Chapter 12

(Ellie's POV)

I walked in and the halls weren't really full. I was a little early and I didn't even notice. I went to my locker and did what you do at your locker, got books. While I was there Alex walked up. There were more people coming into the school.

"Hey"

"Hey"

"How are you."

"Better, I just hope people don't ask me that all day."

"They probably will."

"Yea."

"You know, he realized what a complete idiot he was."

"Oh really." I responded in a very unenthusiastic voice.

"Yea, but you know he won't let you know that."

"uh huh"

I didn't need that last book. I put it back and closed my locker. Then sat down in front of it.

"So let me just make a prediction, a warning you could say." She sat down next to me. "He's gonna waltz in here like nothing happened, like you don't exist. But when he actually sees you, you'll be able to tell that's not what he's thinking."

"Honestly, I don't care."

She looked at me.

"Ok, I care but I'm trying not too. I've been thinking about it and I've realized after how he acted even if he wanted to get back together, I can't get back together with him."

"Oh, thank god. I was trying for the whole supportive thing but if you had taken him back I would have slapped you."

I had to laugh at that. I knew it was true. Then Craig came up and Alex started to stand.

"I gotta go." she said to me. As she was getting up Craig started to say something.

"So, ho-"

"Don't ask. It get's old." Alex stopped him before she left. Yea, Alex was pretty cool.

"Ok." He sat down next to me. "Now I don't know what to say."

"Say 'Hello Ellie. My, your looking radiant this morning.'"

"That's just a little too cheesy for me."

"Oh, of course."

We sat there talking and then Ashley came up.

"Hey." she said getting a book from her locker only a few down from mine.

"Hey." we both replied.

"Don't you think we should be getting to homeroom?"

"Do we have to? The floor is amazingly comfortable."

"Yes I know. But we gotta go get up."

Craig got up and Ashley pulled me up reluctantly.

"I'll meet you guys there." Craig said. "I still have to go to my locker."

"Ok." we said. Me and Ash linked arms and started towards Simpson's room.

"So how are you?"

I rolled my eyes. "I'm fine!" I said laughing a bit.

"Really?"

"Yea I guess I got all my grieving out last night. To Craig, and Marco and of course all by my self."

"I have to admit I'm glad I get you after all that."

"I mean I'm still sad about it but I've gotten to think and I've realized that crying about it and harping on it won't make it better."

"All in one night."

"Yea well I sort of took a page from your experience and didn't want to go through that."

She gave me a mock-offended look.

"It feel's like we haven't hung out in a loooong time."

"Well, we have but not much out side of school."

"Yea."

"Ok, so I'm guessing your going to the show tomorrow... now?"

"Yea, I guess."

"Ok, then you'll come over after and stay at my house and we can hang, catch up."

"Sounds good, I'm getting a tiny bit sick of guys."

"Just a bit?" She said holding her thumb and pointer finger almost together with her free arm (you know what I mean, measuring a bit with her fingers).

"Just a bit." I said doing the same.

(Craig's POV)

I went to my locker, and as I turned away and turned the corner who do I run into but Sean. Accompanied by Jay of course.

"Watch It."

"Yea, you too."

I went around them and Jay pushed me as I went past him.

"What's your problem?"

"You."

"Really? I thought Sean was the one who hated me?"

"I do."

"Well don't blame me for what happened."

"So your gonna tell me you don't like her?"

Sean was right in front of me. Jay backed off, just leaning against a locker watching. I had a few inches on Sean. But let's be honest I'm tall… but lanky. He's not as tall, but strong.

"So what if I do, even I know nothing would have happened. I know better then to go after someone's girlfriend."

"Yea, he knows first hand." Jay chimed in.

"Look, I'm not gonna fight with you, even though I'll be honest, I wouldn't mind punching you for hurting Ellie. But it was all you. Now you have to deal with the consequences."

And then I just turned and went to homeroom.
