A/N: so this chapters kinda boring a little….not to good but it kinda connects the story and I can't just throw it out…sorry if its lame. My minds kinda crammed with other stuff so I can't think clearly on how I want this story to turn out thanks for the reviews and reading the story period.
Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi…..Kevin Smith is one of the people in that category…
Ellie sat in Craig's garage playing the drums like usual.
An awkward feeling had taken over the garage though.
None of them ever said a word during practice, Ellie always felt like it was awkward while they practice, they just seemed too serious.
The only voice that was heard was Craig's when he sang.
But this time it was different.
Her and Craig hadn't really been acting like themselves around one another he was cold and distant, and she was sick of it.
She was sick of everyone.
"Ok, stop." He said looking at Ellie. What did she do this time?
She sighed deeply under her breath and bit her lip.
"Ok you're too off beat. Why is it so hard for you to start playing as soon as I say?" He asked her frustrated.
"You know what. I quit then ok?" She told everyone throwing down her drumsticks.
"If I suck so badly then I'm done."
"Ellie just sit down." Marco told her trying to mellow her out.
This was the last straw Craig was always criticizing the way she played she knew she wasn't the best, that's why her and Craig practiced every other day.
She grabbed her bag off of the old tore up couch that Joey had decided to throw in the garage and left.
"What is her problem!" Craig asked looking from jimmy to Marco.
"Well you see, if I was into girls, particularly Ellie. Then I'd ask her." Marco told Craig while he set down his bass and sat on the couch.
"He's right man, just go see what's up." Jimmy told Craig.
"Fine." This was the second time Craig had chased after Ellie.
He wouldn't feel like such a loser if it wasn't the same girl.
"Ellie what's the matter?" He asked a little ways behind her.
She picked up her pace ignoring him but so did he.
"Stop and talk to me!" He yelled.
She stopped suddenly and turned around Craig almost running into her.
"I need time to think okay Craig?"
"Think about what?" He asked.
"Just-everything." She whispered closing her eyes hoping that the tears would go away.
Craig hated her like this, the one thing he hated about Ellie Nash was the fact that she wouldn't open up to anyone.
If it happened it was almost like a dream come true and that wasn't very often.
"We're best friends." He reminded her.
"That's just it Craig. I-I just…I don't wanna be around you anymore. I just want to be alone for a while okay?"
"Wait, what?" He asked hoping that he had heard her wrong.
"I need some time away from you, and the band and just everyone." She told him again.
"I don't get it though." Ellie shook her head and walked away from him.
He wanted to rip his hair out.
He hated when she would just walk away leaving him confused.
He hated it.
"Ok, why does it look like someone took your guitar and smashed it to pieces?" Marco asked walking up to Craig.
Craig looked Marco in the eye.
"Ellie doesn't want to be around me…or you or Jimmy….for a while."
Marco's mouth dropped Ellie Nash? His best friend since forever?
"She said she needed time to think." Craig finished plopping down on the couch running his hands through his hair like he did whenever he was upset or nervous.
"God, why does she have to piss me off so much?" "Because you like her so much, that you let it get to you." Marco told him.
"It's obvious man, the way you look at her. You can just tell." Jimmy added from across the garage.
It was like Marco knew exactly what was going on in Craig's mind.
Like he was picking through his brain finding new ways to counsel new problems that popped up.
And Jimmy just observed closely enough to notice every little smile and look Craig and Ellie gave each other.
"Yeah." Craig muttered under his breath.
He had it bad.
A/N: So an alright chapter? Hope so. And I also hope you review oooh yea and a little info about chapter 5….i realize that Manny is a grade lower than Ellie and Craig but like…it was 2:30 in the morning my mind wasn't completely there…so I'm just kinda leaning toward the fact that some juniors and seniors may have classes together if they're electives. Which is true in most cases. Lol welp hope you enjoy. Plz review so I know to finish this story, Even though I wouldn't mind wasting my time writing this even if I got zero reviews haha
