Green Does Not Look Good On You, Alyza [good short books txt] 📗

Main Characters name is pronounced: L-e-on-uh...

“…Samuel Augustine.” My teacher called out

“Here.” Samuel muttered

She looked up and ticked his name off.

“Nick Stanton?”

“Right here, Ma’am.” Came his cocky voice

I rolled my eyes and looked out the window. Admiring the beautiful day.

“Carly Justin’s?”

“Here, Mrs. Walker.” Her slutty voice said in an annoying tone

“Eric Matthews?”

“Here, Pretty lady.” Once again, I rolled my eyes

It sucks to have all the number one players of the school in your history class.

“Isabelle Stanton?”

“Present.” Isabelle was alright but people just assumed she was rude because of her brother, Nick.

“Bella Parks?”

“It’s Bella-Elaine and I’m right here.” Bella glared at Mrs. Walker

Mrs. Walker rolled her eyes, “Oh, I’m sorry Bella- Elaine

.”

That’s why I love Mrs. Walker. She’s awesome and doesn’t take any crap.

“KemberlyAnna Rodriguez?”

“Right here.” Kemberly raised her hand then went back to talking to Carly.

“Eliana Monroe?”

“Here.” I said quietly from my seat in the back of the class

She looked up, probably because she couldn’t hear me. She smiled and ticked my name off. I smiled back slightly and went back to looking out the window.

“Hey, Eliana! Why are you so damn ugly?” Nick asked oh so innocently

The class erupted in laughter. I rolled my eyes and stared up into the sky. Trying to calm myself down so anger wouldn’t control me.

“Can you hear me?!” He yelled from across the class

“Nicolas! Leave her alone.” Mrs. Walker scolded

“I just asked an innocent question.” I could practically see the innocent look on his face while he widened his bright blue eyes to add to the ‘Innocent effect.’

“Leave her alone.” Mrs. Walker said slowly

“Why can’t she just answer my question?” He asked

“For the last time, Nick. Leave her alone.”

He scoffed, “Nope. C’mon Eli, just answer the question.” I could feel his blue eyes burning a hole into the side of my head

I turned to stare at him but stayed silent.

“Are you gonna answer?” He asked impatiently

Nicholas Stanton has made my life a living hell since freshman year. We are now Juniors. Sophomore year I found out a ‘solution’. I found out the more you answer his ‘questions’ the more he messes with you. So I don’t answer for my benefit and his.

So now I just don’t talk to him. I stay silent and stare at him through my thick grandma glasses. Don’t blame me, I tried to get new ones but my parents don’t have enough money. We’re poor. Like, really, really poor. We barely have enough money to pay for our two bedroom apartment.

I don’t blame them or anything. They work hard. My mom is a nurse and Providence hospital and my dad has two jobs. His first job is a mechanic and his second job is a ice cream parlor person.

Don’t know what it’s called. Those were the only jobs he could get considering how bad the economy is these days. I keep insisting that I can get a job too but they refuse and say I’m the child, they should be taking care of me.

Of course I don’t listen. I baby sit most of the time. I tell my parents I have after school studies or something when I have to work.

All the money I get from babysitting I put in our money jar. My parents don’t even notice the extra money in there.

“Hello? Anybody in there? God, she’s ugly and

stupid.” Nick said loudly, only then did I realized he was sitting in the seat next me, waving his hands in front of my face

I turned to him and raised a brow. He looked at me then looked into my light blue eyes. He gasped and quickly got up.

I arched a brow as he ran over to his desk. Okaaaay, then. I shrugged and looked out the window again.

“Okay, Class. Get out your text books, turn to page 327 and read until the next chapter.

I sighed and got my text book out. I turned to page 327 then flipped the pages until I reached the next chapter.

What the hell?! Why we gotta read 20 pages?!

“What the hell?! Do you know how long this chapter is?!” Nick cried out with wide eyes

“Yes, 20 pages. Not that big a deal.” Mrs. Walker said rolling her eyes, “I have to go get your guys’ work sheet from the printer down the hall. Be good.” She said the last part glaring at Nick

He smirked, “Nothing about me is good.”

She rolled her eyes and walked out. That’s when the chaos began. Kids started yelling and throwing things. I looked up and my eyes landed on Nick’s.

He was staring at me but when he saw that I noticed he quickly looked away and started talking to Eric.

“She’s coming!” Someone yelled

Everybody rushed to there seats and began pretending to read as Mrs. Walker walked in.

“I heard you guys all the way down the hall.” She stated handing out the papers

The class laughed and I just sat there, staring at the markings on the desk. One said, ‘Leslie was here’

. The other marking was just a line. Who draws a line? Really though?

“Sorry I’m late!” A voice yelled as the door banged open

I looked up and a girl with green eyes and with light brown hair a little passed her shoulders, stood there looking flustered. She was pretty. She better watch out for Nick and Eric.

