Chapter 14- New beginnings
Ellie's P.O.V.
"A boyfriend?" Sean asked as I was watching him put together some engine for shop. I was ranting to him about last night.
"Yeah a boyfriend, can you believe her she is such a hypocrite." I said.
"I am sorry Ellie do you want to come study at my house tonight we can order in." I was so happy Sean asked there was no way I wanted to be home.
"Yes anything to stay away from the devil." I said.
I looked up and there were these kids staring at us. They were pretty well known as the "bad kids" in our school. The girl was in my English class, and I always see the guys around all the time. They kept staring at Sean and me and then they walked over.
"Hey that's a pretty good engine; you seem to know your stuff." The one kid said.
"Yeah thanks." Sean said not looking them in the eye.
"I am Jay this is Alex and Towerez." Jay said and I nodded my head at him.
"I am Sean this is Ellie." Sean said turning around he seemed to be putting on his bad boy image it was kind of funny.
"I've seen you around fighting with green peace a lot." Alex said to me.
"Yeah well she pushed my buttons." I was now trying to act all bad girl I couldn't believe I was trying to impress them.
"Our buttons." Sean said looking over at me.
"If you want to hang with us sometime we are going to the mall for lunch." Jay said.
"Yeah sure." I said Sean looked over at me. "Anything to avoid Craig and Ashley."
"Babe I've go to go." Alex said kissing Jay. "Ellie aren't you in my English class?" Alex asked. I nodded and got up.
"Yeah well I should get going." I stood up and kissed Sean.
"You want to help us with our engine?" I heard Jay ask Sean on my way out. Looks like I have new friends now that Ashley hates me and she will get everyone on her side.
"So you won Sean?" Alex asked me I looked at her confused.
"You fighting green peace in the hall it was over Sean." She said.
"Well yeahI guess technically I won Sean.
"That cool you know fighting for what you want." Alex said.
"Well I didn't even want him at first but I am happy I have him now." I said walking into Mrs. Kwan's room.
"Your late ladies." Kwan said.
"Emergency had to hit the bathroom." Alex said,
"Fine take your seat." Kwan said.
I sat down next to Alex but I could feel Ashley staring at me, I looked up and she looked away. It made me laugh.
I leaned over to Alex "you see Ashley she is mad at me because of something so stupid its insane and now she wont stop staring at me." I said.
Alex laughed "oh please you need mew friends real friends" Alex said,
"Yeah I know." I said.
"Ellie Alex would you like to share with the class your out look on the book you chose to read." Kwan asked. I was excited I had made the perfect report yesterday to read it was directed towards Ashley.
I stood up. "My book is called Speak and I noticed that Melinda's so called friend wouldn't want to hear her out you know listen to what she had to say. They didn't want to hear why she did what she did they just wanted to believe what they want. I think that if they were real friends then they would listen to her." I smiled when I was done reading.
"Wow Ellie that was a really great way to look at it." Kwan said when I was done.
I looked over at Ashley and she was staring at me with her mouth open.
Sean's P.O.V.
"Hey babe." I said pushing Ellie up on the way and kissing her.
"Wow someone is in a good mood today." She said laughing.
"You guys coming?" Jay asked walking with Towerez and Alex.
"Yeah let's go." I said
We hopped in to his car I was cuddling in the back seat with Ellie.
"So Ellie and I might go off by ourselves for a while." Alex said.
"Good because I don't want to go with you, you're so boring." Jay said.
"Hey!" Alex said slapping is arm.
"I am kidding I love you." Jay said.
"Well let's get going, we will call you girls when we want to leave," I said.
"Or we could leave them here." Jay said laughing.
The girls left and we started walking. "Well we skipped school to go to the mall." "Isn't this a little girly?" I said.
"Yeah well I need some c.d.'s I have to steal, so let's get going." Jay said laughing.
We headed to the c.d. store where Jay went over to the hip hop section and started to go through them.
"Which one are you looking for?" I asked.
"This one." He said pulling out the Eminem c.d. and putting it into his jacket.
Towerez was standing at the door and signaled to leave, because the sale person was walking towards are isle. So Jay casually walked out of the store and I gave him a nod and we kept walking.
Ellie's P.O.V.
"You have no idea how happy I am you came with us to the mall, I have been dieing for a girl to go to the mall with." Alex said
"Well Ash has been such a pain in my ass lately I can't deal with it she is so wrapped up in Craig, its not to have a new friend." I said.
Alex and I traveled over into some store I didn't even check the name out but it looked really cool.
"Well I am glad if we eve need to get away from everything Jay and me go down to the ravine there are always parties there at night. " Alex said.
"Anything to get away from mommy dearest." I said.
"You to?" Alex said.
"She drinks like crazy, until about a week ago when she started dating a guy name Charlie." I said.
"My mom is my hero though she drives me crazy but I love her my step dad is the bad one he drink s and then beats her all the time." Alex said.
"God I want this shirt so bad." I said holding it up.
"So get it." Alex said. I nodded at her then slipped it into my bag, I cant even remember the last time I stole. At my old school it was like a ritual with me and my friends. Every Friday we would go up to the mall and have competitions on who could steal the most without getting caught. I now remember how great it felt it was such a rush.
"Well we should find the guys before they rob the whole mall and we don't get to school on time." Alex said.
"Well we didn't rob the whole mall." Jay said coming up behind us.
"Hey." Sean said kissing my cheek.
"Well we need to get to school now class starts in 5 minuets." Alex said.
"Yes don't want to miss out on a good education." Jay laughed.
"Vice president rules I got to go to class." Alex said.
"See you later dudes." Jay said walking away; I don't think that was the direction of his class though.
"Hey Ellie class started Mr. Simpson wants you in." Craig said.
"Alright I am coming." I kissed Sean. "Bye baby." I kissed him again.
I went to walk away but he pulled me back in and kissed me "Bye" he said.
Then Mr. Simpson came out "Ellie the class is waiting for you."
"Sorry Mr. Simpson." I said walking in.
I was so not in to hearing Mr. Simpson talk today so I was thinking about work. I had to go today and get some stuff done with Craig I have a few minuets of video tape from random times at lunch but I mean what else could me and him do. There really wasn't to much we had to talk about anymore. I really just didn't want to do this.
School was finally over and I was so happy, I was so tired and stressed out.
"Hey Ellie Jay said he will give you a ride to work." Sean said.
"Great, I am in no mood to walk." I was so relived.
"Ready to go guys?" Jay asked.
"Do you know where to go?" I asked.
"Yeah I have driven by that place before." Jay said.
"So what do you do at this place anyway?" Alex asked.
"I work for Caitlin Ryan, fact check, research stuff and write some stories for a magazine and other schools newspapers." I said.
"Hey if you need a ride home or to Sean's you can call me my number is 573-2123." Jay said handing me his number.
"Thanks but Charlie my mom's boyfriend is going to pick me up my mom wants us to bond." I said.
"Call me tonight." Sean said kissing me before I left.
"Bye." I said.
