When We Crashed

Pick Up Lines

Ella's pov:

"Well..." My mom saying thinking as she looks at me.

Just by watching her sudden actions, I feel my palms start to get a little sweaty.

Is it hot in here?

Why am I so nervous?

I was never bothered by what she thought about me before.

I never cared about her opinion on how I dress, or my hobbies, or even my lack of effort overall actually.

But now that I'm actually going to hear what she thinks, it kinda starts to make me feel anxious on what she is really thinking.

"Ella... she likes adventure. Much to my dismay, she likes to be put in the face of danger and have a challenge, which honestly makes her stronger than other people I have encountered with."

I stare at my mom in complete shock, we make eye contact but she looks away and back at Mrs. Barrington and smiles.

Did I hear that correctly?

No seriously, am I going insane?

Let me get this straight, MY mom, who has pretty much tried to control my life, thinks that I'm strong?

Does this mean I'm not a complete disappointment like I thought I was?

I really hope this is not a joke, because it definitely isn't funny.

"It is crazy how much has changed since the last time I saw them. They grew up with such different personalities." Mrs. Barrington says and my mom lightly shakes her head.

I hear someone clear their throat and I look up to see one of Luke's brothers looking at me.

"Hey, my name is Mason." He smirks and holds out his hand.

He looked at least two years older than me, but my guessing skills are pretty bad to be honest.

"Ella.." I say lowly, while hesitantly shaking his hand remembering what Ally said about Luke's older brothers.

And Ally normally doesn't get annoyed with people very often so who knows what kind of hell he could bring.

"Oh what a pretty name for a pretty girl." He winks at me.

Ally....

Was so right.

Usually I don't get upset over pick up lines... but it is just the way he said it.

He sounded like a total play boy which by itself is just plan out annoying.

"Uhm thanks?"

Hey.

Cut me some slack.

I have been stuck in my house for years do you really think I know a thing or two about how to flirt or accept a compliment?

"I may not be a genie, but I can make your dreams come true."

"I'm actually good...."

"You remind me of a magnet, because you sure are attracting me over here."

"I'm not even doing anything..."
