names Ella.... Ella Potter. I'm new here."

Everyone stood there staring at her not sure what to say. The bell rang and interrupting the moment and all the students quickly scattered to get there things and head to class.

Ella tilted her head and shrugged her shoulders. She then looked down at my hand, softly grabbing it. After my hand was in hers we continued walking down the hall to our classes. 

This morning has been so tiresome today...... but I don't mind.
