Chapter 6
(Craig's POV)
"Ok guys, that was great."
"What?" Spin, Jimmy and Marco were all giving me weird looks.
"I said, 'Ok guys, that was great', why are you all looking at me like that??"
"Craig, you're acting weird. You haven't thrown anything at Spin all Practice and you said we sounded Great not good, not ok, great!"
"Fine Marco, see if you ever get a compliment from me again."
"There's the Craig we all know and hate."
"You guys wanna go through it one more time?"
"Can't, dinner time!" Spinner said.
"Yea I got to go too." Jimmy said.
"Ok well, I guess we'll practice again Friday?"
"Sure" They both said in unison. "bye"
"bye."
Marco stayed behind.
"Don't you have dinner too?"
"Yea, but I need to know what brought on your good mood."
"What, I can't just be in a good mood?"
"Sure you can, but I'm guessing there's a reason? A girl perhaps? Ashley?"
"No, me and Ash are just friends."
"And your fine with that."
"Actually, I am."
"So there has to be another girl!"
"Marco, I'm just in a good mood, don't look into it too much."
"Ok, but I will figure it out. You know I will."
"What are you going to stalk me?"
"If that's what it takes."
"Now your starting to scare me…"
"Ok, sorry. No stalking I promise. Observing though, yes… Is it anyone I know?"
Yes it's your best friend.
"Oh hear that? It's Joey, ringing the dinner bell. Guess I have to go!"
"Sarcasm, very funny. I have to go too."
"See ya later man"
"Yea see ya tomorrow."
The Next Day!! Woot! hyperness
(Ellie's POV)
"When is homeroom going to start." I whined to Craig as we sat in the MI lab waiting for Mr. Simpson and the rest of the class.
"Why are you so anxious for school to start? And why did you drag me here so early?"
"Only by a few minutes."
He gave me a "tell me" look.
"I'm kind of avoiding Sean."
"Why?"
"I just… don't want him to give me a lame excuse."
"oh"
"Ellie" It was Sean. He was at the door. "Can we talk outside for a minute before Homeroom starts?"
People were starting to come in, I saw Mr. Simpson at the other side of the hall, Telling people to get to homeroom.
"Ok, what."
"Your avoiding me."
"Where were you yesterday."
"um.. Well, Jay…"
The bell rang just as he said it.
"You were with Jay?!"
"Ellie come on, the bell rang." Mr. Simpson said walking past into the class.
"Coming." I said looking at Sean. He just stood there, thinking of something to say. I turned around and went into class.
(Craig's POV)
Ellie came in and she looked upset. Like she might even cry.
"Are you ok?"
"He was with Jay." She said shaking her head, giving a sad laugh. She just stared at the computer. I just sat there watching her from the corner of my eye till first period started, Media Immersion, such a commute. She got started doing the work in silence. She looked like she was fine, except for her eyes, If you looked at her eyes you could tell she was sad and angry and hurt. I wanted to punch Sean.
"Maybe I'm over-reacting." She said unexpectedly.
I wasn't sure what to say. I sighed and looked at her and she knew I didn't know. She turned back to the screen and I did the same.
"Wait what are we doing?" She just looked at me, rolled her eyes and laughed a little. Then went back to her work… "No really I don't know"
"Okay, we're supposed to be…"
