It Could Still Be Love

Chapter 9: You call that a fucking apology

This is just a continuation of chapter 7 btw

Marky pov

"Hey Marky, can I talk to you in the hallway for a minute" Cade said from my right.

I looked over at them and just kinda stared like who would actually expect that after what they said to me after trying to help them that I would just happily walk out with them and have a nice peaceful talk ... but I guess I was at fault as well, it still pisses me off it's not like I'm a bad person 

... 

Right?

"Sure I guess, but what exactly are we going to be talking about" I say starting to pack up what little stuff I had and looked over to see Smalls who was just kinda looking back and forth between me and Cade I have no idea what that was about but it didn't really matter.

"Really Mark, I know your not that dumb" Cade spun on their heels knocking his glasses on the floor and walked away with a little waving motion not bothering to pick them up for some reason.

"No need to be an asshole," I said under my breath, "Alright guys if I don't come back in like 10 to 15 minutes you guys come and find my dead body yeah." I said throwing my backpack over my shoulder and falling out of balance a little bit because of the weight.

Damn it school there is no need to have us carry this much bullshit with us daily and not even use it 

Everyone did a collective nod in silence then looking each other in the eye for a minute then back to me "I'm going to ignore how suspicious that was and just go after Cade," I crouch down grab the glasses off the floor and walking after him.

Well it was more of a jog this cafeteria is large as hell for some odd reason I finally got to the door after a bit of jogging and there they were holding on to the wall, I tapped her shoulder and offered the glasses back to him.

"Oh thanks," They put them on, "Right so if you really aren't an idiot I assume you know what I'm here to do" As they once again adjusted his glasses

Besides be a dick apparently

"Yeah, let me guess you want an apology, but I already gave you one and you-"

"No," Cade cut me off "I came here to ask you two things and apologize myself" They leaned on a locker looking away from me

"Oh ... well that's unexpected But I mean go on" I say crossing my arms

"Ok apology or questions first Mark" Cade just looked at me for a while I' not sure why and I was too scared to ask sooooo

"So 2 questions right ask away bud, I wanna know what those are about" I said

"Alright number one have you seen Lena since this morning?" They said with concern in his voice

"Oh um no I think Ace went looking for them, though that was quite a bit ago since I got interrogated" I was remembering the flyer in my pocket that Wren dropped when she scurried away from the crime scean ... might want to tell principle light about that one those frogs were expensive. Probably

"Ah Acey found you too huh,Yeah hes trying to fix whatever is happening and asked me to at least try to make it better. Anyways second question ... Why did you do that just randomly?" They sounded genuinely confused at the fact

This oblivious little shit-

"I already said I was sorry about that," I looked back at the cafeteria doors to see Marcy peaking out a little bit then hide again.

"Ok yes, but you didn't answer the actual question now did you" Again with the sarcasm

"Because I've liked for a while and decided to take my shot I guess whats so bad about that"