“And you are?” Mrs. Walker asked walking up to her

“Jordan Swift. The new student.” She panted, “I’m so sorry. I got lost. Nobody was in the hallway. It was a disaster.” She explained with wide eyes

I felt like laughing, she just looked so worried.

“It’s fine. Take a seat anywhere.” Mrs. Walker said before she started handing out papers again

Jordan scanned the class room and her eyes landed on me.

‘Please, don’t. PLEASE, don’t sit by me. Please, please, please, please!’

She skipped over to me, literally. She sat down beside me and turned so she was fully facing me.

“I’m Jordan. But you already knew that. What’s your name?” She smiled widely

“Eliana.” I said quietly

“That’s a pretty name! You’re my new best friend!” She exclaimed happily

I was about to speak when Nick decided too, “Oh, you don’t want to be her friend. You can be mine.” He smirked

“I’m good.” She frowned in disgust as she looked at him

I raised my brows in shock, the

Nick Stanton just got turned down. He looked just as shocked as everybody else did.

“What?” He asked

“I don’t want to be your friend.” She stated turning back to me

“What?” He asked again

She turned to him, “Let me get this through your thick jock head. I, Jordan Swift, do not want to be your friend. ‘Kay?” She said slowly

She turned back to me and I stared at her in shock.

“What?” She asked

I gaped at her, “You just…you just turned down Nick Stanton for…me?”

“Guess so.” She smiled

I stared at her like she was crazy, “Are you crazy?” I whispered looking around

“Um, not that I know of. Why?” She asked in confusion

“You just turned down Nick Stanton for the ugliest, poorest girl in school.” I stated without emotion

“Who’s the ugliest, poorest girl in school?” She asked

I pointed to myself, “She’s right here.”

“You’re not ugly.” She stated looking me up and down, she suddenly smirked, “You could turn me lesbian.”

“That’s why she turned me down.” I heard Nick sigh in relief, “She’s gay.”

“No I’m not. I just don’t like pig-headed, narcissistic man-whores.” She smiled sweetly

He gaped at her like everybody else. Wow! She’s got guts. I’ll give her that.

“Okay, that’s enough!” Mrs. Walker yelled smirking, “Start reading!”

Some people did what they were told while others looked between Jordan and Nick. I stared wide eyed at Jordan. She MUST have a death wish. All the sluts are gonna hate her now.

It was nice having one friend. Even if it was only for a couple minutes.

Jordan grabbed her backpack from the floor and pulled her text book out.

“What page?” She asked me

“327.” I muttered

She turned to the page and saw how many words there were.

“Damn!” She exclaimed loudly with wide eyes, she looked at me, “What the hell kinda school is this?”

I laughed then stopped abruptly as everybody turned to me and stared in shock. This is the first time I’ve laughed in school since forever.

I quickly looked down at my book and pretended to read. I’ve already read this chapter. It’s the result of not having a social life.

I sighed quietly and looked out the window. The day was beautiful and we were stuck in school. Life is cruel.

I felt eyes on me and I knew that some people were still gaping because I laughed. Big whoop! Calm the fuck down! Everybody laughs!

“Why are they staring at you?” Jordan asked in a whisper

I turned to her, “One: I’ve never had someone as a friend. Two: I laughed.”

“You laughed?” She repeated

I shrugged, “I don’t laugh.”

“Everybody laughs.” She insisted

“Not me.” I mutter throwing a glance at Nick

She followed my stare and narrowed her eyes.

“The douche makes your life miserable.” She stated

I nodded and looked down at the desk. I heard her sigh angrily, I looked up and she was glaring intensely at Nick.

It was a pretty funny sight. I chuckled quietly and once again, everybody turned to stare at me.

“Turn the fuck around.” Jordan growled while glaring at everybody

They quickly turned around and I laughed again but they didn’t turn around this time. Nick looked at me though.

I caught his brown eyes before looking away.

“Why doesn’t he like you?” Jordan asked quietly

“What’s to like?” I retorted

“Everything! All you need is a make over.” She smiled and looked deep in though

“No money. Schools almost out anyway. What’s it matter?” I shrugged

“Three weeks is not almost over. That’s almost a month!” She whisper yelled

“I have no money for a make over. So, I’m not getting one.” I said looking out the window

“I’ll get you one.” She said happily

My head snapped to her, “No. I don’t want your money or anything.”

“Would you do it for my birthday party?” She asked

“No.”

“C’mon! Please? It’ll be the best birthday ever. We can both get make over’s.” She whispered happily

“I’ll go to your birthday but I’m not getting a make over with your money.” I said

“It’ll be free though. My mom owns the shop ‘D’ elegance’ down the road.” She whispered

“Still.” I said lamely

“It wont
