CHAPTER 3

***Marcel's POV***

She was crying in my arms. I comforted her. I take her out to my car and we just sit there and talk while we eat our food. "So who are you going to the Christmas dance with?" That question made me so nervous I never thought of going till she came to our school. I lifted my head and just put it back down and started playing with mu fingers.

"Um I don't ask anyone cause they all laugh at me and tease me. Saddest part they judge me on my looks and not my personality. My mum feels for me and tells me to ask someone but, she had a great high school experience. My sister is the only one that knows I get bullied and my father walked out on us when I was 7." I tell her knowing that its right since we're basically friends now, right? "I-I-I'm sorry Marcel it was a dumb question. I shouldn't have asked you. I'm really sorry." She tells me and looks away not making any eye contact with me whatsoever.

I answered the question honestly no one ever wanted to go with me I was the laughing stalk of the school no one liked me here. I hate high school people say the last four years of school are the best. Thats a giant lie, its torture no one understands me. I want to leave and go to college and try to start fresh. I already know college I want to go to. Its far from here, some plan on going to the states. I want to stay in England but, not to close to this place.

I look at her and lifted her head up. "Hey how about we go back to school and get on with today and after school go to my house so we can start on that science project." She smiles and giggles a little. I see a tear on her face and wipe it away with my thumb. Man I always wanted to do that to a girl and I finally have.

"Yeah I would love that." She says and puts her hand on mine. I notice I'm cuffing her cheek and she closes her eyes and smiles. Does she like me and except me for who I am?

***Kristen's POV***

His touch is so soft and he makes me feel safe. I'm glad I bumped into him this morning or I wouldn't be in his car with him and, wouldn't have this feeling. He wipes my tear away and I close my eyes and smile. Holding his hand that is on my face. I like him a lot but, I just met him and he probably doesn't like me.

"Marcel?" I ask in my soft voice since its really quiet except for the music but, thats really low as well.

"Yeah Kristen. Are you ok?" He asked me and I just know he is worried by the sound of my voice.

"I'm fine I just wanted to ask you one question." I get nervous from the thought of my question scared of his answer hoping its the same as mine.

"Ask me Kristen. I will answer it as honest as possible." He tells me and it worries me even more now. Why did I have to go and say something in the first place.

"Who do you....Where do you plan on going for college?" I changed my question in the middle of the sentence. UGHH. Why am I so afraid of asking it. Oh thats right cause he might not say my name. I mean yeah I just got here and he probably likes someone else but, I should of asked him to clarify even more. I'M SO STUPID!!!!!!

"No your not love. Why would you say that?" He asked me. Oh my god I said that out loud great just great. Why?

"It was an accident?" I say but made it sound like a question. He's going to think I'm crazy now. He'll never like me now. Why did I say that out loud.

***Marcel's POV***

Why did she say that? Why does she think she is stupid? Was it me. Of course its you Marcel she telling you that so she doesn't tell you later that she doesn't want to be friends. Marcel you'll never have a friend or a girl like you back only if you showed everyone what your really like and not just your sister and mum.
