Endgame

He is the boy with eyes only for her. She is the girl lost in her own world. Like two ships on the same ocean but passing on different nights, can a "he" and "she" become a "we"? Drabble fic.

4. SHE - Drawn Away

Chapter 4: SHE – Drawn Away

He's no longer just a name.

As the weeks progress, she gets to know Edward beyond his name. Because they sit close together in APUSH, he often asks her questions regarding the class. She doesn't mind answering them. At least none of these questions involves her personal life.

He makes her smile. He makes her laugh. She still thinks about Jacob, but with Edward, she could forget. Especially the group activities. They're usually in the same team if their teacher allows them to pick their teams.

APUSH isn't the only class they're classmates in. Speech 151 too, a college class via a program called Running Start. She laughs more in that class, even if it didn't involve Edward. Slowly, Jacob didn't fill her thoughts for multiple hours daily. A small margin of her thoughts are filled with Edward.

She's learning to be happy.

It's a start.
