I Never Knew, But It Has Always Been
You
Chapter Three (part three)
The three
girls exited the bathroom and innocently walked back over to the
table where the guys were seated. Kay was right, Fletcher did look
at Ella in a sort of mysterious,
you’re-so-beautiful-and-I-like-you sort of way. Kay sat down
next to her boyfriend, Carson, and Ella next to Fletcher and
Jeanette next to Todd. Jeanette secretly likes Todd, but he has a
girlfriend. Todd is dating Chelsea. She is a really nice girl, but
she is a dancer so she never has time to hang out. She has gotten
several offers from high-class private art schools, but she
doesn’t want to go because she doesn’t want to be under
all of that competitive pressure. A couple times things were rocky
between them. Chelsea never hangs out with Todd, and sometimes that
bothers him. He tries to understand her bust schedule, but
sometimes he just can’t handle it. They almost broke up more
than a few times. Of course Chelsea was always there for him; that
is the best you can do for someone you like, but they don’t
like you back.
The friends talked amongst themselves for awhile until everyone ran
out of things to say, so then they ordered some snacks. Fletcher
kept nudging Ella with his foot and she kept giggling. Both of them
got some weird looks for the other friends. It was silent between
the teenagers for a couple minutes until Carson said, “So,
the movie is at five o’clock. We’ve got about an hour
to kill. What are we gonna do? It’s almost four right
now” Carson said checking his phone for the time. The group
started talking about what to do no one could come up with a really
good idea.
Suddenly Ella got an idea. “Well what if we just go hang out
at the park for awhile until the movie starts. We could go by our
spot.” Ella suggested. Everyone seemed to like that idea so
they paid the bill and got up and left Sonny’s
Diner.
The same situation happened with the whole walking thing. Fletcher
and Ella ended up walking a little ways behind the others. This
time, Fletcher grabbed Ella’s thin hand and weaved his
fingers through the spaces between hers. Ella glanced up into his
twinkling eyes and smiled. “So Ella, I think you’re
good for me.” Fletcher said in a soft tone, almost a
whisper.
Ella smiled and knew what he was talking about. They walked through
the park’s well groomed grass to their spot in the outskirts
or the park. Ella and Fletcher stumbled across this spot the night
Fletcher’s mother died. He texted Ella to have her meet up
with him at the park so he could have someone to talk to. He knew
that if he called any of his other friends they wouldn’t
understand the loss of someone like that.
