characters or the show, you get the drift. Please read and review, hope you
like it.
Chapter 7: Thinking of You
Lying on her bed, Elle thought about the night she had. She put her hand on her stomach remembering how full she was from the big dinner Joey had made. She hadn't been that full for a long time. It's usually leftovers at home and even then she only picked.
She thought about Craig and how different he had acted. He wasn't even worried about Ash anymore and getting her back. The more she hung out with him the more she liked. Then she thought about Ash and how her life was hell.
She rolled over on her side and shut her light. 'Monday is going to be hell,' she thought to herself.

The bell rang for third period as Elle started down the hall towards Mr. Simpson's class. 'The one period I have been dreading,' she thought out loud.
"Why is that," a familiar voice from behind said.
Elle jumped when she heard the unexpected response.
"You must have a thing for scaring the crap out of me."
She smiled and looked over at Craig who was now standing on her right side.
"Sorry," Craig apologized, "I didn't mean to, but I was wondering why you've been dreading third if you don't mind me asking."
"Oh I have to work with Ash on this project for Simpson third and the groups are final."
"You'll be fine; just don't take any crap from her. Be strong."
"Yeah that's easy for you to say. You're used to fighting with her, I'm not." Elle faced forward again and just kept walking. "I'll see you later Craig," she said as she turned into the classroom only to find that the only computer left was next to Ash. "Great," she mumbled to herself, "Today is the day that everyone decides to come to class early."
She put her books on the side next to her computer and sat down, facing forward the whole time trying not to make eye contact with Ash. She couldn't believe that she was trying to avoid her best friend. The friend that helped her when her dad left for the so called 'peace keeping mission.' The same friend that let her sleep over when her mom was sick on the couch and when home life got to stressful. She couldn't just avoid her and not talk to her. They had gone through to much together to let a guy break up their great friendship. Okay a really great guy, but still. She wasn't going to let this happen. She turned to face Ash and was about to open her mouth to apologize when Mr. Simpson started talking. She faced forward again and listened to another Simpson lesson.

Craig looked at the clock and then back at the front board. He wasn't thinking about anything related to math let alone paying attention to anything Mr. Armstrong was saying. He was thinking about Elle. He remembered how a couple of days before he had cheered her up and helped her forget about her home life. He had never really noticed Elle before. He had talked to her before, but never more than a couple of minutes. He loved hanging out with her. She made him forget all his problems with Ash and at school. He wanted to spend all of his time with her, but he knew that Ash would just avoid her even more if he saw them together. Just as he got his last thought out the bell for lunch rang and he grabbed his stuff and ran out of the classroom.
"Damn," Jimmy said, "What is that kid up to?"
Spinner looked up from his books which he was organizing and answered Jimmy's question.
"Oh, you mean Craig," Spinner started. "He has the hots for Elle and knowing him he probably went to chase after her."
"Wait Craig likes Elle, What ever happened to Ash?"
"She hates him and is mad at both him and Elle so I guess he's moved on." Spinner picked up his books and started towards the door with Jimmy.
"Wow, I missed a lot didn't I?" Jimmy laughed and just kept walking.
