Elli silently stared out of the car windshield, not knowing where she was driving to. Nikki was in the backseat steadily droning on and on about her date last night with Jon. "Shut- up!" Elli finally said. She was tired of the meaningless babble coming out of her mouth, not when she had bigger issues. Her boyfriend of three years, Jakob, had just broken up with her the night before. It had just been a quick call with the dreaded three words, "Sorry, it's over", had been said. It wasn't much but with those words, it seemed that all of their memories were non- existent to Jakob and that a simple "Hello" in the hallway wasn't allowed anymore.
When Elli had finally calmed down, they were on the other side of town and it was around noon. Nikki was complaining about Elli's old car, and Elli was missing Jakob's comforting smell of old leather. Elli silently started to cry as she turned her car around to head home.
"Thanks Elli!" Nikki called as she walked up the steps. "No problem hun!" Elli put her car back into drive and drove around the corner to find Jakob sitting on her porch. She pulled her 1998 VMW Bug into the 3 car garage and walked over to the steps where Jakob was sitting. "What do you want?" "To talk to you, listen last night I wasn't really thinking, I thought that I liked someone else, but once I broke up with you I realized how stupid I was and- "Jake!!!!! Breathe! I get it. . . . you were stupid and I guess it's ok. So all is forgiven and we're dating again. . . . right?!" "Yea " Jakob picked her up at her waist, and spun her around then kissed her. They were this way when Elli's older brother walked out of the door and crashed into them. "Wow, Elli! Get a room!!" "Oh, shut- up Micheal!!! Like we don't think the same thing when you and Mikala are making out in your room." "Well we are in a room!!" "But we can still hear you guys!!!!!!!!!!!" "Whatever Elli, just let him go, it doesn't matter." "Yea your right, come on lets go to my room." Jakob set Elli down and they walked hand in hand to Elli's room.
When you walked into Elli's room, it was like stepping into the rainbow. Her walls were painted bright yellow, blue, green, and pink. She had a lime green fuzzy comforter with yellow, pink, and blue spots on it. Her floors were a dark hardwood and she had a big, plaid, area rug on the floor. Elli kicked off her Sperry's and Jakob did the same with his Converse's. Elli grabbed some Sophee's and went to the bathroom to change out of her light wash boyfriend jeans. When she came back, Jakob was sitting on her floor, watching TV. Elli settled down on the floor beside him and took his hand. "OK, so I just want to know, but who did you think that you liked?" "Uhhhhhh Samantha Parker." "Really?? Well that's not too bad so I can get over it but why did you think that you liked her?" "Because, she was flirting A LOT with me at football practice and I fell for it." "Oh well you have to make it up to me somehow, but how??" "I think I know." Jakob leaned in to kiss her, but then they heard a cough at the door. They pulled back, and saw Elli's mom in the doorway. She had a very annoyed look on her face. "Uhhhhhh yes mom?" "When were you going to tell me that you made a D on the Math Final?" "Oh, crap." "Yeah, I suggest that you leave now Jakob, before it gets ugly." "Yes Mrs. White. Bye Elli, love ya." "Bye Jakob!"
Two hours later, Elli was crying on her bed. She wasn't allowed to see Jakob anymore, except for when she was at school. Also, she didn't have her phone, or iPod. Elli didn't care so much about the phone or iPod, because she still had her computer. But she really didn't like her parents right now. They knew that she loved Jakob and would die if she couldn't see him, but they didn't care because this D would bring her math average down to a B, which just wasn't allowed in her household, at least not for her. Her mom and dad didn't care about what grades Micheal got because he was already in college on a full scholarship. Elli, however, had to maintain all As if she wanted to get into college on a full scholarship.
