"Well now for my answer, my life is a mess, I'm 18 and I come from a family who think it's okay to put money over feelings" Eleanor says
Dear god she really doesn't like the rich or being rich. She's so strange from everyone else, it makes me curious. I wonder though what led her to be this way? Everyone is over amused about having money but she thinks it's selfish.
"May I ask, why don't you like money?" I question
"Oh Nils it's a long story, here come on let's go into the river" she says hopping off her horse
"Uh what?" I say
There's no way she wants me to swim in there. It's full of frogs and who knows what else. Before I turn to tell her no and that she's absolutely out of her mind, she's already taking her clothing off. Her light brown skin revealing itself more and more made me feel a sort of way. She's really stunning and fit for a woman, she had muscles and abs like a man. It looked oddly beautiful.
"Don't just stare hurry" she says
"I'm sorry but I cannot, there's nasty things in there" I say
"Oh cmon don't tell me you're like the rest of these rich sensitive idiots" she says
I am one of those sensitive idiots so yes of course I'm like them. However I began to feel like I needed to prove I wasn't. If I really want to understand her I have to do things she does right? To get closer? To really get to know why she's so different.
"I guess you're right here I come" I say
I begin taking my clothing off, I have really pale skin and I have no muscles so I started feeling a little insecure. My skin reacting to how chilling it is outside by going red. My face I already felt become red and hot.
"It's actually warm in here must be all the gross things" she laughs
It actually was really warm but that just made it worse.
"Dump your head in cmon" she says and spalashes me
"Hey!" I say splashing her back
We splashed each other for the next couple of minutes, I actually felt like I was having fun. I barely knew her and she had me doing the most odd things already. My mother would murder me if she caught me here.
"So Nils since you're my only friend here, what should I know about this place?" She asks
What did she mean?
"What do you mean?" I ask
"Well you know who can I mess with who can't I mess with, who's the worst who's the best?" She says
"Oh well I'm always to myself so I really wouldn't know much, so I guess everyone is not to be messed with and everyone is the worst?" I reply
"Good answer" she laughs
"Oh my lord there you two are, I thought you had been taken away somewhere. Eleanor your family wishes to see you so we must go now" Oscar says
We both quickly run out the water and put our clothes on. My clothing sticks to my skin because I'm still soaked and same happens to Eleanor. I noticed a lot about Eleanor, her freckles which I hadn't seen the first time. Her dimple on one cheek when she laughed or smiled. A lot of birthmarks.
Once we make it back to the pavilion I quickly dismiss myself in case her family comes around because they obviously know who I am. I doubt I'll be able to keep this on for long but I can put my efforts.
"Thank you Oscar I really appreciate it" I say and kiss him on the cheek
I cannot deny that I did have a splendid time. Although I don't think I'll ever swim in that place again, I feel frogs all over me.
"Oh god what's that smell" my mom says as I come in
It's safe to assume it's me.
"I swam in the river" I exclaim and laugh
"Now why in the world would you do such a thing go change now we'll be going over to the Williams home to meet the new family" she says
My eyes grow wide and I pause as I'm going upstairs. I can't go or Eleanor will see me and everything will go to waste. How do I avoid this? What if I can't avoid it? Seriously what would be so wrong about it if I couldn't avoid it.
"Are you alright there dear?" Rita asks
I wake up from my thoughts. I could act sick right? Oh god but I told my mom I was at the river!
"Rita can you tell my mother that I wasn't at the river but that I fell in the river just now? And I fear I'm coming up with a cold and to please not mention it to the Williams because that would be embarrassing" I say
I know it doesn't make sense but it's better than nothing.
"What are you up to Taylor?" She raises her left eyebrow
"Please" I whine
"Alright then but do change you stink" she says and laughs
As I changed I began to daydream. Normal Taylor would have already forgotten about some mean girl but Eleanor Williams was something else. She had a personality and around here that's rare to find. She wasn't an Alice because Alice was plain out jealous of me. Eleanor just hated me and not because she wants as much money as I have but because she sees the wrong in what others see is right.
She's like me.
