CHAPTER 4
ELLY'S POV
OM MY GOSH! THE IDIOT WITH THE LAMBORGHINI IS MR LIAM SALVATORE'S SON? AND A NEW STUDENT? AND HE'S HOT? Why do all handsome guys have to be a jerk. He was at the front of the class and was walking towards us, at the back of the class. Since our class is long and narrow Caroline had some time to plan her apology.
"Guys, so this is what were gonna do. I will apologize to him really quick and if he doesn't accept it.........".
"If he doesn't accept it....?" I asked.
"I'm gonna run for the hills."
"There are no hills for you to run." Phoebe said.
"Its a saying Phoebe". Caroline whisper yelled.
Leo came and stood in front of our table and Caroline started blabbering.
"Okay look, I didn't know you were Mr. Salvatore's son and you were pretty disrespectful and I just got really frustrated because that was my favourite blue dress okay?"
Ouh boy, this is gonna be a loonnggg day.
"So for what its worth, I'm sorry." she finished.
Leo grabbed a chair from the table beside and sat on it. And the next thing he did was something that none of us expected for him to do. He extended his arm in a polite way.
"Hey, I'm Leo! Its nice to meet you. Officially." he said with a smile on his lips.
The three of just sat there, shocked and didn't know how to react. After a long time, Caroline took his hand and introduced herself.
"Caroline Williams" she said with a smile.
Wow...that girl has some nerves.
"Actually I'M sorry for behaving like that. To be honest, I didn't know what to do. I just panicked and thought the least I could for you was to buy you some new clothes. So, I'm sorry." he said.
"Its fine, I shouldn't have
slapped you either. Heh." Caroline replied.
"So, friends then?" Leo asked.
Awww how adorab-No. I cut of my thoughts in my mind.
"Yeah...FRIENDS"
A few minutes later....
"So, which school were you studying at before this?" Phoebe asked
"Oh, I was studying in a school in New York. Dad moved here for his job and mom and I were there. We finally found a new home suitable for us and mom found a new job here so we moved." he replied.
They were all making small talks but I wasn't. I was just listening and sometimes staring at him and his beautiful features. HE'S SO HANDSOME. URRGGHHH!!!.
"Elly? ELLY?" Phoebe's voice cut my thoughts.
"Huh?". "What are you thinking about? The bell already rang. Do you wanna stay here all day?" she asked angrily.
"Sorry, lets go."
On our way back to Caroline's house I couldn't stop thinking about Leo. Without even realizing a smile appeared on my face.
"Elly, Stop" Caroline said.
"Hmm?".
"What's wrong with you. You've been daydreaming all day. What do you have on your mind?" Caroline asked worried.
"Its nothing Care, I was just thinking about something." I lied.
I guess I should've known better than to lie to my best friends.
"Something or someone?" Phoebe asked with a mischievous grin on her face.
I glared in reply. Caroline looked at Phoebe and me, confused then shocked. That shocked look was immediately replaced by a knowing smirk. Looks like she got it.
"Ouuuhhhh, so that's what this is about. MR LEO 'NEW HANDSOME BOY' SALVATORE." she said sarcastically.
"WHAT? NO! Of course not." I denied.
They both stopped on their tracks and gave me the look. Oh you know THE LOOK. The look that says 'REALLY?' in a very sarcastic way. Yeah, THAT look.
"Okay, okay. I sorta' like him." I gave in.
"AAAAHHHHHHH" Caroline shrieked so loud I could've gone deaf.
"Jesus, relax. Its not like I'm dating him".
"Oh come on. Have you seen your face in the mirror. Its GORGEOUS. He will fall for you in a millisecond." Phoebe said and I rolled my eyes.
"Exactly. You know what, he might even be thinking about you RIGHT NOW!." Caroline continued.
"Okay that's enough. We're here" I said cutting of their speech.
We entered Caroline's house and we immediately realized that something was off. It was a little too quiet. Usually when we come over, we will be greeted by Uncle Rick, Caroline's dad. But no, there was no sign of him.
"Dad?... DAD?" Caroline shouted.
No answers. Caroline entered the room to check if he was there. Suddenly we heard Caroline's scream from upstairs. Phoebe and I ran up to check on her. When we reached we saw Uncle Rick lying on the floor, unconscious and Caroline sitting next to him tears rolling down her cheeks. Phoebe immediately called Caroline's mom while I was trying get Uncle Rick back to consciousness. Caroline looked petrified. I hope everything will be fine. IT HAS TO BE. For Caroline.
