chapter one ;; penny in the sky with diamonds

one month earlier;

"you look gorgeous today." he whispered in the girls ear as they walked side by side. "i noticed that you're wearing the necklace i gave you." penny blushed as she looked down and lift the necklace off of her chest. it was a simple silver necklace with a heart on the end, but when you open it up, theres a small photo of the boy (thomas), penny, and penny's best friend margaret.

"it's beaut-" she cut herself off when she noticed tom make his way to the girl in front of; marina romanzo. she was an exchange student from italy who became instantly popular. everyone was simply blindsided by her accent and nationality that they didn't care to learn that she was quiet a book worm. even now, she was walking with her head in a book. thomas was equally popular, and he cared about his social label. to stay as "mr.popular", he pretended to date marina. but she didn't speak much english, so she didn't understand what "fake dating for popularity status" meant. in her perspective, every boy was dating her. she wasn't a nasty girl like that, but she only knew one word; "boyfriend". all thomas would do is put his arm around her, and all the boys would. anyways, penny was finally fed up with it. she walked faster and tapped marina on the shoulder, asking "posso parlare con il ragazzo per un attimo?" which means "can i talk to your boyfriend for a moment?" she responded with "naturalmente, darling. voi due sarebbe perfetto insieme, sapete! Ho i miei occhi su qualcun altro..." after speaking, she started staring at the one boy who wasn't head over heals for her-anthony-rather, antonio-clarkzoni. he was from italy, but spoke english. he also didn't find an italian girl amazing as he's always lived with them. anyways, what dear marina had said was "of course, darling. you two would be perfect together, you know! i've got my eyes on someone else..." after she spoke pen smiled and grabbed tommy's hand, pulling him back. 

with a sudden spark of anger, pen took off the necklace and laid it in his hands. "keep it." she muttered, looking down. "wha-why? do you not like it? are you allergic to silver-OH GOD YOU ARE, AREN'T YOU!? GET AN EPI PE-" he was silenced by the petite hand covering his mouth before all the attention was brought to them and held back a laugh. "wh-why?" he spoke again after the hand was moved. but this time, he sounded sad-no, hurt  would be a better word. "i'm sick of hiding. you're either in this, or you're not." as he sputtered for a response, she felt a single tear drop roll down her cheek. "th-that's what i expected." after sniffling, she spoke again. "goodbye for today, thomas."

as she walked away, she wiped a few tears. just as she was going to turn towards the parking lot, she heard a few words called out, and they were all she needed to hear.

"wait-penny-stop! i-i-i love you!" he covered his own mouth after speaking, cringing at the pending response from penny. he could practically see the "..." popping up as if they were texting. finally, as thomas thanked the gods, she turned around.
