I Never Knew, But
It's Always Been You
Chapter Two (part two)
Ella imagines her fingers
gliding over the keys and her voice making the sounds of music. She
hums with grace and elegance. She doesn’t really know what
this song is about. She just wrote the lyrics not really feeling
anything towards them. Ella shrugged that thought off and walked
through the front doors of the school and headed towards her
locker. As Ella approaches her locker she sees a familiar face,
Fletcher. He looks good today. Ella giggles and mentally slaps
herself for even thinking the unthinkable.
Fletcher watches as Ella approaches, her beautiful self and stride.
She seems to radiate with happiness; when she is shining,
everything shines. He certainly wasn’t going to admit his
feelings towards her anytime soon. Of course he had to make her
like him first. He had to do the unthinkable, flirt with his best
friend.
“Hey El. Well don’t you look just fine today.” He
greeted her with a smile. He stepped aside so she could enter her
combination in her lock.
Ella laughs and playfully hits him in the chest. “Hi. And
thanks.” She paused to giggle. Was Fletcher trying to flirt
with her? Why? “So why are you here so early?”
Ella asked him suspiciously. She opened her locker and a note fell
on the ground. She recognized it as the other copy to her lyrics to
the new song. She always writes down two copies just in case she
loses one. After all, Ella has been known to misplace things often.
Before she could bend down to pick it up Fletcher snatches it.
“Fletch give it back.” He holds the piece of wrinkled
paper up high above his head. Of course Ella couldn’t reach
way up there so she just started tickling him. “Fletcher
Reece Simmons, give me back that paper right now! Come on,
it’s important.” Ella tickled him in his
underarms.
Fletcher squeezed his arms shut tight so she is trapped in an
awkward hug position. “What’s the magic word?”
Fletcher teased. He was only inches apart from her face. In his
eyes her face is beautiful, and flawless. That dimple on her left
cheek just get’s him every time she smiles. If Ella
weren’t his best friend, he would have traced his thumb on
her dimple, then leaned in real slow and kissed her passionately as
if to say; I should have done this a long time ago. The catch is,
she is his best friend, and he doubts that Ella likes him in the
degree he likes her.
“Please?” Ella whines as she puts on her best
puppy-dog, pouty face. They both start cracking up after a moment
of silence. Fletcher releases her from his grasp and she snatches
the paper back. “Why thank you.” Ella said as she
smiled a cheeky smile. “Did you see anything on
here?” Ella asked as she motioned to the paper. She seemed
nervous to hear the answer.
Fletcher
noticed and decided to lie. “No I didn’t. I
didn’t see anything.” He replied and decided to play
along. “What is that anyway?” He asked
innocently.
“It is none of your business mister Fletcher. Now, I need to
get some books out of my locker and then can you walk me to
homeroom?” Ella suggested happily. Boy, she loves that
freckle right below Fletcher’s right eye. Whenever he smiles
it creases into a line. See, if Fletcher weren’t her best
friend then she would peck him on the cheek where another cluster
of freckles were placed. The thing is, Fletcher is her best friend,
and Ella is working on pushing those feelings beside. Why would she
want to ruin a perfectly great best friend relationship? Also, what
if he doesn’t like her back? Ella doesn’t want a repeat
of Ricky back in sophomore year.
Ricky Clarkson. 5’9”, muscular, tan, brown haired
beauty, Ella used to like him. For the record, he showed all the
signs of liking her back. He was the new kid, and he warmed up to
Ella. Out of all of the gorgeous girls that attended Parker
Memorial High School, Ricky spotted Ella. They hung out, shared
secrets, cuddled, and were almost a couple. This was until Ricky
told Ella that he has a girlfriend back home. That was the end of
Ella talking to Ricky. They are friendly with each other sure, but
Ella made sure Ricky knows how much pain he caused her. Ella really
liked this guy, but evidently they weren’t on the same
page.
