Chapter 6- Not what it seems

Ellie's P.O.V.

"Ellie the kitchen smells take out the garbage." Mom screamed as she was walking out the door, looking almost alive and happy.

"Okay, hey mom are you going to tell me where you are going." It was weird seeing this part of my mom she looked happy and nice.

"Just out Eleanor, I am aloud to have a life to aren't I?" She said before slamming the door.

I took the garbage out of the trash can and watched from my porch as my mom drove away. I walked down to the garbage can and I could hear someone walking towards me. As the person got closer I could tell who it was. What was she doing here did she not get hit enough already?

"Stay away from my boyfriend Ellie." She said. I wanted to scream what was it with people coming to my house to repeat what they have said to me at school.

"Emma go away okay I heard you when you told me at school." "Me and Sean are just friends and that is none of your business." I said slamming the lid closed on the garbage can.

"Stay away from Sean I mean it Ellie you are coming in between us and I won't let it go on." She said coming closer clenching her fist ready to punch me again.

"We are just friends and Emma do you really think you can take me because you can't and you know it." I said walking closer to her so I can intimidate her. "Me and Sean are friends okay?"

"No you can't be anything okay?" "Me and Sean have been together for two years and I am not going to loose it because you are a slut." She said putting her fists down because she knows she could never take me.

"Go home Emma before you get your ass kicked. I won't stay away from my friend because I don't care what you want." I said raising my eyebrows to see what she would do next.

She walked away but before she made a snotty face at me. God could she be any more obsessive and annoying I don't even see how Sean could want to be with her.

The rest of that night I couldn't sleep I kept thinking about how it was only the first day of school and I have got into a fight and been totally lied to. Well I want to vote this the worst school day ever. I couldn't stop thinking about bad it was going to be going to school tomorrow and have to face the freak. Mom didn't come home until one and surprisingly she actually slept in her own bed that night I was a little scared to find out what was going on.

Walking into school that morning I couldn't help but feel everyone was staring at me, I could even hear people say "I heard Sean and her had sex in a garage." Great now I was going to be a slut could this day get any worse.

"Hey Ellie wait up." I heard Sean call from behind, it was actually good to have someone to talk to.

"Hey Sean, so did you hear what went on last night?" I asked even though cause girl was probably to pissed off to say anything about it.

"No do I want to know what happened?" He asked raising his eye brow.

"Your girlfriend stopped by and she and I had a very good talk she was ready to fight for you again." I said laughing; Emma Nelson trying to fight is the funniest thing ever.

"You didn't hit her did you?" He said worried which worried me does he still have a thing for her.

"No I held myself back. You know what I have to go to class; I will see you later I guess." I say walking away.

"Bye Ellie, oh and she's not my girlfriend." He said turning away, I laughed I loved hearing that she is not his girlfriend.

Sean's P.O.V.

"Sean am so sorry about lat night you think about everything and talk to me I don't care who you pick anymore." Emma said running after me, she opens her arms and I hug her but I could feel everyone staring at me.

"Yeah okay thanks Emma, I have to go though." I said trying to make a quick exit.

"But you can be friends with Ellie to if you want it is the right thing." She said walking behind me.

I have to stop this whole Emma fighting for me thing because this can get ugly. "You have to stop attacking Ellie because she is stronger then you."

"Okay I feel bad maybe I should apologize to get, come on there she is." Emma said grabbing my arm. I knew this wasn't going to turn out good but I couldn't stop her.

"Hey Ellie I have something to say." Emma said Ellie looked at me and didn't even acknowledge her.

"Hey Sean, there is one empty chair sit with us." "So any way guys Simpson said –"Ellie was trying to ignore her but there was no way that Emma would let it go on/

"Ellie are you ignoring me because I wont yell at you or anything I promise I just want to talk." Ellie made a face at Ashley and Craig like she wanted to kill Emma but she turned around.

"What do you want Emma because I think we covered everything last night." She said really frustrated.

"I am sorry if you are friends with Sean then I can deal with that alright I will leave you alone." Ellie's mouth dropped when she heard Emma say that I don't think she believed it. I don't think I believed it either.

"Yeah okay," "So anyway he says because he has no time he wont be the advisor for a film club." Emma just stood there while Ellie was talking I think she wanted them to invite her to sit.

"Sean, will you help me with something, please." Emma said trying to take me with her.

"Bye Sean I will see you later okay." Ellie said, she figured I was going to choose Emma but I actually wanted to stay with them but I can go on with that whole hard to get thing she was doing it was kind of cute.

Craig's P.O.V.

"Emma I don't even know who that girl is anymore she has changed so much." I said, Emma had changed so much.

