Chapter 5:

Felix's P.O.V

It's been the whole weekend since I last talked to Jake. I've seen him all day at school, so he isn't exactly avoiding me, he has— we have just been keeping our distance from each other. I sighed as I dumped my bag on the table in front of me, plonking down in the chair, staring up the front. I was early, so when Mr Bates saw me in class already, he had a little freakout.

I sighed closing my eyes as the bell rang through school, shocking me slightly. I sighed opening my eyes to see a girl sitting next to me. My eyes widened when I realised who it was. The long brown hair, the short height— what the hell?

"Ellen?" The girl turned to me with a small smile on her face,

"Hi, Felix." My eyes widened. I think it was the clothes and make up that did it. I never knew my best friend could look so— normal. She wore the school dress, and jumper like it was a normal part of her routine, but from what I remembered, she hated the school dress and never wanted to wear it.

"What happened to you?" Ellen shrugged as if the question I was posing was completely unimportant and didn't matter if it was disregarded.

"I realised I was pretending to be someone I'm not, for someone who doesn't even like me, so I went back to my normal self. And as if you care, you've been a jerk to me the last few days." I scoffed at her, still confused about the entirety of the situation.

"Ellen, you've been avoiding me or ignoring me. I haven't even had a chance to talk to you. That and I was giving you space because you seemed pretty pissed last Monday." Ellen stopped and thought for a moment,

"But what about before that? When we were walking to school? You were a jerk to me then," I rolled my eyes,

"We both said we had this weird feeling that the day was going to be different, and we were right, I was just acting weird because of the feeling." Ellen just continued to stare at me,

"So it was all me?" I nodded lightly. Ellen gasped,

"Oh god Felix I am so sorry— oh god— and I said I liked you— oh my— I urr— I'm really sorry." I shrugged at her, not really bothered by the notion of her liking me anymore, I was worried about if Jake still liked me,

It was so hard to reject him and not tell him about myself when he asked, but the look on his face when I told him to leave, tore the tiny fracture of my heart that I had managed to rip back together, almost ready to give it to him.

"Trust me, last Monday was really weird, so don't worry about it— but what is with the clothes?" Ellen sighed, almost slipping back into the Ellen I used to know, but she didn't.

"I just wanted to fit in again. Felix, I am really sorry, I hope you know that." I smiled weakly at her. I knew where she was coming from with that one. I guess she was sick of all the bullying and ridicule.

"Yeah, I know. But it doesn't change anything. Now you can go and be whoever you want to be, and I guess we can go what we call 'Our separate ways' yeah?" Ellen nodded,

"But we can still talk yeah?" I nodded,

"Sure— but right now, we need to be paying attention in class." Ellen nodded before pulling out a book and getting to work. I followed suit. Eventually class was over, and Ellen left me and went straight over to one of the popular girls, Mia. I scoffed, a look of disgust crossing my face,

"Weird—" I muttered, but someone else muttered it from behind me as well. I turned around to see Jake standing there. I closed my eyes, turning around again, pretending I didn't see him,
