Cole sat in the common room, bag full of chips in one hand, the remote in the other. Once again, 231 channels, and nothing on.
"Wrestling, no. Loony Tunes......No. Bruce Almighty? What is this, a marathon?"
He sat the control down, watching Jim Carrey's bizarre sense of humor drill itself into his brain again. Hoping Kevin would get back soon, to give him somebody to pick on.

Ellen came flying out of her room, "I'm so late it's not funny, Iris is gonna kill me!" she said this was a usual panic out of her everyday. But today she had on a skirt and a nice shirt and a little bit of make-up on, her hair had been curled, and no glasses, and sexy little red high-heels. Well, what someone could see of her as she rushed out the door not even noticing Cole.

"Hi Ellen," He yelled, going unheard as she appeared.
"Bye, Ellen," he sighed, as she disappeared through the door, once again in too much of a hurry to take notice of his attempts to make their relationship square.
Kevin waltzed into the room just as the front door slammed, "Hey, Bumble," he said, "Ellen stil ignoring you?"
"Yeah," he said, "But she also might be too busy to notice me, or possibly, and likely, I'm to great for her to acknowledge."
"Keep dreaming, My lad," Kevin said, heading for the door, "Need anything?"
Cole didn't answer, because he knew Kevin was already gone. His questions only served to make Cole angry when the door slammed at his response, se he just whispered under his breath, "Yeah, five minutes with Ellen..."

"Shit forgot my purse," Ellen said running back through the door, only to trip on her high heels and go flying to the floor.

Cole heard the door burst open, and jumped from the seat, startled. He saw Ellen go down, and was by her side in less than a second, "Hey, you alright? That was a nasty spill!"
He helped her up, trying to avoid eye contact. It got him in trouble the last time.

"Thanks, I'm just not us to wearing heels," she said also avoiding eye contact, but failed misterably and as the concern on his face, and practically melted inside. But quickly toughed up and stood up, "Not like something physical like that could hurt me."

"No," he smiled, still watching the floor, "Of course not." He dusted her arm off, and felt himself blush a bit, "You.. still in a hurry?"
He headed back to the couch, still trying not to look at her, "You always seem to be running everywhere."

"Most of the time, I've developed the bad habit of waiting until the last minute to do what I have to do," Ellen said, quickly getting her purse and coming back into the common area and leaning against the back of the couch, "So, they're playing Bruce Almighty again?" she asked.

Cole beamed inside, she's talking to me!
"Yeah, it never ends, this madness they call Bruce Almighty... Hey, I got something for you, if you have a minute."
He was still careful to avoid direct eye contact, as he stood up, and grabbed a small box from the hallway shelf, where he placed it earlier.

"Suddenly I have the feeling I should go running out of the room," Ellen said sitting up and crossing her arms over her low-cut shirt and raising an eyebrow as she looked at Cole.

"Whoa no, it won't explode, or shock you, or spray you with water, I promise."
He opened the box, and removed its contents: a shiny new watch, silver-plated, and pricy-looking.
"I hate it when I get places late. I got you this cause it has a reminder timer. I figured you might be able to find some kinda use for it."
he handed it to her, and awaited a reaction, visibly tense.

Ellen looked at the watch and then looked away as she shoved the watch back into Cole's hands, "Please stop," she said quietly, "Quit being nice, just quit, I can't go through this again," she said before rushing out of the room to covering the tears in her eyes.

"Ellen, wait," he yelled, as the door closed behind her.
He looked at the watch, and almost screamed in depressed anger, "I just wanted to apoligize for the other night," he whispered. The watch ticked on, every time it did Cole became closer to following her.
But he didn't. Instead, he took the watch, and threw it at the wall, walking away before it shattered into a thousand shards of glass and cog-work.
He grabbed his jacket, climbed the staircase, and exited the dorm via the balcony, and climbed up to the roof, and sat in quiet frustration.

Ellen actually returned to the common room ten minutes later, she hadn't been able to find Iris. And found it was pointless to go out without her. When she walked in is notices something glittery on the floor and walked closer to inspect it as saw the remains of the watch. She picked it up and sighed and made her way to the roof, not knowing that Cole was there, but because she needed some fresh air.
When she got to the roof she stopped when she saw Cole and was tempted to run back downstairs but stopped herself, took off her highheels and walked up behind him. "It was a nice watch," she said looking down at him the wind blowing her hair a skirt this way and that.

Cole didn't even turn to look at her, "Yeah, I could tell."
He kept looking out at the grounds and the students moving around from class to class, doing what they did to pass the days.
"I know I've been kind of an asshole. I'm sorry I'm like that. I just wanted to let you know I was sorry after that first night in your room. I just didn't know how to go about telling you when you ignored my note."

"What note?" Ellen asked sitting beside Cole and looking up at the sky, "And I don't think your an asshole, a smart ass sometimes, but not an asshole."

Cole smiled, "Well hell, I'm a smart ass by nature, Ellen. But I left you a note that night, I wanted to buy you breakfast, and try and apoligize. I left it under your door, cause I didn't want to mess with you again."

"So that's what Aku had torn up," Ellen said with a sigh and looked at Cole humor in her eyes, "That morning I woke up late and didn't see your note, and when I got back home Aku had ripped up some paper, which must have been your note. I was ignoring you, Cole, it just everytime we've seen each other I've been to busy to talk."

Cole smiled, "Well, that makes me feel a bit better. But I just wish I could make it up to you somehow." He turned to face her, wothout moving from his seat, "How come you went storming out of the room when I gave you the watch?"

Ellen shook her head, "I often act oblivious Cole, but I see the way you look at me, when you talk to me you get a different tone to your voice. And maybe I do the same things, but I've been in a lot of bad relationships, and I don't want to go through it again."
