  Ellie held her lanyard tightly within her lanky hands as she sat down at the bench outside of the school. She was deep in thought of an unsurprising subject, Sean. He had acted like a friend to her, someone she could trust. No one had ever acted like that toward her ever since Marco.

  Ellie saw Sean and walked over to him, stuffing the lanyard in her back pocket. "Hey. ," Sean exclaimed cheerfully. 'He's acting really nice, is that even possible?' Ellie conflicted inside her had. "Erg, we have a deadly math test today! ," Sean proclaimed, frowning slightly.

  "Oh goody, math! ," Ellie smirked remembering all her tests she received in math. "It can't be that hard! ," she added encouragingly. Sean made a loud 'pfft' noise and waved goodbye to her. Ellie returned to her spot on the bench, continuing to think.

  "Hey, El! ." yelled a far-away voice. Ellie turned to fin Ashley excitedly waving. Ellie sighed heavily, knowing what to expect.

  "Craig keeps staring at her! Can you believe it, her!…," Ashley stopped, noticing the blank look on Ellie's face. "What's wrong? ," she questioned with a concerned voice.

  "Nothing in particular. ," Ellie answered, knowing she hadn't told Ashley the truth.

  "You sure? ," Ashley continued coxing her head.

  "Yeah, okay? ," Ellie declared holding in her pride.

  "Manny, uh, hey. ," Craig said, waving to her. Manny turned her head and walked up to JT, whose heart pounded nearly out of his chest. "Hey, JT. ," she said, proudly. "M-Manny, hey!" JT replied vigorously. "Do you want to walk to class together? ," she asked, melting JT's heart. He nodded, unable to speak.

  Manny linked arms with him and turned to look at Craig's jealous face. She narrowed her eyes at him and walked away laughing as JT told her a joke.

  Ashley pounded her fork against the table, angrily. "Let me just guess, Craig. ," Ellie declared, closing her eyes, awaiting an answer. "Yeah, that little…"

  "Hey, can I sit here? ," Sean asked, looking at Ellie.

  "Sure, why not? ," Ellie asked brightly.

  "I'll leave you two alone…"

 "Right…. ," Sean said, blushing a bit. Ellie spooned her mashed potatoes, thinking of something to say.

  "Nice weather were having, eh?" she asked mentally kicking herself for acting so queer. "Uh, yeah. ," Sean said awkwardly. He got up, "I think I'll go meet up with Jay, okay?" Ellie nodded in disappointment. 'The weather! THE WEATHER!? I'm an IDIOT!' Ellie thought, slapping her hands to her head with disgust.

 (A/N: Nothing too intense in this chapter, I decided to add the MannyJTCraig thing because I wanted to bring in some jealousy. Thanks to degrassicutie1, Autumn, justanotherdream, PsYcHoJo, KT the Shimmer Skank, orange_crush3, and sistercousin! I appreciate your reviews!)
