Everly

Elliot showed up to my place the next morning. He said we should go to school together. I told him, that Abby was actually picking me up and I cannot ditch her.

"Okay, then I will carpool with her today." He simply added.

"How will you go home?"

To which he smiled and said, "I have ways." He was not joking about that. Abby was more than happy to drop him to school.

I looked outside the window and did not say anything through out the trip.

"Are you going out with Aiden like that?" Abby said, putting me on spot and Elliot leaned in.

"She is not going out with him."

I turned to look at him and said, "Actually I am."

To which he raised one of his eyebrow at me and leaned back to the seat and scowled at me. Abby felt the tension between us rise as she drove us to school. She wanted to comment, but she did not know what to say: it was all clear in her face.

Elliot stuck by my side and walked me to my locker and classes.

"Can you not do these?" I asked, when I see the eyes following us.

"Do what?" He asked innocently.

"Follow me around. Go and follow Brianna or someone else." I said.

"I want to follow you." He said and I simply glared at him.

"Why are you being so mean to me?" He asked.

I scoffed. "Don't follow me around." I warned him.

"Okay." He said and I was surprised at how easily he give in. "I will follow your bag then." He added.

"What?"

"Since I can't follow the owner, I will follow the bag." He give me a cheeky smile, that I wanted to smack him.

"You are annoying today." I pointed out.

"And you are moody, is it the time of the month?"

"Why do you think my moodiness have to do with my period? I can't be moody without you assuming I have my period?" I snapped at him and he was surprised at my sudden emotion and so was I. "Stop following me and go and do what you usually do, that is hang out with your group." And turned and walked away from him.

My guilt was consuming me after that sudden outburst of emotion with Elliot this morning. I think my moodiness has to do with yesterday and I wanted to scold myself for even showing any emotion or getting bother by any emotion. Elliot got into a fight with some jocks during lunch and the whole school was excited about what happened as everyone started buzzing about what they have seen or heard. Once the school ended. I see Aiden standing near my locker. He was wearing a button up shirt with a sweater on top and jeans with sneaker.

"Everly." He calls out as soon as he saw me.

"Hey." I said.

He moved away a little to allow me space to put my things away and grab the things I needed to take it home with me.

"Do you have any idea what movie you want to watch?" He asked.

Honestly, I have no idea what movie is available in the theatre, so I said. "Not really, you know any good one?"
