Elli stood behind the desk.
She stared at the door and sighed.
"Elli, what are you doing?" the doctor called
"I…I was just thinking." She said and smiled
"…alright. If anyone asks, I went out for lunch" he said walking out the door
Elli stared as the door flung open then closed. She could only stare at it.
"Alright, if anyone asks I'll tell them…" She said quietly
She ate a small bit of her sandwich and hurried over when she heard the door open.
It was Karen.
"Welcome! How can I help?" Elli asked happily
"I-I was looking for the doctor, is he here?" she asked blushing a bit
"No, he left some time earlier, he went to eat" Elli answered
Just as the two girls were talking, the doctor stepped in the door.
"Oh, Doctor are you coming tonight?" Karen asked sweetly
"Yes…I will be coming don't worry" he said walking into his office and closing the door
Karen grinned and waved goodbye to me.
Elli wondered what this "Event" would be. She wasn't invited, was everyone else invited? Why wasn't she? It made her a little angry that she wasn't allowed to go, but what if she just showed up? She shook her head furiously.
Just as she was thinking these things, the young farmer, Boyd walked in.
"Do you have a potion you could sell to me?" he asked kindly
"Sure, one second!" she jumped from the chair and grabbed the potion, "Here ya go!"
"Thanks Elli. Oh, by the way were you invited? To the party?" he asked excitedly
She looked at him and looked at the floor, "No…I guess Karen didn't invite me…I don't know why"
Boyd didn't say anything more. Instead he said his thanks and left, the door banged closed.
She opened the doctor's door; he sat at his desk reading papers.
She wanted to ask him if he knew about her…
No, she wouldn't ask. It was better off not being mentioned.
Elli closed the door.
If I could tell him how I felt…About him…
She shook her head even harder banging it on the wall.
"Elli, are you alright?" the doctor asked worriedly
"I-I think so…" she said almost in tears
Elli couldn't hold back. She burst out crying, (it did really hurt)
He took her in his arms and carried her over to the table; he checked her head in case of any damage.
"Doctor, what is this party everyone keeps talking about?" she asked still crying
"It's…well…just a party, nothing that special Elli. I thought Karen invited you…maybe I can ask her to let you come…" he said softly
"N-no, thank you…but I think I'll stay home" she said sniffling
When the doctor left, Elli knew it would be a VERY boring night. She went up to her room and fell asleep in her uniform.
