Hellow!

I have a new story!
All credit for the awesome title goes to one of our friggin awesome admins, Joanna! Very Happy

All from the character Ella’s point of view.

I ~~Hate~~ Love You

Summary:

Ella has hated Tom since the first day he started kindergarten, for various reasons. Tom has secretly had a crush on her since…ever. Ella has no idea, and she thinks her feelings of hate for Tom are mutual. She never thought they’d be the exact opposite.

When Tom and Ella are paired up for a project in their advisory class together, will they be able to put aside their feelings for each other and get the job done? Or will Ella’s hate keep them from doing so? And when she finds out about Tom’s hidden love for her, will it make their relationship – if you can call it one – better, or even worse than it already is?

Kindergarten:

“Class, I’d like you to welcome two new students who will be joining us this year.” My teacher announced. I looked up from my coloring book to see two identical boys with oversized white and black bags on their backs. They had dirty blond hair and eyes that I could tell were a deep chocolate brown even from my seat in the back of the class.

“They’re twins.” She continued. “This is Bill,” she put her perfectly manicured hand on the shoulder of the boy on the right, who had a wide grin on his face that stretched from ear to ear. He looked so hyper that I wouldn’t have been surprised if he started bouncing off the walls at any given moment.

“And this is Tom.” She put her other hand on the shoulder of the boy to the left. He definitely wasn’t pleased about something, as there was a scowl rather than a smile on his face, a pout on his lips. His arms were crossed and he tensed when the teacher touched him.

“Gustav, why don’t you be Bill’s buddy for the day? Show him around and talk to him.” Gustav nodded and the twin named Bill nearly sprinted across the room to Gustav, pulling up a chair and immediately beginning to chatter with him. They were going to be good friends.

I was uninterested in the role of being Mr. Grump’s buddy, so I continued my coloring, trying to look inconspicuous. I always got the kids who were sad about leaving their mothers, or the tough cookies, even though I was one myself. I liked to make people happy, however, and I did just that, so the odds were, my name would be called. Nevertheless, I kept thinking not me, not me, not me, please not me.

“Ella?” I glanced at the teacher and gave her my best fake smile.

Of course, I thought. “Yes, miss?”

“Would you mind being Tom’s buddy? He’s not very happy right now, so could you make him feel welcome?” She made it sound like an offer, but everybody knew that when a teacher ‘offered’ for you to do something for him or her, they weren’t really giving you a choice. She nudged Tom towards my desk in the back before I even had a chance to say anything. I continued my coloring, not planning on making Tom feel anything but unwelcome to my desk.

I heard the screech of the chair as he pulled it over and the thump of his white bag hitting the floor. He sat down next to me awkwardly for a few minutes before having the courage to say something.

“Hallo.” He greeted shyly.

I looked at him, surprised he’d said anything. The blond boy gulped, and his leg shook where he sat.

“Hi.” I quickly returned to my coloring, trying to ignore him. My mom always had taught me to be polite to people, though, and I didn’t have the heart to ignore a perfectly sweet boy. Or so I thought he was. Well, what was I supposed to ask? How are you? We were just kids, so I settled for:

“Umm, wanna help me color?”

He shrugged, the corner of his mouth turning up into a small smile, and his tense posture loosening up. “Sure.”

“Okay, you can color the sky and I’ll finish coloring the trees.” I grabbed my blue crayon – my absolute favorite color – and put it in the palm of his hand. He studied it for a second before nodding his head and scooting closer so he could reach the book that had some color on it, but the picture of the monkey was still black and white.

We colored in silence for a while until Tom made an effort to start a conversation with me. “Monkeys are my favorite animal. They’re cool.”

“I like cats more. They have nine lives.” I objected.

“I don’t like cats.” He shuddered and grimaced, and I guessed that he was remembering a bad experience with them. I only shook my head, continuing to color.

I was so focused on keeping the color inside the lines that when I heard a sharp snap come from my left I jumped. I turned my head to see Tom with an embarrassed expression on his face and my crayon – a piece in each hand.

“Hey!” I nearly shouted. “Why’d you break my crayon? That was my favorite color!”

“It was an accident!”

“You still broke it!”

“Ella!” The teacher called from her desk. “Whisper!”

“But he – “

“I don’t care what he did! Quiet down!”

I sighed and turned back to Tom, who still looked regretful about his mistake.

“Sorry.” He whispered.

“’Sorry’ doesn’t make a new blue crayon appear out of thin hair! It doesn't make anything better!”

“I think it’s thin air, not hair.” He corrected.

“Whatever! Go break somebody else’s crayons!”

Tom got up from the chair and grabbed his white bag from off of the floor, heading over to see what a boy with brown hair and green eyes was doing. He was Georg, and as I colored angrily, I looked towards them a couple times to see them laughing and having fun, but one time I saw Tom staring at me with a sad look on his face.

I knew he was sorry; I just didn’t like him, so I didn’t forgive him. Ever.

And after the summer of tenth grade, I just hated him even more.

Na Na Na Naaa... Continue of no? (:
Thanx for reading! Very Happy
