Teenage Appeal

Ch.18

I grew inpatient as I bit away at my nail. It was only eleven fifty seven. The clock went so slow, its doing this on purpose. I started to panic a little. What would he say? What did he want from me? Is he still mad at me? What if he doesn't show up at all?

"Calm down Georgia." I told myself. I paced the room back forth even though it was pitch black. I had to make it seem like I was sleep or else my mom would kill me if she knew I was up.

I decided to see if Marcel was up. His light was off telling me he must be sleep.

The clock stroke eleven fifty nine.

He wasn't going to show. If his light is off clearly he's asleep. Maybe that's what I should be doing. I still have school tomorrow.

No ill go.

"Stop procrastinating." I nearly yelled at myself. I'm going crazy.

After debating for a minute I decided to just go. I'd wait five minutes and if he didn't show then I'd go to bed. If he did then, well I'd stay of course. I missed the way his green eyes poured into me. The way his scent made its way to my nose. The way his hair fell a little.

I missed him.

Just him.

I opened my window, suddenly realizing Marcels window was too opened. I felt a smile appear on my face as I made my way down and across the grass.

There he stood.

His back was turned from me but I knew it was him. I knew those shorts to well. He wore them to the gym when I met up with him. I had to admit he looked pretty attractive in them.

I tapped him on the shoulder causing him to jump a little. He faced me and a small smile crossed his face.

"You came."

"Of course."

"So you've missed me too?" I asked him but regretting it right away.

"Not exactly but yeah.. a little. You missed me?" I looked at the ground and thought about what to say next. I could just ignore the question and just apologize, and walk away. He just stated he didn't 'exactly' miss me. What was I doing here? waisting my time was what I was doing.

"Look I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so stuck up and treat you like some rebound. Your not. You were right. I just worry about myself." I said all in one breath. He just blinked and looked at me like I was crazy.

"What?"

"Did I upset you?" he asked.

I shook my head no. he did but I wasn't going to tell him that. I'm still positive he dowsnt like me. Do I even like him?

"Yes I did. Was it something I said?"

"No."

"Georgia..I know you too well."

My eyes met his as the sound of those words. He knew me to well? Did this mean he actually liked me? Don't get ahead of yourself Georgia.

"I mean...something must be bothering you." Marcel scratched the back of his neck and looked away. I couldn't help but laugh at how nervous he was. it was cute.

"Well I just thought you would miss me that's all." I slapped my hand across my mouth agry at myself for saying that out loud.

Marcel didn't seem to care he smiled at me and rolled his eyes.

"I did miss you. I just didn't want to make you uncomfortable or anything."

"So your not mad at me?"

"Well...maybe. But right now no."

I was a little upset he was mad at me but I just smiled up at him and shrugged. This has got to be a sign.

"That's better than nothing." I said. He chuckled and nodded his hands.

It went silent for a while and as he looked up at the sky I admired his beauty. His hand swung back and forth intill it accidentally grabbed mines.

"Sorry!" he said yanking it away. I could tell he was blushing and I was a little upset because his hand was no longer on mine.

"No its ok...So why did you send me that note?"

"Oh about that..."
