novelxo Chapter 11. Proposals
Chloe had the guts to ask the guy who she had a crush and if I remember correctly, his name was Jackson.
I had a plan to corner Cynthia in the bathroom with shades on hiding my eyes, so i'm able to dig deeper and figure out if she likes Evan or not. I could just ask her but I doubt she'll tell me the straight up truth.
Then, I'll convince her to ask him to the dance.
I'll come up with an excuse as to why I have the shades on of course.
As for Evan spilling his feelings to Cynthia, i'll think of something when I know how Cynth really feels.
As for me, well i'm still the new girl here. I don't talk to any other guy other than Mason, Jake and Evan.
Evan's off the list. Mason's obviously going with slimy bitch Mikaela. I don't hate her or anything its just that I know she's fake. I see right through all her lies. She's just using Mason for his body and public attention. She doesn't see him for who he is because obviously, he doesn't let anyone in except his best friend.
That leaves Jake.
I know a ton of girls will be asking him to the dance so I can't too keep my hopes up that he'll go with me. I'll just watch and see. If he wants to go with me, he won't say yes to any other girl who asks him.
It was now lunch time and Mason, Mikaela and Jake were sitting at our table. They sat with us everyday at lunch since the day at the coffee shop.
Jake had apologized to Cynthia and told her truth as to why he broke it off with her. She understood why and she was no longer upset with him. We got gazes from the other students of course but I ignored them.
Mason sat in front of me with Mikaela by his side of course. I was too occupied with my own thoughts I didn't hear her blabbering her mouth about wanting to a go as a slutty nurse and telling Mason he should dress as a doctor.
Okay, she didn't say slutty but who dresses as a nurse on Halloween and not make their outfit sluttified.
Jake was sitting right next to me eating a slice of pizza looking lost in his own world. I tell yah, this boy always seem to be day dreaming.
I messed up his hair a little in a playful way.
"Earth to Dimples." I giggled.
"Hey!" He exclaimed grinning. He ran his hand through his hair attempting to fix the mess I created.
A girl I recognized to be one of Mikaela's friends approached our table hands clenched in fists looking nervous. She was blonde and had hazel colored eyes..
"Ummm excuse me, Jake?" She quietly said.
"Oh hey Abigail. How's it going?" Jake greeted with a smile.
"Nothing much. Umm...I was wondering if you would...ummm .go to the dance with me." She shyly responded.
"Oh" Jake looked at our group before resting his eyes on me. He seemed to be hesitant. He looked back at Abigail with an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry Abbs. Someone already asked me and I said yes. I will be sure to spare you a dance though " he got up and gave her a small hug. She walked away quickly looking embarrassed.
"You didn't tell me you said yes to someone." My face falling as the second passed.
"I haven't. There's this girl i'm waiting on though so that's why I told her that." He replied looking me in my eyes.
I saw a hopeful look but again, I couldn't dig deeper because of these contacts .
I looked away from his gaze and unto my half eaten pizza.
Well there goes my plan to ask Jake to the dance. He had his hopes up for someone else. If i could just ask him who, holding his hand, I could get the truth by reading his mind. I could just casually touch his arm and ask him the question.
"What's the girl's name?" I asked him while casually resting my hand on his arm as a means to get his attention.
He looked at my hand and then to my eyes.
'Its you Ellie.'
"I don't think you know her." He looked away, his face unreadable.
He's waiting on me ? He's waiting on me to ask him. He actually wants to go with me. I sighed.
"Meet me outside at my car after school. I have something for you." I told him.
I had planned my proposal just in case I had picked up the nerve to ask him.
He muttered an okay before taking the last bite of his pizza.
The bell rang shortly after signalling the end of lunch.
"Hey Cynthia, come with me to the restroom." I told her.
"I'll see you later." I whispered to Chloe. I told her that I had plan to corner Cynth in the restroom and persuade her to spill the way she really feels about Evan. Excluding the part about me reading her mind of course.
Cynthia and I walked to the restroom. While she was using the toilet, I grabbed my sunglasses out my bag and locked the bathroom door.
I took out my contacts and hurriedly put my shades on before she was threw doing her business.
"Hey what do you think about these new shades ." I said turning to face her the minute she came from behind the door.
"They look cute. Where did you buy them?" She replied.
"Okay the real reason I asked you to come in here is that I wanted to ask you something. " I confessed.
She turned to face me then and I took the opportunity to gaze in her eyes and look deep down within her soul.
She stood there like she was in a trance. That usually happens when I use my powers on someone.
I then saw and felt like I was there in her past seeing and feeling what exactly happens when Evan's around her. Its like I was in her body witnessing everything. Feeling everything and hearing the thoughts that ran through her mind around him.
I felt nothing but adoration directed towards Evan. I felt like just being close to him and cuddle in his arms and stay like that for the entire day. I loved him.
She loved him. More than a friend. She was surely good at hiding it though.
I came out of her head not bothering to look into anything not having to do with Evan.
She then rubbed her eyes and shook her head .
"Oh Elena, we'll be late for class. We can't stand here talking about sunglasses when our education is out there waiting." She scolded.
"I think you should ask Evan to the dance." I blurted.
" what why would I do that?" She looked at me blankly but I could see her cheeks turning crimson red from blushing.
" Because you like him. No, you love him." I told her.
"Wait, how do you know? I thought I hid it well." She questioned me.
"So you admit that you love him." I challenged.
"Yes I do but that doesn't change anything. He doesn't feel the same" she sighed. I swear this girl is really blind.
" Ask him to the dance. Trust me. He'll say yes." I convinced her.
"If he says no, I swear i'll kill you for making me embarrass myself " she threatened.
"Yeah yeah. Go to class. I have a spare so I'm just going to the coffee shop to kill time." I pushed her out the bathroom.
I locked the door after she left ensuring that no one would be able to enter.
I put in my specially made contact lense in my eyes concealing the real color of my eyes afterwards.
I combed through my hair and applied a coat of my favorite lip stick before heading to the library where I silently persuade myself that i'll have the confidence to do what I had planned to do after school.
