Dreams and Reality- Aqua's Version by Tammy (e reader pdf best .TXT) 📕

wasn’t true and knee-high jean capris.
“Not bad actually.” I said, surprised she didn’t have sweat pants or something else putrid. When I walked down stairs I saw Elle eating cereal, so I followed her example and made a bowl of frosted flakes, another one of my little expertise.
“So, are you going to school today?” I asked eyeing her suspiciously, knowing her she wouldn’t unless Rye told her to.
“Yup, Rye’s making me.” She said between mouthfuls of cereal.
“Well, you’ll be fine.” I told her, and she nodded her agreement. We finished breakfast in silence, and then put on our shoes, she put on her black flats and I put on my red pumps, I felt like doing something I didn’t do often, probably because I was all lovey-dovey because of Jake.
“So Jake went gay?” She asked, smiling.
“Yeah.” I said my smile growing ten times, and then I saw her frown.
“I forgot to do any of the work.” She groaned.
“Well, lucky for you I paid someone to do it in case you forgot to. Well, I guess technically you paid for it.” I said staring to drift into space. She gave me the money, but that was a long time ago, huh I wonder if I paid for it or she did in a way. I wonder what Jake’s doing.
“Thanks, you’re a life saver.” She said as I pulled her complete work from my bag. Then we got on the bus, and when Jake got on he sat by me, probably because he knows that my friends will compliment him if he sits next to me.
“Wow, Jake your hair is so cute.” Jenna said.
“I love your outfit Aqua, and Jake I love your shirt.” Brooke told us. Jake was wearing a plaid button up, and some guy shorts. The rest of the bus ride was people complimenting us on our outfits, hair, and so on. When we got to school, I noticed James talking to Elle. Oh no, he likes her, she has to stay away from him, he’s a jerk. He is out of line to; I don’t know what I ever saw in him.
I walked over and grabbed her by the arm, “Come on Elle, you owe me right? So come with me now.” I said quietly but seriously.
“Oh, ok, later James.” She said waving as I dragged her from him.
“Why are you talking to him?!” I demanded, stamping my foot.
“I didn’t, he came up to me. Any ways, why don’t you want me talking to him? Wait I know because you lost your.” I cut her off, putting my hand on her mouth, I didn’t want the whole school to know, only a few of my friends knew and I didn’t want it getting out everywhere.
“Sh. Keep your voice down, I don’t want people to know.” I whispered, looking at my approaching friends, Jake was with them. She rolled her eyes, but then smiled to, seeing Jake hanging out with me must have made her happy.
“Hey Jake, I heard you turned gay last night.” Elle said, and we laughed, but no one else knew what we were talking about.
“Well yeah. I would have said it sooner but…” He drifted off leaving Elle to her own conclusions. Then Sapphire walked up, a huge smug grin on her face, crap.
“Hey Aqua, so you are going to help with the dance? Because I told people you were and I don’t want to lie.” She said emphasizing the word, and staring at Elle with a blank sort of glare. Elle took a deep breath and let it out loudly heaving her shoulders up, then down while she did it, I gave her a keep it cool look, I didn’t want to have to deal with another fight.
“Well yeah, I mean it sounds cool. Everyone else is to right?” I said and all the girls nodded.
“Oh, hey Brooke do you know Matt?” Elle said, and I smiled, she was planning on something with those two, and I think I know what it is.
“What does that have to do with anything?” Sapphire said bitterly, but Brooke ignored her.
“Well yeah I know him, I mean why?” She asked nervously rambling, she was afraid that if Elle knew, then a bunch of people knew.
“Well because I heard from a little bird that he might possibly like you.” She said torturing her, smiling as her eyes got big.
“Elle, details please!” She shrieked. I laughed, getting the attention shifted to me like always, but this time it was an accident.
“Well Brooke, why don’t you give her a chance to get them first. I mean, she only became friends with him yesterday.” I said, not meaning to say it, and just trying to get them to back off, I didn’t want any of those guys near me until I knew that they thought I was pretty, even though they saw me without makeup.
“Oh, then you should be careful around Elle now Brooke.” Sapphire said glaring at Elle. Oh great, thanks a lot Sapphire, hopefully she doesn’t carry this out.
“What are you talking about Sapphire?” Brooke said, still oblivious as to why Sapphire hated Elle, we should really tell her, she is so out of this loop I feel bad.
“Well if you’re mean to her she’ll steal your boyfriend, and it’s that much easier when they’re already friends. She’s a slut naturally, but if she’s not his friend at least it’s a challenge. But now you won’t stand a chance.” She said and Elle glared at her. I wonder where this is going, hopefully Elle can keep calm, she has been a lot less angry since Rye got here, maybe he’s tamed her anger.
