Episode 6 : A Confusing Tension
💌Elsa POV
I smiled remembering Bryan.
How nice he was to me, how he defended me from Mason.
“My baby is smiling”. My Mum mocked.
“Mum!!”.
“I thought you said you had a worst day but why are you smiling right now?”.
Kyle’s words immediately flashed through my mind and Gabriella’s words rang in my ears.
Gosh!! I’m so scared, i really don’t want to make enemies with Sapphire, Kimberly and their crew.
“Mum, i wanna go back with you to Las Vegas”.
She stood up. “Nope, you wanted to come back here and now you are back”.
“But Mum, attending SpringCity Senior High seems challenging already”. I pleaded.
“Elsa__”.
I cut her off. “Mum please”.
Then Tristan walked back into living holding a bowl of cereals.
“Whats going on?”. He asked eating.
“Your sister says she wanna move back to Las Vegas”.
“No way Mum”. Tristan disagreed. “I love my new school and there was this girl at school who I think is pretty hot”.
I rolled my eyes. “Every girl is pretty hot to you”.
“That still doesn’t mean I’ll move back to Las Vegas”.
“You’ve always wanted to come back to Las Vegas, what happened?”. My Mum asked.
“Her crush rejected her”. Tristan answered.
“Tristan!!”. I shouted angrily.
He shrugged. “What? Its the truth. Kyle Vegas rejected your love”.
“He doesn’t even know I’m in love with him and he clearly do not know I exist”. I said sadly.
“Baby, that doesn’t mean your high school life can’t be cool”.
My Mum assured me.
“Mum’s right. Forget Kyle and focus on that dude who was waiting for you earlier”.
“His name is Bryan”.
“Problem solved. You are staying in SpringCity”. My Mum said.
We heard a horn outside.
“Thats the cab driver”. My mum said.
“But Mum”. I argued.
“You are only staying for a year. Thats all”.
I sighed. “Fine. We’ll stay over at the smith’s residence”.
Mum smiled. “Thats my Elsa”.
“Mum, wait. What about our belongings?”.
“I already parked your things there earlier this morning so you just need to drive your brother there”.
My Mum explained. “And remember, behave”.
We followed Mum out the door and watched as she got into the cab with her belongings.
We bade her goodbye and the cab drove off.
I turned to Tristan. “Get into the car and lets go to Beverly’s house”.
He got into the car, i went back to the house and made sure everything was locked before I took my backpack and went back to the car getting in.
“Why is your face like that?”.
I looked sideways to see Tristan still shoving his mouth with cereals.
“You just had to carry the cereals”. I said sarcastically.
“Stop trying to avoid the question”.
I rested back on the carseat. “I only came back to SpringCity for Kyle and it seems like thats never gonna happen”.
He furrowed his eyebrows. “Why?”.
“For starters, he already has a girlfriend.
Sapphire Yates”. I explained. “And he kinda hates me now”.
“He never liked you before”. He added.
“Are you even helping?”.
“I’m trying to drill some sense into you”.
I scoffed. “I’m older than you, you know that right?”.
He rolled his eyes. “With just two years”.
“Well two years ain’t a joke, dumbs”.
I put the key in the ignition starting the car, revved up the engine and drove off.
We eventually arrived at the smith’s residence not less than 20 minutes. I parked by a curb and Tristan got down immediately.
I turned off the engine and stepped out locking the car.
“I don’t remember their house looking all fancy”. Tristan said.
I rolled my eyes. “Thats because its renovated. Come on, lets go”.
Tristan stopped. “What if they don’t like me? You know, i’m pretty annoying”.
I laughed. “Finally you admit it but don’t worry, they will like you”.
He frowned. “What makes you think that?”.
“Beverly is an only child and also the only girl and I think they like the idea of having a boy around”. I explained.
He heaved a sigh of relief. “Okay fine lets go in”.
I ruffled his hair. “My younger brother is scared, how sweet”.
He removed my hand. “Stop it, Elsie”.
We walked to the door.
“Ring the doorbell”. I told him.
“You ring it”.
I rolled my eyes and rang the doorbell.
The door opened immediately revealing Beverly’s Mum. Mary.
“Elsa, you are here. Come in”. She said.
Tristan and I went in still holding our backpacks.
“Your Mum told me that you’ll be here”. She said as we entered. “Make yourself at home”.
Minutes later we were shown our rooms.
I glanced around and my new fresh room, it seemed like my own sanctuary.
I was expecting to stay in the same room with Beverly but I guess no.
The door opened.
“Hi Mary”.
She had instructed us to call her by her first name not Mrs. Smith.
“Elsa, here is the last of your stuff your Mum dropped over”.
She placed a duffel bag on the bed.
“Thank you”. I said politely.
“I’ll just go ahead”. She said but didn’t move.
I glanced at her. “Do you need anything?”.
She sat on the bed. “Elsa. Can we talk?”.
I smiled. “Sure of course. I can listen”.
“How was school?”. She asked looking at me.
“School was so not good for me”. I replied sincerely.
She chuckled. “Really? Didn’t you have the whole bumping into a guy thing?”.
I stared at her weirdly. “What is that?”.
“Like you know in movies, the boy bumps into the new girl, he picks her books and boom they fall in love”. She said dramatically.
I remembered Bryan immediately. He had helped me pick my books that Sapphire threw on the floor and he also defended me from Mason.
Gosh!! Why is Bryan on my mind? Stop it Elsa.
“I guess that happened to me”. I said shyly.
She laughed. “Was he cute?”.
