Code Of The Nerd

I Truly Missed Him

Not Edited

It is finally Summer Break!  I was thinking about going home, but I wanted to stay here.  I called my mom and Narh, telling them I would stay in France.  My mom is coming here in about three weeks to see my father's sister.  I will drive down there to see her and my aunt.  Narh's staying in New York.  He has a ton of work to do and has a job to maintain.  Liam is going over to Scotland with some friends.  Jazz is going to Marcus' and her's grandparents house.  Bentley will be spending time with Jacob.  Haylee never hangs around when Bentley is gone.  Kyle is going home.  Edward and Kendal are getting married soon, so he's busy.  Finally Vincent is staying, but going out clubbing and what not.  Marcus and I will be spending the three months together.  I wonder why Marcus didn't go with Jazz, but I kept my mouth shut.

I am reading the Harry Potter series again.  I love the books!  Plus, it was the only English book out here.  Even if I could read French, it gets tiring to always read.  Marcus was sitting across from me flipping through a book as well.  He is wearing a normal t-shirt, with blue shorts that went to his knees, and flip flops.  His hair was a mess and his glasses were low on his nose.  His eyes went back and fourth as he read.  

I closed my book and stretched out my limbs.  I'm ready to go do something, but I have no idea what, "You want to go to out for lunch?"

I shot my head to see Marcus getting up and stretching, his shirt ridding up a little.  He has abs.  Are all the guys in this school hot?  I turned away and stared at the floor, "Yeah."

Marcus drove me out to a sandwich shop.  It is pretty cute.  It is painted yellow and orange.  Maybe four people worked here and the employees seemed nice, "Un sous, s'il vous plaît. Avec des cornichons supplémentaires et pas de moutarde." ( A sub please. With extra pickles and no mustard.)

The man pointed to me, "BLT avec avocat." (BLT with Avocado).

Marcus paid, without my permission.  I think it's sweet he does that, but I have to admit, I would like to pay for something.  We sat down and ate our meal.  Marcus never really talked.  He is a talker near Jazz and Liam, but not with me. 

I unwrapped my sandwich and asked a question, "So is there a reason as to why you don't really talk to me?"  He looked up.  His face held a surprised expression.

Wiping his mouth he spoke, "Well since you and Liam are a thing.  I don't think it's appropriate to try and hit on you." My face went red.  He likes me and he thinks Liam and I are a thing!

"W-what?" I lost my appetite.

He raised a brow, "You and Liam.  Did I mess up?"

I nodded really quick.  I was so embarrassed.  I know that Liam held feelings for me, but I explained to him right now I only like Valfrid.  I let my eye roam the room, "I know he likes me but I don't hold the same feeling.  Also, I didn't know that you did as well."

"Well I guess this is awkward," we couldn't look at each other.  It was weird.  We continued with our meals and went back to the school.  I rang up Aramis and she gave me some advice.

"Girl, you should try to date Marcus!  I mean, he's cute, nice, funny, smart, great with kids, and patient.  Just try it!" I bit my lip.  Dating Marcus would make it a bit weird.  Marcus is best friends with Liam.  I wouldn't want to get them to fight.

"They're best friends," I whispered.

"Let them handle it," Aramis was annoyed that I wouldn't try to move on.  That my mind was set on Valfrid.  I was too.
