Hopeless (#Wattys2016) ON HOLD

Chapter Three: Elijah

"Are you okay?"
"U-uh, yea...who are you?!" I asked and stood up quickly, slowly walking backwards.
He had big brown eyes and dirty blonde hair.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, hehe, I'm Elijah"he said.

Thank god.

"I saw you fall to the ground and I thought you got hurt or something" he said.

"It's okay, I just thought you were someone else..." I said hesitantly.
"And who might that be?" He asked
"Uh, Never mind about that"
"You're not from around here, aren't you?" I added.
"Haha, nope I actually just moved here on Sunday."
"Im actually starting school tomorrow" he added.
"Oh, I'm guessing you're in college?" I said.
"Nope, I'm actually a Junior in high school, haha" he said smiling.
"Oh, sorry haha, you just look so mature? " I said and smiled.
He giggled and smiled, "I get that a lot" he said.
"Well, I'm Amy and I'm also a Junior" I added and lifted my hand.
"Well, Nice to meet you Amy" he said while shaking my hand.

Wow. His hands were soft and a bit warm. He has a really good grip.

"Nice to meet you too" I said and smiled.
"Well uh, I got to go, I don't wanna be late for class." I added

"Okay see you around" he said and walked toward his car.

I looked at my watch and it was 8:20a.m.

Shit I'm late for class.

I walk to school and get there around 8:30. I walk into the office to get a late slip. I slightly picked up my skirt and ran toward my math class and everyone's eyes were on me. I noticed a familiar face.

Elijah.

He looked up at me and smiled.
I smiled back. He was actually sitting a few desks away from me.

Trisha was all up in his face.

I hate it when you walk into the class late and they all just stare at you.

I gave my teacher the late slip and she handed me my test.

A+, yes! I looked up and smiled at her.

I walked over to my desk and sat down. I can feel Elijah still staring at me.

I can also feel Trisha's eyes on me.

"So, what'd you get on your test?" She whispered angrily.

What's her problem?

"Why do you care.." I whispered back.
"Well I got a F on my test and I'm sure you failed too, am I right." She said.

"Uh, y-yea"

"Let me see your paper" she demanded.
"No" I said.
"Excuse me" she said angrily, then tugged my scarf from behind, clenching it in her hand.

"F-fine" I said.

My palms got sweaty.

"Thank you." She said and I could feel a smile creep on her face.

I handed her the paper.
"What the hell!" she exclaimed.

"Is everything okay, Trisha?" says Mrs. Sweller.
"Yes, sorry."
"Keep quiet please." She says.

"Oh you're so dead Amy"

I just hope Elijah didn't see that.
