It's been four weeks since Bella got out of the hospital and has forgotten about everything that went down that week. It was almost Halloween and almost her and Elliot's fifth-year anniversary. Bella loved Elliot a lot and would do anything for him. It was the last Friday before Halloween and the last football game until November fifth. Bella was too busy in her thoughts to even notice Elliot standing in her bedroom doorway.
"Hey" he whispered snapping her out of her thoughts
"Hi" she whispered back smiling, he walked over to her and kissed her before sitting next to her.
"What are you up to?" he asked
"I'm thinking about this weekend, with you and it's our last Football game together for a minute as it's almost our fifth year anniversary." she smiled
"Ah, it is. Yeah after today I have a fun plan for Halloween" he laughed, which made her giggle and she leaned up to kiss his neck.
"Okay, I need to get ready for school," Bella said standing up and heading to her closet seeing as it was 6:00 am and their school starts at 6:45 am. After Bella got dressed she grabbed her book bag and Cheer bag along with her phone.
"Let's go now," She said as she and Elliot walked out the front door to his car. Bella put her bags in the back seat along with his bags before climbing in the front passenger seat next to him. Elliot started the car and they made their way toward their school. They stopped by Dunkin' Donuts before heading to school which about made them late but they made it in time.
"I'm never running you to Dunkin' before school for a while." Elliot laughed
"Okay babe, let's get to class." Bella smiled. They had enough time to put their Cheer and Football bag in their lockers before running to class and just made it before the bell. They sat down in their seats and the teacher began.

"Okay, who can tell me about World War II?" Mrs. Danforth asked, "Bellatrix, how about you tell us about it since you clearly know everything since you are in your own mind" Mrs. Danforth called her out.
"Okay, let's see where to start. Um okay. The war started on September 1st, 1939, and ended on September 2nd, 1945. The war started when Germany invaded Poland and the war was against the world's Axis and Allie Powers. The Holocaust was the most terrible event that happened killing millions of people. Toward the end of the war, the Nazis and their collaborators attempted to destroy much of the existing documentation and other physical evidence. To accurately estimate the extent of human losses, scholars, governmental agencies, and Jewish organizations since the 1940s have relied on a variety of different records—including census reports, captured German and Axis archives, and postwar investigations. Current estimates might change as new documents are discovered or as historians arrive at a more precise understanding of the events. While no precise numbers are likely to ever be determined, after 70 years of research and increasingly open archives, these ranges are likely not to change dramatically in the years ahead.....Does that answer your question or do I need to go into further detail?" Bella asked with a sly smile on her face. Everyone looked at her with a shocked look on their face but Elliot looked at her with amazement.
"No...no that about covers it thank you," she said before going back to teaching the class.
POV: Bellatrix
"Bel, I cannot believe you did that," Charlie said
"Why not, 'cause you didn't think I had it in me?" I asked
"What-no. You're just a good kid I thought it was embarrassing for you to stand up to Mrs. Danforth. I heard that she was reporting you" Charlie explained
"Whatever all I'm going to say is she asked a question and I answered it. Did I not?" I asked
"You did," the group said.
"It's settled now I'm going to my locker y'all go ahead and head to class I will catch up," I said before turning down the hallway to my locker. I grabbed my Science book out of my locker before closing it. I jumped when I saw someone standing next to me.
"Oh hey" I smiled small
"Hey," he said "Sorry I'm new and I need help finding my classes I didn't mean to scare you at all," he said
"Oh hi, I'm Bellatrix Fox," I said sticking my hand out for him to shake it
"Yeah right sorry, my name is Barry Allen, but a lot of people just call me Barry, or sometimes people call me Bear," he said shaking my hand.
"Are you okay?" I asked
"Yeah, sorry I'm acting all weird now it's just you really pretty and I get nervous around pretty girls," he explained
"Okay, what class do you have now?" I asked taking his schedule. "Okay you have Mr. Head and it just so happens that's my teacher too." I smiled, I handed him his paper back and walked him to our class.
"Hello Bella your late" Mr. Head said
"Yeah, I'm sorry but I brought a new student with me" I explained
"Oh hello there young sir what's your name?" he asked
"Barry Allen, but everyone just calls me Barry," he said
"Okay well then Barry you can sit in the back next to Bella, will you help him with what we are doing today?" Mr. Head asked
"Yes, common Barry," I said walking back to the back of the classroom with him.
*****
Our class was working on a Project Narrative for Science and Mr. Head partnered with me and Barry up together. And let's just say Elliot wasn't happy about that.
"Okay so what do you think the Anatomy of the Body is-" I said before being cut off
"Bella, can we talk for a minute?" Elliot asked
"Yeah, okay think about that question and excuse me" I smiled before following him to the corner of the classroom.
"What's up Elliot?" I asked
"Are we okay?" he asked
"Yes, why wouldn't we be?" I said
"I dunno it's just because you seem so happy with that guy and you don't really ever seem happy with me" he explained
"Are you jealous? Is that what this is?" I asked him
"No" he shot back
"Oh my god. You're jealous that I'm gonna leave you for him. Elliot, I don't even know him he walked up to me in the hallway and asked me to help him cause he is new. So I did and we have the same schedule so, of course, I'm going to help him. And the only reason Mr. Head put Barry with me is that I'm really smart. Point proved in History class today. So don't ever think I would leave you for him. I. Don't. Know. Him." I said before walking back over to Barry.
"Is everything okay, you seem stressed?" Barry asked
"Yeah, I'm fine it's just my stupid boyfriend" I sighed
"Oh, you have a boyfriend?" Barry asked
"Yeah, his name is Elliot, he's over there," I said pointing to him as he and Matrim talked.
"Okay, um are you going to the game tonight?" Barry asked
"Yes, I am the Cheer captain" I smiled
"Wow, you must look pretty in your cheer outfit," he said
"I would hope so, 'cause if I didn't then whatever" I giggled.
POV: Barry
Dammit, she has a boyfriend. I kinda was hoping she was single. She is really pretty, and her laugh is so cute. I hope I can win one with her, one day.
"Barry? Barry?" Bella said snapping her finger in front of my face.
"Oh yeah sorry," I said
"Class is over let's go," Bella said, I nodded my head and followed her.
POV: Bellatrix
I lead Barry to his next class before heading to my next class. We don't have third period or fourth period together but Elliot and I had the exact same schedule. I walked into Health class and sat next too Elliot. Which is where my assigned seat is.
"Hey Bel," Elliot said, I just tried my best to ignore him.
"Okay, class take your seats and pull out your notebooks and a pen" Coach Reed instructed, we all did as we were told and took out our pens and notebooks. "Today you will be taking notes on AID's and STDs, you will be copying the notes from your books in front of you. I want to see these notes before you leave this class." Mrs. Reed instructed before sitting down at her desk.
I opened my book and turned to the page and just started writing. I couldn't handle talking to Elliot right now cause if I do then I'm gonna yell at him.
"Bel" Elliot whispered
"What?" I said not taking my eyes off the notes
"Please look at me" he begged, so I looked at him, "I'm sorry about earlier, I just-you were right. I was jealous. And I don't know why, he is the new kid and we have been together for so long. I just-I wanted to say sorry for what happened-" he rambled, but I cut him off with a kiss. When I pulled away I looked him in the eyes and smiled before going back to work.
