He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

Jealousy is Key

When I woke up, I found myself looking up to a blue ceiling. I looked around and saw where I was. Nurse's office.

"Are you okay now, sweetie?" said Nurse Richmond.

"What happened?"

"Sweetie, you fainted before. Your blood pressure was very low when I checked it. We called your parents before but they weren't available. But they just called and they said they will be here in a few minutes. Do you know what happened?"

"Oh, I just felt sick after seeing something. I think that's what made me fall."

"Oh that explains. Marc, Marc Alamzer, yeah that's his name. That boy was the one who came here and dropped off your stuff. He seemed worried sick."

"Really?"

"Yes. He came here and was asking about you."

"Yeah. He probably thought I died or something. I fell to his feet and looked like a maniac."

"He is a very charming boy. He kept coming in and checking. He's a sweet thing."

"Yeah, he's really nice."

I got up and sat on the bench near the door. I started thinking of what happened before.

He probably thinks I have problems. Why did I have to do that? Everyone will know now and things will be so awkward.

As I was in the midst of my thoughts, I saw a boy approach. It was Marc. He had my sweatshirt in his hands.

"Hi Nina. How are you feeling now? I brought all your stuff in case you were wondering where they were."

"I feel better now. And thanks for everything. I really appreciate it."

"Its okay. I think I saw your mom outside before. I'll help you out."

Back when I used to tutor Marc, my mom and his mom had started talking to each other. Even after we stopped talking, our moms still stayed in contact.

"Oh okay. I'll grab my stuff."

I shuffled around and picked up my backpack and books. I grabbed my sweatshirt out of Marc's hands. I threw my backpack over my shoulders, got up and started walking. Behind me, Marc walked as well.

As we kept walking, I noticed Breonna coming.

Why do you have to be here? I thought. Just when things started to seem nice she had to appear.

I was expecting the two of them to grab each other and make out but instead something so unexpected happened, I almost fainted again.

Just as I was about to move away and leave the two with privacy, I felt a warm hand grab my hand. When I turned around to see who it was, I discovered it was Marc.

Breonna stopped for a second and looked at our hands with anger and hatred. It seemed like she was about to cry so she speed walked past us trying not to make any more eye contact.

As soon as the field was clear, I let go of Marc's hand.

"Marc, what the hell was that?" I said in a furious tone.

"I'm sorry I did that. Breonna was coming so I just needed to do something to make sure she would be jealous."

"JEALOUS! What do you even mean by jealous?!"

"It is a really long story. But I'm really sorry."

"But still why did you do that? It seemed like she was about to cry her eyes out."

"She did something to me earlier. I just spazzed out back there. It's complicated."

"Marc. I don't know what happened today. But I need to go now. My mom's waiting for me outside."

"Okay. Bye."

Without returning a bye, I walked away pretending I was in anger. In reality, I was pretty stunned. But most of all, I was confused.
