#29 Mick - Trouble in paradise

NARRATOR POV.: Madison and Mick have been close friends for years. Together they experienced everything, ups and downs, laughed together and cried together as well. Their close friendship enjoyed many, especially their best friends, but it also aroused a lot of envy. One of the people who did not like this relationship were James Brown and Anita Martin, the other halfes of the friends. At some point, however, this jealousy intensified so much that no matter where these couples did not appear, you could feel an enormous pressure in the air, almost touchable. Until one day all four were fed up with it....
-Only Maddie, Mad, it's about Maddie again! I'm fed up with this, you understand Mick!?- Anita shouted at her boyfriend, ignoring the fact that they are standing in the school corridor, among the crowd of students and they attract quite a lot of attention...
-Could you not scream?! We are at school..!- Schumacher sighed heavily, bored and tired of the girl's constant jealousy. He thought that she trusted him, but as you can see, she doesn't... Because of it all, he started to wonder if he even felt anything for her anymore, since they keep arguing so much and she makes so many scenes of jealousy...?! He spends much better time with Madison...
-I don't give a shit!
-And you should! Don't make a scene again!
-How again!? You're the one who brushes it off every time I start the topic!
-Because you have nothing to be angry about! Maddie is just a friend! How many times do I have to tell you this?!- Mick was also slowly losing his patience.
-And I'm supposed to believe it? You constantly spend time with her or talk about her! Because Maddie did this, and recently Maddie and I had so much fun watching action movie, because Maddie...! More and more often I have the feeling that you would rather be with her and not with me!
-She certainly wouldn't make me such sick and exaggerated scenes of jealousy! She would trust me!
-And I'm not?!- Anita angrily fisted her hands and placed them on her hips.
-Recently I'm beginning to think that no...- he replied a little calmer, remembering that they are standing in the middle of the corridor.
-Then go to her, since she is so wonderful! Just don't think that we'll be together afterwards, if you get back!
-And you know what?! I will go! At least she won't make a fuss about every nonsense!- Mick grovled, picked up his backpack and walked across the hall without even looking back.
-Do not think that I will miss you!- he heard her yell behind his back, to which he only rolled his eyes, not commenting on it at all. Maddie's brunette high ponytail was easy to spot. She was standing with Anna-Lena, Andrew and Ryan by the lockers next to the History class and were laughing at something. Already across the corridor, their eyes met, making them both smile. Schumacher approached his friends without hesitation, threw his bag next to Ryan's backpack and stood next to his friends so that he was leaning with his outstretched hand against the lockers against which Maddison was leaning with her shoulder.
-Hi Mick- everyone smiled at him.
-Hey- he replied, gesturing back.
-We heard an argument, I'm sorry...- Madison said, looking up at him.
-It's nothing. We had a harder time anyways... And honestly, as I'm thinking now, this break-up was a matter of time- he replied truthfully, looking deeply into the brunette's eyes. It seemed to him that he saw only her, no one else, and his heart was beating about 4 times faster than normal. He had a soft spot for her and everyone knew it.
-It's still a shame. Have you been together for what... 3 years?
-4- Mick corrected her automatically -From 2nd junior high.
-It's a long time...- commented Ryan, and involuntarily strenghtened the grip on Anna-Lena's waist. He and Rochester have only been together for half a year, because earlier they did not want to admit that they felt something more for each other, in fact, they had other second halves in the first grade, in the persons of David Johnson and Irene Wright. Nevertheless, since they are together they radiate happiness and are inseparable, a bit like lovebirds.
-A bit yeah...- Mick sighed thoughtfully and added -But what happened, happened and we won't cry after that! Let's not talk about it anymore!- he finished the topic, which his friends were relieved to see, and focused on something else, namely the upcoming revision before a rather difficult math test.
-Mick...?- Maddie asked blonde boy one point, looking up at him again.
-Yeah, what's up?
-No matter what would happen, you remember that you have me, right?- she was clearly distressed, which made a slight smile appear on the boy's face.
-I know Maddie, I know. You have me, and I have you- he replied, then placed a kiss on her temple. Apparently it was nothing, but both of their hearts "jumped" at this gesture. For some time now they had the feeling that their friendship had changed, but they weren't quite sure why. Others of their "group" of friends noticed this too, but did not ask nor commented it. They decided to wait for the "final effect" of these events...
After that, the day was running along it's usual track. Friends went to all the classes, where Madison and Mick always sat together on their school desk, or Natalie or Anna-Lena joined Carter, and Andrew or Ryan joined Mick. Mostly, however, Maddie and Mick stayed together all the time and had a great time. They were whispering to each other and laughing all the time. Even Maddie occasionally "hit" Mick lightly on the shoulder, in a separate gesture. You could see for a kilometer that they felt well and at ease in each other's company, and one of such signs was the fact that Madison did not mind at all that Mick either put his arm around her or involuntarily put his hand on her chair. He even got a slight smile for it! What they did not know was that these innocent "games" could cause another fuss a little....
