Come Away.

School

Tyler and Marlowe sat in class together. They had a big project that needed to be done. Billy being Billy got a little jealous of Tyler. They got to spend time with each other all the time, Billy not seeing Marlow.... That was another story.

Marlowe came out of class seeing Billy talking to another girl. She wanted Billy to be happy after hearing such heart-breaking news. Not waving or talking to him as she passed by him. "Hey!" He shouted. Marlowe turns around.

"Oh, hey California." Marlowe greets him. Steve quickly rushed by and slam a small bag of grapes to her chest, cause he was late to one of his classes. "Thanks." Turning her head a bit. "Weirdo." Shaking her head. The girl that Billy was talking to is far too pretty. And could feel that she wanted Marlowe to go away. "I'll talk to you later." Turning back around.

"Wait!" Slamming his locker as he rushed to Marlowe's side. Leaving that poor girl behind. Which is odd for his behavior. "Um who's taking you home?"

"Uh.. Granny is picking me up. I have a doctor's appointment." The finale one so they can schedule for surgery.

"Oh, cause I would take you."

Reaching her hand out to feel Billy's forehead. "Are you feeling, okay?" He wasn't warm.

Snatching her hand away from his forehead. "I'm fine." His teeth gritted. "I'm trying to be nice."

Marlowe pointed out to the poor girl that Billy left at his locker. "I know. But uh you left a cute girl at your locker to see if I needed a ride home." Then continued to walk to her next class. "I'm flattered. Thanks for asking California."

To Billy yeah sure the girl was cute. But not up to his level. "Don't worry about it. What are you doing after the appointment?"

"Um doing some homework, otherwise nothing. Why?"

"I... I uh just wanted to know."

"So, you could come over?" Marlowe softly chuckled. "That's fine. But don't you have practice today?"

"No that was yesterday. But maybe." He was kinda nervous for some odd reason.

Marlowe started to walk to her class. "As long if you don't get into trouble then I don't mind. Unless Granny might put you to work. "

"That's fine." Billy walked backwards a bit and then turns around as he headed to his class. Hoping that today will stay like this for the rest of the day. 

Tommy sat next to Billy. "Billy, we're having another party, and this girl name Cat is hot as fuck." He whispered to Billy, as the teacher had entered the room. 

"Really?" Billy acted that he cared, he really didn't at this point. But by keeping his style he had to act like he was interested.

"Yeah! Tiny breast that you can hold while you fuck her." Whispering again, with a devilish laughter that was soft.   "And- and, you'll love this even more! She's a virgin. Red heads are more fun." Tommy is so proud of himself as he talked about woman like that. 

Billy didn't like that, so he nods as the bell rang. Class began the teacher began to teach. School let out around three as Billy leaned on his car waiting for Max to come to the car. Looking at his watch as he waited, this redheaded girl clears her throat. Billy turns his head it wasn't Max. "Yes?"

"My name is Cat. Tina sent me over." Cat was a bit shy, but so out there by her clothing. Skimpy, dress barely covering her ass. Long red beautiful hair. 

Yeah, she was hot. "Oh, right. Tommy said that your new here." Letting out some smoke. "Billy."

"I am. I thought also I should introduce myself. It's nice to meet you, Billy."

Steve was watching a bit as he walked to his car. He knew better that Marlowe had a crush on him and this would crush her, but it would be for the best. To focus on herself than to be worried about someone who never really cared. He hated on breaking the news to her. Steve had to drive by his "Granny" anyways. 

How was Steve going to tell poor Marlowe about Billy? Being a brother he just had to and deal with a broken heart now then later. Being in her room. "I need to talk to you sis."

Shutting her history book. "Okay?"

"It's about California..." 

Marlowe sighs. "What about him?"

"He's... well he's talking to another girl. Like in a flirty way." Holding his hands out so Marlowe wouldn't shoot him. "I know how you like him."

Did this upset her? A little. But Marlowe never told California about how she felt about him. "He can talk to whoever he likes too. It's not like I told him how I felt anyways. Besides, he can fuck, screw whomever he pleases." But this cannot bother her. This was her motivation to work out more. That maybe one day that some else would put her first and would want her first. If she looked better and more flattering.

Steve being proud of Marlowe, but also seeing that this had upset her a bit. "Wow, you took this better than I thought."

"Me too." Coming to her sense. "Thanks, Steve, for always looking out for me."

"I wouldn't be a big brother if I let you hang out and dry." 

Wishing now that Marlowe didn't agree for Billy to come over. That he should stay away, only come to her if he needed a place to stay and that would be it. Steve had left as Marlowe was doing her own homework. The window was open, hearing a car coming down the road with semi loud music. Marlowe knew it had to be Billy. Going up to the window and she was right, it was Billy. Slamming the door shut as he heads towards the door.

But why did Billy want to come over? Marlowe never bother to ask why. Going down stairs as Billy knocked on the door, Granny opens the door. "Billy! Just the man I wanted to see." Letting Billy come inside the house.

"Oh yeah?" Acting happy that someone wanted him there.

"Of course. Tomorrow I'm out of town and I was wondering if you would be okay with certain things that need to be down around here." Granny had a list for him.

"Yeah, no problem. Marlowe, ready to study?" No books, Granny wasn't dumb but allowed Billy to go up to Marlowe's room.

"Sure." Turning around as Billy followed up the stairs.

Closing the door behind him. He sat on the chair. "I have something I want to talk to you about."

"What's that?"

Billy sighed. "So there's this new girl in town."

Here we go he's going to tell her about this girl.... Don't let this bother you. He means nothing to you like you mean nothing to him. The two of you are just nice towards each other. "Yeah?" Crossing her arms and then uncrossing cause she didn't want Billy to think that it's going bother her.

"Her name is Cat, that's besides the point. There's a party. You wanna come?"

"Um... No. I have a test that's first thing in the morning. Thanks of thinking of me." Marlowe played it cool.

Billy could tell something isn't right, she wasn't lying cause they had the same teacher but different hour. "What about if I picked you up for like an hour and then take you home?"

Marlowe smiled and thought it was sweet. "As much as that sounds like fun." Not really. "I don't think so." Come to think of it. "Is this why you wanted to come over?" If so that was lame. Marlowe thought.

Billy shook his head no. "No. I just don't want to go home. If you don't mind." It wasn't cause his dad and Billy got into another fight. He got punch on the side.

"I don't." Marlowe went to her bed and sat down. They opened up their home work and did their work.
