Chapter 35
Eleanor's POV.
A gasp of shock escaped my lips as I stared in confusion at the two boys, I hadn't expected Henry to say that but now that he had I couldn't find it in me to correct him.
I wanted Charles to know that I had already moved on too, since he was moving on with Annie, I didn't want to appear pathetic like I was still hung up on the relationship.
I blinked rapidly as Charles turned to me. "What is he saying El?" He asked and I frowned at him.
"I've told you not to call me that. And he's right. Henry and I are dating," I said, feeling confidence run up my spine as Henry nodded, smirking when Charles turned to him.
"Are you sure, Eleanor? You know who Henry is don't you?" Annie finally spoke for the first time and anger surged through me.
Who the hell was she to tell me about other people when she was as much as a betrayer than anybody else.
"Don't give me that crap," I said to her as

Eleanor's POV.Henry was funny in a stupid annoying way, we still sat in the clearing till it was past eight and we had completely lost track of time as he told me about the time he had gone canoeing with his friends and they had stolen the paddles, trapping him in the middle of the lake.He had swam back to shore and they laughed at him till dawn.Listening to him talk so casually about his friends and the time he spent with them made me realize how lonely and friendless I really was.I didn't even have any memory of hanging out with Tina. She was mostly taking care of her cats, or her Grandma's cat or her neighbor's cat. In summary, Tina valued cats more than our friendship and I didn't really mind either.The times we spent in school were enough for me because when I got home I usually talked with Annie. We gossiped about college boys and I remember being impatient about going to college too.Bu

Henry's POV.I pulled my bike to a stop in front of Eleanor's house and she got down from behind me. It was late and I knew I had to go home and get enough rest for practice tomorrow.I didn't realize how easy it was talking to Eleanor until I had told her about the time I went canoeing with my friends. There were some things I couldn't tell George or Leopard because I had an image to live up to when it came to them.And Jane was just a fuck buddy, she never really let me speak when we hung out except to ask my opinion on what color of lipstick to wear.But Eleanor was really good at listening, I didn't know if it was because she had very little going on that she didn't have much to talk about because she just wanted to listen to me.Either way, this had been one of the most peaceful evenings I have had in a while and that's why I had suggested taking her to my secret hideout some other time. I haven't ta

Eleanor's POV.Weekend was for sleeping in but I couldn't sleep all night. I laid awake with the panda Henry had gotten me in my arms as I listened to Billie Eilish's Lonely.My thoughts were all over the place concerning the fake dating and while it seemed interesting and exciting I couldn't help the thought that something bad could eventually come out of it.I squeezed the panda in my hand and turned around as I was facing the window, the sun shone through the curtains, resting against my face in a warm sensation.It was past ten and I still hadn't gotten up from bed. I had planned to look for a part time job today because I didn't want to spend my free time at home where Annie and Charles could be eating each other's faces.There was a small restaurant a few miles away from school that was looking for a waitress. I sighed, pu

Henry's POV.Saturdays were for practice and gym. Coach wasn't giving us any breathing space to have fun this year as every free time was occupied with training for the opening game next weekend.I dropped the dumbbell and took a deep breath as I heard laughter from behind me. I and the team were currently in the school gym doing exercise and warming up before practice."Yo, that Emy girl was hot." One of the players, Jason said while running on the treadmill."She's hot but evil, trust me. She made practice hell for me last time," Colson said, he was the youngest of us all and most times people didn't take him as a serious player because he wore big glasses and looked like a nerd for most times.But unknown to them he was one of our best players. Coach didn't care much for how you looked but if you could play. That was what mattered to him the most.Honestly, every single player was special in their own way and con

Henry's POV.I dropped the dumbbell and it fell on my floor narrowly missing my feet as I stared up at George like he had grown a second head."Why her? You don't even like brunettes, you prefer blondes so why are you going after her?" I asked him and he shrugged before stepping closer to me."I want to try something new," He said but I knew that was all bullshit.I didn't like Tina like I did Eleanor but I didn't want Eleanor getting angry with me for not trying to protect her friend from something as silly as what George was suggesting."There are also brown haired girls. Leave her alone.""Wooo woo! Hugging all the girls to yourself, aren't you Henry?" Ray cut in laughing. "You want to fuck Eleanor and her best friend too?""The king is back!" Fitch cheered, coming to slap my back as he took my hand and raised it in the air."Guys, the Henry we know is back!" He cheered and the others followed

Chapter 41.Eleanor's POV.I laid in bed unmoving as I stared at the fan rolling above me unable to sleep. It was just dawn and I had retired to my room unable to stay in the sitting room as Annie. I didn't want to be around her. After excusing myself I stayed in my room.It annoyed me that I really didn't have any other hobbies apart from reading and I suddenly didn't want to read right now. I increased the music playing in my ears and I turned, clinging the panda closer to my body.My mind wandered to the night at the park when Ryder had placed the jacket on my body and the way he looked at me and then back at Henry.There was obviously bad blood between them and it was only a matter before I got caught in it and as much as I needed Henry to accomplish what it was I wanted, I still didn't want to be in the center of their fight.Another part of me wondered what could have transpired between them, it wasn't like they attended the same

Eleanor's POV."What about your parents?" I asked Henry as I came to sit on the bed beside him. He stiffened for a moment before he closed his eyes for a second. I watched him quietly, his hair covered half of his forehead enhancing his blue eyes in the soft glow of the room.Henry was silent for a few seconds like he was contemplating telling me about his parents and I waited patiently for him to feel comfortable around me."My father's busy. He goes on business trips and doesn't really have time to come home only during major holidays," He said as he opened those blue eyes and for a second, I felt time stop.This was one of the first times I could read his emotions. Usually, he blocked every emotion from his face leaving only his playful smirk or mischief.I didn't know whether to feel happy that he was showing his true emotions around me or if I should

Eleanor's POV.I closed the door behind me as my face turned red and I flushed in embarrassment.I didn't know why I was suddenly acting shy around Henry but I knew just a few minutes ago I was trembling on the inside.There was something about the way he relaxed on my bed and looked at me with those sparkling blue eyes. I could tell he was tired and I sighed before making my way downstairs to the kitchen.We had pizza for dinner and while my mother was the worst cook in the country, it was better off having take outs for dinner.I avoided switching on the lights so as not to disturb anyone who could be downstairs. I reached the kitchen and pulled out the leftover pizza before throwing it in the microwave to heat it up.As I relaxed against the fridge I saw someone appear beside me, my heart stopped fo
