What would've happened if Emma and Sean had never broken up? If Take On Me's ending was changed and Ellie and Sean didn't get together that day? What if Sean never left for Wasaga? This fic answers all these questions. Semlie. Post Take On Me. Read and Review, please.
Ellie ran into shop class. Her classes had been switched. She sighed and pushed a strand of hair out of her face.
"Shop.." she murmured, tracing the wood with her finger. Sean and Craig both looked up from what they were working on together.
"Ellie!" they both declared quickly, shooting glances at each other, then back at her.
"Ok! Ok" the shop teacher said, as Ellie opened her mouth. "Ms. Nash's schedules have been switched. Leave her be. No big deal... get to work"
Sean looked at Craig... and suddenly felt a surge of happiness. He smiled, and his cheeks went pink.
Craig looked at him and grinned "What's up with you...?" He nudged Sean easily.
"Nothin', man" Sean replied, focusing on a wrench nearby, as if it was the most fascinating thing in the world.
Craig smirked. "I think someone here has the hots for a certain girl whose name starts with Ell and ends with ie."
"I have a girlfriend, and her name starts with Em and ends with ma." He said dully, looking out the window.
"Yeah, but still-"
"Cameron!" the shop teacher said quickly. "I need you to show Ms. Nash around. But you're doing it on your own time. You're now busy after school."
Sean smirked, and turned to look at Ellie, who looked him in the eye for a second, and then looked back down.
Maybe staying at school longer then usual wouldn't be so bad this time.
"I don't know why he made you do this." Ellie said slowly, jumping up one of the only clear tables and kicking her feet a bit. "I see where everything is." She started pointing at things. "That's a desk, that's a box of tools, that's a door, and, that's about it." She shrugged.
"Why did they put you in this class, anyway?" Sean replied, jumping up and sitting beside her, legs dangling dully.
"I have no clue, really." She said after a slight pause while she thought about it. "I was failing my other class, so they switched me. I'll probably fail this one, too. I don't know anything about this stuff."
Ellie was feeling a lot better then she had earlier. Before all she could think about was Sean not forgiving her for the tape incident. Ever since that slip up, she and Sean had simply left the secret romance just that- a secret.
Ellie had privately smiled every time she passed him in the hall.
Sean laughed, jumping off the table and walking over to the toolbox. He picked it up and put it beside Ellie.
He pulled something out. "This is a wrench." He started, getting ready to go in detail on what it did.
Ellie laughed lightly. "I know that much." She put on a serious expression. "What I don't know is.." her voice grew soft and she looked down. "How you could forgive me like that."
Sean froze, his hand half way to the toolbox to put the wrench away. After a moment of awkward silence he dropped the wrench and turned to her.
They looked into each other's eyes for a moment, as Sean stepped closer to her. "Because I'm in love with you." He whispered. Their lips were inches away and then-
Emma laced her fingers with Sean's, walking down the hall. "That was sweet of you, helping Ellie out like that." She said, smiling.
Sean nodded. "It was nothing. Didn't take long either. It was kind of boring. Good thing you came in when you did." He added the last part, feeling distant. Just as he and Ellie were about to kiss.. It happened.
Emma pushed open the door to the shop class, and Sean automatically jumped back and looked to the toolbox as if he had just been spending his time there. Ellie looked over.
"Hey Emma." Ellie said slowly, grabbing her bag. "Thanks for helping me out, Sean." She added just as slowly, giving him a 'don't say a word' look before leaving.
Sean looked completely confused as Emma dragged him out the door. He had almost had her again. He almost had Ellie again. And Emma had screwed it up.
"So, how about we go to your place and watch a movie?" Emma smiled over at him.
"I'm busy." Sean grunted. "Sorry."
Emma hadn't expected that reply. "Oh." She said slowly, regaining her composure. "With what?"
"English paper." He said after thinking.
"I could help you." Emma suggested.
"I really need to do this report or I'll fail- I don't think Mrs. Kwan will take the excuse that I was busy making out with my girlfriend."
Emma sighed, pulling her hand away. "I'm going home." She said slowly, giving him a peck on the cheek and disappearing her way.
Sean sighed, pulling his beanie off and running his hands through his hair. "I can't believe I did that. I have a girlfriend. I can't like Ellie. That whole detention thing was stupid, and we were both caught up in the moment." He was trying to talk himself out of his own mind.
"Because I'm in love with you."
He scowled. "I can't believe I said that. I don't love her. I love Emma. Emma's my girlfriend. Emma Nelson." He kept these ramblings on and on, until he got to his house and jumped on the couch angrily.
"Because I'm in love with you." Ellie recited.
Ellie had told her that she had asked why Sean would spend his time with her after school. She couldn't tell her about everything in detention. Only She, Sean, Hazel, Toby, and Jimmy knew what happened that day.
"He didn't say that. Aww! So cute!" Ashley replied, smiling widely. "Then what happened?"
"Emma walked in." Ellie replied dully. She picked up a pillow off Ashley's couch and screamed into it.
"Ouch. Horrible ending." Ashley said sadly.
"You're telling me this?" Ellie said, sighing. "I like Sean Cameron. You know- the one with the girlfriend? I can't like him. That's wrong."
Ashley shrugged. "He loves you. He'll break up with Emma. He has to."
The next chapter is "Cherry Flavored Lip Gloss" I already have it typed and ready to go.
