"Ellie..." he said, almost to himself. How could he had mistaken which day she would return to? He had already planned not to walk around the corridors when Ellie was back, he would be safe in his Common Room or on the Pitch but never ever somewhere public where they could run into each other. Even though he had managed to avoid Chandler
"I'msorryIwasn'tlooking." he said quickly and ran a hand through his hair. What was he supposed to say now? He had no idea, it had never been awkward between them , well apart from those times when he started to discover he had feelings for her.
Her eyes were locked on his. It had been so long since she'd seen him or heard his voice. And she missed it. She missed him. But she knew that Alex didn't miss her. She could tell. Ellie just wanted to talk to him, but he didn't want to talk to her. Well, he didn't say that directly. But Ellie got the hint. She broke his heart and now he wanted nothing to do with her. Fair enough. Now... She had two options.
Ellie could either try and make Alex see that she knew everything was a huge mistake. If only she could just talk to him and try to get what they had before back. Then her second option was to ignore him. Move on. Find something better. And potentially forget him. Because that's what Alex did about her. Or so it seemed.
Finally breaking the eye contact, Ellie moved her eyes back to her feet and absently scratched her neck.
"Er, yeah. Me too, sorry." She muttered back. Now what? She didn't know what to say. She didn't know what to do. She knew what she
wanted to do, but she couldn't.
It's good to see you." Ellie blurted before she could stop herself. Crap. She shouldn't have said that. Shouldn't have said that. But it was too late.
