Chapter 1: Ellen and Roger together forever

Ellen was turning 16 in two weeks. It was all she thought and talked about. Well, that and her boyfriend Roger. She had worked very hard to get that guy's attention. She went to every one of his basketball games and cheered him on like there no tomorrow. Then one day, it was Tuesday Roger asked Ellen out on their first date. It at a fast food place called Johnny Rocket's. Ok, the place wasn't romantic but it' s where all the teenagers took their dates. But ever since that date she was SO into him and she knew 16 was going to be magical. " Happy anniversary." Said Norma.

"What?" asked Ellen

"Isn't it the anniversary of when Roger asked you out?" asked Norma

"Yea." Said Ellen

"I remember he told you he couldn't go out that week but was free Tuesday the next…. I always thought that was suspious." Said Norma

"I know. The whole school knows. You put it in your gossip column remember? It's why Roger hates you." Said Ellen

"Roger doesn't hate me. No one could hate me. I'm sweet and adorable." Said Norma

"You're also sneaky, nosey, gossipy, annoying…" said Ellen

"If it wasn't for me being sneaky, nosey, and gossipy where would you be?" asked Norma

"Not hearing about how I need to dump Roger and date Once-ler Beanpole… every day." Said Ellen

"I don't do that everyday." Said Norma

"Really?" Ellen asked " Let's go over a usual morning shall we… I say 'Good morning, Norma.' And you say 'Good morning, Ellen.' I ask 'How are you?' and you respond with something along the line of… ' I'm fine. You know who could use some cheering up though. Once-ler Beanpole.' Or ' I'm a little tired. I just thought of a perfect idea you should eat lunch with Once-ler today' or…"

"Ok… ok. I get it." Said Norma "I just don't know why you don't give him a chance. You've never even met him."

"And you know why. His family are the meanest people in town. I can't associate with a Beanpole how many times do I have to tell you that?" asked Ellen

" You can't let a fight your family is having with his dictate your life. Do you even know what you're fighting about?" asked Norma

"Something about his father… I'm not entirely sure to be honest." Said Ellen "O, another reason is because I'm dating someone. His name is Roger Getset in case you forgot." Said Ellen

"And I'm telling you. I don't trust him. I think he has his eye on Judy Atling. " said Norma

"He is not leaving me for Judy." Said Ellen although deep down she had her doubts about that. Judy was known to be very conniving and loved stealing boyfriends from other people. Plus it was common knowledge that she had a thing for Roger.

"What are your plans for your anniversary?" asked Norma

"My mom and I have to finalize plans for the Sweet sixteen party. It's been crazy getting permits for everything. I think Mayor Vill is deliberately making things more difficult than they have to be. We finally got everything we just need to finalize some stuff. So, we're doing that tonight. You want to come over and help? We could use all the help we can get." Said Ellen

"I'd love to but Once-ler and I have an Humanities project we have to work on." Said Norma "But if you need me I'll be right next door."

"I swear you spend so much time with that guy. I'm starting to think you're better friends with him than you are me." Said Ellen

"Well, I have known him longer and someone should be friends with him. Why not sweet adorable me. " said Norma "I'm not part of the feud so I can be friends with both parties. I'm Switzerland. "

"Whatever. Have fun." Said Ellen

The bell for the next class rang and while Ellen was walking down the hall she bumped into Roger "Hey, Babe. You'll never believe what I heard. It's the best thing ever. " said Roger

"What is it?" asked Ellen

"That loser Once-ler is dropping out of school and leaving town." Said Roger

"Leaving town? Again?" asked Ellen

"Again?" asked Roger

"He ran away to some place called Quechee Vermont when he was 14. I wonder why he's leaving again?" mused Ellen

"Who cares? You never have to worry about him ever again." Said Roger

"Still… things must be rough at home if he's running away." She responded

" If I knew you were going to get all sad I wouldn't have told you." Said Roger

"What made you think I wouldn't be sad. Someone we know is dropping out of school and leaving town." Said Ellen

"Whatever. Come on, let's get to class." Said Roger

"Sure." Said Ellen.

As the day went on Ellen's mind would wander to Once-ler Beanpole and how bad she felt that he was thinking of leaving Villville. Of course, then she'd have to remind herself that he was an enemy and that she shouldn't be feeling anything for him except resentment. So, she tried occupying herself with Roger and what a great boyfriend he was spending all his free time with her. Although, she always wondered what he did with that free period he had without her.

Norma and Once-ler went to find a place to start their project. They entered a class room they thought was empty. "I'm telling you. You just have to come out and tell her. " said Norma.

Judy Atling and Roger Getset were in the classroom making out and looked up when Norma and Once-ler came in. "O my god. O my god." Said Norma

"Do you mind? We're busy." Said Judy

"Actually, I do mind because you're locking lips with my best friend's boyfriend. " said Norma

"Norma Snaptrip, if you tell anyone about this or put this in that gossip column of yours. I will kill you. " said Roger

"O, don't worry. This won't end up in my gossip column. I don't want to humiliate Ellen that way .As for telling… as Ellen Peach's best friend I have a right to tell her everything I know. Girl code rules, sorry." Said Norma

"She's right. That is a girl code rule." Said Judy

"Fuck your girl code!" said Roger "I'm warning you. Besides, you've been trying to get us to break up since day 1 so she can go out with that loser. " he continued gesturing to Once-ler

"That's because you're a dick which I didn't have proof of but now I do." Said Norma

"Fine, tell her. She'll never believe you. After her all I'm her big bad bulldog and you're just a girl who has been trying to dictate her life. And no one likes to have their life dictated… isn't that right, Once-ler?" Roger taunted

" Shove it, Dick! We won't tell her but you have to promise to break up with her and never see Ellen again." Said Once-ler

"I don't have to do anything." Said Roger

Norma and Once-ler stop out of the room.

Later, that day. Norma goes to her locker and decides to talk to Ellen whose locker was right next to hers. "Hey, Ellen. How was your day?" asked Norma

"Fine. Did you hear about Once-ler?" asked Ellen

"You're bringing up Once-ler in a conversation? That's a first." Said Norma

"I heard he's going to drop out of school." Said Ellen

"I know he told me. It's about time too. I think he should have stayed in Quechee with his grandparents after the funeral but that's just my opinion." Said Norma "Anyway, enough about Once-ler I need to talk to you about something."

"Can it wait? I'm supposed to get home right away. So, I can get my homework done and my mother and I can go over party plans." Said Ellen

"Actually, it can't. It's very important. Once-ler and I were looking for a place to start on our project. We walked into what we thought was an empty classroom and we saw Roger…." Norma started

" So Roger was alone in a classroom." Said Ellen

"He wasn't alone. He was with Judy and they were making out." Said Norma

"What?! I can't believe it!" Ellen yelled "I can't believe you would make up such a hurtful story just to get me to break up with Roger! What is the matter with you!"

"It's the truth , Ellen. Once-ler was with me he can tell you if you don't believe me." Said Norma

"I wouldn't believe him either. He's just taking your side on this." Said Ellen "I love Roger and he loves me and no one is going to tell me anything different. Now get out of my way, you hurtful bitch!" yelled Ellen closing her locker and stomping past Norma and out the school doors.

" See you, tomorrow?" asked Norma weakly as she watched her leave.
