Ellie was such a beautiful girl. Funny and strong, resilient and kind. How could anyone not eventually fall for her? You did. You've liked her since she arrived at Jackson four years ago. You wanted to tell her how you felt, yet for some reason, there always seemed to be someone else who got to her first. Like Cat, but that relationship didn't last long. Now, just as you thought you had a chance, cheeks already red as you went to the Winter Dance, eyes searching for her. You were elated, nervous, but determined. Until that determination was crushed. There she was, smiling and dancing with... Dina. Of course. You should've seen it coming. How foolish of you. To think you could confess. You left. It's spring now, and since then, you haven't been acting the same. But Ellie seems too blind to notice.

"What do you mean you can't hang out?" She questioned as she stood in front of you at your door, inviting you to come with her, Dina, and Jesse to go hunting. You've been so distant lately, yet she didn't have a clue, "What, you too busy for us now? Got some secret lover?" She joked, but her laughter quickly died down when she noticed you weren't laughing with her.
