Will it work?

Chapter 1

"Marcus its already 9 in the morning! Wake the f*ck up! or you'll be late for your presentation!" I hate it whenever I have to wake him up. He's such a sleepy-head.

"Ugh! Five more minutes, Ali!"

It was Monday, the day of our Finals. The most Stressful day in my entire senior year.

"Damn it Marcus! if you're still not gonna get up i'm going to leave for school already. I have to pass my thesis later you dumbyhead!"

And so he got up and went straight to the bathroom to get himself cleaned up. When he finally came out of the bathroom, I grabbed him by the arm and we both headed downstairs to the kitchen to grab a sandwich that my mom prepared for us before she went to work. But because we were late, we had no time to sit and eat, so we brought the sandwich to the car and ate it while I drove to school. Marcus slept over so that I could help him with his presentation because he was cramming, once again.

By the time we reached the school, first period was already over. But luckily for us, our presentation wasn't until after lunch.

"Hey Ali, Wanna kiss me good bye?" Marcus asked with a wink. He's such a retard.

"Of course... not. Anyways,Marcus I have to go and meet up with Cheryl at our Advanced Algebra Class. I'll see you later at lunch." And I waved him goodbye as I fast walked. Cheryl is my other best friend. She's the most trust-worthy person I know. Plus she's not plastic.

Advanced algebra is actually my fave subject. And that's because I'm a bit of a nerd.

It was lunch time.

"Ali! I'm over here!" shouted Marcus from the table he was on.

Along with Marcus was Sean, his cousin, he's in his sophomore year and was just a transfer student from Staten island.

I walked over to the table they were on and realized that Marcus had already bought me lunch.

"Yes Ali, that's yours. Now come and sit with us already so that you could eat this blueberry muffin that I asked my mom to make for you."

"Wait! you were at my house the whole night. How'd you get it from your house?"

"I texted Sean last night, asking him if he could pass by my house before he comes here."

I tackled Marcus and gave him the tightest bear hug that i could give

"Thank you! thank you! You know how much i love Sandra's blueberry muffin!" and gave him a peck on the cheek

"These muffins are divine!" I managed to say as i devoured the muffins.

"Hey thanks Sean!"

and they both laughed at me

"Ali, you look like a squirrel with those big cheeks of yours!" Sean said trying to control his laughter, while Marcus was just laughing hysterically. That retard.

He looks so cute whenever he laughs like that. Wait. No he doesn't.

Lunch was already over and it was time for us to present our Thesis presentation.

But because we still had 10 minutes left before 3rd period starts, I decided to go to Cheryl's locker guessing that she was there already.

But as i was walking through the hallways, I noticed that there was a noise coming from the janitor's closet. So I walked over and as I was nearing that room, what i saw disappointed me and I don't know why but I felt hurt, and betrayed but most of all, I felt jealous. But why? I never liked him that way. And I already knew that Cheryl had a crush on him. I mean who wouldn't? He looks like a GQ model. He's built, good looking and smart. But he was a player. He knew Cheryl liked him, maybe that's why he was making out with her. Because the thing is, whenever he sees a girl with a pretty face and a great body he instantly hits on her.
