Eli entered the common room and spotted his fire-red bestie talking to some guy, and a funny thing happened. His insides suddenly felt all twisted up, like being sick but also like all the air was gone from the room. It felt like he was... jealous?
Surely not! I mean, come on. It was just Ellie. Bestie Ellie. Why would he be jealous of Ellie talking to some pipsqueak kid?
Nevertheless, the squirmy feeling inside remained. Eli decided the best way to combat it was to spot their little
tete-a-tete. Which was French for 'super private conversation that Ellie shouldn't be having with anybody but Eli Jarod', of course. He had read it in a book.
He caaasually walked over to Ellie and That Guy.
"Hi there, Els. What's up?" Els? What the 'Els' was THAT about? He'd never nicknamed her in their lives. Still... he kind of liked it. It marked her as familiar to him, as
belonging to him. Back off, That Guy. This bestie was already spoken for. He gave the boy a cursory nod, meant to nonchalantly acknowledge his existence without being inviting or inclusive.
My Ellie. Mine.
