It still bothers Alexandria that Ellie is avoiding her, even her presence. She saw each other in front of their classrooms, but Ellie didn't say a thing. He went to his classroom as he didn't talk to her. Ellie approaches Riley with his friends as he wants to deliver his splendid news for him. They kept quiet so they could give him a chance to talk.
"Good morning! I broke up with my girlfriend," he said it too nicely.
"Huh?" he retorted, as he can't believe it.
"It was just like you said it was. Since I broke up with her, please go out with her," his buddies chuckled at what he said. It's like he gave up their relationship so easily. "But, in case you don't go out with her… Then please acknowledge that you weren't able to prove it,"
"What is that? Were you the back-up for his girlfriend, Alexandria?" one of his friends said like she was insulting him. "Did you ask him to do that for you?"
"For real?!" It seems like he's being insulted for being uncool. Riley's blood boils and to his great annoyance he suddenly kicked the table hard.
The students in their classroom shouted as they startled. Ellie's expression still doesn't change at all.
"DON'T GIVE ME THAT CRAP!" he punched his face so hard and he tumbles on the floor. "I had enough of you looking down on me! Don't get full of yourself, you LOSER!"
Alexandria came to the classroom as she saw Ellie is getting beaten by him. "Ellie!" she approaches her and she shakes him. "Are you okay?" still no response. It seems that he's unconscious. Her blood suddenly irritates as she looks at Riley's face. Her beautiful eyes suddenly changed to devilish look, and she gradually comes closer to him.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"Someone like you… should turn into dust!" she said, and she slapped his face so hard.
Riley suddenly felt dizzy while Alex suddenly grabbed his collar as she looked at him. His classmates looked at Riley as they became scared of her. It stunned them by what they saw, yet they feel scared. She let go of Riley and she carried Ellie on her back to take him to the hospital.
AFTER ONE AND A HALF HOURS
Ellie woke up as he regained consciousness. He feels disappointed in himself because Alex protected her from him as he promised to protect her. Christian came to see him as he gives him a pack of ice cubes.
"There's no damage to your brain. You can go home now," he announced to him.
"Thank you,"
Christian sat next to him as he wants to know something. He stares at his face like he's looking for something special that Alex saw from him.
"W-What is it?" Ellie suddenly asked.
"Did you cast some magic on Alexandria?" he asked, and Ellie suddenly felt silent. Christian realizes now that Alex's words were true about him. "Please keep it a secret from her. She's really changed out of nowhere. I mean today… she really surprised me. Just a little while ago, she helped a little girl who was lost, she was yelling loudly. She wanted to find the mother of the child. Do you think it's no big deal?" his words surprised Ellie as he got the wrong idea about what happened on that day.
"But you know what? I've known her for a long time since childhood, and I just couldn't believe it. She told me she wanted to become a special person just like you. Please have some more confidence in yourself," he gave him an advice, and he leaves his room. Ellie didn't predict that Alex appreciated him since the day that they started dating. He constantly thinks of himself, and he does not think of Alex's feelings for him.
"I'm glad…" Alexandria said as she comes to his room. She gradually comes to him and she suddenly called Riley to come to his room. Riley's face was full of bruises as he confronts him.
"What the!" Ellie suddenly startled as he saw his face.
"I won't apologize to him!" he yelled.
Alex slapped again his face so hard and he suddenly terrified. "I'm sorry…" he murmured.
"I'm okay now,"
"I'm pissed off," she retorted to Riley, so he walks away from them.
"Wait! You have to message Rejean!" Ellie asked to him. Riley took his phone, and he contacts Rejean via text message. This is the first time that Riley becomes scared of them. "I sent a message to her, and I gave my contact number!" he said as he's having a mental breakdown.
"You can leave now!" Alex commands him and Riley leaves the room.
She sighed as they now solve their problem. She cries and she hugs him tightly. Ellie startled as he feels her warmth of her body. "I'm so glad…" she cried. Ellie felt like Alex wanted to do this all this time as she misses him.
"I'm sorry!" he yelled, and Alex suddenly startled.
"Why is it? What's wrong, Ellie?"
"I misunderstood you, and I lied to you. I'm really sorry!" he said it nicely with his feelings.
Alex felt glad about him because he finally became honest with his genuine feelings. Alex forgives him as she patted his head.
"W-What are you doing?" his father asked when the entire family suddenly came to him. It frightened Ellie when he saw that his father looked at him like a monster.
"Oh, crap!"
"ELEANOR! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ALEXANDRIA?!"
"Let's run!" Ellie grabs her hand as they ran towards the exit.
His father chased her when Ellie and Alex ran quick like they were being chased by a monster. Ellie is still frightened while Alex feels fun while they are running together. She laughed and cried as they ran.
