"Ellie, did you hear about Sean and Emma? I guess they broke up," Ashley
says to Ellie. Ellie looks at a book while sitting on Ashley's bed.
"I don't listen to rumors especially relationship related. It gets you in a bad situation," Ellie says turning the page. Ashley shrugs.
"Yeah, but I mean, it's about Sean," Ashley says sitting down next to Ellie. Ellie soon catches Ashley's eye.
"You like him," Ellie states. Ashley jumps from the bed.
"Please, Elle, no. I mean I did before but he just isn't for me. I think Craig is cute though," Ashley smiles.
"Yeah, he has promise," Ellie says continuing her reading.
"So, what about Marco? He is something," Ashley chuckles. Ellie rolls her eyes.
"I told you, he's gay, I can't go for him. But remember you can't tell him I told you"
"I won't I swear. But Marco, gay? Never would have known"
"Well he is, and it sucks. I like him in that way but when he didn't respond I took what you said seriously, I asked him and now I know the truth"
"It's good to know the truth though, Elle," Ashley points out. Ellie looks out the window looking as if she would cry.
"But the truth hurts".
---- AT THE MALL ----
The two immediately head to Hot Topic. The try things on and criticize others. Ashley finds her outfit and shows Ellie who approves. Ellie gets another plaid skirt without any approval. They put the things on the counter and pay and quickly start going to the next store. When suddenly Ashley feels a swift bump to her arm and quickly turns to see Sean alone.
"Oh sorry. Sean," Ashley says. Ellie just stares.
"No problem. Hey Ellie," Sean says. Ellie waves back.
"Where you two headed to?"
"Um, maybe to the food court," Ellie says. Ashley nods.
"Wanna come?" Ashley asks. Sean shrugs.
"I don't care". The three walk to the food court. Sean doesn't feel hungry but the two girls decide to get a large fry to share and a soda.
"So Sean, who were you here with?" Ashley asks.
"No one. I came alone, I was going to get some stuff but I decided I could just hang with you two". Ellie nods.
"So, Ashley heard a rumor. is it true?" Ellie asks. Ashley bumps Ellie's shoulder but Ellie ignores it.
"About me and Emma? Yeah, we didn't quite click plus I had a," Sean's voice trails off. The girls leave it at that.
"Well this was fun, we should do it again sometime," Ashley says. Sean chuckles.
"I don't know, I'm kind of busy," Sean says standing up. He suddenly glances at Ellie who catches his eye.
"Um but maybe I could get your phone number Ellie, since I already have Ashley's," Sean says. Ellie looks at Sean for a second.
"Your serious aren't you? Sorry, I don't have a phone number I burned my phone when I went psycho," Ellie joked. Ashley laughed a little and soon so did Sean.
"Here," Ashley said making him hold out his hand. She took a pen and wrote Ellie's phone number.
"Just write it against my will," Ellie commented.
"There you go, see you later Sean," Ashley waved.
"Bye Ash. see ya Ellie, I'LL CALL YOU!"
"I don't listen to rumors especially relationship related. It gets you in a bad situation," Ellie says turning the page. Ashley shrugs.
