Down For You

Chapter 7 Prelude to Understanding

"Computer and IT prelims, ugh I hate it a lot," I scream in frustration.

I lazily get out of bed and fix myself before taking a bath.

After finishing getting ready, I leave the house and start walking a mile just to arrive early at school. Since I'm too early, I decide to walk instead of taking a ride from a tricycle or anything.

"Ugh, I'm too early and tired," I mutter as I take my seat in the empty classroom. I lay my head down for a minute while waiting for others to arrive.

"Good morning, early bird," Archer says as he takes a seat next to me.

I glance at him in a lazy manner. "Too lazy and tired already in this morning? I'm sure you didn't get any sleep last night because of the preliminary exam right? you review all night," he jokes. "You'll probably ace this exam. Will you let me copy your answers, hahaha?" he teases.

"Nah, I didn't study, and even if I knew the answers, why would I let you copy my answes?" I reply flatly.

"Haha, it's too early to be flat, miss Ellaine," he laughs.

"Tsk," I sigh as I lay my head down on my desk.

"Okay, sleep well miss Ellaine. I'll wake you up before our professor arrives," I heard him, but I don't bother to look at him and simply close my eyes and fall as sleep.

"Princess, wake up," I hear someone whisper in my ear.

"Ugh, I swear to God, whoever calls me by my first name will regret it later," I groan before lifting my head off the desk.

"Oops, sorry, hehe, Kayla tell me to called you 'Princess' instead of Ellaine," Archer explains, now giving me a peace sign. I shoot a death glare at blushing out loud by laughing of Kayla, giving her a middle finger, but suddenly Archer slap my hand that signing a middle finger at kayla. Irritated by all of them, I grab my bag and move to the front seat without looking back.

“Ellaine!”

“Hey ellaine.”

“ we're sorry Ellaine!” I heard them but didn't bother to look at them. Our classmates are now looking at us now, but I don't care.

After the examinations, I grab my bag and quickly leave the room, but Archer grabs my hand and brings me to my friends at the back.

"What?" I say irritably.

"Sorry," Kayla says, biting her nail.

"It's okay, I'm just not in the mood. And please, guys, stop calling me by my first name. I really hate it," I say, hugging a teary-eyed Kayla.

"Ellaine, I'm really sorry too," Archer apologizes, but I don't acknowledge him. He signals to my friends to leave us alone, and my friends quickly understand the signals and giving us a moment.

"Hmm... So?" I ask irritably, feeling overwhelmed.

"Look, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't know you didn't like being called by your first name ‘ Princess’, and I'm sorry for slapping your hand too hard. I did it because you I really hates it when you doing that thing, okay? And it frustrated me I don't know why, but it's true. I hope you understand even so it's hard to get it," he explains, feeling remorseful.

"Whatever.” As I rolled my eyes “You had no reason to slap my hand. You mean nothing to me," I reply before leaving.

As I leave the room I didn't see my friends outside the room, I decide to go home early, still upset from the day and not in the mood to do anything. So I head to bed and fall asleep.
