Sorry it took awhile to update! But here it is!
Ellie walked into her psych classroom. She had spent more time getting ready then she had most of the year. Her outfit was not the usual sweatshirt and sweatpants, she usually wore to her classes. She wanted to stand out in case she saw Chris there. He was cute and available and obviously interested in her, in a way that Craig was not. After she had talked to him at the Coffee Shop, she had thought about Craig and decided that she could not love him anymore; she needed to get over him. It was just something she needed to do. Even if this Chris guy ended up being nothing like her and it didn't work out, it was a step that would help her move on.
"Is this sit taken?" Ellie looked into Chris's warm eyes.
"It is now." She smiled at him, and he sat down. She couldn't help but notice how attractive he was. The way his hair just slightly feel over his dark eyes was mesmerizing. He looked over at her and smiled.
"So how's Craig?" He smirked as she rolled her eyes.
"I am so sorry about the way he acted towards you. Seriously. He is my best friend, and I guess typical guy, just gets really protective over me. I'm so sorry."
"That's ok. I guess I understand. I mean, if I was best friends with you, I wouldn't really want any guys with you, too."
"It's not like that, he just wants me to be with a really good guy, and he doesn't know you. But I'm sure after we hang out and he meets you again, he won't act like that." Chris grinned.
"So we're hanging out, huh?" She smiled.
"Well I just figured that since you're so obviously infatuated with me, that we would for sure hang out." They laughed.
"Well of course. I was actually thinking that we could go to this place called, 'The Singing Room'. It's this really cool…" Ellie interrupted him.
"I love that place! It was one of the first places I went when I moved here. They have the coolest bands play there."
"I know!" He lowered his voice, "You know, rumor has it that The Ramones first performance was there."
"Seriously! So you like the Ramones?" She grinned.
"Umm, they're like my favorite band! Their songs were the first ones I learned how to play on my guitar."
"Wow." Another tall dark musician? Maybe this will work out better than I thought….
"Can we please change the channel?" Craig pleaded with Ellie as he plopped down on her couch.
"Craig! This is my apartment! Besides, the show is almost over. Just deal with it, ok?" Craig shot her a hurt look. "You are such a baby" She turned her attention back to the T.V as a pillow hit the side of her face. She turned over to Craig who was laughing, "You're not funny! Jerk!" They both started to laugh, but begin to watch the show again.
After a few minutes of silence, Craig looked over at Ellie. He couldn't help but notice how cute she looked when she was concentrated on something. It was the same face she would make when she was determined to play the drums. It was undeniably cute.
"So, El… how was psych class today? Talk to any creeps?" He smiled as she rolled her eyes.
"As a matter of fact, I did talk to this really cool guy, and we're going out tomorrow night." A pang hit him, but he chose to ignore it.
"Ohhh really? Well that's great El." He said sarcastically, " Where's he taking you? The mall?"
She looked over at him and gave him a doubtful look, "OK, first of all, your joke sucked, and second of all, no he's not, he's actually taking me to 'The Singing Room'. So he's cooler than you think." He snickered.
"Well, that just proves it. He's been stalking you and knows that you love that place."
"Well obviously, but what's so wrong with stalking?" She flashed him a teasing smile.
Craig smiled back, but on the inside it was really bothering him. He didn't know why. He was with Manny. He loved Manny. He could have chosen Ellie, but he didn't. Him and Ellie were just best friends, Right?
There you go! Hope you liked it! Remember to Review!
