Chapter - 5

Knock knock **

" Who is it ? " I yawned as I opened my eyes to this reality . Noo - I want more sleep .

" Good morning . It's me . Can I come in ? " asked Olly, popping his head in the room .

" Oh hey ! Sure . What's up ? Are you ok ? " I asked him sitting upright . " Yeah I'm fine . I didn't use my phone much so I didn't text you back . I'm sorry . I see you've sent me like a hundred messages . " He said, showing me his phone as he entered .

" Ya - about that - who doesn't text or let somebody know that they won't be there . Like - I waited for an hour . " I rambled . " What if something had happened to you ? What was I supposed to do ? And not even a chance to text me back like - I don't know - Hey Ells , I'm already home . " I went on and on .

" I'm sorry . Come on Ells . " he said sitting at the edge of my bed .

" I wanted to flip you upside down and kick you . " I said, pointing an accusing finger towards him . " You literally scared me . "

" Woah . " he surrendered .

" Don't you dare not text me back ever again . " I warned him .

" I swear I will always text you back from now on mom . " He said, rolling his eyes .

" Don't you dare roll your eyes at me . " I said, trying to hit him .

" I said sorry . " he said standing up and getting away from me, making me fall on my face and also making both of us laugh .

" Sorry about that . I was just worried . I thought something happened . " I said truthfully after sitting properly .

" I was just not feeling well . " I nodded . " Although I'm glad at least there'll be someone worried if I get kidnapped or something, " he said . " I've got your back, bestie . " I winked .

" Ya no . Please don't ever wink ever . " he said with a disgusted face . " Heyy - I can wink . " I threw my pillow at him . He threw it back . I was about to throw it back when he ran out of my room .

" I can wink . " I yelled

After eating breakfast , Me and Olly were on our way to school when we met Sam .

" Oh hey Sam ! "

" Hi Ellie . " Olly and Sam did a handshake with some eye gestures . Just some things guys did I guess .

" Oh Ell , I think I forgot my English homework . I'll go back and bring it . I'll see you in a while at school ? " said Olly . " We had no homework yesterday . " I said with confusion .

Olly then stared at Sam for a while and said , " Not of yesterday . I had some left from the um- week before . I promised I would submit it today . I'll be in school after some time . You guys go on . "

" Um . Ok ? " I was confused . " Ya dude . See you in school . " said Sam with a glare .

" What ? I'm just trying to - "

" YA . Ok . See you in school Olliver . " said Sam quickly cutting him off . Olly just muttered something and jogged in the opposite direction .

" That was weird . " I commented . " Totally . " said Sam with a deep breath .

" So how is your morning going on ? " I asked . " Pretty good actually . " he smiled .

***

It was our acting class and me and Sam were rehearsing our parts .

" You are good at this . I know you're gonna be Mia . " Sam said .

" Thank you . You're not so bad yourself . You'd make a good Josh too . "

" Thank you, milady . " bowed Sam, making me laugh .

Me and Sam were in the cafeteria eating and talking when Brune and Olly walked in .

" Heya ! " Brune greeted us . " Hi " we greeted her back .

" You were not in English . Where were you? " I asked Olly . " Oh . I was just bored so I came late . "

" Homework ? " I questioned . He just looked at me blankly .

" You went home to bring your homework . " I reminded him .

" Ya . Your English homework Olliver . " said Sam loudly . " Oh ya right .Uh - umm - I did submit it just a few minutes ago, " said Olly with a little panic .

" Boys Ellie . Just ignore them . " Brune told me . I just nodded my head . Something did seem fishy .

" Sam ? Switch . " said Brune . " Oh uh . I'm fin- " he said but Brune cut him off . " Come on . We're girls . We got some stuff to talk about . "

" Ya right . Ok . " he got up and Brune and I sat together . Olly just shook his head with a smile .

" Oh my god . " said Brune looking behind me . " What ? " I said and turned around . " Whoa "

There they were - Lisa and Gabriel , hand in hand talking and laughing . They were headed towards us .

" Hi people . " Lisa greeted us with a huge smile on her face . " Someone seems very happy . " Brune commented .

" Well come on . Give us some tea then . " said Brune and pulled Lisa down where we were sitting . Gabriel just went and sat with the guys and they started talking .

" So . What did you do ? " I asked with excitement . " We just went to the beach . We had some snacks and drinks and we talked and that was it . " she said .

" I'm officially jealous, " said Brune . " When's the next date ? " I asked . " I don't know . Anytime we want I guess . "

" I'm with Brune in the jealous part . " I said .

Just after eating and talking about pretty much everything including how being single is soo great , the bell rang . We had a little project to do - cleaning the theatre room . That was the assignment from our acting teacher Mr. Yem . As Lisa and Olly had no classes now , they were helping us too .

" Are you guys still cleaning the theatre room ? " asked Gabriel . " Yes . " I said .

" Can we join too ? " he said referring to Brune and himself . " Don't you have classes ? "

" No . It's P.E . Coach is absent today . " he said . " Great . Let's go then . "

We all went to our respective lockers , kept our bags and books and headed to the theatre room .With only 9 of us , it would take a long time to clean .
