Jordan wondered what exactly she meant by they knew exactly where he stood. He wanted to ask but they were already moving briskly down the hall leaving Jordan to clutch Ellie’s sweater tightly with his hands as he sat atop her shoulder. Large strands of blonde hair would continually drape down over him as she continued to walk down the hall.
It was surreal being on Ellie’s shoulder like this. It was different from Sara’s. He didn’t realize it until now but Sara moved in such a way that he was more protected and his ride was smooth. As Ellie walked down the hall he was bounced up and down on her shoulder. It felt similar to horseback riding.
“So, what class do you have? Where are we going?” Jordan asked trying to break the silence.
“Oh, it’s not far now,” Ellie said as she paused stopping by a locker with a group of giant teenage boys around it.
“Hey Trace,” Ellie said in a flirtatious tone as she approached the boys.
“Ellie! I’m right here stop this.” Jordan quietly said into her ear as she stopped in front of the lockers.
“Elllliee, heeeyy” the boy said as he stepped out from his group of boys. The giant teen draped his arm around Ellie pulling her close to him. The jolt was nearly enough to jar him loose.
“Trraacceee” Ellie said in a much sweeter tone than he had heard her use before. “You need to be careful I have a little friend with me,” Ellie said pointing at Jordan.
“Oh, sorry little dude, I didn’t even see you there.” The boy said but Jordan noticed he didn’t release the grip he had on Ellie either. A part of Jordan wanted to jump off Ellie’s shoulder and just wait for the splat against the tiled hallway floor. The idea of being trapped on her shoulder like this as she flirted with this guy was too much.
“It’s fine. No harm, no foul.” Jordan said not wanting to make waves. He hadn’t been this close to a guy but the difference in physical power was not lost him. It was a bit terrifying that Ellie and Sara were enough to completely overpower him with ease and here was a teenage boy able to completely do the same to them.
“So maybe we hook up tonight? My parents both work late and I promise to keep my little sister away this time.” Trace said as he leaned to give Ellie a quick kiss on the cheek but she expertly turned and shifted out his grip.
“Oh, I don’t know. I will have to see how Jordan here feels about that. Text me though.” Ellie said in the same sweet and flirty tone she had been using with him. She then turned around and continued walking down the hallway. Jordan looked back to see Trace checking her out from behind.
“Ellie! What was that all about and what do you mean check with me? He’s hundreds of times my size.” Jordan said frantically as he peeked back behind him.
