*Next Morning*
Marcus didn't tell me what he was whispering to my dad yesterday. I am so curious about it, I just hope it's not something bad. I woke up early and Alissa and Hailey were still sleeping, I went downstairs to get something to eat. I was in the kitchen opening the fridge when I felt hands on my waist and a scream, "Watch out!!" Marcus yelled and I screamed. "You need to stop doing this seriously." I said angrily while he was laughing as always. "You get scared so easily what can I do." He said still laughing. "Ughhh. Whatever." I said. "What are you doing this early?" He asked. "I don't know why I woke up now but yeah here I am. Why are you up early?" I asked. "I didn't sleep." He said. "Really? Of course thinking about what you and dad were talking about." I said rolling my eyes. "Don't get mad, I will tell you about it later. What are you doing today?" He asked. "Nothing really. Maybe, Netflix and eating? You?" I said. "I am going out with Lucas." He said. "Good. See ya." I said grabbing an apple and going upstairs again. I slept on my bed, opened my laptop and watched Netflix. I watched few episodes of TVD and slept while watching it. I woke up around 4 pm and no one was in the room. I showered and changed to maroon sweater with olive scarf and jeans. I took my phone and went downstairs, I was completely alone in the house. I ordered an uber and went to a restaurant nearby. I was on my phone eating my food when someone sat in front of me. Celest. Girl, just because I forgave you that day doesn't mean we are okay and can be friends!! "Mia! What a chance! How are you?" Celest said. "I am fine. You?" I asked. "Great. Are you here alone or waiting for someone?" She asked. "Waiting for someone really." I said trying to make her leave. "Can I keep you company till he/she comes?" She asked with her ridiculous smile. "Sure." I said trying to hold myself and not be rude. "I was willing that we can be friends." She started. No thanks I don't want to. "So, Let me talk to you about myself. I am Celest Cody. I used to live in Maryland but I moved when my dad passed away." She said lowering her voice at the end. "Oh, I am so sorry to hear that. Who are you living with now?" I asked. "My mom. She and dad were separated so, when he passed away I moved with her. However,we moved here few weeks ago." She said. "I also heard your brother passed away. Sorry for that,too." I said. "Yeah... He had a disease and he suffered for months then he passed away." She started crying a bit. "But, Thanks to Hailey she was by my side. And Marcus was my brother's best friend and he took care of me like my older brother did. So caring and sweet,right?" She said. Girl are you making me lose my mind? "Y..yeah." I said. "Tell me, how did you meet Marcus?" She asked. "We pumped into each other in the street." I said smiling a little remembering how we first met. Those days! "Oww. That's how most of the romantic stories begin. But you told me you two don't love each other,right?" She asked. I got a call from Tara, just on time! "I am sorry I have to answer." I said getting up and she nodded. "Perfect timing! Where are you?" I asked. "Why? What happened?" She asked. "I will tell you when I come, send me your location and I am on my way." She said. "Of course!" She said. I went back to Celest. "I am so sorry, the person I was waiting isn't coming. And I have to leave." I said. "I understand. It was so nice talking to you, hope we can meet again soon!" She said. "Sure." I said paying for my food and left. I went to Tara, she was at a photoshoot. "Heyy." I said hugging her. "Hi. I called you to keep me company, so bored! Tell me what happened! I have 15 mins rest." She said. "Sure, sit down." I said.
*Hailey's prov*
I was at the mall shopping and I was heading home when I got a call from Celest. "Hey girl." I said. "Bestie! Where are you?" She asked. "On my way home, Come over?" I said. "That was what I am gonna do. Be there in 10." She said and hung up. When I got home she was already there on her phone. "Hi, sorry I had to make you wait." I said hugging her. "Don't worry, I just got here." She said smiling. We got to my room and neither Alissa nor Mia were here. "Actually, I have something I want to tell you Hailey." Celest said. "Sure. What is it?" I asked. "I am in love!" She said excited and happy. "Really? Who is he? Do I know him?" I asked. "Yes! Marcus!!" She said smiling so hard. "Wait....W...What?" I nervously said. "Unexpected right? I know! I didn't really care before but soon I realized that I love him! You see, he took care of me after my brother passed away. And we became friends. Do you think he did it in a friendly way?" She said. "But ... Celest.." I started. "Don't worry, I am quite sure he loves me back! That day when Mia sang Like I am gonna lose you he stared at me and he was smiling. Also, He doesn't have a girl these days. I suspected Mia but I asked her and she said they were friends. I asked her today, too and sh.." She said. "Wait. You met Mia today?" I asked. "Yes! And now I am sure he doesn't love any other girl. I suggest I confess my love to him ASAP!" Celest said in excitement. "But.. Let's wait for a while,okay? At least till we know how you will do it." I said. "Okay. I am so happy." She said and hugged me. No Celest you can't. He loves Mia and she loves him back. You can't do this. I wanted to tell her that but I couldn't. Why?