“Maybe yeah he was”. I answered blushing.
“Beverly never tells me things like this. At least not anymore”. She said suddenly.
I was surprised because while growing up, Beverly and I were really close to our Mums who were also best friends.
Beverly always told her Mum everything but maybe she changed like for real.
“Did something happened between both of you?”.
“No she just stopped talking to me. Its like she became distant all of a sudden”.
“Wow”. I said simply.
She sighed. “Did you notice anything about Beverly?”.
I was taken aback. “Well I didn’t”.
“Its just that Beverly seems different now”.
“Maybe its because she’s all grown up”. I suggested.
“I’m a mother and I know Beverly”. Her Mum said.
I paused. “Why do you think she’s different?”.
“She’s more withdrawn and rarely says anything concerning school”.
“Withdrawn?”. I asked confused.
Beverly is never like that, she’s a talkative.
Probably something happened perhaps.
“Mum”. I heard Beverly’s voice.
“I should go”. Mary stood up and left.
I sat on the bed pondering on what Beverly’s Mum said.
Beverly did act weird in school with the way she was around Kimberly and Co.
Probably because she wants to be a cheerleader but there could be more.
I mean after all Beverly wanted to come home with me but Kyle asked her to stay and she did but why?
Something is wrong somewhere but I can’t place my finger on it.
I’ll ask Gabriella in school tomorrow, she’s the one who seems to know what Kyle and Sapphire are capable of doing.
I heard a knock on the door. Could it be Mary or maybe Beverly.
“Come in”. I said.
The door opened and Tristan came in holding his skateboard.
I sighed. “What now?”.
“Is your friend okay?”. He asked leaning on the door.
I crossed my arms. “What are you talking about?”.
“For starters, she said I looked cute and I took it as a compliment__”.
I cut him off. “Just get to the point”.
“She asked me if I consider her beautiful and hot”.
Episode 7 : After School
💌Elsa POV💌
“For starters, she said I looked cute and I took it as a compliment__”.
I cut him off. “Just get to the point”.
“She asked me if I consider her beautiful and hot”. Tristan said.
I raised an eyebrow. “Beautiful and hot?”.
He nodded in response. “Isn’t that weird?”.
“Just ignore it”. I replied facing my clothes on the bed.
“So have you changed your mind?”.
I turned. “About what?”.
“You know, SpringCity?”.
I crossed my arms. “Why do you care?”.
“You are my sister and I love you, you are so nice and all that”.
I rolled my eyes. “Thats bullshit. The real reason”.
“I want to know if you are in a good mood so you can come with me to the City Park”. He explained. “There’s the really cool girl I wanna see”.
I sighed. “Fine I’ll come. I just need to dress up”.
“Okay. I’m outside”. Tristan said walking out.
I shoved the remaining of my clothes into the duffel bag and threw it on the bean bag.
I wore a light white T-shirt and black jeans with white sports shoe.
I went out the door. “I’m done. Lets go”.
We ran downstairs and I went to go meet Mary in the Kitchen.
“Elsa, darling. Do you need anything?”.
“I’m off to the park with Tristan. Just wanted to let you know”. I told her.
She faced me. “Okay but please try to take Beverly along”.
I smiled. “Sure thing”.
I went back to the living room to meet Tristan standing impatiently holding his skateboard.
“About time. Lets go”.
“Wait, I need to go check up on Beverly”.
He groaned. “Just do it fast”.
I ran up the stairs and went over to Beverly’s room. I pushed open her door stepping in and met her staring at her reflection in the mirror.
“I’m too beautiful for him anyways”. She mumbled.
“Hey”. I said.
She turned immediately. “What are you doing here?”.
“I live in your house, remember”.
She rolled her eyes. “Not that, why didn’t you knock before you come in”.
“I never knock, Beverly, you know that”.
She sat on her bed. “What do you want?”.
“Tristan and I are going to the park. Do you wanna tag along?”.
She scoffed. “Seriously? Elsa, I’m not a ten year old”.
I furrowed my eyebrows. “Ten year old? Beverly, we are not going there to play. I just wanna__”.
“Elsa, I have better things to do”. She said interrupting me.
“What things?”. I asked.
“I’m a cheerleader, Elsa, I need to keep myself fit and all that. You wouldn’t know since you are not a cheerleader”. She replied.
“Beverly, you are acting kinda not like you. Whats going on?”. I asked concerned.
“Nothing okay. Its just stress”. She answered.
“Stress? Come on, Beverly. You can tell me”. I persuaded her.
“Its nothing. I’m just trying to get close to Sapphire and Kimberly because I have a crush on Carl, the Captain of swimming team”.
I raised an eyebrow. “Thats all?”.
“Thats all. I don’t need to tell you everything okay”.
The door opened immediately and Tristan came in.
“Do you people not knock?”. Beverly asked exasperatedly.
Tristan ignored her. “Elsie, you coming or not?”.
“Hey Tris”. Beverly called twirling her hair.
I held Tristan’s hand and led him out of her room as we went downstairs.
“I told you she was weird”. Tristan said as we walked out of the house.
“Stop saying that”. I warned him.
He rolled his eyes and got on his skateboard.
“What are you doing? I’m driving”. I said.
“Elsie, we are going to the park, no need for a car”. He said.
I sighed and walked along with him as he propelled his skateboard.
“So who’s this hot girl you wanna see?”. I asked curiously.
Tristan smiled. “She’s really beautiful and quiet but she is not a nerd. Just an introvert”.
