Been There All Along

Ignoring this much calls should be a crime.I turned my phone on silent and watched as the waves crashed to the shore.It was getting brezzy I zipped up my sweater and looked at my IPod there was no point in bringing it,I would pick listening to the water than those love songs on my IPod anyday."Marissa where have you been!" I looked up and saw my best friend Samuel,I knew this kid since 3rd grade. I started tearing he sat next to me and said "Don't cry he isn't worth it" "But he cheated on me,what is it am I not good enough?" he sighed "Your amazing,beautiful stunning,talented,I would go on but I have to take you home" "Say more" I said sticking my tongue out,he smiled "Just stop crying" he wiped the tears and I smiled.We walked to his car."Do we have to go home?"I asked putting my head on the window.He looked at me and picked up his eyebrows "What's your plan?" "I dunno,the gym?" He looked at me like I had three heads.I started laughing than he said "We cant go to the gym like this!" "Why not?" "Its 7pm and I am in no mood to sweat" "Please" I put my puppy dog face and said "I don't want to go home and hear my mom yell at me....not yet" "But Mar-" "Samuel Peter Larsen Acosta please!" He rolled his eyes "Promise to never say my whole goverment again" I lauged and promised "Ok we'll go to the gym" When we got there he went to the bench and I followed,he looked at me "Go work out" I started laughing "Me?Work out?" I started laughing harder he rolled his eyes.I walked to the bike and pedaled for about a hour.Samuel came up to me sweat dripping from his forehead "Can we go home now"I got off the bike and felt better.Exercising was my big carton of ice cream.Sam drived me home and looked at my door "Good luck" he said patting my back."I'll call you if I'm still alive" I said getting out the car.He drove off and I sighed and opened my door "I'm home" my mom ran to me "Marissa Alyce Marie Von Bleicken,I was worried sick" I rolled my eyes "Im sorry" she took off her gloves and than said "All for a boy!" "Who broke my heart mom!" "So you go missing?,go up to your room" I went up and took a shower,I layed down and went on a web chat.Sam was on "Sam,she yelled at me" "But your still breathing" "I know I was shocked" "Guess what!" "What?" "I asked out Lindsay" "What did she say?" "Yes!" "OHMIGOSH" "I know..Im just kidding" he said I made a face "How dare you tease me" "Lindsay isn't my type" "I know your type is a girl who loves music,doesnt have a care in the world and loves dreds!" he smiled "You know me so well" "I bet you don't know me!" "Oh really,you want a guy who could sing and is always by your side,even on your worst days" I smiled "Ah Sam don't I love you" He smiled "Love you too,so when are we beating up Bryce?" I rolled my eyes "No need" "Why?" "I'm going to be the bigger person" he gasped "Marissa big?" I rolled my eyes "Shut up" he laughed.

Me and Samuel walked into school talking than he saw one of his friends,I was alone trying to avolid Bryce.But of course he found me."Marissa!Can we talk?"I rolled my eyes "What Bryce?" "I still love you cheating on you was a horrible thing" I looked around for help no mood for bullshit "Please one more chance?" Than a kid came from behind me "Ready babe?" I looked up at him and never seen him in my life tall with glasses I smiled "Of course" we started walking and than Bryce yelled "Really leave me for him!" We stopped at a corner "My name is Cameron" he said smiling "Why save me?" "You looked like you were going to cry" "Thanks" "Marissa right?" "Thats it" "He looks like a jerk why date him" "He is popular and he said all the right things" "I hate guys like that" "Not girls,are you new?" "Yeah just came from Texas" "You seem like the type" "Whats that suppose to mean?" he asked picking up his eyebrows "Guys from Texas are cute" he smiled "So,Im cute?" "I never said that!" than I walked away "See you around Marissa!"I didnt look back.I walked into class I sat next to Lindsay my best friend since diapers."Morning Marissa" "Lindsay"I said smiling."You speak to Bryce?" "He wanted to talk but when he asked me out this kid Cameron came to the rescue" "Cameron?" "Tall glasses light hair green eyes?" "Oh Texas Cameron?" "That's him" "Do you like him?" "Not my type" "You and your type!" I looked down smiling,it was true not even Bryce was my type,see where that got me. "What are you doing after school?" "Probably hang out with Sam,why?" "I want to go to that The Glee Club Audtions!" "Why?" "Cause Im a good singer,and so are you,and so is Sam!" "We'll probably get it" "Exactly,so how about it?" "Sure" "Yay"."Samuel!" I screamed running to him "Que?" "Audtion for the glee club "Nah not my thing" I rolled my eyes "Why?" "I want to do other things,like be in a band!" "You're right,I don't want to do it either now" "Why do it in the first place?" "Lindsay went inside my head and convinced me" "Lindsay is obviously going to make it""I know,she'll probably meet her Mr.Right there" "Have you found your Mr.Right?" "Of course not" "Dont worry you have me" he grabbed my shoulder as we walked "Oh yay" "I love your sarcasm"

