Falling For you

Chapter 1

(Ella"s POV)

I pulled my vest over my head and made sure my shirt was tucked in perfectly and braided my hair into french braids like I always did and i pushed my glasses up off my nose to make sure I looked alright to go school. As i looked one last look in the mirror i exited my room.

I met my sister Rachel downstairs so she could take me to school "Ella your glasses get bigger everytime I see you." "Rachel don't be rude." "It's a joke you need to learn how to take one." I frowned at her and my mom kissed my head and we were out the door. 

Rachel was so popular at school. She won homecoming Queen and she's a cheerleader so everyone loves her. She was so pretty and people never actually thought we were sisters. When we arrived at school Rachel acted like she didn't know who i was. "Ella go hang out with your friends." 

I hated when she said that because I had no friends. Nobody liked a nerd like me i was a junior in highschool. When i arrived at my locker the jocks knocked my stuff out of my hands and onto the floor and took my glasses from me and was making fun of me. Down the hall the same thing was happening to the other "nerd" Marcel. I said to the jock "Give me my glasses your going to make me late." As the bell rang the jock dropped my glasses "Find them now freak." I picked my glasses up and collected my stuff and headed to first period.

As i walked inside Science class i saw Marcel sitting there hands still shaking from being pushed down in the hallway. I wanted to sit by him so bad, but i couldn't i was too shy. As the morning rushed by i passed Marcel in the hall on the way to lunch and I sat by myself at the lunch table as the i guess they are called "Art Nerds" showed up. They never talked to me. 

After lunch was over I went to my locker the same Marcel was at his down the hall from mine. The jocks of course came too me and said  "Give me your money." "Excuse me?" Just then i pushed aganist a locker "Give me your money." "I don't have any money i swear." My body was shaking by now but as the bell rang the jocks scattered and i looked and Marcel who was picking up his glasses. 

By the end of the school day I was ready to go home and relax but i couldn't I had hours of homework and a huge Biology test tomorrow.

(Marccel's POV)

I got home and threw my bag on the floor and ran up to my bedroom and slammed the door i wanted to start self harming but what was the point? That will just draw more attention to me. I never cry but today i wanted to. Not because of bulling or my parents but because of a girl called Ella.

Ella gets bullied like me but i've been to scared to talk to her because what if she doesn't like me? Or what if she's like Rachel a partygirl. I couldn't do this to myself. Finally i just sat down on my bed and pulled my science notes off my nightstand and started studying. At around 6pm my mom brought me dinner and she said sat down "Marcel how are you doing?" ''Fine I guess. Just studying for my biology test tomorrow.'' She started running her fingers through my hair i pulled away "Mom stop i need to study." My mom just trys to connect with me but i guess after raising my two sisters Michelle and Molly it must be weird having me.

Around 10 that night I fell asleep and i fell asleep thinking about Ella.

(Ella's POV) 

That morning before school i got ready and i wore my purple vest because i was feeling extra happy because i had my biology test. I even left my hair down today so people could actually see it. When Rachel saw me she said "Oh my gosh your pretty leave your hair down more." "Thanks Ray it's just for my biology test." 

On the way to school she started talking about mark her boyfriend when she asked me if i like anyone. "I like a boy called Marcel." "You mean the nerd...i mean the smart kid who gets bullied?" "Yeah but he will never notice me."  "El i can talk to him for you." I about jumped out of the car when she said that "Rachel no!! I really like this guy you cannot talk to him. Promise me that."  "Okay fine."

That morning the jocks left me alone but not Marcel. I felt so bad that my heart broke seeing him getting bullied like that. After the biology test i went to spanish and math and then lunch time. I sat down at the same table as i do everyday. After i ate my sandwich and drank all my juice i went back to my locker. As i did that I saw Marcel at his locker and the 4 jocks all came to me. 

They lost there basketball game last night and there was going to be a huge gang fight tonight and they needed money. My sister told me all this, this morning. I had 10 dollers in my pocket. "Here take the money." i said backing away. "We don't need money we need drugs." I couldn't provide them with drugs so i said "I'm not helping." 

When i said that the biggest jock picked me up around my collar "find me some drugs or you die." "I can't i don't know where anyone sells or makes them." He realeased his grip just bit so i could breathe a little easier. Just then i heard a voice say "Put her down." The jock holding me looked down "Excuse me, what are you gonna do bout it." Instead of a response it was an action. I was pushed aganist a locker along with the guy holding me. He lost his grip of me and during the fall he snapped my glasses. 

I could still see. Not good but i could. I looked to see who it was saving me...It was....Marcel