“And you know all this when you saw her for the first time today?”. I asked amused.
He laughed. “Lets just say it was an observation or maybe I stared at her throughout class”.
“How do you know she’s gonna show up at the park?”. I asked as we walked down the curb.
“I kinda peered into her bag while she wasn’t looking. She had a drawing of a roller skate so I definitely know she will be skating at the skatepark”. He explained.
We arrived at the park minutes later and Tristan kept looking around.
“Have you seen her?”. I asked him.
He didn’t respond, he scanned the whole park searching around.
While searching around, i noticed Bryan at a park bench and he was seated next to Carl. Wait Carl?
The same Carl who was nice to me in Biology class. Why was he here with Bryan? Both of them were talking and It really seemed serious as Bryan was frowning.
“She’s there”. Tristan popped into my thoughts bringing back me to reality.
I trailed the direction of his eyes and noticed he was staring at a girl sitting on one of the park benches.
I guess She was drawing because there were pack of brushes next to her and also pencils. She had brown hair which was swept over her shoulder, she looked up and I noticed she had eyes that reminded me of Bryan.
I turned to see Tristan staring at her.
I nudged him. “Go talk to her”.
“I cant. I’m so nervous”.
“Come on, Tristan”. I urged him. “You can do it”.
He took a deep breath then began walking towards her then immediately he came back.
“I cant do it, Elsie”.
I sighed and held his hand walking towards the girl.
I tapped her. “Hey”.
She looked up. “Hi”.
I nudged Tristan to say something but he didn’t, he continued staring at her intensely.
“I know you, you are that boy who went through my things”. She frowned at Tristan.
I gawped at Tristan. He went through her things? Gosh!! I have a crazy brother.
“He came to apologize for what he did”. I said.
“Yeah I actually came to say sorry for what I did”. Tristan said still staring at her.
“You know its not cool going through people stuffs”.
I liked her voice, it was really smooth, Tristan was right, she was really gorgeous. She may be around Tristan’s age, i think, 16 year old or maybe 15.
“I’m really sorry about that”. Tristan replied nervously.
“Apology accepted”. The girl said and continued sketching on her book.
“I’m Tristan by the way”.
“Victoria”. She answered still sketching.
“You love skating?”. Tristan asked.
She nodded. “Yeah, do you?”.
Then they began talking. And thats how to be a matchmaker. I smiled at what I did.
I walked away giving them some privacy.
I looked back at where I saw Bryan and Carl was earlier and noticed only Bryan was there.
I took a deep breath and walked towards him. It wont hurt to say hello at least.
I walked towards him. “Fancy meeting you here”.
He looked up. “Elsa, nice to see you”.
I smiled. “Can i sit?”.
He nodded. “Sure”.
I sat beside him. “So what are you doing here?”.
“I was here for a while watching how you were so good being a matchmaker but I don’t think i’d let my little sister have a boyfriend yet”. He said.
I gasped. “She’s your sister? The girl my brother is talking to right now?”.
He nodded. “Yep. Victoria Stark. My little sister”.
Episode 8 : Unexpected Connections
🍭Elsa POV
I sat beside him. “So what are you doing here?”.
“I was here for a while watching how you were so good being a matchmaker but I don’t think i’d let my little sister have a boyfriend yet”. Bryan said.
I gasped. “She’s your sister? The girl my brother is talking to right now?”.
He nodded. “Yep. Victoria Stark. My little sister”.
Okay now this is awkward, she’s his little sister, no wonder her eyes seemed familiar to me.
I didn’t know what to say as I rested on the park bench.
“Tristan wanna be friends with her. Thats all”. I defended my little brother.
He smirked. “In that case, i’ll be hard on him just a little”.
I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out.
“Elsa, I was kidding. Tristan seems nice as a friend”.
As a friend? Tristan really likes her. I mean after all he came here looking for her and then boom, reality pops in, she’s Bryan’s little sister.
“But I guess he can be more than friends if my sister wants”. Bryan continued.
I stared at him as he talked, i love the way his brown eyes lights up as he talked.
I feel like there’s something drawing me towards him, like I wanna breathe the same air he’s breathing. Shoot!! Am i falling for Bryan?
“Right Elsa?”. He asked popping into my thoughts.
Damn it. I wasn’t listening to what he was talking about so I just nodded in response.
“So what about you? What are you doing here?”. He asked me.
“Umm, yeah, I actually uh … “. I trailed off.
He chuckled. “So you came all the way to the park just so you can find my sister?”.
I nodded shyly. “Yeah that”.
“Its really sweet what you did for your brother”. He said resting his back.
I nudged him. “Are you not doing anything?”.
“I just came here to watch my sister”.
“Babysitting?”. I asked amused.
He chuckled. “Yeah that”.
Then his sister came along, i sighted Tristan staring at one of her drawings running his finger on the paper carefully.
This boy really likes her.
“Hi. Its you again”. She smiled waving at me.
I smiled in return. “I’m Elsa”.
She raised her eyebrows. “Elsa Reyes?”.
“Yeah. How did you know that?”. I asked confused.
“Well my brother__”.
Bryan immediately clamped her mouth shut with his hand.
I bursted into laughter. “Come on, Bryan, let her speak”.
Bryan removed his hand slowly. “What do you want? Tori”.
“Tristan and I wanna go skate. Is it okay with you?”.
Bryan looked at me and I shrugged.
“Fine but no funny business”. Bryan replied strictly.
“Sure thing. Thanks”. She said sweetly and ran over to Tristan.
I guess she told him and I noticed his face lighted up in smiles.