*Mia's prov*
"I didn't meet that Celest, but I hate her already!" Tara said. "Yes, she's so weird and childish. And she's crushing on Marcus!" I said angrily. "So, you hate her because she's crushing on Marcus." Tara said raising an eyebrow. "Yes. Are you happy now?" I said and she was laughing. "Hey, I gotta go complete shooting, be back!" She said and left. I texted Marcus.
-Me: Where you at? I am bored.
-Marcus: I was on my way home. Where are you?
-Me: With Tara at a photoshoot.
-Marcus: I got you, send me the location.
-Me: Yaay!
I checked my social media waiting for Marcus. "Where's the food?" Marcus said from behind me. "Finally! I am so bored and Tara's photoshoot is taking forever. Here, got you some already." I said. "Aww. Thanks. I am so hungry." He said and I laughed. "Hey guys, what's up Marcus?" Tara said coming to us. "I called him when you took so long photo-shooting." I said. "I am done, I will change my clothes and be right back." She said. Me and Marcus chatted for a while then we laughed on something I don't remember what it was and one of the photographers said,"You two are so cute couples!" "Umm, Thank you. But we aren't couples." I said. "Why is everyone seeing us must call us couples?" I whispered to Marcus and he smiled. "I don't really think so. But hey, Can I take a couple of pictures of you two? I will send it to you by e-mail." He said. "Sure." Marcus said taking my hand. We took a couple of pictures,I don't know how I looked like. "Done! Let's go get you guys home." Tara said and she drove me and Marcus home.
*At Home*
"We are back!" I yelled. "There you are guys! We are going to Disneyland tomorrow, you better get some sleep." Jake said. "Okay." Me and Marcus said in sync. And we went to sleep. I woke up the next morning put on Dark grey sweater with jeans jacket, black leggings and white converse then went downstairs. "Morning. Everyone ready?" Alissa asked. "We will have breakfast and leave right away." Jake said.
*Skip ride*
"You look so excited. Is this your first time here?" I asked Marcus after we got our tickets. "I have been to Disneyland in Florida but never the one here." He said. "Interesting! I will be your guide then!" I said. "Sure thing." Marcus said in excitement and we went to play some games with the squad. We stopped to take some pictures and Celest appeared in sight. "You must be kidding me." I said in low voice. "Celest? Don't tell me this is a coincidence!" Alissa said as Celest approached us. "Oh no, Hailey told me you are here and I was free so I came. How are you guys doing? How are you Marcus?" Celest said. "I am good." Marcus said with a smile. Does she have to pop up everywhere we go? We were walking and Celest walked near Marcus. So near there hands are almost touching! And once in a while she looks at him and smiles so hard. I can't take this! I was in the back of the group so I left them and walked away. They won't notice my disappearance for a while. I can't stay with this Celest in one place for any longer!
*Marcus's prov*
Celest keeps trying to touch me, but I move away. I don't know why she's doing this but wherever I go she follows. "Mia, where are you taking me next?" I asked looking back at Mia but she wasn't there. "Mia?" I said. "Where did she go?" Alissa asked. I called her on the phone but she didn't answer. Where is she? I asked myself. "I will go look for her." I said. "I am coming with you!" Celest said. "No, I am going alone." I said and walked away. I don't know for how long I looked for her but I found her at the end. In front of the castle.
*Mia's prov*
"I have always wanted to be a king and live with my queen in a castle like this." Marcus said from behind. "I assume I walked away, which means I wanted to be alone." I said. "Away from me,too? Oh wait it's about Celest,isn't it?" He said. "Marcus I do understand she's your friend and the little sister of your best friend but I can't take it." I said and started crying. "Marcus I don't know about you but the way she looks at you, the way she acts when she's around you, everything she does to impress you breaks me from the inside. This ridiculous smile she smiles when you look at her! And I ca.." I said. Marcus pressed his lips into mine. Marcus is kissing me.
