"All right, I'm leaving," I announce to everyone as I open the front door. Mom looks up at me. Dad must have already left. I smile still. She smiles back. She walks over to me.
"Okay, so, everything is fine?" she asks. I nod. "Good, that's good. Um, just keep out of trouble, okay?" she says. I nod again. She puts her hand on my shoulder. I look up at her. We hug.
"Thanks, mom. For everything," I say. She smiles and rubs my back. I close the door behind me and start down the stairs with a smile on my face.

Okay, today, I see Ashley. I face everyone today. I hope I'm ready for this. I sigh and start up the stairs. I hear a giggle further away. I stop and look in the direction.
"Bye, hun," Paige says to someone. I try to see the face but I can't. I see her hug and may be kiss. Must be a boyfriend. She turns my way with a grin but she's alone. She starts up the stairs happily. I keep my eyes on Paige. I shake my head and continue up the stairs myself. Inside, people are scattered. I swallow and keep my head down. I finally reach my locker safely. I place my bag on the floor and start to open it.
"Ellie," I hear a voice call. I look to my left. There's Ashley. I roll my eyes and look back into my locker. "I'm positive you got my email," she says coming closer. I don't say anything. "Ellie," she says annoyed. I turn to her.
"What?" I ask annoyed myself.
"It's not going to be my fault if you don't turn in your homework," she tells me.
"I wouldn't have time to do my homework, remember, I'm too hung up on Craig," I say closing my locker. I look at her. She looks down at the floor. "Remember? You knew it before I did," I remind her.
"I'm sorry that I accused you of dating Craig," she mumbles. "I was little"
"Jealous?" I fill in. She looks at me and nods. "Ash, I don't want Craig, believe me," I assure her. She nods.
"Hope I didn't screw everything up," she says. I shake my head.
"No, not entirely," I joke. She smiles. I pick up my bag.
"So you don't hate me?" she asks. I shake my head again.
"Just disappointed," we start walking. "I mean, me and Craig?" I look at her. She chuckles. "Yeah, exactly," I say.
"I don't know what I was thinking," she says slapping her hands to her sides. It gets quiet. I look over at her.
"I have a boyfriend," I blurt out. We stop. She stares at me, her mouth open in a smile. "What?"
"Are you serious?" she asks. I chuckle. "Oh my gosh, Ellie!" she says happily. "I don't believe it, who?" we say starting to walk again. I look ahead and down the halls he comes. Spinner. I chuckle at him. Ashley looks over at him as she approaches.
"No way," she says astonished.
"Ellie," he says out of breath. We both laugh.
"Well, um, I'll see you later," she says to me. I nod as she starts walking away amused. Spinner looks at me.
"You okay?" I ask laughing at him. He nods.
"Now," he says. I smile and we start to walk side by side. "How ya doin?" he asks. I nod.
"Pretty good. Mom and I are okay now and dads back home," I say. He nods.
"Happy that you're doing good," he says.
"Hey, Spinner," I start off. He looks at me. "Do you know who Paige is dating? I saw her outside a minute ago, with some guy I think," I ask. Spinner looks straight ahead.
"Oh," he says. I look over at him.
"So, do you know?" I ask. He nods. I wait but there is no answer. "Well?" I ask.
"She's dating Jason," he says flatly. I roll my eyes.
"I can't wait for him to say something about gays," I tell him. Spinner shakes his head and chuckles. "Hey, can you tell Craig to meet me up at lunch? I need to talk to him," I request. Spinner nods. "Thanks," and with that a give him an innocent peck on the cheek. He looks at me. I smile and walk into homeroom.

Lunch time comes around fast and I'm standing against my locker waiting for Craig. I look around but still no sign. I lay my head back against the locker.
"Hey," I hear a voice. I look up. Craig. I politely smile. Hair still not combed. "Spin told me you wanted to talk?" he says. I nod.
"Yeah, um," I swallow. "I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for everything," I apologize. He just looks at me.
"Look, I know, you were upset," he says.
"Yeah, but, you tried to help," I say. "I should have listened," I admit. He comes closer.
"But you're better now, right? I mean, they helped you," he says. I sigh.
"I guess you could say that," I truthfully say. He nods. "I wanted to ask a favor though," I say. "You know that Ashley likes you, right?" I say. His eyes widen.
"Me?" he asks pointing to himself. I chuckle.
"Yeah? You're all over each other, all the time," I say.
"Really? I didn't think we were together much," he says astonished. I laugh.
"Anyways, she does, and I know you do. So, show it," I ask of him. He bites his lip. "C'mon, you know you wanna," I tease. I smile and so does he.
"Thanks for the advice," he says. I laugh.
"No problem," I say. "Oh yeah, can you do me just one more favor?" I ask. He rolls his eyes playfully. I bite my lip. "Save me a spot in your garage, I'll be attending practice today," I confess. He laughs. We both grin. He bows down.
"Of course," with that, he walks away. I laugh and roll my eyes. Everything's looking up for you Ellie, don't screw it up.
A/N: sorry for another short chapter but I have to let everyone know: the next chapter will be the last. Sorry, but it's true. I'm really happy for those who liked this story, and thanks for all the reviews. I know I said that there were some upcoming stories in my other ended stories but some of them aren't going to be created. I didn't like them lol. But I do have one that I will be publishing. You'll learn about that in the next chapter. I really hope the ending is good for you!