She packed her painting materials into her knapsack and they walked off.
“So they are gone”. I muttered.
“I’m really sorry about what happened in school”. Bryan said suddenly.
“Huh?”.
“The video. Biology class”.
I understood. “Its okay. I should have expected that at least Gabriella warned me”.
He stared at me weirdly. “Gabriella?”.
I nodded. “Yeah Gabriella, we met during lunch when Beverly ditched me for the cheerleaders”.
“What was her last name?”. He asked.
I shrugged. “I never asked. Do you know her?”.
“Maybe. Just introduce me to her when you see her tomorrow”.
I agreed. “Okay then”.
“Say something. I don’t wanna get bored”.
“I don’t know what to talk about”.
“You know this is a really good scenery to paint”. He said referring to the park.
I suddenly remembered something. “You can paint?”.
“Yeah I can draw, sketch, paint”.
“Can you teach me?”. I asked.
“You wanna learn how to paint?”.
“Well the Arts teacher gave us a project but I really don’t know how to paint”. I admitted.
“I can teach you but that means we have to spend more time together in school”.
I smiled inwardly when I thought of that. Bryan and I may make a great couple.
We will walk hand in hand for shopping and go buy baby foods and …
“Elsa??”.
I jerked back into reality. “Huh? Yeah like a date”.
Scoot!! Elsa why would you say that? You just met the guy today morning and you are already thinking of a date? Absurd.
“A date?”. He grinned. “I never said anything about a date but its fine if you want it that way”.
I blushed slightly. “I didn’t mean that__”.
He cut me off. “Just think of it as maybe a friendly date”.
I nodded in response. “Okay then. A friendly date it is”.
“Wow wow wow. If it isn’t Stark”.
I always know that voice wherever it was and the scent of his cologne.
Kyle Vegas. Whenever I hear his voice, there’s always a tingling feeling in me.
I quickly stood up and looked back. It was really him and he was with that knucklehead who tried to kiss me. Mason.
“What do you want? Vegas”. Bryan said cooly.
Kyle looked at me for a while then at Bryan before he frowned.
“I didn’t know you took girls out on dates”.
Bryan clenched his fists. “Don’t get on my nerves”.
“Come on, Bryan, I’m not here to do that. I just came on a friendly visit”.
Bryan scoffed. “We are not friends, Kyle, i thought I made myself clear about that”.
“You just have to accept it that she left you for me. Isn’t that right, Mason?”.
Mason smirked. “Yeah absolutely right and I might have this one standing right next to him”.
Is he talking about me?”.
“No one is touching Elsa”. Bryan said coldly.
“But its her choice if she wants you. Right Elsa?”. Kyle winked at me.
I loved the way my name sounded in his lips and how he looked when he winked at me.
“Leave right now”. Bryan said.
Kyle raised his hands in surrender. “Okay but I just came to clear things out. Don’t even try what you did the other time”.
“Hey babe”. Mason looked at me licking his lips.
Kyle tapped Mason then they both left walking away.
But I noticed Mason said something to Kyle which made him look back at me before they left.
Bryan sighed sitting back on the park bench. “I’m so sorry you had to watch that, Elsa”.
I sat on the bench close to him. “Is something wrong?”.
He shook his head negatively. “Nothing”.
“Bryan__”.
“Elsa, I need to go”. He stood up interrupting me.
I nodded sadly. “Okay”. I stood up too.
We walked round the park quietly looking for Tristan and Victoria.
I glanced at Bryan and noticed he had become moody since when Kyle talked to him.
My eyes scanned the whole area looking for Tristan and found him with Victoria.
They were laughing at something on a phone, i guess, Victoria’s phone.
“Tori. We need to get home”. Bryan said.
Victoria looked up. “Sure, Thanks for today. Tris, i had a great time”. She said softly.
She wore her knapsack and waved us goodbye before leaving.
“Bye Elsa”. Bryan said before leaving.
“Elsie, today was awesome”. Tristan said excitedly as soon as they left.
“So how was it? Did you guys get to talk?”. I asked curious.
He waved his phone. “She gave me her number”.
“Smooth. So you are friends now?”.
He nodded. “Yep and we have the same school timetable thats why I was able to stare at her during class”.
I chuckled. “You really like this girl. Huh?”.
“I’m thinking of asking her out on a date but not now”.
Victoria ran over. “I actually forgot something”.
Tristan furrowed his eyebrows. “What did you__”.
Victoria kissed him on the lips softly shutting him up.
She pulled away and smiled sweetly before running off.
I looked at her as she went over to meet Bryan.
I waved at him and he winked before leaving with his sister.
I turned to see Tristan touching his lips still in a daze.
I sling my arm around him playfully as we walked home.
Actually I walked home and he propelled on his skateboard.
“That was awesome”. Tristan said as we soon as we entered Beverly’s house.
“You both are back. Go wash up for dinner in an hour”. Mary said as she saw us.
We went upstairs, i was about entering my room when Tristan stopped me.
“Elsie, umm, thanks for following me”.
I ruffled his hair. “I will do anything for you”.
“What about you and that hot dude?”. He teased me.
I blushed. “His name is Bryan”.
“Bryan and Elsa sitting on a tree”. He sang as he walked to his room.
I stepped into my room and rested on the door all smiles. Today was awesome.
I heard my phone ‘beep’.
I quickly grabbed it from my dresser and checked it.
It was a message from my Mum saying she arrived Las Vegas safely.
I smiled and sent a message of how much Tristan and I love her.
