Your Second Half [Completed]

He's my nerd

On Friday I felt like a whole new person. Thursday had came to an end and I was sad when Marcel had to leave. Strangely, my dad wasn't home all day Thursday. Anyway, as I walk down the halls of school, some people gave me appreciative looks but others...not so much. I guess slapping the bitch they call Summer was an accomplishment. I'm over it now. I got Marcel in the end.

I open my locker to retrieve my books for first period. When I close it, I jump when I see Marcel's smiling face. "Gosh, you scared me." "Non intentionally" he laughed. "Why are you so smiley this morning?" "Oh, I don't know, because you're my girlfriend" he said with a goofy grin on his face. "So I'm your girlfriend now?" His smile dropped, "W-well, I thought that after w-..." "Just kidding. Of course I'll be your girlfriend" I said and leaned up, placing a kiss on his warm lips.

"You taste like cinnamon" he stated after licking his lips. "Oh, well thanks" I said sarcastically. "Here, I think you'll need these." I grabbed his glasses out of my bag and showed them to him. "I got them fixed because they were pretty scratched up and one of the screws came out." "Gee, thanks! I've been wondering where they've been!" He tried to take them from my hand but I pulled away. "Nuh-uh. I wanna put them on." "Okay" he chuckled. "Wait, there's a smudge." I grabbed the edge of his plaid flannel and wiped off the mark. I reached up and slipped them onto his face. He wiggled his nose, making his glasses move as well. I giggled, placing my hands either side of his face and kissing him. "Perfect" I said after pulling away.

"Mind if I sit here?" Marcel asked as he approached the lunch table where Ashlyn and I sat. "You know I don't" I smiled and moved my bag so he could have the seat next to me. "Hey Marcel" Ashlyn said. "Hey Ashlyn."

Lunch was great. Ashlyn and I talked and Marcel joined in as well. I'm glad that him and Ashlyn got along. Somehow, during a conversation between Ashlyn and Marcel, he took my hand and held it under the table. I felt all tingly inside. Not my hormonal Wednesdays tingles but actual love tingles. I had already told Ashlyn about mine and Marcel's relationship. She was shocked to hear it but accepted it none-the-less.

I loved having him close to me. I leaned my head on his shoulder as he talked about an upcoming play in theater class. Ashlyn was hooked. She absolutely loved theater but was too late to sign up this year. I felt heat on the top of my head and my only guess was Marcel kissing me there. I looked up and smiled at him, he smiled back before placing his lips on my mine.They are so tempting and make me want him so much more. "You guys are so cute it makes me sick" I heard Ashlyn say from her seat across from us. I pulled away and laughed. I loved my little troop. Just me, Ashlyn and Marcel...perfect.

We had just gotten out of school and Marcel and I were walking hand-in-hand down the hall. There were lots of other people in the hall looking our way but of course, I didn't care. Suddenly, Marcel's hand was snatched away from mine. I looked to see a red-haired boy had pushed him against the lockers. "What the hell Styles!"

Oh gosh, it's Cory. Is he ever gonna give up? Like seriously.

I rushed to them, I grabbed Cory and yanked him away by his shoulders. I kneed him in the stomach and roughly slapped him across the face. The force toppling him over. I went to Marcel who had a stunned face, "Are you alright?" I asked. "Yeah, the question is 'are you alright?' Where'd all that strength come from little lady" he lightly laughed and poked my sides. "I don't know" I giggled, "but we better get out of here before anything else happens" I said and he nodded. "Alright got to my car, I'll be there in like ten minutes. I have to talk to Mr. Harvey." He smiled and kissed my cheek before heading out of the building.

I groan leaving his office. Of course he can't do anything about Cory. Three words: Worst principal ever.

As I head to my car I see a group of kids gathered in a circle not too far away from it. I expect the worse. That's where I'm supposed to be meeting Marcel. I dash to the group and notice them yelling and cheering on. Oh no. I push my way through the crowd. In the center of it all is Marcel, as expected, then Cory yelling at him right in the face. I see Marcel's eyes glaze over and I just want to kiss the tears that are threatening to fall.

"You don't deserve her! Look at you, you're weak!"

I paced towards them and pushed Cory out of the way, "Get the hell out of his face" I say. "Lori..." Marcel tries to stop me. "No. Cory, how many times do I have to say it? I. Don't. Want. You. Dammit! Four years now and you'd think someone would get a clue!" He just stared between the two of us with fury in his eyes.

I turned to Marcel and placed my hands on his cheeks, "Look at me."

His tear filled eyes flickered to mine. "Maybe he's right, I am weak." I gave him a sad smile, "Why? Because you cry?" I asked as I wiped his escaped tears with my thumbs. He wearily nodded. I opened my mouth to say something else but was rudely cut off with...

"Lori loves the nerd! Lori loves the nerd!" they chanted. Ugh, they make me sick. "Maybe we should go" Marcel mumbled but I ignored him. I released the grasp on Marcel and looked around at the crowd of people that encircled us. They laughed and shouted.

"So what?!" I screeched, making the crowd go silent.

"Who cares if he's different, brainy and shy. Who cares if he's a nerd" I averted my gaze back to Marcel, took both his hands in mine and looked into his eyes. "He's MY nerd and I love him."

He smiled before grabbing hold of my face and pressing his lips against mine. I heard a few cheers and some 'whatever's' from the crowd. We moved our lips against each others. They're so soft and warm and oh gosh I want him. He pulled away, "I love you, Lori Anderson" he breathlessly said as he kept my eyes hostage with his green ones. "And I love you, Marcel Styles."
