Me and Marcus

Chapter 19

I gulped down the rest of my cereal and put the bowl of stray milk in the sink. I rushed to my bedroom and got dressed for my mall day with Trevor. I don't know why, but I wanted it to be perfect. I know I am kinda being unloyal to Marcus by saying that, but Trevor is my first friend in this new town and I don't want to lose him.

I threw on some white skinny jeans and a gray American flag tank top. I put on my black converse and applied some makeup. I decided to keep my hair down because I don't usually do. I grabbed my phone and wallet and sat on the couch waiting for him. We made up a time last night for him to come get me. I looked at the clock on my stove. It was 10:30 so he should be here soon. I heard a knock and I jumped up from my seat still a bit nervous but mostly excited. I opened the door and the smile jumped off my face.

Instead of seeing Trevor, I saw Marcus. I started to worry and it became really hot all of a sudden.

"M-Marcus what are you doing here?" I asked confused. I guess I shouldn't be surprised because he is my boyfriend.

"Uh...I thought maybe you wanted to hang out today?" He responded and I freaked out in my head. Should I tell him the truth about Trevor? Should I just not tell about Trevor? I knew this was going to happen. I decided to keep it on the down low so he won't get upset.

"I'm busy today, really sorry. Maybe tonight or something?" I offered so he wouldn't be curious on what I was busy with.

"Ok, see you later." Marcus said and leaned in and gave me a quick kiss. I smiled at him as he then left. As soon as I shut the door I sighed a huge sigh of relief. Out of nowhere, a bunch of knocks came from my window. I rushed over scared to see if it was a burglar. I opened the blinds and laughed a bit when I saw Trevor smiling outside the window. I opened it and jumped out side. I closed the window behind me and gave Trevor a confused look.

"Marcus was at your front door when I got here, so I rushed to the closest window." He said with a small grin. I smiled at the fact that he wouldn't mind going through that for me. He was really starting to be a true friend.

He led me to his motorcycle that was parked across the street and I got excited because I never have been on a motorcycle before but I always wanted to. He handed a helmet and laughed at me bouncing in excitedness. I hoped on the back and he started it up.

We drove off down the street and the feeling of the wind blowing my hair and the feeling of freedom was amazing. I wish I had my own motorcycle, but I don't even have my license or car. We sped up on another street and I whispered, "oh, my, god." which earned a laugh from Trevor. We turned down more streets which only made me never want to get off the bike.

Unfortunately, we made it too the mall just a little too quick for me. I stepped off the motorcycle and took off my helmet. Then I shook my hair and fixed it because it was probably a big mess on my head. After he put the helmets in little bags on the side of the bike, we walked into the mall. As soon as we walked in there was a Starbucks, and being the classic girl I am, I rushed over and got myself a caramel frappichino

I rushed back over the Trevor who walked into Dunkin Donuts.

"You're a Starbucks girl?" He asked when I stood next to him sipping my drink.

"You're a Dunkin boy?" I asked back giggling. He squinted his eyes and grinned.

"Touché" he answered and I laughed. We were really becoming better friends and are starting to bond with each other. He got his iced coffee and we walked around. I stopped at Forever 21 and Trevor said he was going to a sports store. I looked through some racks of clothes but I didn't find anything as good as last time. I walked to Lush and got a watermelon bath bomb. When I went to walk to Olympia to find Trevor, I stopped dead in my tracks.
