"Do you want to go with me to the welcoming dance party tomorrow?" said Zac, I was so shocked. Oh my gosh, did Zac just choose me, out of all the other girls in the classroom, me to the dance! in the moment I didn't think of anyone else, so ofcourse I said yes. It was also my first time that someone had asked me to a dance, well Ely too but... were just friends so I guess it doesn't count.
When class ended, I said goodbye to Vanessa and Alex as usual, and walked home with Ely, as we where walking to our houses Ely said, "Go to the dance with me", I wanted to say yes but I was alredy going with Zac... "i'm sorry Ely but I can't... I'm alredy going with Zac", I said confidently, Ely stopped walking and pushed me to a the wall of the sidewalk.
I tried escaping to the side, but Ely put both of his arms next to my shoulders, "Why are you going with Zac? you barely know him" said Ely, I responded saying "I was caught up in the moment I'm sorry.... Ely sighed and said, "you're not a little girl anymore Nicole your a woman for gods sake!", I looked up at him and confidently said "I know I'm not".
Ely suddenly started getting close to my face only inches away from kissing me, and said with a serious face, "Do you like Zac", I was so mad, how dare he interrogate me, I didn't have to tell him he wasn't my brother or anything like that so I said "Stop being overprotective, your not my boyfriend", Ely slammed his hand to the wall next to me and said with a rude voice "I'm just looking out for you!", I was so scared, I've never seen Ely act like this, so a tear fell from my left eye...
Ely saw my tear and put both of his arms down from both of my sides, as soon as he did that... I started running as fast as I could towards my home. Ely started running after me and shouted "Nicole stop I'm sorry I didn't want to make you cry", I tried not to make my voice crack and said "just...leave me alone", although I was running as fast as I could, Ely caught up to me...when he did, he hugged me from behind, I heard his heartbeat against my back his warm hands on my body, "Dont push me away" said Ely, I couldn't stay mad at him forever and I understood his intentions, so I turned around and hugged him back.
I apologized to Ely saying, "I'm sorry for always saying yes to all the boys... I just can't help it... sometimes I get caught up in the moment and make rash decisions" Ely lifted my chin up with his finger looking down at me, and gave me a sympathetic look saying, "Its not your fault... I'm always thinking that every boy you meet, is just like Ryan...", I hugged Ely more and buried my face in Ely's chest. I could hear his heartbeat going really fast, he must have been really happy that we made up. We stopped hugging and headed towards our houses to call it a day.
When Friday was here, Vanessa and Alex where also going to the dance, so when school ended Alex and Ely were just going to wait for us outside of the school, while Vanessa and I, headed with Vanessa to her house, in order to get ready which I did not understand because... what was wrong with dressing casual. As soon as I arrived to Vanessa's house she started throwing alot of things all over her bed makeup, dresses, Jean's, anything she could find, "I'm not gonna need all this" I said, "Oh honey I promise you, you will... Zac will make fun of you for the rest of freshman year if you dressed casual believe me I know" said Vanessa chuckling at the same time, I just nodded and let Vanessa do her thing with me, I wonder how Alex and Ely are doing though.
"Do you like Nicole" said Ely to Alex with a serious face, Alex confidently responded saying "ofcourse! anyone would be a fool to not like her...I dont understand why you haven't made a move on her?", Ely rudely responded saying "Mind your own business and stay away from Nicole do you understand me", Alex didn't respond, and was staring at something infront of him, Ely turned around and it was me...
