Ellie's POV

* RING*

I run into school, later than ever. Everything that's happened had got me slowly falling behind. I run to my first hour.

" Miss. King?" Mrs.Porter asks before I can reach the door.

" Yes, Principal Porter?" I ask
" are you alright?" She asks
" yes ma'am." I try to make it sound believable
" let's go to my office shall we?" She raises a brow
" yes ma'am..." I put my head down and walk toward her.

Once we got into her office she speaks,
" sit Miss King."
I do as told.
" Now let's talk about yesterday's events."

Wait, what? She knows! How?
" what about yesterday ma'am?" I ask trying  to sound oblivious to what she's inquiring
" you know what Miss King."
" look ma'am, I'm sorry. I didn't mean too-"

" Sorry? For what? I was going to say Congratulations for making Valedictorian!"

" wh-what?"
" no one told you?" 
" no ma'am." My grin is huge

I couldn't believe it Valedictorian! It's a dream come true.

" Ellie?" Her smile fades, as do i's.
" yeah." My voice barely a whisper
I could tell she wanted to say something about yesterday's events in Art. But, thank god she dropped it. I don't think I was ready to speak of it.

" I'm here." She smiles slightly and places a hand on mine. " Well that's all, I just wanted to Congratulate you."

" thank you Mrs. Porter!"
" oh and Ellie.."
" yes." I turn around my hair whipping into my face.
" I love your hair that shade." I smile in return 
" thank you." And walk out.

As I walk into first hour,
" ahhh Miss King, why don't you explain to the cl-" before Mr. Sims could finish I hit his hard chest with my note from the office. And stood on my tip toes to reach him.

" Not today Brett." I then back up and stare at him.
" did you just call me-"
" yeah I did. Do you have a problem?" His eyes grow wide.

" Dang who lit the fuse in your tampon?" I hear in the back.
" Carter fuck off."
" Ellie?" I look back at Mr Sims
" I'm sorry." I breathe.
" I know you are. And I know about yesterday too. I'm sorry, how about let's take your seat and we can begin hmm?"
" yes sir." I smile weakly

" oh and by the way I like you hair." He smiled...

Class was about over and I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turn to see Carter.

" what?" I snap
" I'm sorry." 
" what?" I asked surprised
" truly. I should've embarrassed you like that and after everything yesterday.."

" I don't need your pity! God, why does everyone keep saying sorry!"

Carter looked at me with concern.
" do you wanna sit with me today?"
" huh?"
" I said-"
" I know what you said but why? Is it cause my change in hair color? Or your pity? Or maybe you just-"

" Ellie! I just feel bad. I know you and Gabe have been friends since forever. And everything he said with the bullying.. I'm one of them.. and i don't know, I just did it cause I thought you knew I was joking. And I'm really really sorry El! I truly am."
