can you see me? ///m.g

chapter 8~awkward

Emilies pov//

I didn't need an alarm to wake me this morning because I was already up and pacing around my room.

Martinus tried to kiss me yesterday. What does this even mean? Was it a friendly kiss? No there is no such thing! Wait does he like me also?

I felt myself getting extremely happy but then realized he ran out of my house really fast. Oh jeez I have to see him today...what do we say to each other?

Okay okay don't worry I'm sure it will be okay.

I resumed to getting ready and I was actually downstairs with ten minutes to spare. I grabbed an apple and a bagel because I would have time to eat it. Wow that's a first.

Ten minutes had passed and I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and saw Marcus. Where's Martinus?

Emilie-"Morning Marcus. Ready to go?"

Marcus-"Yes and I'm surprised you are so ready. Normally we have to drag you out of bed."

I laughed at that. I shut the door behind me saying goodbye to everyone and we started to walk.

Emilie-"Where's Martinus?"

Marcus-"Oh he left the house before I woke up."

Emilie-"Oh."

There was a little bit of awkward silence between us.

Marcus-"I know."

(at the same time Emilie says)

Emilie-"Do you know?"

We both laughed at that.

Emilie-"Okay so that answers that. Anyways did he say anything to you about it?"

Marcus-"No but he is confused about how he feels I think. Did he tell you he went to Justin's house and screamed in his face for you?"

I stopped walking and looked at Marcus with a serious face.

Emilie-"He did that!"

We started to walk again.

Marcus-"Yep and then Justin just kept saying how there is no way that Martinus doesn't like you and he was saying it was just that you guys were best friends and all. But then he tried to kiss you. I asked if he liked you and he got very defensive and said no."

Emilie-"Oh."

That kind of made me sad. Guess that answers that he doesnt like me back.

Marcus-"Don't worry Em he is just confused I think."

Emilie-"What do I even say to him when I see him?"

Marcus-"Just act like normal."

I smiled. Right. I mean that's true I just have to act normal.

Emilie-"Thanks Marcus."

Marcus-"Your welcome. Now I need your help."

Emilie-"Emilie James at your service. How may I help you?"

We both started to laugh.

Marcus-"I want to ask Cece out."

I squealed with excitement.

Marcus-"I know I know but I'm really nervous and I don't know what I should do."

Emilie-"Don't do anything crazy because she is simple and trust me likes you for you. Maybe you can take her to a football game of some sort. I know how much you guys like that."
