i want you // marcus gunnarsen

24

it's finally lunch break. i haven't seen madison all day, maybe because we don't have any classes together today.

i sit down next to martinus and start eating my food. i don't feel like eating so i drop my fork and push the tray away.

"marcus come on, you knew what was going on, you can't be so depressed over that." martinus says and i give him a murderous look.

"at least you can go over and talk with your girlfriend in school, you can hold her hand and kiss her. i can't even talk to the girl i like." i say.

"you'll get there, marcus. if she likes you enough she'll stop caring about her friends' opinions and focuses on you." martinus says patting my back.

i didn't see madison during the whole day yesterday. i think she was avoiding me, and if she was, she succeeded pretty well.

i drive to the school's parking lot and step out of my car. i can see emilia getting out of her car and i wave at her. she waves back and then walks to the other side of the car.

madison steps out of the car while emilia is telling her something. maddie glances over and when she sees me she quickly turns back to her friend.

they start walking inside and i quickly run up to them.

"hey, madison. can we talk?" i ask when we walk through the doors.

"umm sure, what's up?" she says. emilia leaves and goes over to some people.

"is everything okay between us? i don't want you to be upset or anything." i ask and turn to her.

"yes, of course. but i think should go now." she says glancing over to her friends.

"please, be with me. for once." i say practically begging.

"haven't we been over this like a hundred times?" she says.

"yea, sorry. i guess you just don't like me enough to stop caring about your friends' opinions." i mumble and walk away from her.

"marcus, you have no idea how much i like you and wanna be with you, but i don't wanna be that girl who didn't care about her friend and stole her crush." she says grabbing my arm so i can't leave.

"madison, everyone is watching." i turn back to her.

"it's fine, i don't care. let everyone know that i like you. i like you, marcus gunnarsen." she says throwing her hands in the air.

i bite my lip and look at her. then i put my hands on her cheeks and kiss her. in the middle of the hallway, while everyone is looking.

even that friend who she was trying so hard to hide all this from.
