Transformation (Marcel FanFic)

Transformation 7

~Seven~

I turned to see Amie staring us down. Her gaze went from me to Joanna. Her mouth was slightly agape, shock was written all over her face.

I had no idea what to say. I tried to keep my cool but half of me wanted to run by her side, and act like we have for the last 19 years of my life.

How could I have forgotten to call her? Okay, well I didn't forget, I just seemed to not do it.

"I went by your house earlier and your mum said you were here." She looked down, almost ashamed that she were stalking me, but she wasn't. We always met up somewhere if we weren't at home. "What are you doing here? With... Joanna?" She glared at the girl next to me.

I could tell she was confused and upset, but most of all she was disappointed. Today was our day.

It was more of a routine. After a long week at school we would meet up on Saturday and just relax and enjoy each others company. But today, I ditched her.

"We uh well- you see" I was lost in thought. How could I tell her without losing her? I was worrying about her, I mean, she says she doesn't care if she's seen with me, but deep down I know she only says that to make me feel better.

She says she likes to b with me for me but I know she's lying. I just know it.

"We're together." Joanna blurted out. Her grip on my hand tightened. I should have denied it, but I didn't. More people from school had crowded us and I could see jocks eyeing me, disbelief written all over their faces.

"You are?" A frowned crossed Amie's face. I didn't answer, I just stood there with a huge creepy smile on my face. A tiny part of me was ecstatic that we were doing this publicly, but another part was getting nauseous.

I hated being the center of attention. Once I had to give a presentation in front of my Business class to see which ideas were the best. All my ideas got shot down and I was completely humiliated.

"Earth to Marcel!" A finger snapped in front of my face. "Why do you keep zoning out?" An annoyed Joanna asked.

"Sorry, I was just thinking." It was just us now. "Where did Amie go?"

"Well when you were your own little world, she left. Something about not believing you. I don't I didn't pay attention to what she said." She examined her name, uninterested in what she said.

"Why did you tell her we were together?"

"Jeez Marcel. Do you not listen to me at all?" She scoffed. "If people think I'm dating you, then they'll think there's something to you. Hence making you mor popular" she stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"B-But Amie, she-she looked hurt. Don't you think we should let her in on what we're doing." Concern and regret washed through me.

"No!" She said a bit to quickly. "No one can know understand me. Just trust me okay. You'll have your friend back after, alright?"

"Okay." My head hung low.

I wanted to be popular and not get bullied, but I also wanted to be with Amie.
