"That little wh – Ow! What's with the pinching?" the blonde said as we entered my kingdom called home.
"My father is in his office, just down the hallway, if he hears us, he's going to make us help him, and trust me, being a doctor has its paperwork" I said whispering, hoping my dad hadn't heard us.
"Hi to you to Ella, Hi Shar" my darling daddy calmly called out from his office.
"Good afternoon Dan" Shar shouted back, as he poked out of his office door.
"Mom left you some cookies" and he went back in but came back out quicker than he left. "Oh and after, you can come into my office to help me tidy my paper work, thanks for reminding me Ell"
Groaning, I walked into the kitchen with Shar closely following behind.
"Anyway, shay you don't even know the poor girl, and Mr. Johnson seems too like his girlfriend of six years" I said, stretching six to make it have more emphasis.
"But – But he's so handsome" she muttered, angrily biting into her cookie.
"S -" "I'm Home" my brother shouted, interrupting my sentence, as he walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Shar, Hey Ells" he muttered, looking at the trey full of cookies "Oh, cookies" he said, stating the obvious. He took around about, how can I put this, the whole thing before walking off, mumbling a 'see you later' with his mouthful.
"Ugh, pig" I shouted before turning towards the distracted blonde.
"He's cute, how come I've never noticed, we've been friends for, what seven weeks know, and I've never known, oh my god my life has been wasted ..." downing out her life talk, I drowned in the words she had just said.
"I've been here for seven weeks?" I screeched my jaw dropping as I counted the days.
"You're such a loser" Shar said, throwing some crumbs at me before running of, laughing. Bitch.
"Note to self: never have sleepovers with the devil woman who goes by the name Sharpay Evans" I whispered to myself, as I headed towards the gym.
"Are you sure you're not mad?" the voice behind me whispered. Looking over my shoulder seeing the dark brown haired boy from lunch yesterday, I ranked my brain hoping to get his name right,
"TROY" I said, shouting gaining all the attention in the hallway, oh well I remembered his name, now that deserves an award.
"Yeah, I would shout your name too but you know, I don't want to look like a complete psycho just like you did" he said ending it with a sweet smile. Di – did he just insult me, well he has nerve.
"Hey I remembered your name, I'm never good at names, so sue me if I'm feeling happy" I said before picking up my pace, slightly hoping he would say something so I could give a better comeback, but as soon as I turned the corner I sneakily look around to find troy gone. Shrugging I pushed open the doors only to be bombarded with a pair of that belong to a person who smelt like they haven't heard of a thing called shower.
"Ells, you are gonna be my partner today and Sharpay is not going to say anything to get me outta this one"
"Right" I said slowly, trying not to breath. "Em, Dante .. How can I put this… you seriously smell, like you rolled around dogs accident"
"Hey, be nice I had football practice and I thought 'because I had gym after I'll save water and shower after" he said smiling at the pain on my face.
"Dante, please go and save all of us from dying and shower" I said trying to push him towards the boys changing rooms, only problem he weighs like an elephant. "Shoo smelly shoo" I said, as he laughed gaining all the attention in the gym.
"I'm going I'm going" he said, slowly walking towards the blue door.
Shaking my head as I sighed, with the back of my hand I dramatically wiped my forehead before walking the opposite directions towards the light pink door that had the white sign with a silhouette of a woman who had one leg and no hair. Looking back at the blue door, the guys didn't have one, however you could see the slight color different between where the actual door color and where the sign should be. Giggling to myself I turned back towards the pink door only to turn back around again by the voice of Sharpay.
"Ella!" she shouted, before running up to me "Where's Dante? He is not here right? I mean I can't see his so he can't be here, so that means you can be my partner. Yay." she said so quickly that it took me at least another thirty seconds before she finished, to finally realizing what she said.
"Sorry Shay but Dante's already asked me" I said as I pulled Shar's hand, leading her towards the girls changing rooms, we have exactly two minutes to get ready for gym.
"That's not fair" she said as she stomped her feet as walked into the changing rooms, "It's not fair" she shouted once more before cursing under her breath causing me to laugh silently.
