Jason's Prov
"Ella!" I yelled again but just let her go when I turned back to Tess and seen blood trickling down her chin.
I had never seen Tess look so helpless, her eyes were glistening with tears and her lip was quite obviously busted.
"We should get you to the school nurse." I said.
She nodded like an obedient child as I wrapped an arm around her and took her to the nurse's office.
What was Ella thinking?
**************************************************************************
"Oh dear!" The nurse exclaimed as we walked through the door. "Sit up here." She said tapping the foam table behind her.
Tess seemed reluctant to let me go so I went with her and helped her up.
"What happened?" The nurse asked as she inspected Tess's lip and dabbing it with a wet piece of cotton wool.
I was about to answer for her, but before I could say my lunatic girlfriend attacked her, Tess done something very unexpected.
"I walked into a locker." Tess said. "I'm so clumsy." She giggled slightly.
I looked at her with inquisitive eyes, why didn't she just drop Ella in it she deserved it.
"Well it doesn't look like it needs stitches." The nurse said when she had finally stopped the bleeding. "Just be more careful next time." She said as we exited the room.
"Tess, why didn't you just tell her what actually happened?" I said once we were far enough away from the nurse's office.
"I'm not gonna tout on Ella." She said. "It's not her fault if she felt threatened by me; I suppose I would have reacted like that if you were my boyfriend." As she said the last part her eyes grew wide and a small smile spread across her face as she gently rubbed my arm, was she flirting with me?
"Um…yeah, I guess." I stuttered slightly confused. "I'm still really sorry though."
"Well maybe you could go to the mall with me to cheer me up a bit?" Tess smiled.
"Um…sure I'll meet you out front after school." I said before walking down the opposite corridor from her. "Bye." I called over my shoulder.
What happened did I fall into the twilight zone while I was in the bathroom, I thought to myself as I walked into my classroom.
Ella's Prov
Two hours later, I heard the final bell of the day, no one had came looking for me for my last two classes they must have thought I just ditched and went home which I was thankful for.
Another 5 minutes I thought to myself, everybody should be away by then and then I can make a quick get away to my car.
"Ella!?" Caitlyn's voice called as she entered the bathroom.
I remained silent, please go away I don't want to talk to anyone I thought to myself.
"Ella." Mitchie's voice gasped.
I looked up, my vision slightly clouded by tears, Mitchie was peering over the dividing wall of the next cubical.
"Caity, she's in here." Mitchie called over her shoulder.
Soon enough Caity's head appeared beside Mitchie's.
"Are you o.k.?" Caity asked sympathetically.
"I've been better." I said sarcastically.
"We heard what happened." Mitchie said her voice as sympathetic as Caitlyn's.
"Great." I said burying my head into my knees.
"It was actually great." Caitlyn smiled. "You totally kicked her butt, you should see her lip it's huge!"
I rolled my eyes, "Well that fat lip cost me Jason, Caity, I don't think it was worth it." I snapped.
"Wait, what do you mean cost you Jason?" Mitchie spoke up.
"I mean he took her side." I said quietly.
"He done what?" I could hear the anger in Caitlyn's voice.
I shrugged I felt so helpless as I came to terms with that fact.
"Aw Ella." Mitchie's voice was full of sympathy. "Let us in." She said as both their heads disappeared.
Once I unlocked the cubical door I was embraced by my friends, it was odd but it felt like they could feel the pain and sadness I was going through.
"How'd you know I was in here?" I asked as the embrace ended.
"Your car was still in the lot." Mitchie smiled.
"And we know you Ell, after something like that happened you'd want to be where no one else was so you were either in here or the library." Caitlyn smiled.
I smiled, I was so lucky to have friends like these.
"So, how about we get out of here and go to mine to pig out and watch a couple of horror films?" Caitlyn suggested.
"I thought we were going to the mall?" I questioned.
"It's up to you, I didn't think you'd be in the mood."
"No, I am in the mood, plus I need a home coming dress."
Mitchie and Caitlyn both looked shocked.
"You still wana go to home coming?"
I nodded, "Yeah." I wasn't going to be as pathetic as Tess I thought to myself.
Both girls smiled widely and hugged me again.
"So are you going to tell us what made you jump Tess?" Mitchie asked as we exited the bathroom.
"Um, yeah but first I have to do something. I'll meet you's at the car." I said jogging in the opposite direction.
*********************************************************************
I stared through the glass pane of the door, letting out a sigh of relief before knocking and letting myself in.
"Ella." Mrs Smith smiled as she looked up from her desk. "What are you still doing in school?"
"Um, there was an incident earlier, anyway I was just wondering if I could do my music practical solo on Wednesday?"
Mrs Smith's expression changed from happy to completely confused, "Why?"
I shifted uncomfortably on the spot, "Jason and I aren't on the best of terms."
"Oh! And this would have to do with the incident you mentioned?"
I nodded once.
"Well, in that case I'll allow both of you's to do it solo."
"Thank you." I said quietly as I turned to leave.
"I'm a bit disappointed I'll not get to hear what you and Jason were working on." She said after me.
"Me too." I whispered quietly.
