Chapter 22

Marella's pov

Summer is over. And it's the first day for me at Sunnyvale High. I'm not really looking forward to it but i also kinda am. It's just very confusing. Everything happened so extremely fast. Camp, getting together with Nick, the massacre, moving in with him. I wonder if it was too much. If it still is. I don't know if i've coped right. Maybe i'll struggle with it when i'm older. Maybe i'm just pushing it away. Ziggy is struggling, alot. And it sucks that i can't be there for her to comfort her. Her sister died and now her mom started drinking even more. I miss her so much, now that school's starting we won't be able to see each other that much. I call her everyday tho, always checking in on her. She always sounds tired but never bored or annoyed. I hope my calls kinda cheer her up, i try to.

I sigh and get out of bed, pushing Nick's arm of me. Kathleen eventually just accepted that my room isn't going to be used that much. "It's 6:30 do you really have to get up this early in the morning?" Nick groaned and i chuckled. "We have school at eight, i just wanna make sure i'm not late. You should too" i throw a pillow on his face in attempt to wake him up but he just grabs the pillow and hugs. I shake my head and walk to the bathroom to take a shower. I still don't really know what to wear. Should i try to fit in or should i just be myself? Nick told me to be myself but that's easy for him to say. He would still get praised for wearing the ugliest clothes ever cause he's Nick Goode. I would get hated on for wearing something everyone else wears cause i'm the new girl from Shadyside.

Which is the reason i just sticked to myself. Those people who would make fun of me, would've made fun of me if i wore something else. They just do it to hurt you, it doesn't matter what they say exactly. It wasn't really that hot outside so i went with straight jeans and some random t-shirt. Still something everyone else wear but atleast i chose it because i liked it and not someone else i guess. I don't know why i'm freaking out this much. It's just a different school. I'm gonna be fine. And i have Nick so what could go wrong. Kurt also failed his exams this year so he's still in school, so i have another friend around. I would like to make friends with other girls tho, i'm don't want to be around Nick all the time. That's embarrassing.

I went downstairs to make breakfast to find Nick already making food. He looks up at me and smiles. "That shirt looks really good on you" he compliments me making me blush and smile. "Thank you Nick" i said and walked past him to the sink. "Are you blushing?" he smirked as he turned towards me. "No" i lied and he chuckled. "You're so cute" he said as he grabbed me by my waist and pulled me towards him. "Nick let me go" i laughed and he just held my waist tighter. "Nick!" i laughed and tried to get out of his grip. He smirked down at me and kissed me. I kissed back and pushed him away.

"Just finish making breakfast" i laughed and walked back to the sink to grab a glass of water. Nick walked over to me and put his head on my shoulder, placing his hands on both sides of my hips on the counter. "You're so clingy" i chuckled and took a sip of my water. "I don't care" he said and kissed my neck. "Nick please we need to have something to eat" i said and i drank the rest of my water. "I'd rather eat you for breakfast" he whispered and i choked on my water. I started coughing and he backed up and continued making breakfast. I slapped him on his shoulder and he laughed.

"Was that really necessary?" i coughed and he nodded. "Yes, your reaction was perfect. Not the one i hoped for but you know, this was great as well" he chuckled and i finally stopped choking. "What did you hope for?" i asked, even though i probably already know the answer. "That we would just skip school and lay in bed and do nothing but each other all day" he smiled dreamily and i rolled my eyes.

"Why do you think about sex 24/7?" "I don't think about it that much" "Mhm sure, but you know i only need one point more to win" i smirked. "So do i" he said at the same tone. "Oh yeah shit" Nick and i both have 9 points now. Let's just say it was a fun summer. Nick gave me a look and i immediately shook my head. "Nick no, we have to leave in like 40 minutes" i protested and he whined. "Oh come onnnn, it's only the first day" he complained and i rolled my eyes. "I think you're forgetting that this is litteraly my first day ever at your stupid school" "My school isn't stupid" "The students certainly are"
