Maddison said that she'd eat lunch with me today so I'm really happy. I'm sitting starring at the clock. 5 minutes then I'll get to see her. I'll admit I'm not completely fallen for her yet but I like her. She makes me laugh, which is something I rarely do at school. I'm in Algebra right now but I can't focus, as much fun as solving equations is I can't get my mind off of Maddison.

What feels like a half an hour later the bell rings and I stand up, is this what it feels like to be bored in class? Oh well. I shove all my stuff in my shoulder bag and step out of class. Maddision said she'd meet me at her locker so I head that way. After pushing through the crowd I reach her locker. I wait there smiling and then I hear her laugh. I turn and see her talking to someone. Damn it. She's talking to them, Drake and Andy. "Hey twerp", Drake says messing up my hair. I roll my eyes and fix it. "Hey Marcel...OH YEAH I was supposed to eat lunch with you huh, well you can sit with me Drake, Andy and there friends", she says.

"No he can't", Andy says. "Come on, just for one day", she mumbles to them. My heart sinks. "It's ok Maddison, I don't have to sit with you", I say and turn around. "See, that was easy", I hear Drake says and Andy laughs. I should of known. I feel tears about to pour out and I take off running. I go up stairs all the way to the last floor where no one will be. I slump down in the corner of the stairs and start crying. I rip my glasses off and clean the tears off of them.

I get up after about 10 minutes and start walking to lunch. Once I'm in I go and sit down in a lone table in the corner. I pull out my lunch from my shoulder bag and look up. Maddison, Drake, and Andy are sitting close. Maddison starts choking because she's laughing at one of Andy's jokes. I feel myself about to cry again but I push it back. I start to eat my sandwhich  and slump my shoulders, hopefully no one will notice me.

I wipe my nose with my hand and sniffle a bit. "Marcel", I hear someone say. I look up. Maddison is starring at me. "Oh hi Maddison", I say sniffling again. "I'm sorry Marcel, can I sit down", she says. "Yeah sure", I say. I pull out the chair next to me. I stand and push her in. "Thank you, you're a real gentlemen", she says. I blush. I sit down and she looks at me. "Marcel", she says. "Y-yes", I say stuttering, getting lost in her eyes again. She takes off her glass and breathes into them. I look at her in confusion but them she wipes them clean with her shirt, well I think it's her shirt, it's really hard to tell without my glasses. She puts them back on my head and I can see her smile again.

"You had a little smear on it", she explains. "Oh", I say. "Um...Maddison, why did you come and sit with me", I say after about a minute of ackward silence. "I don't know, you looked lonely, and I don't like bullies", she says and looks over at Drake and Andy who are dumping food on kids. "Oh", I say.

"So Marcel, you haven't told me anything about yourself, what are you into", she says. "Reading", I mumble, she's really going to think I'm a nerd now. "Oh really? I thought you were going to say dirt bike riding", she says sarcastically and she hits my arm playingly. I laugh. "So what do you like to read", she says. "Anything really, except books that have predictable endings", I say. "Me neither, it gets boring", she says. "You read?" I say. "Well yeah, what did you think I'm an idiot or something", she says smiling. "Oh no sorry", I mumble. "I was only joking Marcel", she says.  I smile.

I get to know more about Maddison during lunch. She's from Californa, she moves almost every year because her dad jobs requires him to, her mom left her when she couldn't handle all the moving, Maddison's full name is Maddison Kelly Jones, and she is an the only kid that lives with her dad, her brother lives with her mom, and the last thing I found out before the bell rang, (besides me) she has no friends in England, AT ALL. It makes me feel good that I'm her only friend.

As she stands up to go to class she looks at me. "Do you want to come my house after school", she says. I'm speechless. She wants ME to be at HER house, this beautiful girl. "It's just because you said that you have to walk home because your parents aren't back from work", she says. Shit now I made her uncomfortable. "Oh yeah sure", I say. "Cool, meet me at my locker k", she says. "Ok", I say. She smiles and walks away.

I feel like I'm going to pass out. What if she likes me? Don't be stupid. I stand up and start walking out of the lunch room. "Hey Marcel", I hear someone yell. I turn around and see Drake and Andy. Shit. They get on either side of me. "That Maddison girls real fond of you ain't she", Drake says. "I guess, I'm just her guide around school", I say. "Well she's mine, don't think about trying any of your nerdy moves", he says pushing me. I stumble and fall on the ground. "Wimp", Andy mumbles and they walk off. "Pricks", I say and stand up. I dust myself off and jog to my next class.

*After school*

I wait at Maddison's locker after the bell rings. I soon spot her through the crowded halls. She smiles at me and approaches. "Hey", she says. "Hi", I say. "Ready to go, my dad is probably already out there", she says. "Yeah sure", I say and we start walking.

We get out of the school and Maddison nudges me. "My dad is over there", she says pointing to a black car with the windows rolled down. We walk up to the car. "Hey dad can my friend Marcel come over for a bit", she says. "Making friends already Maddy", he says. "Maddy", I say looking at her. "Whatever", she says smiling. "Yeah so can he come over", she says looking over at her dad. "Yeah of course", he says and Maddison opens the back door.

We get in and Maddisons dad starts up the car. "Marcel, this is my dad Bruce, dad this is my friend Marcel", she says. "Hi", I mumble. "Hi there Marcel", he says. He's so open and loud, like Maddinson. She starts to giggle out of no where. "What", I say hoping that it's not my apearence. "Nothing, it's just my dads face when he saw that I had a boy with me", she says starting to laugh. Her dad chuckles and so do I.

Soon we reach her house. "You have a beautiful home", I say. "Thank you", Bruce says as we pull up to the long drive way. I push my glasses up my nose and I open the door. "Beautiful as ever Ms. Jones", a man says grabbing Maddison's hand and kisses the back of it. "Thank you Charles", she says polity. "Who's that", I whisper. "The main butler", she says. "You have butlers?" I ask. "Yeah, it's not that big of a pleasure, I've had them since I was a kid, trust me",she says. "Oh, I believe you", I say. She laughs. "Come on Mars lighten up", she says slapping my arm. "Mars?" I ask. "Oh sorry, do you not like that nickname", she says. "No I love it", I say. "Good, cause I'm going to start calling you that", she says. I laugh and we go into her house.
