The Long Journey Of Being Unwanted {Editing}

Mark

"MARK!!" My mom yells to wake me up. 

"Huh?" I say, rubbing my eyes. 

"Bree's here." She says. Me and Bree have been really close lately. No, I haven't kissed her yet. I would have a long time ago. She has a thing for Jaxson. My crush on her has just grown bigger and bigger. 

"I'm coming in!" Bree says walking in. 

"Hey what if I was naked." I say laughing. 

"My eyes are closed idiot." She says laughing. 

"I'm not naked. You can open your eyes." I say with a laugh. 

"Your shirtless that counts as naked." She says covering her eyes. I pull her into a hug. 

"EWWW!!!!" She says, she moves around and then hugs me back. I kiss the top of her forehead. 

"Change into clothes fast we got school." She says with a laugh. I go into a bathroom with a Nike hoodie and black skinny jeans. I come out dressed. 

"Boy you looking hot." She says laughing. 

"You think I'm cute." I say. 

"Maybe." She says rolling her eyes. 

"No lies." I say. 

"Yeah. I think you're cute." I could feel my cheeks burn and I can tell I'm blushing. 

"Aww. Does little Markie have a crush on me?" 

"Yeah I do." I say. She just looks at me. 

"Okay lets go." She says. She holds out her hand and I grab it. 

"I love you." I say. 

"I love you too." She says. 

"No.. I really love you. Like a sister. No like a girlfriend." I say. I stop and just look at her. She turns and looks at me too. Then she kisses me. I pull away after a while. 

"What was that for?" I ask. 

"Nothing." I say. Then she grabs my hand and pulls me out the door. 

"Oh come on.. You kissed me because?" I ask. 

"I like you Mark. Always have, always will." She said. 

"Well.." I say stopping her. 

"Breeland will you be my girlfriend?" 

"First, Don't call me Breeland. Second, I'll think about it." She says with a laugh. 

"Oh come on." I say. 

"Fine, You want an answer?" She asks. 

"Please." I say. She stops walking and kisses me again. Then she pulls away and runs to the school. 

"Was that a yes?" I ask. I run to catch up with her. 

"Yes that was a yes." She says. I have a short party session. 

"Oh come on!" She says. 

"Fine. No partying. Anyway so when is your next competition?" I ask. 

 "Today after school for dance and then tomorrow for gymnastics." She says with a smile. 

"Can I come?" I ask. 

"Why? Do you want to see me in a bra and shorts dancing around like an idiot with my ex-boyfriend?" I ask. 

"Come on I want to go." I say pulling her into a hug. 

"Of course you can come." She says. We walk into school hand in hand. 

"Aww. The nerd with the geek." Alexa says. 

"Shut up Alexa." I say putting my arm around her. 

"How cute. Nerd love." She says coming closer. 

"Alexa stop please." I say. 

"Why? Your girlfriend can't take a punch?" She asks. Then she swings at Bree. She does a back tuck and dodges it. 

"Wow!" Alexia's friends say in amazement. 

"Stop!" Alexa says.

Bree

Alexa tries to punch me again. This time I let her. 

"BREE!" Mark says rushing to my side. 

"Give it up Mark. She's not worth it. Come back with me." She says. After that it went dark. I could hear everything. 

"BREE!!" Mark yelled. I could tell he was crying. I felt someone pick me up. Then they ran me to the nurse's office. 

"She'll be fine." The nurse said. 

"Are you sure?" A crying Mark said. 

"I'm positive. She just needs some rest." She says. 

 "Can... Can I st-stay with her." He asks. 

"Yes." She said. Then I feel a hand hold mine. 

"I love you Breeland." He says. I slap him. 

"Don't call me Breeland." I say with a laugh. 

"You're okay." He says with a smile. 

"Of course I wasn't dying." I say pulling him into a hug. 

" I know. I just.." 

"Care. You care about me." I say with a laugh. 

"Yeah. I care about you a lot." I say. By the time I was ready to leave it was the end of the day. I slept through the whole day. 

"Are you going to be able to dance?" He asks. 

"Yeah. I'll be fine." I say. Then we walk home. 

"So when is the competition?" He asked. 

"5:00." I say. When I get home I sleep. I have an alarm set for 4:30. So I'll be up in time. Mark went home. Before I knew it I was asleep.