I sent the message and noticed my phone wallpaper was of Kyle. I sighed staring at his photo.
Maybe I should try to get him to notice me then if he doesn’t, i’ll get rid of this feelings.
I suddenly remembered what Kyle and Bryan were talking about.
What did Kyle mean by ‘you just have to accept it that she left you for me’.
Did Bryan have a girlfriend before? If he actually did then what exactly did Kyle meant by ‘she left you for me’.
Episode 9 : Elsa’s Growing Feelings
Elsa POV🥰
I suddenly remembered what Kyle and Bryan were talking about.
What did Kyle mean by ‘you just have to accept it that she left you for me’.
Did Bryan have a girlfriend before? If he actually did then what exactly did Kyle meant by ‘she left you for me’.
Gosh!! I rubbed my templates carefully, all this is just hard to process right now.
I sighed resting on my bed properly, i need to get some rest after a bad day at school.
I groaned to someone shaking me. I sat up and saw Tristan staring at his phone smiling.
“What is it?”. I asked tiredly.
“Its Dinner time”. He replied.
I stood up yawning. “Did I sleep that much?”.
He nodded still staring at his phone.
I quickly grabbed his phone from him.
“Hey!! Give that back”. He yelled.
“Race you downstairs”. I said running out of my room and down the wooden stairs.
I ran to the dining room beside the kitchen and met Beverly and her parents there.
“Elsa, nice of you to join us, come sit”. Her Dad called.
“About time”. Beverly mumbled.
I smiled ignoring what Beverly said and sat opposite her.
Tristan came in later sitting down besides Beverly grudgingly.
I passed him his phone under the table and he took it swiftly.
“I really missed you, Elsa, the way you and Beverly always played around in the past”. Her Dad said.
I giggled. “Mr. Smith, that was like 5 years ago”.
“I also remembered you being very stubborn, you would always annoy me and Mary back then”. He continued.
Tristan laughed. “She’s still annoying”.
I rolled my eyes. “Haha, very funny, like you are any better”.
“So how was first day like, Elsa?”. Mr. Smith asked.
“It was okay. At least I made friends”. I said remembering Gabriella and Bryan.
Beverly scoffed. “How cute”.
“Beverly!!”. Mary warned.
Beverly shrugged. “I didn’t say anything”.
“What about you Tristan, how was first day like?”. Mr. Smith asked.
Tristan smirked. “It was so cool, i already got on the popular list and I now have a girlfriend”.
“Victoria isn’t your girlfriend”. I said.
“Who’s Victoria?”. Beverly asked.
“She kissed me. You saw that”.
I rolled my eyes ignoring him.
“Beverly, sweetie, what about you?”. Mary asked nicely.
“I’m trying to eat please no questions”. Beverly replied.
How rude of her!! Her Mum was just being concerned and she acted that way.
We spent rest of the dinner silently and after I went to go wash up the plates.
Beverly walked in. “My Mum said I should come help you”.
“No thanks, I’m done already”. I said drying my hands with the napkin.
“You always complained when doing chores, its a wonder you are doing it now without any complaints”.
I smiled faintly. “People do change. You know that”.
“So did you have a boyfriend back at Las Vegas?”. She asked suddenly.
I furrowed my eyebrows. “No why?”.
“You couldn’t even have a boyfriend back there and you think you have a chance at Kyle here in SpringCity High”. She mocked.
I paused. “Are you making fun of me?”.
“I never did that. I’m just trying to tell you in a nice way as a best friend that Kyle can never notice someone like you”.
I scoffed. “Best friend? Me and you? I cant be best friends with a stranger”.
She sighed. “I’m not the bad guy here, Elsa, i’m just trying to keep you out of harms way”.
“By saying I have no chance with Kyle?”.
“Kyle is different now .. He’s a playboy and as your friend, although I’m not allowed to say this, i’m telling you to stay away from him or something might happen”.
I was taken aback. “I should stay away from Kyle?”.
“He has a girlfriend and she’s dangerous”. She shouted.
“Sapphire is just his fuck buddy same with Kimberly, I guess”.
She rolled her eyes. “Kimberly is with Justin not Kyle”.
“Then how about you stay away from Kimberly and Sapphire?”.
“I’m only with them so as to survive my last year of Senior High, i don’t wanna cross their paths like others.
Being their friend is the only thing I can do for them not to, you know, do something bad to me”. She explained.
I flared up. “Being their friend? Or being their puppet? You do literally everything they say”.
“Thats because I don’t wanna get on their bad side”. She retorted. “Also because of Carl”.
“I don’t believe you”. I told her off.
“I’m serious about all this, Elsa”. She took a deep breath.
“I’m sorry for the way I acted in school, i just had to do it so they will think am on their side”.
I raised an eyebrow. “You don’t like them?”.
She shook her head negatively. “I don’t want to be targeted by them thats why i became friends with Kimberly, I’m j hiust trying be a good friend, if you don’t believe me, then good”. She turned and left.
I sighed and went back to my room, i closed the door and flopped on the bed tiredly.
I thought of what Beverly said, it kinda matches with what Gabriella said.
About them being horrible but if they are horrible? Why is Beverly still with them?
This is so complicated, i only came back to SpringCity because of Kyle and it seems everyone is afraid of that same Kyle.
Tomorrow is another day of school, i hope it gets better.
i closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
^^Morning^^
“Rise and shine!”.
My alarm clock rang as I woke up the sun rays indicating a bright morning. I sat up and removed the covers standing up.
I went to the bathroom tiredly to take a shower.
