Finding Love (Jean X Marco)

Friends

JEAN'S POV
       Beep..Beep..Beep..Beep
"Why, just why" shaking my head. I turn off the alarm on my phone. I put on some loose jeans and a t-shirt I found on the floor. I started laughing, I have no clue why but probably because of how messy my room was. I go down stairs and skip breakfast because I was running a little late. I put my vans on and walk out the door. "Wait Jean, don't leave without me!" My sister said. "I opened the door back up and yell "hurry up!" She yelled back "OKAY! I'm coming" I get in the car to start it because it was a little chilly outside from the fall weather. "It would have been smart to grab a jacket" Star said while jumping in the car. "Whatever Star" I say. She rolls her eyes at me as I do the same mocking her. Almost at school Star talks again "So are you trying out for soccer tonight?" She said. "Yea I am, you're going to have to take the bus again." While arriving at school she says "Ugh, fine, thanks for the ride today." I just shook my head "yea" at her.

MARCO'S POV
       I was out in the hallway talking to Sasha about school and the new kid. "How was your day with the new kid yesterday at your house." Sasha said. "It was fun, we watched a movie, I think I'm going to ask him to hangout tonight after soccer practice." I said while smiling at her. "Oooh, does Marco have a crush" she said while poking me. "I don't know, maybe" I said quietly. "What was that, Oh Marco's got a crush, Marco's got a crush!" Sasha sang in a little song. "Really Sasha I do not need the whole entire world knowing plus he doesn't even know I'm gay" I said disappointedly. "I'm sure he likes you Marco. Even if it's not that kind of way, who couldn't like you anyways." Sasha was being really nice today for some unknown reason. Then the bell rang and we had to leave for our classes. Sasha said bye, have a good day while winking at me. I said thanks, you too before she disappeared into the crowd of people.

JEAN'S POV
I tried my best not to "disrespect" Mr.Levi in class even though he was being rude to me today. After school I went to change into gym shorts and a shirt to try out for soccer. Heading to the soccer field I noticed someone familiar. It was Marco! At least I was not alone. I should have expected him to play soccer, his tall, lean, ho... umm never mind. I ran up to him "Hi, Marco." "Hi! Jean I didn't know you were trying out today." He said. "Yea my dad wanted me to do something so I'm doing this." The coach then walked up and said our names and we all said here. He walked up to me and started talking."You're the new try out, don't think it will be easy." I said, "I do not expect it to be, Mr.Frost" "Okay good" he said. "Now run 4 laps, all of you!" I was running with Marco the whole time while trying to breathe steady. We both stayed in the middle of line. Finally we both finished running. After, the coach told us to do lunges across half of the field and then come back and do 50 squats, 20 push-ups, and 50 sit-ups. Marco still stayed along with me. In the middle of the sit-ups he said "Are you loving soccer already" in a sarcastic way. I laughed and said "As long as I get to play, it should be okay." "Yea, what position do you want to play?" He said. I said, "Goalie, what position do you play?" He said "Any type of midfielder, hopefully center." "Oh yea, that's cool." I mean I could never play center, too much running for me. Then everyone got up and the coach explained drills for us to do. I did good on all of them and Marco was really good. Mr.Frost asked me what position too. He let me try out for goalie. He let everyone kick the soccer ball to make a goal and I blocked them all. The coach seemed surprised so maybe I will make it in. After practice Marco came up to me, he looked a little nervous.

MARCO'S POV
      I was a little nervous asking Jean to hangout, you could probably see it. "Hey, Jean do you wanna come over to my house?" I asked shyly. He said, "Yea sure, I have to go home and take a shower but I'll be over around 6." Oh thank god he said yes or that would have been embarrassing. I said "Okay, see you then!" I drove home and quickly got in the shower, got dressed into shorts and a shirt, and blow dried my hair before I heard a knock at my door. I opened it to see Jean with damp hair and the same outfit he had on earlier at school. I told him to come in which he did and my mom said hi right before we went to the basement. I had a Xbox 360 and PS4 but only the Xbox was hooked up. "What do you wanna play?" I asked him. He said "left4dead." "Okay good because it's my favorite" I said. He said, "Me too" while looking and smiling at me. That kind of made my face go red because I don't think I've seen him smile. He put the game in and brought me a control and I said thanks. We then started playing the game. I kept yelling at him because he took all the kills. "It's not my fault you're bad" he said. I said "Hey! I'm not that bad, you're just really good." He said "If you say so." I was having a really good time I forgot to ask if he ate and checked the time. It was around 7:30.

JEAN'S POV
"Jean, do you want anything to eat?" Marco said looking at me with that same bright smile. "Sure" I said. We both went upstairs and ate some fries. We drank Dr.Pepper, which is my favorite drink. Then we were going back downstairs but I tripped and fell. Marco turned around and came over next to me "Are you okay?" I started laughing "Ow, yea I'm fine" I hit the side of my rib off the railing and corner. Marco was still worried which made him look kind of cute?umm weird. "Are you sure?" I mean it wasn't that bad but thanks for caring, I thought. "Yea, I hit my rib but I'm good" Marco then pulled my shirt up to see. "Oh my gosh, you are such a liar Jean you have a big black and blue mark." Marco then took my entire shirt off and brought me upstairs. "I'll get you an ice pack" he said. I said thank you. When upstairs he wrapped the ice pack in a paper towel. He then started touching the black and blue mark which gave me goosebumps and hurt. "That hurts a lot" I said. He said, "Yea it's really swollen you might have bruised the bone or broke it." "Hey your are no doctor." I said. "Yea well just looking out for you, I do suggest seeing a doctor if it doesn't go away in the next week." He then put the ice pack on my upper right side which felt so good, the ice pack. I then took it from him. I started laughing again even though it hurt. Kind of wanted to fill this awkward silence so I started talking again, "So Marco do you wanna be a doctor someday." "I don't know, maybe a physical therapist if I don't do good in soccer, what do you want to be?" I said, "Same about the soccer and I would want to be FBI or something like that." "That's dangerous" Marco said. There he goes again with that worried look. "Yea but it would be fun." He said "I guess". I looked at the clock 8:15 "Oh shoot I should probably leave, I have an early bed time."

MARCO'S POV
I was sad that he was leaving and also sad that maybe he was putting his shirt back on. "Oh, okay bye" I said. Jean said "I'll see if I can come tomorrow if that's okay with you." I smiled, happy again. "Okay, feel better." I said. "Thank you!" Jean said while walking out the door. Anytime Jean, I thought to myself.
That was one of the best nights I had in a while.

JEAN'S POV
I grab an ice pack out of my fridge and head to my room to change. I brush my teeth and then went to my bed. I lay on my bed, staring at the wall.
I haven't felt that happy since mom died. I can't wait for tomorrow.
