Matthew slumped on his bed and let out a huge sigh. It has been a week since he left and he really wanted to try and forget about Elena but almost everything he did here, reminded him of her.
There was a fellow classmate of his whose hair color was exactly like Elena's and whose name was Elana. He normally felt his heart skip anytime he heard the teacher call her name.She was a reminder of Elena to him every time and it always hurt his heart."Gosh, it's getting so hard to forget her and her I thought that it would be easier, " he muttered to himself and sighed deeply.He had to do something to forget her, maybe hang out with some friends. He hasn't been able to make a lot of friends since he came and he knew why.Back then in school when he and Elena were much younger, he had always relied on her to make friends for him since he got shy whenever he talked to people and thaElena glanced at her phone and sighed. So this is how it was going to be, huh? Maybe hasn't called her once since he traveled to Australia as an exchange student.She had expected him to call at least once, just to let her know that he has seen the school and was adjusting to the environment but he didn't call, not even sending a text message.He didn't even bother telling his mom or, if he decides that he doesn't want to contact her directly, he should have told Silver about it but he didn't, or so she thinks.She groaned inwardly and decided to swallow her pride. She had made up her mind not to call him or text him until he texted her but she has to do so before him.She got up from her bed and decide to go downstairs. She should at least get Mom if she had gotten any texts or if Matthew's mom told her anything about Matthew's arrival or the way his school was."Good morning Mom," she greeted, cheerfully as she walked into the kitchen.Her Mom was baking some cupcakes and making pan
"What? No way! "Silver gasped."Yes way," Elena said, fattening her seat belt and closing the passenger's door well."Is he in there now? With your mom?" She asked, glancing at Elena's house."Yes. He's still in there. He actually offered to take me to school but I refused. It will be kind of embarrassing to arrive at school in his car and that will make the school gossip see something new to gossip about me, " Elena said, rolling her eyes. "why did you refuse? It would have given them something to talk about, yes, but it would have also made them know their place when it's time to talk about you," Silver said."Let's just go. I have a feeling that my mom is watching us. That woman won't let me rest especially since she had just shown me that her relationship with my principal had gotten to a higher level and not just a normal Fling that she usually has.""Wow. Still can't believe this, " Silver said, proofing the keys in the ignition and driving away from Elena's mom's driveway. Th
“Don't even bother asking her. She is probably still recovering from the shock that she just received this morning," Silver said to Gaby, nodding her head at Elena. "Shock? Okay, this is really getting more interesting. Tell me what happened. I'm dying of curiosity right now," Gaby said, pleading with Silver. "I'll tell you myself, " Elena said quietly after some time, "If I let her tell herself, she must even tell you things that didn't happen," Elena said, glaring at silver. "What do you mean?" Silver asked, smiling. "You know what I mean. Like how you told her what didn't happen that last time? No way I'm letting you tell hey anything that concerns me again," Elena said. "Okay, enough of the blame shifting and hands pointing, tell me what happened. I'm sitting out of curiosity here and you guys are busy pointing hands," Gaby said, pouting. "Alright, alright. I'll tell you, let's just get somewhere safe. I don't want to talk about it here where the walls have ears. Especially
Gaby sighed as she walked to the ladies' toilet in the school. She had taken an excuse from miss Thompson to use the toilet even while the class was still in session. She hurriedly opened the door of the toilet and entered one, quickly easing herself. As soon as she relieved herself, she got out and moved to the sink, staring at her face in the mirror and she washed her hands. She knew exactly why Jeremy wanted to see her and has been avoiding him since. The last time she had a conversation with him, it had not turned out well. She had been watching her favorite drama on TV in her bedroom when he knocked on the door. If she had known who it was, she wouldn't have opened the door for him. She had thought that it was Craig who was at the door so she got up from her seat and quickly opened the door, not bothering to look at the face of the person or even asking who it was. She had just opened the door and walked straight back to the couch to continue watching her movie, a mistake sh
"Gaby? Gaby?! " Silver called as she stared at Gaby who was looking at her face in the mirror, in a daze.She stared at her and watched as Gaby still stared at her face in the mirror, wondering why she was being that way."Gaby?!" Elena called, also glancing at her worriedly."Huh?" Gaby said, shaking it off herself back to reality."What's wrong? Your weekend staring at your face in the mirror, looking dazed. Were you daydreaming?" Silver asked, looking at her worriedly."Uh? No. I guess I was just trying to see if I can see my facial pores from here in the mirror," Gaby lied, forcing a smile on her face at them."Oh..I see. But If that's what you were doing, then you would have noticed it when we came in here, wouldn't you? "Elena asked, glancing at her suspiciously."I would have, yes, if I had not been too focused on my face. I didn't notice you guys because I was too focused on checking for the pores, though I might have heard some sounds of you guys I didn't want to distract mys
Elena checked her phone for the thousandth time that evening, neither had Matthew replied to any of her texts nor had he sent her a message. It had been almost two weeks since he left and she had sent him a message on almost every social media platform she knew he had but she hadn't gotten a reply.She scrolled through the pictures on her phone with a small smile on her face. They were pictures of her and Matthew, pictures that she barely knew who had taken them or when they were taken. Most of the pictures were beaming with happiness and smiles, something that rarely happened when taking pictures with others. Even Gaby and Silver didn't have that ability.Her phone suddenly buzzed with a video call and Elena immediately sat up with a surprised expression on her face. She quickly picked up the call smiling as soon as a girl's face came into view. The girl had a pile of purple hair packed up in abun and held with a pencil. She was donned in a tank top and with the way she was sweating,
"Could you please tell Grandma I'll be coming over for a few days?" Elena asked grabbing a toast from the plate of food on the dining table.Clara stared at her daughter for two seconds and immediately nodded her head. "Sure, sure. I'll ring her up and let her know" she replied walking towards the kitchen to pick up her phone."When do you want to go?" She asked."After school" Elena replied her reply immediately throwing Clara off balance."You mean after school today?" She asked rushing into the dining room to see Elena's quite very calm face."Yes," Elena replied taking a gulp of her tea."Elena, about yesterday…." Clara trailed off but paused in the middle seeing the way her daughter was staring at her."Mom, could you not ask about it?" Elena asked in a small voice that made Clara think she would burst into tears the very next minute. It was the softest Clara has ever seen her daughter. She slowly nodded her head while beaming a smile, "Sure. I won't ask anything" she replied s
Elena could read the surprise on the counsellor’s face after she had asked for the rest of the week off. She had missed school for days before she even hadn’t asked for permission. Asking for permission was so not part of what Elena did, well, usually.Elena rolled her eyes seeing Sarah leaning on the wall as soon as she stepped out of the counsellor’s office.“Seeing the way you look like and the way Gaby flared up when something merely stepped on her in class, I want to believe that Craig broke up with you and Gaby had something to do with it,” Sarah said with a snarl and Elena rolled her eyes.“Is this something you put on your to-do list? Every day?” Elena asked with a blank face before shaking her head.“I am warning you, Sarah, you stay away from me” Elena added attempting to walk away but Sarah was quick to block her path.“Not so fast Elena” Sarah replied.“Craig broke up with you, right? He had something with Gaby right? They always looked so weird though so it’s no surprise”
