Chapter 7

(Marco's POV)

"Come on, lets all sit here."

It was lunch and Me, Ellie, and Ash were sitting down at an empty table. Me at the head of the table, Ellie on my left, Ash on my right. Then Craig came and sat next to Ellie.

"Hey guys. Mind if I join you?"

"Nope." we all replied.

I wondered if the girl was here somewhere. I was looking at Craig and he noticed. He got a kind of nervous look in his eyes. I rolled my eyes at him. He can be so serious and paranoid sometimes.

Ellie was just picking at her food.

"Not hungry?" I asked her.

"Not really. I'll probably be starving later but o well."

"Your coming over to my house after school right?" Ash asked her.

"Yeah."

"Marco, Craig you should come too. My parents and Toby are visiting Toby's aunt overnight but I'm staying home because I don't really know her and I'm allergic to her stupid bird."

"Your allergic to birds?"

"Not normally, hers is some weird exotic bird and I'm allergic to it's feathers. Anyway you guys wanna? Paige, Spin and Jimmy are coming. We're just gonna hang out because there's nothing better to do."

"Sure" We both agreed.

"What about Hazel?" I asked.

"Some friends of her parents are coming over for dinner and she has to be there."

"Oh, well yea we'll be there."

(Ellie's POV)

I was at my locker after school, getting a book before I went to Ashley's. Ash, Paige and Craig came up to my locker, waiting for me.

"Come on hun, everyone else is waiting outside."

Then Sean walked up. He of course wanted to talk. I told them to go ahead without me, that I'd be at Ashley's soon. They agreed and I was left in front of my locker with Sean.

"I know I'm just making excuses but I had to go with Jay."

"Had to?"

"He threatened to tell Raditch about the things that have gone missing, and he pointed out he wouldn't be as forgiving as Simpson. I could have lost student welfare and have to move to Alberta, Or Wasega. I swear I was thinking about you and how I didn't want to leave you."

I didn't know what to say, I felt so bad. I mean I was hurt yesterday but I guess I'm glad he blew me off. I wouldn't want him to move. Then I just hugged him. I told him I was sorry for over-reacting.

"Does this mean we're back together?" he asked.

"I think so." I couldn't help but smile.

We kissed and he held me. It felt good to be in his arms again. Kind of like how I felt when I hugged Craig. I felt safe, but that was more of a friend hug. When Sean hugged me it was more, obviously.

Finally, I remembered I had to go to Ashley's. I invited him but he said he told Mr. Ehl he'd help him with moving some stuff and getting the room back in order for the new year. He's so sweet.

As I walked down the hall towards the hall I put on my headphones. They were playing "She Paints Me Blue" by Something Corporate.

I walked out the doors and down the steps and realized someone was on one of the benches. I recognized him instantly. I took my headphones off my ears so they hung on my neck.

"Craig, what are you doing here?"

"I thought I'd wait for you so you wouldn't have to walk alone."

"Aw, thanks, but you didn't have to." We started walking.

"No biggie, plus I was a little curious to know what happened with Sean."

"Nosey much?"

"Well?"

"He had an excuse and I thought it was… ok. So we're back together!" I said laughing and then smiling.

"Cool." He said it in a weird tone but I brushed it off.

"Are you listening to Something Corporate?"

"Yea, how'd you know."

"Well their still playing, I can faintly hear the piano."

"ooooh."

"I wouldn't have guessed that you'd like them."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"No, I just meant your…"

"A Punk Rock Princess?"

"Yea, ok sorry I'm stereotyping aren't I."

"Well it's hard not to. But who'd of guessed Jimmy who loves rap and seems more like a rapper would be in a rock band."

"True, True. So, Princess, don't you need a garage band king?"

"Watch it Craig, I'm not single anymore."

"Oh, I know. I was talking about Spinner anyway." He said jokingly.

We just talked and laughed the rest of the way to Ash's house.