Once I was done, i went back to my room and dried my body applying some body cream.
I went through my clothes before deciding on a long sleeved white shirt with black stripes, dark jeans and my black and white high cut vans along with my backpack.
I brushed my hair letting the dark curly tresses flow over my shoulder. I dropped the hair brush and sent downstairs.
I met Tristan at the table eating stuffing his face with food as usual.
I ruffled his hair. “Hey little brother. You look cute this morning”.
He removed my hand from his hair. Can you stop doing that?”.
“Can you ever stop eating?”. I asked sarcastically as I took a seat besides him.
“I can stop doesn’t mean I will”. He replied.
I rolled my eyes and took a spoon delving into his cereal taking a bite. I took two more spoons before getting up.
I looked around. “Where’s Beverly?”.
“She went to school earlier, cheerleading practice she said”. Tristan replied.
“What about Mary?”. I asked after Beverly’s Mum.
“She’s still in bed. I presume”.
I tapped him. “Okay then lets go”.
He finished his breakfast and walked with me outside the house to the curb where I parked my car.
I unlocked the car and we both got in. I drove us to school in 30 minutes or more.
I parked my car in the school parking lot and we got out.
I noticed some girls giving side glances at Tristan and he winked in return.
“You know them?”. I asked surprised.
“They are all freshman but my girly fans”. He said casually.
“So you became Popular on your first day?”. I asked surprised.
He nodded in response. “Cuteness rules”.
I rolled my eyes. “At least your first day was better than mine”.
“Well I hope you have a good second day”. He smiled. “Bye Elsie”.
I waved him bye and walked into the school hallway. I hope today will be good.
I walked over to my locker and paused confused, locker 88 or is it locker 89.
“Its Locker 89”.
I turned to see Carl behind me. “Huh?”.
“Looks like we are locker buddies”. He said and opened his locker throwing some books in it then closed it back.
“Thanks for the in.fo, i will keep that in mind, locker 89”. I said.
He chuckled. “You know I never got your number yesterday, we didn’t get to talk more”.
I smiled. “Oh really? About what?”.
“I didn’t get to tell you what moisturizing cream I use”. He joked.
I snickered. “You are hilarious”.
“You look fun to hang out with”. He winked at me.
Mason came over and held Carl dragging him away so he wouldn’t talk to me.
“Why are you talking with her?”. I heard Mason said to Carl as they left.
The bell rang immediately and I checked my timetable before heading to my first class, Geometry. I hate Geometry.
I walked to class and found out the teacher was there already. Oh man.
I walked in nervously.
“Go take your seat, Miss Reyes, i haven’t got all day”.
I gulped nervously and searched around for an empty seat and it was at the front of Kyle.
I took a deep breath and went over there sitting down.
The Geometry teacher started talking, it hasn’t been five minutes when someone tapped me.
I looked back and saw Kyle smiling. Weird.
“Hey Sweetheart”. He said sweetly.
I ignored him and faced my front taking notes of what the teacher was saying.
“Come on, just look back”. He whispered.
I kept on writing ignoring him and saw a ball of crumpled paper on my desk.
I opened it and read it, i knew it was from Kyle immediately.
I tore the paper into pieces and threw them under the table.
He poked me at my back several times.
Finally, Geometry class ended and I rushed out of class running.
I stopped by a locker to catch my breath.
“You think you can run from me”.
I looked up startled to see Kyle.
He pushed me against the locker and put one arm above my head on the locker prevent me from moving.
“Relax, I just want to be friends”. He said.
I didn’t answer him, i was uncomfortable with him being this close to me.
“Look at me. Elsa”. He said harshly.
I tried to move but he didn’t budge at all. I looked at him and I almost melted because of his beauty.
“You cant take the cuteness?”. He mocked me.
Gosh!! He’s so full of himself.
“Kyle, I have a class to go to”. I spoke up.
“I want you here with me”. He whispered in my ear softly.
“Kyle ..”. I trailed off as I stared into his eyes befuddled.
He finally let go off me, i was about to walk away when he held me back and kissed my lips softly.
I gasped and he took the opportunity to kiss me more deeply su**king on my lips.
This is so unexpected. Kyle kissing me.
I couldn’t even contemplate what was happening as he slipped his hands around my waist drawing me closer kissing the hell out of me.
I ran my hands through his hair roughly as I kissed him back, Its just like what I’ve always dreamed of when coming back to SpringCity for Kyle to notice me. Me and my Childhood Crush kissing.
“Are you guys done?”. I heard behind us.
Episode 10 : School Gossip
🍭Elsa POV🌷
He held me back and kissed my lips softly.
I gasped and he took the opportunity to kiss me more deeply sucking on my lips.
This is so unexpected. Kyle kissing me.
I couldn’t even contemplate what was happening as he slipped his hands around my waist drawing me closer kissing the hell out of me.
I ran my hands through his hair roughly as I kissed him back, Its just like what I’ve always dreamed of when coming back to SpringCity for Kyle to notice me.
Me and my Childhood Crush kissing.
“Are you guys done?”. I heard behind us.
I know that voice. Carl.
Kyle pulled away. “Bye sweetheart”. He licked his lips before walking away from me.
Carl stared at me, he kinda had this look on his face as if he was worried for me.
“Dude!!”. Kyle called.
Carl looked at me weirdly one more time before meeting up with Kyle.
Holy jumping mother of a weasel in a side-car with chocolate spread and a hot cross bun.
