Chapter 18: Pickup lines
Standing outside the door to the boys dorm, I heard laughter and happiness in all their voices, and for a second I wondered if I shouldn't walk in and ruin the fun like I always seemed to do. I knocked
"Come in" Sam says the laughter and happiness faded but didn't stop. I came in saying hi
"Hey badass, what took you so long?" Carder asked as everyone said 'hey Ellie'.
"Ok so get this" I came over and sat on the floor by the fire place next to carder. the boys listened in
"My Magical history class is awful. Cassidy, her boyfriend, Becky, Angelica, and Noah are in my class!" I say exasperated, putting my elbows on the coffee table.
"Oh that's awful" Sam cringed, Enzo just laughed.
"Are you ok, did they say anything to you?" Jack asked leaning on the back of the couch.
"I'm fine, but Noah said the most ridiculous thing to me, actually like three most ridiculous things" I say laughing.
"What stuff did he say" Enzo asked.
"Could you shut up she's trying to tell us!" Mateo said annoyed, he was sitting in a dark wood and purple carved chair and Hugo was leaning on the back. I rolled my eyes
"As I was going to say, class started and there was an open seat next to me so I was like, score I get to sit alone. then five minutes in Noah comes in and of course the only seat that's open is the one next to me. This bitch smiled at me and sat down. Then he has the audacity to say, HoW aRe yoU DArliNg? Like WHAT?!?!" I yelled standing up.
"What!? He can't call you that!" Mateo said loudly.
"Yah, what the hell is he thinking!" Sam asked.
"You beat his ass right?" Carder asked.
"No, I should have though, back to the story. So I ignored that question but then he said something so stupid I think I lost brain cells, he said, YoU kNOw, I WouLD TAke yoU TO a moVie but tHeY Don't lEt yOu bRinG yOuR oWn sNAcks iN" I said in this deep masculine voice that just sounded hilarious. All of us were laughing so hard, Sam was hitting the arm of the couch and Enzo next to him had to hold onto the table for support. Carder was rolling on the floor even Hugo was laughing.
"WHAT IS HE ON!!" Shouted Carder still on the floor.
"I don't know but whatever it is I want some!" Enzo said laughing.
"Who the fuck uses pick up lines?!" I laughed banging my fist on the table.
"Bloody hell! Did he hit his head?!?" Sam said as he just about fell off the couch.
"He is mentally challenged for sure!" I chuckled as the laughter stopped.
"Ok ok ha what else did he say" Jack asked.
"Ok so ha ha, So I ignored that to but then he touched my cheek and said, Oh cOMe on aLl THe gOod PiCk Up lINes ArE taKeN, bUT YOu'Re Not. Again with the pick up lines, is he in the third fucking grade?!?" I ask throwing my hands in the air, while the boys laugh.
"So I grabbed his hand and said, Say one more thing and I shove this pencil down your throat, then he backed off" I said proudly. The boys laughed and laughed, is this what it will be like all year? I hope so!
"Wait I have one" says Sam, the boys were trying pickup lines on Ellie to see which one was the best.
"Hey I'm cute and you're pretty together we'd be pretty cute" he said confidently.
"Boring" I decided.
"Oof" Jack leered to Sam
"Oh I have one" Mateo announced.
"Your lips look lonely, would they like to meet mine?" He said.
"Oooooh" said Sam impressed.
"Ooooh that was good!" I laughed.
"Guys why are we doing this? it is ridiculous" Hugo asked bored.
"Because it's fun, that's why" Jack told him.
"Wait my turn" Enzo said
"But I don't think yall are ready for this one" he tells mischievously.
"Lorenzo just say it" I yelled impatiently.
"Ok" he cleared his throat. "Ellie are you a haunted house? Because I always scream inside you" he smiled trying not to laugh. My mouth dropped open.
"OOOOOOOOH!!" Mateo stood up slapping his hands on his head.
"NAW THATS CRAZY" Carder yelled.
"AHHHHHH, NOOO!!" I yelled covering my face with my hands. Everyone was freaking out even Hugo looked surprised.
"DAMN!!!!!" Sam said flabbergasted. They again were all basically rolling on the floor laughing, this was the best I have felt in a long time, and I didn't want it to stop. Sure, I wanted answers but I could get those another time, right now I am just going to have fun.
In the morning I got ready, it was a hot day so I decided to not wear the blazer. I had totally forgotten about Abby last night, but she was watching a movie and playing games with Charlie and Kitty. I felt really bad but Abby told me that it was fine and that she had fun. I kept my hair in its natural wavy state, like yesterday the boys met me them in the girls dorm, we went down to breakfast and Mateo cut in front of two boys older than us, the boys looked at him mad but didn't do anything, even when the rest of the group joined. They were scared of him, sure he can be intimidating, but he's not evil, I tried to convince myself that. I got my food, and ate a whole plate.
My first class was Math again with Mateo.
"I apologize for yelling at you" I say as we walked to class.
"Okay" he said brushing it off.
"Wait you're not mad?" I asked confused. Is this some sort of trick.
"No!" He said surprised. "Why would I be mad?"
"I- I thought- I don't know" I stutter thinking. This is real weird.
After a free period I have Science. The room was in the basement so it was fairly dark with high tables and chairs. In the back of the classroom sitting alone was Sam, he was writing something so he didn't see me come up behind him.
"BOO!" I said grabbing his shoulder. He jumped and shouted. "BLOODY HELL ELORAH!"
I laughed and sat down.
"Sorry I just had to!" I chuckled.
