Chapter 17: Mystery man
Ella: W-Who are you?
Boy: Shayde. You know me Ella Smith.
Ella: I really don't! And why'd you kiss me?
Shayde: you really don't remember me, do you?
Ella: No. If I have not made that clear, I do not.
Shayde: We were in 1st grade together. Yes, you and me were at Fernando the Second Elementary (AN: I know, the most random name). It was lunch and we were by the basketball court. We were talking with our friends and Kayla, you're friend...
I remember Kayla. She was my best friend in the whole world! Until Middle School. In 7th grade, she backstabbed me. For Mackenzie Macintosh. She was a grade A bitch. She used to bully me for wearing pants instead of skirts. Sweatshirts instead of cute jackets...bitch. Well she got Kayla to join her army of wannabes. Kayla then would bully and tease me. But not in the friend way. Since then, I've hated that girl for the rest of my life.
Shayde: ...said that we had to kiss. Back then, I had a crush on you when we were little. We kissed, and never spoke to each other again. Until I found you. You never even noticed. But I was here. For 3 years.
It all made sense now. The purple and black hair, and pale skin. But the glowing purple eyes were new.
Ella: Shayde...
Shayde: That wasn't my name. I changed it. Remember? Before it was Ben. But I changed it because I didn't want anyone noticing me.
I hugged him. I didn't know why. But I felt safe around him. I felt my childhood when I was around him. He hugged me back. I started crying, remembering the real world and how everybody I ever knew was there.
Ella: Shayde. I miss home.
Shayde: I know.
He let go of me and dried my eyes.
Ella: Let's go inside.
He snaked his arm around my waist and we walked inside. Seeing Blazette and Micheal finishing their conversation and their food, they saw us walking in.
Micheal: hey who's this?
Ella: um...guys, this is Shayde. Shayde, this is Micheal and Blazette. Shayde was my...friend...from elemtary school.
Shayde: Nice to meet you guys!
Blazette: yeah you too. W-Would you like something to eat?
Shayde: Nah I'm okay. Had something before.
Jack walked out of his room in his boxers. Only his boxers. His hair was messed up and h was "fixing" it my screwin with it. As soon as I saw him, I slapped Shayde's arm down from my waist and he looked at me in confusion.
Ella: H-Hey Jack!
Jack: Hey Ella
He walked over to me and kissed me on the forehead and walked over to the kitchen, getting some bacon.
Jack: Hey who's this?
Jack said, straightening out. Trying to be the same build and height of Shayde.
Shayde: Shayde. Me and Ella were friends in elementary school.
Jack: Oh that's cool. Ella, the stuff u had me get yesterday is all in the storage room.
Ella: Okay, thanks. Jack, come with me. Be right back Shayde.
Shayde: Kay
I took Jack to my room and closed the door.
Ella: Jack. Let me tell you something.
Jack: Yas?
Ella: Well, I think Shayde likes me. So, just don't be jealous.
Jack started laughing out loud. Why?
Ella: Why are you laughing?
Jack: Because I know when guys like girls. And he doesn't like you!
Ella: yeah he does! He took my waist.
Jack: whatever you say, sweet cakes!
He got up and left. How could he? It was obvious he was into me! Whatever...I'll just have to prove to Jack that he's into me!
do we have a little bet going on?