Hey!! I didn’t say I was normal, i’m just befuddled by the fact that he kissed me and also he is my first kiss. Double wow!!
I went to my next class immediately so as to get these thoughts off my mind.
I walked into the bathroom after my fourth class to freshen up.
For some reason, some girls were whispering and staring at me in class but I ignored it.
I turned on the faucet to wash my hands before i turned off the running water.
“Elsa”.
I turned to see Beverly rushing into the restroom.
“Beverly? What happened?”.
“Are you crazy? Elsa, i clearly told you to stay away from Kyle but no you didn’t listen to me.
Instead you kissed him”. She said.
I was surprised. “How did you know about the kiss?”.
“You need to run right now, to any of the teachers before__”.
“Well well well, if it isn’t the one and only Elsa Reyes”.
Sapphire said coming in with her crew.
I furrowed my eyebrows. “Whats going on?”.
Kimberly came in. “Oh the whore is here”.
Sapphire crossed her arms. “You’ve got some nerves, first you insult me and then you go ahead and kiss my boyfriend”.
So thats what this is about!! But Kyle was the one who kissed me unexpectedly.
“Sapphire, I’m sure she didn’t mean it,she’s sorry”. Beverly apologized on my behalf.
Kimberly rolled her eyes. “Stay out of this, Beverly or else”.
“You are just a newbie and you clearly don’t know how things work here. Let me explain”.
Sapphire looked at me with disgust clearly in her eyes.
“Kyle is for me and no girl dare try to take him away from me”.
“But .. I .. I didn’t .. I mean, he kissed me”. I stuttered.
She rolled her eyes. “So? You kissed him back, didn’t you? You actually remind me of someone who tried to do that”.
“Who’s the bitch?”. Kimberly asked.
“That girl Kyle dumped me for back when we were still in 11th grade”. Sapphire looked at me.
“Do you know what happened to her? I gave her a piece of me and Kyle came back running into my arms”.
“And you stay away from Kyle because he’s my boyfriend”. Sapphire continued.
I didn’t say a word.
“Is she dumb or what?”. Kimberly asked looking at me in disdain.
“I heard what you said”. I told her off and walked past them.
One of the crew immediately pushed me back.
Sapphire frowned at me. “Did you just try to walk out on me?”.
“Sapphire please stop”. Beverly pleaded.
“Beverly stay out of this or you will be next”. Kimberly yelled.
“Evelyn, be sure to capture this”.
I was literally confused, capture what?
The ‘Evelyn’ brought out her phone immediately.
Sapphire grabbed me by my hair dragging me to one of the cubicle, she dunked my head in the toilet water before pulling me out.
She snapped her fingers and two of her crew dragged me out by my hair as I yelled in pain.
They pushed me outside to the floor of the school hallway. Students stopped to watch.
Sapphire glared at me. “Now tell me why you kissed my boyfriend”.
One of them pulled my hair up and I whimpered in pain.
“Can’t you talk? Bitch”. Kimberly asked.
I tried to get up but Sapphire slapped me, I was shocked, i couldn’t say a word.
My face hurt from what she just did.
She crouched to my level and held up my chin. “If you don’t talk right now, I’ll__”.
“Sapphire!!”.
She groaned and left me. “What?”.
Carl rushed towards me and helped me up.
Kimberly scoffed. “Carl? You with her?”.
I hugged him trying to stop myself from crying out loud in front of them.
“How dare you touch Elsa?”. He warned them.
“But she__”.
He cut Sapphire off. “Don’t ever try that again”.
“Carl, she__”.
“I said do not come close to Elsa ever again.
Do you get that?”. Carl said interrupting her.
Sapphire grunted angrily. “Fine”.
Carl held me and took me away from them, he led me to a place which I think is the school garden and sat me on a bench.
Tears fell from my eyes as I cried. Carl tried to soothe me but I cried the more.
I rested on the back bench and hugged my knees to my chest thinking of what Sapphire did to me.
My hair was still wet from that disgusting toilet water.
“Elsa?”.
I looked up to see Bryan in front of me.
He hugged me tightly to himself patting my back softly.
💌Bryan💌
I sat at one of the benches in the garden, I watched the video on the school website as Sapphire dunked her hair into the toilet.
I threw my phone on the floor angrily.
“Dude!! You just need to relax”. Carl said.
I sighed and ran my hands through my hair clearly frustrated.
Sapphire is really getting out of hand and this is all because of Kyle.
I stood up. “Did he really kiss her?”.
Carl nodded. “I saw what he did. Do you think its one of his trick?”.
I know why Kyle kissed Elsa, he actually knows that she is crushing on him but he’s using it against her.
Elsa would be defenseless when it comes to Kyle and thats why he kissed her.
I cracked my knuckles angrily. “Of course its one of his stupid doings, he just wanna take Elsa away from me like he did before”.
“How did he know you like Elsa?”.
I sighed. “He saw us at the park yesterday”.
Sapphire would then try to humiliate Elsa so she would stay away from Kyle, just like what she did to my ex-girlfriend.
“He’s just bent on proving that he’s better than me by taking all the girls I fall in love with”. I continued annoyed.
“The video is still live streaming”. Carl said.
“Carl, i need you to go help Elsa”. I pleaded.
“But what if Kyle finds out I did? He’s gonna ask why”. Carl said worried.
“Just make up some stupid excuse but please go get Elsa”.
He stood up and walked away.
I fell back on the bench tiredly. Elsa, I’m gonna make sure I protect you from Kyle because he is not worth your love.
I tapped my foot angrily, after a while, I saw Carl bringing Elsa and he sat her on one of the back benches.