“Shut up, Sapphire.” Brooke defended her. “That’s enough, ok, enough.” She said glaring at Sapphire. Stupid Sapphire, trying to get revenge, she’s going to lose; this is such a stupid, kind of petty fight. Sapphire isn’t going to listen to Brooke though, if she continues, I’ll step in.
“Easy for you to say, you weren’t the one.” Sapphire said, before I interjected.
“Enough Sapphire.” I said, mean and serious for a moment, settling the fight. I was their queen bee, and if Sapphire doesn’t listen, she knows she will have to pay for it. I didn’t want to fight with her later so I said, “We can’t have this constant fighting when we’ve got a dance to plan,” instantaneously turning back into my normal self.
“So, does that mean you’re helping Elle?” Brooke asked looking at Elle with a begging smile.
“Oh, I don’t know. I’m not really a dance girl.” She said, trying to worm her way out, but it was too late Brooke had her pinned, which meant if I jumped in she had to.
“Well, you have to help, because we need Rye to help because the only other guy helping is Jake.” I piped in; it was the truth besides we really needed his connections.
“How do you know Rye will be back before the dance?” She asked.
“Well I don’t, but if he is.” I started but I was soon cut off by Brooke.
“Oh yeah, where is Rye anyway?” She asked innocently.
“He’s at the hospital.” Elle said being as vague as possible.
“What did you do now?” Sapphire asked, snottily speaking for the first time since being silenced by me.
“I let him stay over to late, and he got hit by a car.” Elle said, starting in a big voice, but when she was finished speaking she was at a whisper. I feel like I should help comfort her, but she won’t admit that it wasn’t her fault.
“Nice.” Sapphire said with a smirk. I wish she would shut up.
“Is he okay?” Brooke asked a little pale from shock.
“Well he says he is, but I don’t know.” She said, it is true, every guy tries to say he‘s fine whether he is or not.
“Why does he like you? Or wait, did you stay home yesterday because he dumped you and you were crying all day.” Sapphire said bitterly, and everyone was silent as Elle took a deep breath, we kind of all knew that something like this would happen soon, but we hoped that Elle could keep her cool, I was confident that she could, she hadn‘t yet. “Or maybe you’ve convinced him it was his own fault, or maybe you’re blackmailing him. Yeah that’s it, I mean that’s the only reason someone would ever be with you.” She said sneering, but Elle just half smiled, and shook her head a little.
“Look, I’m going to be honest with you. You had a reason to be angry, but after a while it just gets old. I’ll answer your questions though. I don’t know why Rye like’s me. We did get in a fight. So I dumped him, and got dragged back by one of his friends to make up with him. I was crying basically all day though. Actually, I believed it was my fault and was prepared to face the consequences of what happened, but he convinced me it wasn’t just me. He mainly blames himself, and the driver. I am tired of fighting aren’t you? I’m not going to waste my whole life planning revenge against someone. I’m tired of being looked at like I’m something to pity, okay? If you want to keep trying to fight me go ahead, but I’m letting you know from here on out I’m not sinking to your level. And this is proof because if I would’ve sunk to your level, I would have decked you just now. By the way, if you don’t forgive me you should forgive Ian.” Elle said, I’m so proud of her; she can finally keep her cool. Sapphire turned pink and I knew that it meant she was defeated, finally, maybe now she will get it through her thick skull that she can’t beat Elle, if she fights back.
“Wow Elle, I’m proud of you.” Ian said appearing out of nowhere, and as a natural response I saw Elle hunch her shoulders close to her. He laughed gently, “Relax guys.” He said smiling towards all of us.
“Hey Ian.” Everyone said, even Sapphire whispered it, but she was too shocked that he would be so close to her that she couldn’t speak at her full volume.
“Hi Brooke, Aqua, Elle, Jake,” He said normally. “Sapphire and I don’t know the rest of you that well, so, sorry.” He said Sapphire’s name quietly, but I know that we could all hear it. He looked at Sapphire lovingly, but she was still in a lot of shock, partially from Elle and the rest that he even went further as to say her name. He just smiled at the rest of us. Some of the girls were shocked that Ian came up to Elle so casually, but I knew they were friends. He must have forgiven her for whatever it was he overreacted to in the hospital.
“So then you’re over it?” She asked him looking up at his tan face, which was looking at Sapphire.
“Hmm, well yes of course kiddo.” He said looking at Elle with a smile, he was still thinking about Sapphire though, probably judging when she would forgive him, or if he had to apologize first. I’m agitated now, I need to work on the dance and I do not want a bunch of lovey-dovey hugs and kisses, and apologies going around on my day.
“Anyways, can we focus on the dance now?” I said, a little agitated.
“Oh, yes your majesty, I’ll just be going then.” He said looking at me; he is going to pay for that one later. “See you later.” He said looking at Sapphire in a questioning way, but she made
