✮      E.C.
➶      hospital
ᝰ.ᐟ   love (?)

Dear students of Eastwood High, we have always wondered 'How can E.C. keep her cool in every situation?' This time we got it.
She lost it (hopefully her mind) in the middle of her driveway. You should have seen her, she was withering in pain. I almost didn't want to write this. Luckily for her there for only FIVE people who saw her like this. Maybe even G.R. saw her. But she was too consumed in her own attacks to help E. Did G really thought I will forgive her? E.C. is in the hospital right now as we speak. She looks as if somebody slashed her arm in half? Or did somebody actually did it? G.R. really needs to control her anxiety, we don't want to have a second incident because of that, now, do we?
Follow us to be keep on updated.
This is Simon, signing off.
p.s. This is nothing that B.W. did. Maybe we gotta ask N.J. 'cause apparently they are dating.

I left the classroom as soon as I could. Breathing a sigh of relief when I saw Bloom. The news of us dating had shocked most of the school and many started to hate Bloom because of that. Just as I was trying to hide from the cheerleading team, my mate Lucas called me out, exposing me to the cheerleading team. I groaned internally as they surrounded me. Soon, they started saying shit.

"Are you sure you are with her? I mean I can be so much better. Just try, my baby."

"Oh, please, leave that girl alone and be with me. I swear I can make you happy."

"How can you even be with a girl like her? I mean she is not even pretty."

"Yeah! I bet that you are amazing in bed, and she is just taking an advantage of you. Oh, my poor baby!"

"She is such a slut! I mean.."

That was it. No one calls her that. "I am warning you for the last time, Cherry's little minions. If any body and I mean anybody says something about my girl. I will make sure that you will regret it. Understood?"
They all just made faces and walked away. I could see Bloom standing there, tears in her eyes. I walked towards her and grabbed her head in my hands. "Please don't cry, my love. They are just jealous of you. You don't deserve this shit. I am honestly the lucky one here." She let out a chuckle and said, "You're the lucky one? Yeah right!" She wiped her tears and I wrapped my hand around her shoulder "I. am. the lucky. one. Kapeesh?"
She let out another chuckle, "Yeah, Kapeesh." I kissed the side of her head and we went towards the ground. "I love you, my love." I whispered in her ear.
She turned red and hid her face in my chest. "I love you too." I don't think I have ever smiled so hard in my lifetime. She is the one. We caught Mia in the way and I wrapped my other hand around her neck and said, "What's up, little Dylan?" She groaned and muttered, "I'm not little Dylan, alright? I'm a big girl." She smiled at Bloom and I wondered if she knows. "Mi, did you tell Noah about yesterday?" Bloom whispered to her, but I could still hear her. I went ahead towards the field where I am supposed to be practising in about an hour. I could see Lucas and his friend, James I think, on the sidelines.  They were laughing and eating sometimg.
"Noooah! Come on fast, I'm super hungry." I returned back to them and took my sandwich from Mia. I sat down next to Bloom and brought her closer. "Ugh! Are you always going to do it this? Am I going to be a third wheeler?" I laughed a little at her and Bloom shaked her head. "If anyone is a third-wheeler, it's definitely me. Have you seen yourself when you both met each other, even after 5 minutes?" I said, whine like, trying to uplift her mood. She laughed and smiled at me muttering a small 'thanks'. She then turned serious and said. "I have to say you about yesterday. Something happened with me and James." I got confused. "Did you guys kissed?" Mia's face turned into disgust and shaked her head. "No. God no! We saw something. Someone actually. It was Emma..."

She told me her entire event of last evening while I stood dumbfounded.
"So... you found her like this?" She nodded. "And, didn't do anything?" Bloom suddenly got in the middle and said "To be honest, I disagree with James. Who cares if people say that you did something. You did not do it. You know and Cooper knows, so it doesn't matter about other people. I think James played a very stupid move. You left her like that and she got wounded, maybe if had'nt left she would've been saved." I could sense the anger off of Mia. "Since when did you care so much about her? And why are you trying to blame that guy? I know you don't like him but Jesus christ! It's like you want me to hate him." She stood up and I followed her, trying to calm her down. "Oh! Oh! I'm trying to make you? Please! That guy is a useless person and he is giving you false hope, Mia. Your situations aren't that bad, okay? You don't need to move out and leave everything behind. Stop listening to him 'cause he is always lying!!" Bloom replied, red in face. I could really tell Mia the truth but right now, she needed my support. So does Bloom, your girlfriend. I placed my hand on both the girls' shoulders, who had stood up, facing each other. "Guys, please calm down okay? Bloom, darling, please sit down, have some water and I will be with Mia." She sits down but Mia says, "No need, Noah. It's okay, you stay here with your girlfriend. I will just leave. Maybe even go meet James." I could see the last part was to burn Bloom up which did it's part. But I reminded her to calm down. We can't really turn our backs on each other. I turned Mia around and forced her to have a walk with me.
She is my best friend, I need to be there for her. What about your girlfriend? I sigh quietly. "Noah? Don't worry about me. Go to her. Trust me. I will just take a walk. I will be fine." She pushes me and I still don't buldge. "Doesn't James have a girlfriend? That Rory something?" I ask her, confirming. "Nah, she isn't her girlfriend. They are just friends; like us." She says but I don't believe her. I look at her once again and walk backwards.
"I just hope you know what you're doing. Mi, I know you like that boy. I know that Bloom knows too. That's why she is warning you. Bring that boy of yours around sometime, so that she knows that you know who is good." She pauses to think, then she nods. "Yeah sure. I will bring him around. Also, the thing you said earlier..?" I smile, "What, that you
like the Jamesie boy?" She nods. "Yeah, about that. I don't like him okay?" I laughed, loudly. "Yeah sure, Mi. Take care. I will see you tomorrow. Don't do anything I wouldn't." I wink at her and turn around. I can hear her laughing at me, probably shaking her head.
It is going to be okay.
Or atleast I hope so. I still have to talk to Bloom.
I could see her sitting there with a water bottle in her hand. She looked at the field, her hair moving around her. Making her look like a goddess. She tilted her head to one side, enjoying the air as much as she can before it starts to rain. God, I love her so much. She turned around as if she could sense me comingin her direction. She smiled slightly and patted the space next to her. I sat down next to her and asked softly, "Are you okay, darling?" She just smiles "Of course. You are here. It's enough."
It was an answer but not the one I wanted. It was like reset. She had forgotten what happened in mere minutes. I need to face her. Tonight.
I turned to her and kissed her head, savouring our last moments together before I go and ruin it all.

Donee. I uploaded the chapter very late than before, I know. And I promise to make it up to you.
