3 Months Girlfriend
Chapter 11: Rivals +1

Since Sara accidentally made Elle's leg hurt, Bren no longer invites Elle to hang out with her friends. Bren said that Sara always messes up if someone new goes into their circle of friends. Because Sara doesn't like strangers interrupting their practice.

Bren did not apologize for the incident. Because it is not Bren's fault to make Elle's leg hurt. However, Elle also did not get an apology from Sara. No. gabe. If remembered again, yesterday Sara had said the word "Sorry". It's just not sincere at all. Even impressed as a mock. Since then Elle can sense that Sara is getting cynical to him. Although since the incident Elle has never interacted directly with Sara.

But even so, the relationship between Bren and Elle day by day is getting closer. At least that's how Elle feels.  Although at school sometimes Elle still felt the distance between herself and Bren.

It's only natural to happen. Bren is the most popular guy in school. While he was just someone who barely seemed to exist.

Elle and Bren chatted on the phone late into the night. To the extent that Elle often woke up late.

Like today. The clock on the nightstand has been ringing ever since. But, Elle did not also move from her kaur. If it wasn't for Yellena pulling Elle's leg down from the bed, then maybe Elle hadn't gotten up until now.

“Build, Sleepsman!” yellena said while shaking her waist.

“Can you wake me up more humanely?” elle's grouse was still upset that Yellena had managed to make her body hurt from clashing with the cold floor.

Elle's unattached hair, sticking out everywhere. His eyes were perfectly open even though the drowsiness was still stuck.

“You just slept like a koala. How can I wake you up like a human?” yellena said before she left Elle's room. ”Quick shower! Breakfast is ready!” he shouted from the door of Elle's room.

Elle got up from the floor. He walked to the nightstand to check what time it was, to make Yellena willing to make a furore in the morning. Elle's eyes were rounded when she saw the numbers on her digital clock. He immediately ran towards the bathroom, and hurried to get ready so as not to be late.

However, problems always arise at inappropriate times. Elle has been scattering all over the house for a long time, looking for her car keys. But, for some reason in a precarious situation like this the car keys are even more difficult to find. Elle grabbed her hair in frustration. Where did he put the keys to that damn car?

Elle couldn't ride away with her mother. Because her mother had already gone to work. This is because he woke up late!

There was a car in the front yard. Yellena's car. Also true! There's still Yellena. Why did the option of going to school in a Yellena car not cross his mind since?

Elle immediately ran out of the house and got into Yellena's car before the car could be driven.

“Out! I'll be late for work if I have to drive you,” drive Yellena out while opening the car door next to Elle.

“This one time only. I was too late and could not find my car keys. Please.” Elle cupped her hands together in front of her chest. He asked for mercy from Yellena.

Yellena rolled her eyeballs and snorted. He surrendered. Without saying much immediately Yellena delivered Elle, so that he was not too late also went to work. Actually what does his sister do, to often wake up late lately? Though not usually Elle wake up late if not on holiday.

“You didn't bring a car today, Elle? I can take you home. Today I'm free,” bargain Jackson when today's class is over.

Elle gave a sigh of relief. At least he did not need to contact Yellena to pick him up or take the bus to go home. Jackson's offer really helped. “Thank you Jackson—“

“Thank you Jackson for the offer. But, Elle will come home with me today.” Bren suddenly appears between Elle and Jackson.

Of course Jackson managed to be upset by Bren who always appeared suddenly and disrupted his friendship with Elle.

“I never said I wanted to go home with you!” tukas Elle who was annoyed because Bren again cut his sentence.

That made Jackson laugh triumphantly. “I don't think he wants to go home with you, Dude,” he said as he lightly patted Bren's shoulder.

Elle looked up at Bren. Honestly speaking. Bren managed to make Elle's heart beat unbecoming just by embracing it on the shoulder like this. Elle didn't know why this could happen.

Good Lord! If Elle doesn't immediately distance herself from Bren, Elle thinks her heart could explode right now!

Elle releases Bren's hand which hangs over her shoulder and steps slightly away from Bren.

“A-I, will go home with Jackson alone,” Elle said nervously. He quickly walked out of the school building. Without waiting for a response from Jackson or Bren. Elle hopes Bren and Jackson don't see her already blushing cheeks.

Jackson returned smiling triumphantly and sprinted after Elle. While Bren who did not want to lose also followed Elle until they arrived at the front yard of the school.

“No. You should come home with me.” Bren restrained Elle's arm and said full of emphasis and commands.

Jackson pulls Bren's hand until Bren's grip is removed from Elle's arm. “He won't come home with you. You shouldn't have forced him,” infuriated Jackson.

Elle closed her eyes tired. He soon leaves behind Jackson and Bren, who are still busy arguing over who would be more deserving. Elle better get home by bus.

Just a few steps away Elle leaves Bren and Jackson, the phone in her pocket rings. Elle frowned because of the unknown number plastered there. Elle lifted him out of curiosity.

“Hola,” greet the voice of the boy across the phone. A familiar voice in Elle's ears.

“An-der?” asked Elle in doubt.

“You've forgotten me apparently, Little Girl?”

“Stop calling me Little Girl. You're only two years older than me. I will soon be eighteen too. I'm almost an adult,” grumbled Elle. He had completely forgotten about Bren and Jackson who had been arguing about bringing him home. Elle was completely drowned with her chatter along with the person across the phone.

“By the way, I didn't call to chat with you. I called you because I'm in front of your school now to pick you up.”

Elle circulated her gaze as she was now already in front of the school. As his eyes caught the figure of a Spanish-faced man, the smile on Elle's face immediately widened. He immediately ran over to the guy.

“Ander!” his screech was overjoyed as he jumped into Ander's embrace. “I miss you.”

Elle was really happy to meet Ander. Ander Guzman was his best friend during his stay in Africa. Although Spanish, Ander was born and raised in England. So he has a thick English accent when speaking in English.

“I miss you too. Come on. I'll take you home. But before that you have to come with me,” Ander said as he led Elle to his car.

Ander was just about to run the car when someone opened the back door of his car.

“Can I hitchhike? My car broke down.” Elle rounded her eyes when she saw Bren casually getting into Ander's car.

Ander stared at Bren with a confused face. The confusion grew when a man with black hair got into his car.

“I too. My car is also broken. All the tires suddenly leaked out" Jackson said, arguing that they were not reasonable, while sitting next to Bren comfortably.

Bren glared at Jackson who was following him. Ander still doesn't understand what's really going on. While Elle looked at her two friends with a glued look.

“What do they do, anyway?!” sumpul Elle who was still flabbergasted by his second action.