"You scared the hell out of me!" He said irritated.
"I know" I said smirking. "But what are you doing here? you're in 11th year this is a 10th year class!"
Sam sighed "don't tell anyone but I got held back in this class" he whispered ashamed.
"Oh Sam it's ok! I mean this is a surprise, but now we have another class together!" I say cheerfully
"Thanks, and yah, this will be fun!"
"Silence please!" Said the professor coming in.
He had dark skin and bussed sides with dreads on top of his head pulled back into a ponytail.
"I am professor Brown, your potions teacher, this week we will be going over the basics and starting next week you will be completing your first potion. Each week we will complete a different potion" professor Brown went on, whenever he talked there was a slight hint of joy in every word.
After potions was E.L.A. With Enzo then after that was Magical objects with all the boys. Professor DeckWood had told us to behave but I really didn't like following directions. I wouldn't push my luck though, I would just make her a little mad that's it. After that was lunch and it was delicious, some cheese pizza with a salad on the side, Yum. Then everyone had free time
After free time I had Defense, I wasn't sure what exactly that meant but I would soon find out. The room was big the only lighting coming from the windows. Under the windows was a bench going along the whole wall. There was a long stage in the middle of the room, there were six white mats on the floor in front of the stage. I sat on the bench where there were a few other students. I looked around the room and I noticed a girl on the right wing side of the bench staring at me. She had dark skin and very long black hair. She had gold glasses and was wearing yellow. When she noticed me looking at her, she looked away. Then she got up and walked over to me, she stood in front of me and smiled.
"You're Elorah Quinn right? I've heard a lot about you" the girl said.
"Oh no" I said sarcastically.
"No no not bad stuff, just that you're really confident, well that's what I got out of it" she said happily sitting down next to me but still on the right wing side.
"Ok what have you heard about me?" I asked impatiently.
"Well you stood up to Cassidy and Angelica, and you talked back to a professor, and that you're good friends with the left wing boys" she said, her eyes sparkling.
"They're not my good friends, they're my best friends, and that is all true" I correct her.
"Can I just say something? You are so pretty, like so so pretty" the girl said kindly.
"Oh thank you, what's your name?" Why does everyone keep telling me I'm pretty?
"Wow, you're nicer than I thought you would be, my name is Jhanavie" she says, shaking my hand.
"Why wouldn't I be nice, I am a very nice person... if you don't piss me off" I say thinking about the time I put paint in a girl's shoes in 4th, because she made me mad.
"Ha well I share a level with Angelica, Cassidy, and Becky, so I hear a lot about you, usually bad stuff, but I don't believe in judging anyone before you meet them. I wanted to meet you to prove to myself that you are a good person" she explained smiling sweetly.
"Well thanks for not hating on me too, and I don't know what to do about Angelica. She was my best friend at our old school, but she is just a liar. I would love to beat her up or something but she is much stronger than me and she was the captain of the boxing team" I said leaning my head against the wall.
"Thanks for telling me, now I know not to make her mad" Jhanavie chuckled.
"Yah, she might whoop your ass" I said and we both laughed. Angelica and Becky walked in giving us disgust glares. Becky looked just like Jesica from my old school, bleached blonde hair, high heels, and too much makeup.
"Jhanavie, what are you doing talking to this loser?" Becky asked, putting her hands on her hips.
"Is that really the best insult you have?" I lifted my eyebrows.
"Well you look stupid and probably are stupid" she said trying to sound smart.
"Come on deformed donkey you can do better" I stood up crossing my arms, Becky was surprisingly small.
"I'm not a donkey!" She said clearly not getting the insult.
"You're right, you are your mother's mistake" I said as Becky stumbled for words, the kids around started to say stuff like 'burn' or 'damn'.
"Ellie stop it, that's just mean!" Angelica said stepping in front of Becky. I tried to hold back my laugh at that.
"So I'm the bad one now, because you totally didn't dump me and pretend you didn't know me Angelica" I said sarcastically.
"Enough!" Yells the professor strutting into the room. He had blonde slicked back hair and a black suit, his face consisted of black eyes and a scowl. Hugo entered the room right after him, everyone in the room ran to the bench as fast as they could. Angelica gave me a threatening glare and stalked to the other side of the room.
"Now I am professor Crow, your defense teacher. My class will teach you how to fight against evil, whether it's your enemy, best friend, or husk" he says darkly.
"This class will give a chance to survive, Mr. Levine is my personal helper go to him if there are any problems, now to start class I will pick two students to do a little... demonstration" Crow jumps up onto the stage.
"Crowd around everyone" he says and everyone gets up walking to the stage. Hugo goes and stands next to me and Jhanavie.
"Now who wants to fight? How about you Ms Stevenson? Yes come up here please" Crow said as Angelica pulled herself up.
"I feel bad for whoever has to fight her" I whispered to Hugo.
"Why?" He asked.
"She was caption of the boxing team, and she's really strong" I explained.
"Ms Quinn, just because you killed a Husk doesn't mean you're any better than the rest of us, actually if you want to talk you can come up here and fight" Crow said smirking.
"Professor that would be highly unfair, Angelica has had fighting training and Elorah has not" Hugo said in my defense.
"Fights are not fair, get up here now" Crow demanded. I made my way through the crowd, my heart beating in my ears. I pulled myself up and faced Angelica who was smirking.
"The rules are, for the first fight you may only hit someone when they're standing, you have to fight for a whole minute, whoever is on the ground when the time runs out loses and of course don't kill each other. 3,2,1, fight!"
