Since Marcel started tutoring me in math, my math grades were soaring higher and higher. Mrs. Schwartz handed me yet another A on my math test. "Katrina you are getting so much better in math, I'm proud of you" Mrs. Schwartz said. I thanked her and I looked at Marcel. I showed my grade to Marcel and he gave me a thumbs-up. I'm glad Marcel is my friend but I can't get over the fact that I have a crush on Marcel. I couldn't really help it, he was so sweet and funny, and damn he is fucking attractive.
The bell rang and I thanked Marcel for helping me with math. "No problem, that's what friends do" he grinned. When I heard him say "friend" it stinged me a little. If only he knew how I felt. In the middle of my thinking, Marcel grabbed me in a big bear hug. It only lasted 2 seconds, but I felt my heart flip 300 times. He smelled like cologne and hair gel, which my nose really enjoyed. "What was that for?" I asked. "Friends hug, don't they?" he replied. "Oh yeah, of course" I said.
We walked down to the cafeteria together and we just talked. I realized that Marcel wasn't just fully consumed in learning, he listened to music too. We had a lot in common, we liked the same bands and we share the same obsession with Ramen noodles. Marcel may be very smart, but this guy was hilarious. One time he told me his science pick up lines like "Do you want to test the spring potential of this mattress?" and I almost died laughing.
After school, Marcel told me some news, my heart sunk down to my stomach.