I walked over to them and crouched in front of her, she was still crying.
“Elsa?”. I called.
She whimpered tearfully.
I hugged her tightly to myself trying to stop the anger brewing inside of me. Kyle is definitely gonna pay for this.
Carl tapped me signaling that he has to go, i nodded and and watched him as he left.
I sat on the bench next to Elsa and pulled her close to me.
She rested in my chest still sobbing, it pains me to see her this way.
“Come on, Elsa, its okay”. I said trying to calm her down.
She pulled away sniffing as she cleaned the tears on her cheek.
“Are you okay now?”. I asked concerned.
“I shouldn’t have kissed him, i should have pushed him away then maybe this would not have happened to me”. She said.
I slanged my arm around her. “Just ignore them”.
“Ignore them? Sapphire embarrassed me in front of the whole school just because of Kyle”. She said angrily.
“Yeah but__”.
“Gosh!! I feel so stupid. Gabriella was right, i shouldn’t go close to them”.
I paused. “Gabriella?”.
She nodded sadly. “Yeah Gabriella, she said Kyle and Sapphire did something horrible to her but she didn’t say what they did”.
Could it be the same Gabriella? I shrugged the thought off as I faced Elsa.
“Bryan”. She called.
“Yeah?”.
“Thanks for staying with me although I’m pretty sure I smell like toilet water”.
I chuckled. “I’d say you smell pretty good”.
She stood up. “Do you know where I can wash my hair?”.
“Probably the girls locker-room”. I answered.
She frowned. “I cant go there, who knows if Sapphire is still in search for me”.
“There’s a water fountain in this school or maybe a swimming pool”.
She crossed her arms. “So you expect me to dip my hair in it?”.
I shrugged. “Its water”.
She laughed. “You are not okay”.
I stared at her as she laughed, she’s really beautiful with her brown hair and caramel brown eyes.
I liked her from the first day we met but sadly she’s interested in Kyle.
I really don’t want to repeat the same mistake I’ve been making since.
All the girls I’ve ever dated always went to Kyle.
But now Elsa, she’s going to do the same thing also, go straight to Kyle.
Gosh!! I have to stop this feeling and push it away. No, no, I can not fall in love with Elsa Reyes.
“You’ll never change”. Sean said teasingly to Kyle as they settled in their Personal lounge in school.
Sean Barren, the basketball champion of SpringCity High, he was the only one in the crew who never got involved with girls.
Although girls flocked around him due to his facial looks, he had a muscular build and he was really tall but never the less, he never payed attention to girls.
Kyle chuckled. “What? Her lips seemed exotic”.
Mason scoffed. “Thats why you had to kiss her?”.
Mason Lynch, star quarterback of the football team which made him had girls around him and also made him arrogant and obnoxious.
He was known for going into bed with different girls and he had never fallen in love.
“Come on, Mason, don’t be too jealous. You can still have her in bed”. Kyle mocked him.
The door opened and Carl walked in.
“Whats up”. Carl said sitting among them.
“Where were you?”. Justin asked curiously.
“Obviously helping out the newbie”. Mason said angrily.
Carl glared at him. “Got a problem with that?”.
Carl Kris, captain of the swimming team and the nicest among the crew which made him the most loved by all and he was also given extra attention.
He was the only one who never agreed with the idea of bullying amongst students.
Mason couldn’t respond so he just glared angrily at Carl in return.
“Carl, the real reason why you helped her?”. Kyle asked.
“Elsa and I are friends and I don’t appreciate the idea of you going after her for your selfish reasons”. Carl replied.
Kyle scoffed. “I don’t even like the girl, i kissed her to show Bryan that she’s clearly in love with me, as always”.
Kyle Vegas, school’s president and the casanova of the crew.
He could easily charm girls with his looks and sweet talks but he had never been in a serious relationship.
He only had Sapphire as his fuck buddy.
“Hold up back there, Bryan likes the new girl?”. Justin asked.
“What? You like her too?”. Mason snapped at him.
Justin raised in surrender. “Jeez, dude, i was just asking besides you know I cant cheat on Kimberly”.
Justin Page, captain of the soccer team and the most quiet among them since he rarely talk to others.
He had a charming nature although he hardly talked to people which made easier for his girlfriend, Kimberly Howell, not to get jealous.
“I think Mason likes the newbie”. Sean teased.
Mason rolled his eyes ignoring Sean. “Kyle, keep talking”.
“Bryan clearly likes Elsa so all I have to do is to take her away from him”. Kyle said mischievously.
“Is the new girl going to fall for you?”. Sean mocked him.
Kyle smirked. “Elsa is totally crushing on me”.
“Don’t you think this feud between you and Bryan is childish?”. Carl spoke up.
Kyle clenched his fists. “Well he started it but I’m gonna end it”.
“You know many girls have hurt by Sapphire all because of you”. Carl continued.
Kyle scoffed. “Did I tell you I care?”.
“Carl is right, maybe you should stop playing around with the girls he like after all Bryan was our friend”. Justin said softly.
Sean laughed watching the video on his phone.
“Sapphire is really creative, did you watch the way she dunked that girl’s hair into the toilet?”.
“Now is not the time, Sean”. Justin told him off. “Kyle, you need to stop Sapphire before she hurts this girl even more”.
“Well I’m not gonna stop Sapphire”. Kyle said harshly. “I’m going to make life miserable for Elsa in this school and if anything happens to her, it will be Bryan’s fault after all he fell in love with her”.
