MARLEYS POV

[COMMENT•SPREAD THE WORD•VOTE]

"Marley!" A disembodied voice said not to far away from me.

"Hey!" He smiled as he caught up to me.

"Hey" I nodded.

"About time you answered! I've been calling your name for a good minute!" Elliot exclaimed

"My bad" I said not really meaning it.

"It's cool! I rarely see you in the hallways. What's up? I heard about what happened" He said referring to my nose.

I looked from my phone to him squinting just a little
"Elliot, What is your point?"

He grinned while scratching his head.
"I..uh..I wanted to talk to.. You I guess?"

My eyes bored as this conversation did "Is that a question?"

He began to laugh lightly. "No, no!"

"Well you didn't sound so sure of what you were saying" I said as I looked back at my phone to book a flight.

"Relax Marley, I was just making conversation" he insisted.

I took a deep breath.
"Well if you want to make conversation I suggest you come up with one that actually is worth talking about"

"Why are you so harsh towards me?" He asked a little tense.

I looked up.
"What are you talking about? When have I ever been harsh towards you? Please name a time"

He put his hand behind his head.
"Right now technically"

"I was clearly busy doing something. You'd think I was if I didn't hear you call my name all the times you claimed to call it" I said rolling my eyes.

Annoyed, I turned the corner into another hallway, hoping he wouldn't follow, but of course he did.

"Are you following me?" I mumbled.

"Yes. until you tell me what's on your mind" he said confidently.

"You didn't even technically. ask me now did you?" I said mocking the way he said the word "technically".

I kept walking. Before I could answer, I spotted Pierce no further than 10 feet away from us, unlocking his class door. I started to fall behind slowly.

"YO JORDAN!" Elliot yelled as he made his way towards Pierce.

"Elliot!" Pierce yelled doing some weird handshake.

I quickly turned & tried to avoid making eye contact with him, I did not feel like dealing with their family bond shit.

"Marley!" Trish exclaimed.

"Hey!" I smiled.

She glanced from Elliot to me
"Were you with him?"

"Yeah he saw me first, & invited himself to tag along. Let's walk a little faster, do you want to smoke?" I spoke fast trying to change the subject.

"Let's go smoke!" She cheered.

"Leave the cheering to us, it clearly looks way better on us" Jasmine laughed walking up to us with her minions.

"What do you want?" I questioned sourly.

"Elliot" she said folding her arms.

"He doesn't want you though" Trish laughed.
