Oh Marcel

chapter 15

As I got my belongings together at my locker I saw Scalett coming my way.  Although this time she was not alone.  The girl by her side was very pretty, she had her hair down and curled.  She was wearing black skinny jeans, a gray crop top, and black Vans.  

" Hey Marcel so you leavin?" Scarett asked. 

" Yeah, I am. Ah who's this?" I asked curiosly. 

" Oh yeah I almost forgot Marcel this is Emilie, Emilie Marcel," She introduced.  Emilie smiled politly and looked down at her feet.  I stopped packing up and all three of us stood there in an awkward silence.  " Do you have homework?" Scarlett asked looking at my backpack. 

" Oh sort of um nothing that will take forever.  So what do you wanna do?" I asked trying to change the subject.  

" I was woundering if you two wanted to come over watch a movie.  We just got this new TV so yeah," my friend trailed off.  I nodded my head a bit, which signafied that I wanted to hang out.  Emilie didn't say anything so I guessed they had already talked about the idea.  "Emilie doesn't have the rest of the day off so at around four, ok?" I didn't have to say anything because my best friend could tell what I was thinking.  I threw my backpack over my shoulder and walked with Scarlett out to our cars.  

" Marcel." 

" Yeah." I replied. 

" Um, can I drive with you, I'll pick it up later," Scarlett asked nervously.  I threw my backpack in the boot of the car. 

" Oh yeah thats, thats ok," I agreed.  

She hopped into the passangers seat.  We both buckled up and I turned on the radio.  I pulled out of the parking spot.  She looked very off and not as bubbly and usual.  I was starting to wonder, because this didn't feel normal.  I was just about to speak when she cut off my thoughts. 

" Marcel, I've been talking to someone and I don't know what you'll say if I tell you," she confessed. 

" Well neither am I unlessyou ask." 

" I've been talking to Tom," she said quietly staring at her phone.

" Grand," I said sacasicly.  

" Marcel..." She sighed. 

" Ok listen if you like him than you do, I can't change that.  You haven't dated anyone in a whilst." 

" Really your gonna be supportive.  Do you remember what he did to you last year?"

" Well yeah, how can I forget, but if you like him it wouldn't be right to make you chose." We stared at each other for a few seconds, then I tried to concentrate on the road.  Truth is I didn't want her to date some one like Tom.  Last year he did unexplainable things to me.  For instance he did the classic lock the nerd in the locker, and stole my clothes, ect.  Anyways Scarlett deserved so much better.  Although everything I said to her was true.  I can't tell her not to fall in love, and I can't tell her to do anything.  

As we drove through the neihborhoods the houses were getting more and more familiar.  As we approached my home I pulled into my drive way.  

" Hey, Scar you alright," I asked. 

" Yeah I'm, I'm fine.  Your just the best friend I have ever had," she said.  I could hear the saddness in her voice.  

" I know," I laughed and opened up the door.  

We walked into my housse and everything was still normal.  Mum wasn't home and everything was in order.  Scarlett dropped her bag in front of the door and rushed over to the couch.  Sitting on the sofa was my cat Molly.  Scarlett picked her up and started petting her. 

" I remember when we first got her and you were the first one I told," I said as I grabbed two water bottles. 

" Oh yeah. God we were so young.  Molly was just a little kitten," Scarlett said as she turned on the televsion. 

" My father wants to see me soon," I spit out. She dropped the remote and her jaw literally dropped.  

" Wait, what.  Your gonna what. He's such an..." 

" Say it," I pleaded. 

" I can't its mean."

" Say it who really cares." 

" He's such a fucking asshole.  He doesn't care.  You can't see him.  I'm mean do you remember what my dad did to me.  There like the same personalities!" She freaked. 

" I know," I agreed, because quite frankly I can't top that. 

" Your not seeing him I forbid it." 

" I have to its court ordered." 

" Well I'm coming with you," She said.

" Oh no your not.  I'm going by myself," I dissagreed with her.

" Hells yeah I am.  You went with me to my hideous father's house." 

" Exactly, and you just said they have almost the same personalities, and I am not going to put you through it," I argued. 

" Well to bad last time I checked you were my best friend, So you don't have a choice. Now drop it," she snapped and I did. We stared watching an old episode of Glee, and Molly hopped back onto Scarlett's lap.
