Fake Dated - Marcel Styles Fanfic

Chapter 9

Tiana's POV

"Marcel Styles! Tell me what the hell got into your 4.0 GPA brain that made you change your look and got a crowd of girls berserk all around you?!" I exclaimed to Marcel, panting as we went to the parking lot and got in Marcel's car.

He breathed for a while and then took a deep breath.

"It was like this..."

Flashback

Marcel's POV

"So, Marcel, I heard that you do know how to sing, huh?" Miss Hiddleston said to me when I finally sat down at her office since she got me called up for some reason.

"P-Pardon?" I stuttered as she smiled.

"Ben told me that," she said mentioning my cousin Ben who used to be the lead vocalist of the school band before he graduated. "I called him up yesterday if he knows anyone who knows how to sing so we could invite to participate in the battle of the bands and he then told me about you."

That Ben! I mean, I couldn't even dress like a vocalist and I don't even know any famous bands that I could get musical influence from.

"Mr. Styles?" Miss Hiddleston said, cutting me off.

"Uh-Uhm, I don't know.."

"There'll be extra credits,"

"Okay," I said without hesitation because extra credits mean a lot to me.

Tiana's POV

"So there," Marcel said finally finishing his story. "After that, I called up my sister Gemma to help me out pick some clothes and fix me up. I still got a little nervous though and I kind of cursed Ben on the phone and he just laughed and told me to relax and taught me how to sing with confidence."

"You never told me you could sing," I said as he looked at me shyly.

"I was too shy when it comes to you..." he said while looking me straight in the eye.

We fell silent for a moment just staring at each other's eyes until--

"Uhm, guys? Can you drop me at my house? I'm not feeling well after all that has happened." Liam said at the backseat as we looked at him, forgetting he was actually there.

"O-Oh, y-yeah, sure, sure," Marcel said, starting the car and drove off to Liam's house.

The car drive was slow and quiet and I can notice Marcel's carefulness while driving. I looked at him questioningly as he finally noticed me staring like he already knew my question.

"I just passed my driver's test.." he said shyly as I nodded.

"Not bad for a fresh grad," I joked as he chuckled a bit which made me smile.

"Uhh, Liam? How near are we from your house?" Marcel said as Liam looked outside the window.

"Just two blocks away, man." he said as Marcel nodded.

After a few more minutes of driving, we finally arrived Liam's house.

"Thanks, man," Liam said after getting out of Marcel's car.

"No problem, take care, mate," he said as we waved goodbye to Liam.

Now it's only me and Marcel. We sat there for a while, silently as he kept on tapping the steering wheel.

"Uh-Uhm," he started "Where to now?"

"We should probably head to school now." I said as he backed the car.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot."

He started driving and again, we were silent. This is the first time I was this silent around a person. Especially around a guy. I often talk to guys with confidence and poise but when I'm around Marcel, I don't know, I feel.. Shy? Insecure?

While thinking about stuffs, Marcel then put the music on, playing "Beautiful Soul" by Jesse McCartney. I then looked at him, furrowing my eyebrows.

"You like Jesse McCartney?" I asked as he shrugged.

"My sister does and I kind of liked his songs as well." he said as I smiled.

"Well, this song's one of my favorites," I said as he looked at me with that handsome blank expression and then turned the volume up.

"There," he said smiling at me as I blushed.

"Stop it," I said as he chuckled which made me blush even more.

"You're so cute when you blush," he said as I slapped his shoulder.

We started to have a fun conversation and he actually wanted me to meet his family soon. I said, yeah if the school suspended class today as he laughed. 

As we talked, I received a text message from the student body president just two blocks away from the school saying that some chemistry experiment has gone wrong in the lab which led to the principal suspending the classes for the whole afternoon for safety purposes.

"Oh my God, wait," I said as Marcel slows down a bit.

"What's wrong?" he said as I showed him my phone. 

"Whoa," I said as he laughed thinking about what I said earlier.

"I guess the odds want you to meet my family sooner." he said and made a cheeky grin showing off his lovely dimples which made me blush and laugh.

"Oh man,"
