The Unbelievable Truth - Tomco

Chapter 7

Tom's POV:
I've been up all night thinking about what happened. Marco and I are soul bonds. Our souls are literally bonded for all of eternity! That's- that shouldn't have happened. I mean, I guess yeah I may like him.. but a little bit! Just a little smudge of likeness.! Still, he hates me and it shouldn't have happened. He's not even going to live for as long as I am..

I put my hands on my face and groaned with anger and sadness. What am I even supposed to do about this? Maybe I can just ignore it. Yeah. It's probably for the best too. Marco doesn't like me at ALL so it would be best just to keep it quiet and pretend that nothing happened. I'm still disappointed and a bit mad that he just ruined my night with Star. That was possibly my only chance in getting my relationship with Star back. At least I didn't mess anything up. I could have another opportunity to take her somewhere.? Hopefully.

I took a deep breath. Who am I kidding? Star's not going to go out with me. No matter how much I wish for her to. Yeah I can be pretty confident about things but this? I've already messed up before and she's clearly been showing that she doesn't like me. I just won't take the hint. I really wish she still loved me like she did before. I'm such a screwup!

I angrily grabbed my hair with both hands. I sadly looked down. I love her, so much. Words can't even begin to describe. I would do anything for her. Maybe I should just leave her alone and focus on other things.

Marco's POV:
I still can't believe what happened last night. I mean, I danced with Tom! With Tom! The person I hate! The worst part is that I may have liked dancing with him. I shouldn't have liked it! Tom is the worst person I've ever met! I've had hatred for him the second I met him. Why did I feel that way? Ugh, this is just too confusing.

I groaned out of frustration and looked down. I was currently sitting at the edge, in the middle, of my bed with my hands together. Just think of something else.

. . .

Oh, right! My date with Jackie! It's Thursday! Only 2 more days until Saturday. Im so excited! I'm going on a date with the girl I've always liked. The girl of my dreams. I hope everything runs smoothly and that Jackie ends up wanting to be in a relationship. It certainly would be one of the best days of my life!

I can't even explain myself how I feel about Jackie. Everything about her is perfect to me. I'm willing to do anything that she wants to do together. Sure I'll be a wuss at first but I'd be willing to try it, just for her. I've liked her for as long as I can remember. I really hope everything works out.

"Marco! Hurry up! We're going to miss the bus," Star yelled from down the stairs.

"I'm coming!"

I quickly made myself downstairs and we both headed outside. We got on the bus as fast we could and went to our usual seats. Star was busy looking at everything outside the window excitedly even though we've been doing this everyday which means she's should've seen everything by now. It's all just the same old thing. I don't get Star sometimes but I still love her and her spirit. She's the best friend anyone could ever ask for. Well, we might have our differences at times but still.

Tom.

Ugh! No! I'm not trying to remember! I'm trying to keep myself distracted. I've been betrayed by my own thoughts. Though, that look that Tom kept looking at me with... he seemed, in love. No that couldn't have been it. I think it was just the scenery of the ball that caused him to look in such a way. Yeah. That had to have been it. Especially since I also.. um, may have enjoyed it just a little bit. It was most likely just the scenery and how everything was taking place like I said! I obviously wouldn't have actually enjoyed it. It's Tom we're talking about!