"She used to be so different, I could stand her." Ashley said looking at the door expecting Ellie to come back.

"Its weird how people change for the worse." I said because it was true look at how I have changed, Emma has changed, Spinner, Manny all of us have changed for the worse.

"Not all people change for the worse and then for the better." Ashley said hinting it was me changing for the better but I was sneaking behind her back and I felt bad even though we aren't together anymore.

"Well I guess Emma is just having a hard time Sean was her first love, sometimes you just have to let them go." I said trying to say that she and I can't happen again.

"Sometimes you shouldn't have to let go of your first love, you should try and hold on to them." I could tell this conversation was not going to go well so I decided to go.

"The bell is going to ring I should go," I said leaving.

Ellie's P.O.V.

"Can you believe her she is only doing that to get Sean back" I said once they left I was ready to pull my hair out with how annoying that was.

"You're jealous aren't you; just tell Sean you like him we all know you do." Craig said nudging my side.

"No I don't like him I just cant stand fake people and Emma is being fake." I took my hands and grabbed my hair.

Ashley took my hands out of my hair before I really did pull it out. "Craig you have to admit that was no sincere apology." At least I had Ashley backing me up on this.

"Yeah I know its just Emma being desperate it's really annoying seeing as this isn't the first time." I wasn't surprised but I am glad Sean's best friend can back me up on this one to.

"What ever I am out of here." I said throwing my tray out and started to wander around school.

"Hey friend," I heard Sean walk up behind me. I thought it was cute and sarcastic that he said hey friend.

"Wow you just seem to show up everywhere now don't you." Seriously where ever I turn he is right behind me.

"Yeah I know but I want to get your thoughts on everything." He asked meaning what I thought of Emma's fake apology.

"Thoughts on what?"

"I sorted out my Emma stuff, and I wanted to know what you thought of it." Great he wants me to like jump all over him now but I am not ready for this not yet.

"Yeah I can tell that was quite a show she put on today." I said that because it was the truth and he should know it.

"You don't think she meant it?" Sean asked I could tell he knew he wasn't going to be getting me just yet.

"Don't tell me that you believed that!" I would not want to be associated with someone who would believe an apology like that.

"Well I don't know I mean she isn't biting your head off but it seemed like she was just doing it for me." Well at least he isn't stupid.

Jus then the bell rings, "I don't think that it meant anything except that she wants you back." I said turning to walk away.

"You know I wish it could mean something so everything would be worked out." He said.

"Me to, bye friend." I said making fun of him from his comment before.

"Bye……friend." He had to pause between bye and friend I felt bad that it hurt him us being just friends but I can't be with him when Emma is still on the prowl.

Craig's P.O.V.

Sean was on the phone going on about Emma wont stop calling him, I felt bad for him love triangles suck.

"Craig I don't know what to do about Ellie I did what she wanted and still I don't have anything but a friend." Sean complained.

"I don't know maybe she's not into it." Ellie did say she didn't like him at lunch.

"Has she said that to you?" Sean asked worried. What if she was just not wanting ot admit it to me I don't know what to say to him.

"No but maybe it wasn't meant to be you just have to let it play out." I said that's all I could say to him."

"Yeah I should work out thinks with Emma." If he got back with Emma I might have to throw up.

"Yeah whatever." Just then Tanya walked into my garage. "He man I got to go Tanya is here." I hung up with Sean and walked over to my couch.

"Hey Beautiful." I said to her she looked so pretty.

"Hey baby." She sat down and started kissing me.

"I haven't you in so long I have missed you, did you miss me?" It was so great to see her I have been dieing for her.

"Yeah and I got you a birthday present for you." I smiled and opened it and then my mouth opened when I looked at it.

"Another guitar stand." I said staring at the one my guitar was on. "I have one already."

"What since when." Tanya said hurt.

"I got it from one of my friends on my birthday." I said trying to avoid it was from Ashley.

"Which one, Sean?" She asked I got nervous I had turned in to a horrible liar.

"No um Ashley gave it to me." I saw her look at me in total awe that I would even talk about Ashley in front of her.

"You're ex girlfriend Ashley why would she give you that?" She asked I could tell her suspicions were rising.

"We are just friends you don't have to worry." I could tell that wasn't comforting enough for her.

"Are you sure you're just friends because there's that saying one a cheater-" I didn't want to here it I had to convince her I loved her.

"I would not cheat on you, I'll put my guitar on your stand okay." I said moving it from Ashley's to hers. "I love you." I said sitting down next to her again. She started blushing.

"I love you to." She smiled and kissed my cheek it was so dorky but really cute.