Standing by the greenest grass, I scanned around the beautiful field not seeing my brother in sight. Sighing, I slowly scanned again only this time I was looking for anyone I knew. All around me I could hear was talking, laughing, giggling and the faint sound of The Script's music that was spilling out of my earphones. After looking twice around the field, I decided to just sit underneath a tree and finish any homework I had while listening to my favorite band. As I walked through the people sitting comfortably on the grass while others had chosen to sit on the benches, my eyes caught a dark brown haired boy who was under a tree and was drawing on his notebook. Breathing in and out, I lifted my bag strap pulling it over my head and leaving the bag to hit my thigh as I walked towards him, as I got closer he looked up and smiled.
"Hey, mind if I sit here?" I asked, hoping he would say yes. His blue orbs flashed with shock.
"S – Sure" he stuttered pulling the paper that was scattered around him making me some room. "Oh and I'm sorry if I offended you earlier, I didn't mean to I was joking" he said as he stuffed his papers into his bag.
"I wasn't offended, don't worry" giving him a reassuring smile before ruffling in my bag hoping to find my apple.
"Looking for something? Or are you trying to make room to hide in there?" He said, trying not to laugh.
"Oh ha – ha, no I'm looking for my a – there it is!" I said with pure excitement. Grabbing the red sphere, I took a big bite, carefully chewing on the deliciousness. Then I remembered the blue eyed boy in front of me. "Oh I'm being rude, would you like a bite?" I asked slightly extending my arm towards him.
He laughed "No thanks, but I wanted to ask you something" he asked, waiting for me to accept his request on asking questions.
"Shoot" taking another bite, I crossed my legs with my elbow resting on my left knee while my right hand held my beloved fruit.
"How did you know … my name?" he asked like he was a ten year old telling his first crush his feelings, he then took his sea – blue eyes away from me and towards the eyes that I ignored around us, facing towards me again, he seemed to blush slightly.
"Well Sharpay told me things about a few people and you came up and well I guess your name stuck with me, since I don't remember the others she talked about. But all I remember is that you're in a band" I told him missing out that part that he was usually seen by himself.
"Yeah but we do gigs and weddings, but you know … Is your earphones still playing?" he asked stopping his sentence, looking down I remembered the white earphones that was know on my lap.
"Yeah sorry" I said fumbling with my IPod turning it off.
"You like The Script?" He asked, smiling slightly.
"Doesn't everyone, I mean they're like legends" I said absent mindedly placing my IPod in my bag.
"Right" he replied, grinning. "Right" he repeated still smiling. Before I could ask any questions, the bell rang invading our convocation. Still facing him, we both stood up and headed towards the main building.
"So, erm, where's Sharpay?" he asked, turning his to face me as we walked into the busy hallway.
"Shar's catching up on her textiles course, and Dante had football practice along with my brother"
"Alex right?" he asked as we stopped at my locker, him leaning on Danielle's, a shy girl who has a love for books. Nodding, I gathered my History books before closing the door softly before resting my shoulder on the not so comfy metal door, facing Troy's blue eyes. Nodding his head towards the end of the hall, we both carried on walking, as people left their friends and stepped into their classrooms. Reaching my classroom, I turned towards Troy getting ready to thank him for escorting me to my class, but he was heading inside. Was he in my class?
"Come guys, lessons about to start" Mr. Harrison said as he rubbed the board. Walking behind Troy I sat in my seat which was smack right bang in the middle row. My eyes followed Troy as he sat in the back corner next to the window, he shot me smile before sitting down. Smiling back, I looked to my left as I heard the chairs move.
"Hey Ella, I'm sorry I couldn't have lunch with you today. Hope you didn't mind" Shar's voice said an apologetic look on her face.
"It was fine; did you finish your work?"
As Sharpay gushed about her work, and some gossip she heard, I heard the classroom door open, and Dante came walking though, quickly walking to his seat at the back. As History began I made myself completely listen to Mr. Harrisons every word, writing notes when needed, and not listening when needed. When the lesson ended, it was time to head home. Everyone had run out the class and my eyes quickly feel to the back of the class where Troy had sat, he was gone. Feeling a hand on my arm I whipped my head back around, seeing the blonde nodding towards the door.
"Let's go" Nodding Sharpay and I headed towards the door, before I stepped out I saw Dante sitting there with his team mate, talking to him intensely. I then decided to let him be, and go like Sharpay had said.