"Lindsay,Im happy for you!" I said smiling "I wish you would have signed up with me" "Not my thing" "It is your thing!" "But more your thing" "Of course" "What's the point of that?" "Singing" "Any cute guys?" "Not your type" she said sarcastically I rolled my eyes "Of course"Than a kid walked up to Lindsay "Top of the moring to you" he smiled and Lindsay's face got red.I don't think Lindsay noticed "This is Damian,Damian Marissa" I smiled "Hello" he smiled "Where have you been beautiful?" I looked down Lindsay smiled "Great,guys talk!" she ran off I looked at her "I think this was planned" I said,yeah he was cute."No idea" "So lets talk" "Im Damian you already know that,I am Irish,you must have known that too my accent and stuff" I smiled "Im irish too and german" "I wouldve guessed you color hair and stuff" we talked for maybe a hour exchanged numbers and even planned on hanging out.I called Lindsay "Why Lins why!" "Why what?" "Why him he is cute but not for me!" "Oh my god" "Im serious" "Mars just give him a chance" "I dont want to!" "Why not,you have trust issues?" "Not that!" "Than what!" "He's not the one" "No one is" "I don't mean it like that" "Your beautiful,don't let Bryce bring you down!" "Love you" "Love you too" I hung up and bumped into Sam "You look lost" he said "Well maybe" "Tell me?" he walked to the car "Well Lindsay tried to hook me up with her friend Damian" "And?" "She got mad cause I said he wasn't for me" "I see" "No you don't you bag girls everyday like its a hobby" he smiled looking proud of himself "But I never make it official" "Cause your a dick" "No cause their not the one" I looked at him and he looked down."Watch us both be single forever" he laughed "I so see that in our future" "We'll live with 5 cats together" I started laughing "Yes!" he shook his head "Lets not think like that,one day we will find our soul mate" "Maybe we already did!" he nodded "That is so true" he drove me home.I loved talking to him he made me feel less forever alone.

I was at my locker and Damian came up to me "I forgot to give you this,it was a rose" I took it from him "Thanks" "So were still on for tonight?" "Sure" he smiled and kissed my cheek "See you around" he walked away I opened my locker and than I heard Samuel "Who gave you the rose?" he took it from my hand and smelled it "Real" I rolled my eyes "That kid Damian" "Aww how sweet" he gave it back to me and walked away.I put it in my locker maybe I should give him a chance.I slamed my locker and walked to class.I sat next to Lindsay "So,you and Damian?" "What about him?" "Are you guys hitting it off?" I shurgged my shoulders.she groaned "Marissa stop teasing me!" the teacher looked at us "Shh!" he said she than whispered "please" I put my fingers to her lips and she bit it.After class I seen Damian "What time beautiful?" he asked walking to me "8?" "Sounds perfect" he smiled and skipped away.I couldnt help but smile.I walked home.I took a shower and got ready,around 8 I heard my mom yell "Marissa theres a very attractive boy at the door" I went downstairs I saw Damian's eyes open big "Unreal stunning" I smiled and he grabbed my hand my mom than yelled "Be home by 1!" he looked at me and samiled "Let's be rebels and drop you off at 1:01" I started laughing "Sounds like a plan" he started driving.He stopped at the beach he had a picnic ready he sat down and gave me a blanket "Here take it its gets brezzy" I smiled and cuddled into the blanket.He passed me the potato salad and he poured me some juice.We talked and talked.He than fed me some soup his mom made.I than got up and kicked some sand on him "That was on purpose!" I gasped "no it wasn't!" he got up and chased me I started running and he caught me and twirled me around.After the picnic we where in front of my house in the car "I had a great time" I said smiling he looked at me "I thought you werent going to show,you are Marissa" "Whats that suppose to mean?" "You dated Bryce,and your stunning" I blushed "Thanks" he looked at me and leaned in,he kissed me.He pulled away and smiled "Its 11:01" I ran out.He looked at me and said "See you around beautiful" he drove off.I went inside my house,"So how was the date?" my mom asked "It wasnt a date" "Kiss him?" I ran up stairs "Ma,he isnt my type!" I slammed the door."Marissa!" I heard out my window I saw my best friend out the window "Samuel?" "Yeah" "What?" "How was your date?" "Good" "Kiss him?" "Yeah" "Good kisser?" "Soft lips but it was quick" "My lips are probably softer!" "I'll ask every girl in the school" he started laughing "Youre a funny girl" he than left.Lindsay would be happy.
