Meeting Marcel

The Next Day

At school the next day, I walked in to see Marcel being beaten up again. I tried to get the guy away from Marcel, but he swung his arm at me while he kept Marcel on the ground. I fell down and hit my head. But I got up and tried again to get the guy of him, but he got up and pushed me against the locker. He then said "If you don't go now, I'll beat you up just like I did to your little friend."

I look back at Marcel to see that he was unconscious. My heart sank by just seeing him like that. The guy walked away like nothing happened. I ran to where Marcel lied. I was able to get him out of the school before anyone saw what happened.

I was able to get Marcel on the back of my motorcycle. I somehow got him to stay on the back of it. I know that this was considered skipping school, but I didn't care. We got back to my place and I just barley got Marcel to the couch. I left him there so I could get something to get him to wake up. I took a magazine and fanned him. After awhile he woke up. His eyes widened. I guess he was scared to be out of school when he's not sick.

"Don't worry, your safe here."I said.

" B-but h-how did I get here. w-what happened?"He asked.

so I told him everything that happened. He smiled and thanked me for helping him out.

After awhile, I got him some tea and we sat and talked for awhile. He then asked me how I came to this town and why my house is always empty.

So I decided I would tell him

"Well, when I was a little girl my mum and dad got in a divorce and he moved to Greece. I guess he forgot that my mum had to work for 16 hours a day. So I had a baby sitter everyday before school and after. Everyday I had a new sitter. None of them were that helpful so I took care of myself. By the time I was 14 I decided I didn't need a baby sitter. So I didn't, they stopped coming and I was ok with that. By the time I was 15, we moved to a city nearby here, but I got kicked out of the school there for getting in a fight. My mum was embarrassed of that so she decided to move here. I never wanted to come here, but I'm glad I did. I never had a friend like you, Marcel."

He smiled and gave me a hug

"What time is it?" He asked.

"Uh, about 12:40 why?" I replied

"oh, I'm just not used to being out of school."

"It's not that big of a deal I'll walk with you to school tomorrow."I said

"Ok!" He exclaimed

I told him that he could sleep in the guest room he smiled and thanked me. We sat and talked until 11:30. then we decided that it was time to sleep.
