"She was still in love with you, you know?"
"She wasn't, if she was, why would she agree to break up? People in love don't do that Delilah! It doesn't work that way."
She stared at the phone, pressed against her palm before facing him again.
"Doe...
"Morning Dinah, morning Mike." Marianna walked into the Joyner home at 8 o'clock on a wednesday morning. "Morning Marianna." They both replied as Dinah stood up (probably to call her daughter downstairs.) Elena jogged down the stairs clad in sportswear. "Let's go, we gotta leave if we still wanna change and get to school in time." Mari nodded. As they were leaving, Marianna noticed something. "Where's Owen?" Elena raised an eyebrow as Dinah answered "Already left for school." She nodded once again and signed to Elena that they should go.
"Jesus. Tell me why I agreed to doing this again?" The moment the younger girl had asked her to go for a run before they had to go to school, Marianna regretted even picking up her phone. Her atlethic abilities weren't totally non - existent, but as a dancer (and someone who despites going for a run), it sure as hell wasn't her most favorite thing to do. Let alone this early in the morning. Elena just chuckled. "Oh piss off will you? We've been going for an hour. " She got an eyeroll in return. "Yeah. Just so you know, i'm never doing that again."
As they arrived at her house, Marianna waved at her friend and walked inside. The girl showered and changed as fast as she could while blasting music through the whole house (and ofcourse the occasional karaoke / dance routine break - who was she kidding.) She was finally ready to go and walked to the couch and was planning on watching tv for a while before her friend came to pick her up. This didn't happen though.
So much for dancing to one direction.
Finally arriving at school, the blonde and brunette went their separate ways. She waved at Sophia and went to sit down next to the girl while grabbing her French textbooks out of her bag. Soph was telling her a story and as she was about to reply, their teacher, mrs Kingsley, started talking. "Bonjour la classe." Everyone just mumbled a bonjour or simply hello back as the older lady started telling about grammar.
"Mari? Pssstt ... Maria.. Marianna." Emily Garcia, a friend and classmate tapped her on her back as she was doing her work. " Hm? " she turned around to face the small girl. "Do you know the answer to question 8?" She smiled. "Yeah, hold on." Marianna was about to tell Emily what she wrote down, when their teacher rudely interrupted the silence. "Marianna Smith and Emily Garcia, want to share the conversation with the class?" The girls looked at eachother. "Sorry miss I-" Emily started to apologize but got interrupted once again. "In French." The small, blond girl started to panic and looked at the other with big eyes. Marianna just turned around, smiled at the teacher and continued to say: "Excusez- moi madame. Je ne pas parle couramment de Français.And neither does Emily. Right Em?" She nodded. "So we sadly can't make that happen. Mrs Kingsley sighed and let them of the hook.
Well that was easy.
