Miraculously In Love

Chapter Five: Making It Work!

        After that misshap yesterday, all my classmates have been pestering me about how the kiss was. Well, except for Clovis,Adrienne, Rose and Sebastion. The cousins weren't interested in it, but I could see that they was something worrying them.
        Clovis and Sebastion didn't pester me because Clovis hated my gut, and Sebastion was his 'loyal servant' so he couldn't talk to me. The questions kept coming and coming, until I came to a point that I couldn't ignore them when the question came up.
        "Marin, what are you gonna do when she leaves?"someone asked. I couldn't help but frown. The truth was, I didn't know what to do if she left. I tried desperately to ignore the fact that she was leaving in a few days. I guess we would have to try and make it work.
          "Well...um...we were just going to make it work. I'll have to spend a lot of time with her before she leaves."I explained.
          "When will she be back?"asked Rose. Rose will be spending her next 2 years in our school, so she could graduate. So far she was able to keep up with the rest of the class. The girl wasn't only beautiful, she was educated too.
        "She'll be back in...4 years. Damnit! What have I gotten myself into!?"I yelled at no one in particular.
        "Four years? That's quite a long time."she reasurred me. Thanks Rose! I groaned and rested my head on the table.
        "I know it's a long time, Rose. But...I want to try and spend time with her. I have to."I sighed. As more questions started pouring in, the bell rang. FINALLY!
         Mrs. Rouse walked into the class and greeted everyone. But...she greeted me with more than a 'good morning'. "Marin! Um...sorry about yesterday. I didn't know you and your girlfriend were going to be there."she apologized.
          "No, no. It's just fine. I didn't know you were going to take everyone to see the cherry blossoms."I replied. She once again apologized and continued with the class. After school, Alain and I went to his house to play some video games.
         We played Mario kart, Pac- man, Injustice and Mortal Kombat. I spent a good few hours there. When I was about to leave, Alain stopped me. "Dude! I got the Ouija board! We gotta do it, man!"
         "I don't know...we can't do it ourselves. And we can't do it here."I objected.
         "Marin, we won't do it ourselves. Look, my cousins are coming to visit me. We could do it with them. Their interested. All you have to do is meet me here. My family and I are going to pick them up...if you want you can come. PLEASE!"
          How could I say no to him. "Fine. I'll come with you to pick them up and do the Ouija board. So don't leave me hanging."I said. Alain smiled. I could tell this meant a lot to him. Before I left, we discussed where we would be doing it.
        "It shall be done in the abandoned amusement park. At 3:00. So inform your mom and dad that you'd be spending the night with me. Got it?"he asked.
        "Got it."I confirmed. I left Alain's house and quickly returned home. There, I found Selena waiting for me.
       "Where have you been?!"she asked.
       "With my friend, Alain."I answered.
       "Okay. But, you have to take me out for ice cream."she said.
       "When?"I asked.
       "Now. Come on! I want to get myself a double chocolate chip swirl!"she explained, pulling me to the door. I laughed and we left for the ice cream store. It took 10 minutes, but we finally made it to the store.
        I wasn't surprised that Selena actually ordered a double chocolate chip swirl. I on the other hand, ordered a cotton candy flavoured ice cream, which turns your lip and tongue blue. While we were eating, Selena decided for us to take a picture together.
          I got a napkin and placed it between my top lip and nose and did the cooky eyes. Selena laughed at me as I took the picture. To remain funny, I kept the same face up and talked to her, trying not to loose it.
         "Are you going to miss this handsome face of mine?"I asked.
         "Yes...I will. I'll miss this face so much when I leave."and with that, tears welled up in her eyes. She began sobbing. I didn't know what to do. But I did know that she loves hugs. I hugged her tightly, like I would never let her go.
        I hate to admit it, but I was going to miss her. "Hey! Don't cry. You look pretty when you cry...but you look beautiful when you smile."I said, kissing her head, and using my thumb to wipe away her tears.
         She looked up at me and pulled me in for a kiss. After about...5 minutes, she ended the kiss. She looked at me and giggled. "Look what happened. Now my mouth is blue."she joked.
       "Sorry."I apologized. We both laughed and continued eating our ice cream. At some points, I was able to snatch a taste of Selena's ice cream. Every time I did, the girl got pissed.
         Finally, Selena got so mad, she grabbed my hair and pushed my face down in to my ice cream. "H-hey! What was that for!? Great! Now I have to clean my face!"I blew up.
         "Oh calm down. I'll help you clean it off."she said, with a devilish smile. For a few seconds, i didn't know what she meant. Then, she did something gross. She licked some of the ice cream off my face.
       "Yahhhhhhh!!!! GROSS SELENA!!!!" I yelled, disgusted.
       "Oh calm down-"
       "Stop saying to calm down! You weren't trying to help me clean my face! You were trying to gross me out! Great! I have another reason to wash my face!"I screamed.
        "Marin. We're a couple. You know. Lovers. There's nothing wrong with what I just did...because we're a couple."she said, matter of factly.
        "Yeah but... Normal couples don't do that."I said, frowning. She giggled, showing no sign of regret. What was up with that girl. She was acting strange. Well...I'll just have to get my mind off of it. Because, Alain and his cousins and I will be playing the Ouija board tomorrow.
          After we ate our ice cream, we left for the bakery, since Selena will be staying with us. Great!! And what's worst, it had photographers around. So I'm sure they took pictures of us. I spent the entire walk home, pouting and ignoring Selena, trying to make her feel guilty.
          In the end, I did make her feel guilty. She kept apologizing about her 'behavior' in the ice cream store. I couldn't help but forgive her because she was doing the puppy dog eyes. After we had dinner, we went to the living room to watch some TV.
       And so I thought, the photographers were taking pictures of us. There, posted big on the screen, on the news channel, was a picture of me and Selena. Kissing. All my friends are probably seeing this.
       My parents looked at Selena and I with approval. Ugh! Well. This is not how I imagined myself becoming famous. But, good news! There hasn't been an akuma attack yet. That's the only thing that is going good for me. I can't wait for tomorrow. Playing the Ouija board might be pretty fun.
