One of the Guys

TwElVe

I was getting ready going out with Marco. I put on my favorite crew neck, Pizza is my Valentine and red beanie(outfit is the picture.)

"Ooo where are you going?" Jackie asked.

"Somewhere you're not going to be." I tied my red Chuck Taylor's.

"Haha, very funny."
My phone vibrated on the table and Jackie quickly saw who it was from.

"Ooo, the hottie Marco! And you're wearing that crew neck?" She looked disgusted.

"Yeah, because pizza is life!" I grabbed my mini backpack. "bye."

"Bye, have fun." Jackie said
I walked outside to meet up Marco. He is driving a dark blue Toyota corolla.

"Sup Marco." I aimed for a high five but he expected a side hug.

"Were you expecting me to hug you? Do you not know me Marco boy! Haha, I'm not like other girls, I'm always going to aim for a high five my friend." I chuckled.

"Aha, yeah sorry. It's because I usually hug the girls and don't expect a high five. Some girls are shy."

"Yeah...I'm not. Now let's go." I opened the door and slid in.
...
We made it to Sherman's skate rink.
I slipped on my roller blades and so did Marco.
"Last to the rink is a rotten egg!" I quickly walked through the crowd if people to the rink and began skating.
Marco catched up to me.
"Whoa, is skating in your blood?" Marco asked.

"Yupp, the guys and I always come here."

"Cool, I didn't really expect you to know so much."

"Look at this." I began skating fast ad suddenly skating backwards, skating to the beat of the music.
Then I started skating slower with Marco. After skating for a while we were hungry and stopped by the food court.
We ordered our food and sat down.
"You are really good." Marco said. "how long have you been skating?"

"Thanks, 11 years."

"Cool, I'm better at skate boarding." he said.

"Let's just say skating is life." I giggled.
Cameron and Ariana both walked in the food court. They came? I don't want to see Cameron! Ugh!
They were holding hands. They ordered there food and sat down. I saw Cameron turn to my direction.

"Are you and Cameron ok?" Marco asked.

"Uh, not really. But don't worry."

"Um, ok. so I been wanting to ask you something, well not ask you but tell you-"

"Is he here for the skating competition. Oh he is going down." I said

"Uh, maybe-"

"Hmm, he is. He has his lucky skates." I said.

"Do you mind if I finish saying what I wanted to say?" He bit his lip.

"Say what?"

"Well, I don't know if you will feel weird after telling you this. you see since-"

"Are you going to finish that? We have to get ready for the competition."

"Oh, uh, I'm not skating."

"Ok then you can eat that. I have to warm up."

"Ok, I'll wait here until it starts."

"Ok, uh, did you still have something to say?"

"Uh, no. Good luck on the competition." he smiled.
I was warming up and so was Cameron

"Well, well. Cameron is participating in the skate off or just want me as a friend again."

"BESTFRIENDSFORNEVER!" He said.

"Ok, ok I see. You're going down Dallas."

"You're Dawson!"

"Dallas!!"

"Dawson!!"

"DALLAS!"

"DAWSO-"

"Attention all skaters! The skate off will be starting in 3 minutes. Get ready!" The announcer interrupted.

The first person went up and did there routine. Later it was me. I did my usual and new things. Then it was Cameron.
He did ok, but Not The Best!

"Good job, Rosie." Marco said.

"Thanks."

"The winner is...Rosie!!" The announcer said.
I smiled and got my ribbon.
I knew it.

"In your FACE, Dallas!"

"Whatever, my prized possession is right here." he kissed Ariana.

"Aha, haha. you make me laugh."
Was I being mean. Yes. I know I am. why? Because I can.

"I'll get you next time." Cameron's face was inches away from mine.

"Let's see about that!"
We left.
Marco dropped me off.
"I have fun." I smiled.

"Me too. Look I'm just going to say it. I like you! You're so cool, and funny, and brave and different!" Marco said.
I parted my lips.
He likes me!

"Uh, I dunno what to say. Thanks? I guess?"
He tried leaning in but I backed away.

"Uh, sorry. I don't want to kiss. Thanks for today. Bye." I bit my lip and went to my room.
Marco likes me. I'm flattered. He is good looking and cool but I don't feel anything towards him, not like Cam-
Wait, was I about to say...Cameron.
I like Cameron...maybe. No! Yes! Maybe!? Ugh!

What a day!
