"That's all for today"
And that was the cue for all the students to rush out of class, well, except Ella. She still wasn't ready to face Blue, the girl had just walked outside.
They still hadn't talked things out and were still busily avoiding each other. It wasn't hard since Blue had part time jobs to attend to.
"Hey, you busy, wanna hangout?" Dean's voice came from behind, halting her thoughts
Come to think of it, the guy had been giving her the 'i like you ' vibes lately, though he didn't tell her, he was only acting clingy and friendly, weirdly friendly.
"Where do you want to go?" Ella asked putting her things together
"Anywhere" he shrugged "did Blue tell you about her new work place, you love stylish places right? Let's go there"
Blue's workplace? Hell nah!!!
"Maybe some other time, I'm not feeling too good today" she lied making Dean raise a brow
"You guys aren't on good terms are you? You don't talk to each other. We can go somewhere else if you like" he said, his eyes were literally begging her
Oh gawd!! He'll be hurt if she turned him down…..
"Fine, let's go somewhere else" Ella sighed inwardly "and we aren't having issues" she smiled "I'm referring to Blue, we ain't having issues" she added when he looked at her seemingly confused
"Oh okay" he smiled, he knew she was lying, if not why would she lie about not feeling good when he mentioned Blue's name "I'll help you carry your bag" he was already carrying her backpack, their problem literally wasn't his business.
What a gentleman!!!
...
the date with Dean was fun and for once Ella forgot about the Blue girl, well, until now, walking through the corridor towards the dorm room they shared.
She was sure Blue wouldn't be around, the girl normally worked till it was few minutes to curfew, like thirty minutes before curfew.
The lights were switched off when she walked in, proving that she was alone which kinda felt lonely.
Ella sighed, her body felt slump and empty. Just then the bathroom door opened revealing Blue.
Oh gawd!!
"Hey" Ella said awkwardly unaware why, she could have just ignored her, why did she have to be the first one to speak!
Blue gave a nod, unpacking her backpack on her table. The room was awfully quiet and Ella didn't like it or maybe both of them didn't like the silence.
"I'm going out to buy snacks, need anything?" Blue spoke first
"I'll come with you" Ella smiled "there's something I want but I've forgotten the name so I'll go with you" Lier…
Blue walked out, Ella following closely behind.
"Mmm…mmm" Ella cleared her throat, she didn't want to be the one to break the silence but she didn't want them to keep avoiding each other either "did I do something wrong? I've noticed you've stopped talking to me again" she said, feigning ignorance was better than saying it was a drunk talk, right?
"I have?" Blue raised a brow "haven't you been the one avoiding me?" She asked
"I have?" Ella faked a confused face
Facing Blue, Ella realized the girl was staring at her with raised brows and a smirk
"What?" She asked, was feigning ignorance a bad idea?!!
"Haven't you been avoiding me because you feel guilty or maybe embarrassed?" Blue smiled, raising her brows
She sure was really dangerously beautiful !!
Oh Ella!!
"What…. I don't know what you're talking about…. Why would I feel guilty or even… even embarrassed" Ella stammered
"Oh… you don't remember taking advantage of my vulnerable self?" Blue raised a brow smiling, she was quite taller so she brought her face down to match Ella's
Ella swallowed "we're here" she said sighting the supermarket near their school, she pushed Blue and ran towards it.
Take advantage of her vulnerable self? 'Wasn't I the vulnerable one in that situation, I was drunk' Ella screamed inwardly
If anything happened between them that night, wasn't she the victim? She was drunk for Christs sake and Blue literally wasn't, she could have easily pushed her away and not let her take advantage of her.
Hell, who was taking advantage of who???
NOTHING HAPPENED LUELLA!!!
