Happy chpter2
The bell rang signaling the end of first period. " Class, your homework tonight is to read chapters 8 and nine," Ms.kwan called as her students filed out of the classroom and into the hall.
Marco saddled up next to Ellie. "El, why so perky," he asked, knowing that she resented the word perky.
"First of all," she said," I resent the word perky and second my dads coming home."
"Really, El, that's awesome. When's he coming home?"
"He called my mom when he left Kabul about 2 hours ago."
The bell rang; Marco looked at the clock near Ellie's locker. " Gotta run El," he said, " But I'll talk to ya at lunch."
"Yeah sure," she said watching him run down the hall. Jay and his groupies came out from around the corner. Jay pushed Marco's books to the ground and grabbed his shoulder.
Ellie ran down the hall to Marco's side. "What the hell do you think your doing," she hissed.
"I'm just helping our little friend here with his books," Jay said, " Whatcha gonna do about it. Punch me?"
Ellie felt anger rise to her face. She couldn't take it any more. Jay making fun of Marco, she was at her breaking point.
In two quick movements, she pulled back her fist and let it go straight into Jay's face with all the anger that had been pent up in her for her entire life.
Jay lay dumbstruck on the floor, Ellie leaned down and said, and "Ya I think I will."
She turned away. Sean ran after her. "El, what was that?" he asked.
"I'm sorry Sean, but ......"
"Don't apologize El, that was the most kick-ass thing I've ever seen you do," Sean said.
"Well, I guess," Ellie blushed. Am I blushing? She asked herself.
The bell rang again. "Gotta go," she said and ran off, not waiting for Sean to say anything else, afraid what she might do next. ////////
Ellie got to the gym just as class started. She snuck into the girls locker room and quickly changed. She slipped on arm warmers to hide the scars on her arm. She made a resolution that she no longer needed to cut, everything was looking up. Just then, Paige burst into the locker room. "Ellie, I heard what happened," she said.
"What? How? From who," Ellie asked sarcastically.
Paige did not pick up on the sarcasm and said , "From Dylan of course, who else. Elvis?"
"How did he find out?" Ellie asked as a genuine question.
This time, Paige thought it was sarcastic and said, "I don't appreciate sarcasm Ellie. If you have to know, he heard from Marco."
"God, do you three have walkie-talkies or something."
"We have cell phones Ellie," Paige said.
"So which one did you hear about," Ellie sighed.
"The fight, what else was there to hear," Paige asked suspiciously.
"Its nothing Paige," Ellie said waving her hand, trying to end the conversation.
"Tell me Ellie," Paige insisted.
"No," Ellie snapped, "Its personal."
"Oh no," Paige said, "Your pregnant."
"What?! No, oh god, no way," Ellie gagged.
"Then what. Have you been cutting again," Paige said.
"NO! Just leave me alone Paige," Ellie stomped to the door.
Paige stepped in front of the door and out stretched her arms. "I'm not letting you leave until you tell me."
"Fine fine," Ellie sighed, "My dads coming home."
Paige was visibly releived. "Ok, good hun, I was worried." ///////////// I thought that's was a good ending. Pleez don't be harsh, thats my writing with 3 teenage girls giggling around me. Sooo annoying.
