One of the Guys

FiVe

"Bye guys." I said as I walked out of school.
I saw Cameron leaning on Ariana's car. They were laughing and talking.
Suddenly a car stopped right infront of me, scaring me.

"Hey there Rosie, wanna hop in so we can go to your hous end work on the project." Marco said.

"You scared the life out of me!" I got in the car.

"Sorry, are you thirsty? Craving anything?" Marco asked.

"Yes, Starbucks please." I said.
Now, I'm not a big Starbucks drinker but when I am it's because I'm nervous and worried, and why am I nervous and worried. First, what Jackie said about Cameron and I think it's happening, Second, I think im crushing on Marco. And third, I'm jealous of Ariana.

Marco and I walked in Starbucks, I ordered my usual.
"Venti Vanilla bean with caramel drizzle!" The lady yelled. (this drink is really bomb!)
After we got our drinks, we drove to Walmart to buy the suppiles. I went to the supply isle and got as much things as we needed. Billy was walking by the isle and he saw me.
"Hey Billy boy! big Billy bob, triple B-"

"Enough, I get it. Why are you here?" He asked.

"Why else would I come to Walmart, to shop, my gosh Billy! You work here! You should know!" I said.

Billy looked at Marco.
"This isn't Carmen. Who is this?" He asked.

"Cameron, It's Cameron! And he is busy, couldn't make it. This is Marcus-"

"Marco." Marco corrected me.

"Yeah, Marco. He is my art partner."

Billy was talking through his walkie talkie. "Make sure my office is clean with no traps, and check isle 5." he whispered. I could still hear him.

"Billy my boy, I just arrived, so there isn't any traps." Marco and I walked with the cart fool of supplies.

"Ok, how weird of that, you better be telling the truth. Bye." he said and left us alone. I put the items on the register.
"What was that?" Marco asked.

"Oh nothing." I paid the register guy.

"Why was he all over you?"

"Oh, he's the homie Billy. Cam and I bother him and annoy him. We've been doing it since when we were 5." I chuckle.

"Oh, that's funny."

"Yeah, but he always calls home and I get in trouble."

"I can imagine."
We drove home.
"Welcome to my humble home." I said as we walk in.

"Rosie, is that you?" Mom asked from the kitchen.

"No, it's Leonardo dicaprio." I said.

"Aha very funny." she said and her eyes landed on Marco.

"Oh who is this?"

"My art buddy, Marco."

"Hello Marco, I'm Eva Dawson."

"Hello." he smiled.

"We are going to work upstairs." I said and walked upstairs to my room.

"Welcome to my cave." I dropped the stuff on my bed.

"Nice, it smells like cinnamon and apple, I love that scent." he sat on the bean bag chair.

"Same here, so let's start with building the house. To make things quick, I can do furniture and painting, you build it."

"I was thinking the same thing." he started off with the building.
An hour later he was down but all we needed was the roof.

"Rosie, dinner is ready." Mom walked in my room. "Marco, would you like to stay?"

"Um, sure." he smiled.
We walked downstairs to the table.
"Sup Charlie" I nudge his head.

"Who's this, your BOYFRIEND!" Charlie teased.

"Shut up you little brat!" I push his head.

"Rosie!" Mom gave me a stare.

"He's my friend, Marco. Marco, this is my little brother, Charlie."

"Sup." Marco said to him.
We ate baked potatoes and talked.
After we ate we tried finishing up the roof.
"We're, well with building the house." Marco chuckled.

"Looks cool, can't wait for the finishing touches." I said. "um, do you want to play some Bball." I asked.

"Yeah, one on one." he smirked.
I quickly changed in the bathroom.
We went outside on the driveway.
We began playing. As we played I noticed the familiar white Mini Cooper In front of Cams house.
Marco did multiple slam dunks.
Suddenly, Jackie's car drove up and the ball hit her hood.

"Rosie! Be careful, you hit my car you loser! I'm going to- oh dear, who do we have here?" Jackie said.
Marco was shirtless and sweaty.

"Hey, I'm Jackie-"

"The fattie." I added before she finished.
She looked at me annoyed and Marco was giggling.

"She's my sister. Jackie, this is Marco, my art partner." I introduced.
They shook hands but Jackie's eyes were glowing.
"Excuse me, Marco." she flipped her hair, smiled, winked, and walked inside with her flirty walk. She found him hot, I can't argue with that.
"Ahem,cougar." I faked coughed.

"You're sister seems nice." Marco said.

"Don't get fooled what's on the outside, the inside is like moldy lasagna." I said wiping my sweat off.

"Haha, your cute and funny." He said.
Did he just call me...cute? My heart is beating fast and I have butterflies in my stomach. Oh gosh, Marco don't do this to me!

"Um, gracias. You know how to build things and look good with your shirt off." I said nervously.
What the heck, Rosie! Did I really just say that?! I'm stupid! I don't know how to freaking flirt!

"Haha, thanks. Well I have to get going." he got up and helped me up from the floor.
Next door, I saw Cameron walked out with Ariana. he looked my way and I walked Marco to his car. Cameron clenched his jaw.
"Bye, see you tomorrow." I said to Marco.

"Yeah, bye." he smiled and drove off.
I walked back home. I felt Cameron's eyes follow me.
I went to my room to clean up and took a shower. After my shower I laid down and listened to music.
Suddenly, a knock on my window, it was Cameron standing outside on my balcony.
I got up and opened it.
"hello, Cam." I said sitting on my bed.

"Hey, what's up."

"Nothing much."

"You're acting weird, what happened?"

"I don't know, I feel left out. Cam, you've been ignoring me. You left last time and we need got to play Bball. You don't even look at me anymore at school and act like we are total strangers!"

"Well, I'm sorry. I've been so caught up with Aria-"

"Oh, Ariana and not the project. Hahaha."

"You know she's my crush!"

"Yeah but also you don't forget about you're friends!"

"I'm sorry. Maybe I've been too carried away with Ariana. I feel bad now"

"Yeah you should! Nah I'm kidding. I forgive you. So, how's it going?"
Now, I'm not being clingy, it's just that, how would you feel if your BFF ignores you just to be with someone else. I mean you're friends always come to you excitedly and talk about how everything went with their crush!

"I think we're hitting the spot! I'm goin to ask her out soon!" He said excitedly.

"That's.. Great."
