"I have homework."I tell Marcus and he closes my laptop.

"Nope."He says.

"Yes,Mr.Gitten is an asshole and it's only our first day so I have to do it."I say and start writing my essay.

"Can I help you?"Marcus asks.

"Try writing something,I'll take the weed from Maxine's bedroom,it will give us more inspiration."I laugh and leave.

"Ginny,hey."I say and talk toward her.

"Max invited me so please leave me alone."She says but I don't reply,instead I leaned in closer to her and my hand went behind her back,taking the weed.She looked so stressed and embarassed.

"Make yourself home."I smile and leave the room.

"Got it?"Marcus ask and I throw the clear bag at him.

"Ginny's weird,she acted like I was going to kiss her."I laugh.

"Or you wanted her to think you are going to kiss her?"He laughs.

"Maybe."I reply and look at what Marcus wrote.

"That's actually good."I say.

"You'll have to help me with my motorcycle."He says and I nod.

~~~

"I'll wait for you outside ."He says and leaves.I already finished my essay and I had to grab some soda for me and Marus.On my way to the kitchen I saw Ginny leaving,but she just glanced at me with an annoyed look.

"Why are you still here?"Max asks.

"I'm hanging out with Marcus today."I say and she rolls her eyes.

"Did Ginny leave already?"She asks me.

"Yeah, a few minutes ago."I say and she scoffs.

I grab the sodas and leave the house.Ginny was on the motorcycle and I looked at Marcus' weird expression.

"Vas Happenin?!"I quote Zayn Malik and laugh.

"Nothing,Virginia was just leaving."He says and Ginny leaves.

"I'll give it a ride."I tell Marcus and get on the bike.

"Go on."He smiles and I ride around the driveway.

"Didn't know you could do that."Marcus laughs nervously.

"Are you okay?You seem a bit off."I say and sit on the pavement next to him.

"Yeah,it's nothing."He says.

"You know you can tell me,right?"I ask him.

"You sound like a mom."He laughs.

"Shut up.I'll see you tomorrow."I say and hug him tightly.

"See ya."He says and I wallk to my house.

I was in my room for the first time after some weeks.I never spend time here.My room was spotless so I quickly found a box,I put photos in it and the first photo that I saw was one with my parents.My mom had blond hair,just like mine and my dad was also blonde but a darker tone.I wiped my tears quickly and put it away,then I saw photos of me and Marcus.He's so special to me.I walk to my window and I then saw Marcus walk towards his house.Why the hell was he on at Ginny's house?Probably Max asked him or whatever.

The next day,Marcus was acting a little weird,but I didn't ask about it.

"Hey,Blair,right?There's something you should know."Ginny says as I was talking to Marcus.

"Yeah."

"We should get to class."Marcus says.

"You have something in your hair.Got it."She says and I smile sweetly.

"Thanks."I say and she does the same salute Marcus and I do,walking away.

"Umm,okay.Let's get to class."I say and close my locker.
