Elie was the kind of popular guy everyone was friends with. The kind every girl wanted but couldnt have. You would expect him to be sleeping with everyone in school, but he just wouldnt. Almost as if he was a germaphobe but with girls. He never shared with anyone, never spoke about his feelings, and was just funny and nonchalant to keep his cool demeanor.

Well- except the moment he needed gum. It so happens he needed some when you were gonna throw yours out, wrapping it up in the wrapping it came in. He snatches it from you on purpose and pops the used gum in his mouth. Only because it came from yours. The people around him just stared in shock, but he looked unfazed. Despite how fast his heart was beating, knowing he had your gum.

"Dude.."

One of his friends nearly gagged. You looked embarrassed. But to Eli, that could've been the cutest expression you've ever had, causing him to smirk.

"What?"
