-Unexpected-

I start to walk over to one of the outside table to meet Ellie and I notice someone else sitting beside her. As I come closer I realized that it was her best friend, Marco, who also happened to be the guy my best friend loves to torment even more than Ellie. As I took a seat on Ellie's opposite side they both became quiet. Doesn't that just make you feel comfortable?

"Sean, could talk to you for a second?" I heard him ask me quietly.

Looking at Ellie with questioning eyes I wait for her to mouth "it's fine" before I followed Marco off to the side. "What's up man?"

"Just watch out for her." I could tell he was upset about something.

"What do you mean man?"

"Just promise me you'll keep an eye one her for me." He pleaded, I could tell he was just looking for a way to calm himself.

"I will." I gave a small smile looking back to the redhead sitting alone at the picnic table. "Don't worry I will."

"Thanks." He finished off by giving my shoulder a light pat and walking off in the opposite direction. Thinking of what me and Marco just talked about I walk back over to the table.

"Hey Sean." She greeted me as I placed a kiss to her cheek.

"Yeah hey." I can see why Marco was worried about her, she wasn't acting herself lately. And I did worry about her, I always want to make sure she is happy and secure. Then I hear the familiar sound of a rubber band snapping back against skin. "Seems that your new treatment is working out well."

"Yeah sorry." She replied weakly, covering the wrist she just caused slight pain upon.

"Nah, don't be if it helps you then do it." I smirked as her lips curved into a smile.

"I'm okay now."

"Good," I express my relief by placing a brief peck on her bare lips. As I pulled away I saw that smile she had held seconds before come back to surface. "So," I start thinking to myself.

"So?" She mimicked with a little giggle at the end.

"Tomorrow, you and me should rent a movie. Order a pizza?"

"Yeah, that would be perfect."

"At your house this time?" I asked placing an arm around her waist. But once I had muttered those words, her entire body had stiffened up. She pulled herself away from me, and shook her head, causing her hair to shake loose.

"Maybe your house would be better."

The way she was acting, she seemed so uncomfortable, I didn't know how to reply. "Is something wrong, El?"

I noticed her flinch even though it was such a light flinch no one else would notice I did. Then she again shook her head, which sent her hair in different directions once again. "No, no. Just my mom, she uh doesn't want anyone over the house.

"Oh, that's cool. I'll just pick you up and we can go to my house."

"Or I could just meet you at your house. But tomorrow at six." She gave me a smile which anyone who had eyes could see it was forced.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later." I grabbed my lunch tray and walked away continuing to watch her and witnessed her again snapping the band against her forearm. Then turning back around I enter the building to dispose of the contents of my left over lunch. Why was she acting so strange? It was almost like she was hiding something from me. I guess I'm just gonna have to do what Marco suggested, keep an eye on her.
