Macy and Elijah-Chapter 4

By the second week I had slowly started to fit into Degrassi, it really wasn't that bad of a school. Adam and I sat together at lunch every day, he'd talk to me about Drew's most embarrassing moments, and most of them had to do with girls. I loved sitting with Adam but I'd noticed the green eyed boy, Eli. That's how Adam had called him when he told me he had emptied out my tray. Well that same green eyed boy was now sitting alone. I didn't like the boy at all but I knew Adam missed him, I could hear it in the tone of his voice and in the small moments when he grew quiet sensing someone was staring at him, to find Eli looking straight at him.

"Adam" I said, he suddenly stopped scrambling about Drew's alarm clock ringing this morning.

"What happened with you and Eli, I mean aren't you two like best mates?"

"He just said some stuff that weren't right and in the spur of the moment I did too"

I sat quiet.

He tried to give me a playful laugh, "I guess were both too full of pride to apologize to one another"

"Was it about me…I mean what he said?"

Adam nodded and then looked down.

I suddenly felt a spurge of pain and sadness and before I could stop myself I stood up and began to walk toward the tree. Adam just stared at me, not believing what was happening just like me.

Eli lifted his head up from his large chapter book once he heard the sound of the leaves crackling under my feet. He stared at me as I got closer with every step. When I was almost at the same level as he, he opened his mouth, "No, I need to say what I need to say! Look I get it, how I snapped at you was probably crazy but I'm just not a fan of people like you but your Adam's best friend. I don't know why he chose you but he did and I have to accept that. So please…I don't care what you said about me just talk to him, settle your differences because if there's one thing I can't stand more than you is seeing Adam sad"

I gasped for air. He sat their staring at me, and then looked behind me where Adam was.

I turned around and pointed toward Adam "Go!" he stood up and placed his hands in the air as in defeat. He began to walk away.

"Wait" I said in a soft tone, I was surprised when he turned around, I looked down to the floor as I whispered "Thank you for throwing away the food tray that belonged to the crazy chick the other day"

He stood straight with his eyes focused on me, I knew he was trying to come up with the perfect thing to say but I wasn't going to wait. So I walked away.

After being out of the view of both Eli and Adam I ran to my locker and took out his photo. They both had the same green eyes, which you'd get lost into. And the breathtaking smile and rusty self-esteem was also the same.
