Love? Yeah Right! (Completed)

chapter One

Marley pov.

I trembled softly at the thought of highschool. Yeah, it was a mild transition, but I still didnt think I was prepared for it. Here I was, walking to the bus stop.

The bus took me straight to Oakridge​ High school and I was on my way. I could hardly remember middle school because it had gone by very quickly but, I had at least two friends, Kate and Malikai. When I headed into homeroom, suddenly my stomach flipped over.

There he was. Standing at the front of the class. The teacher stood and made announcements of which I no longer cared about. All through 8th grade I had been "training" myself not to care but he... He was different.

"Isn't Malikai soooo CUTE!!" A girl whispered. My heart stopped MALIKAI?! for a split second I almost puked in front of the whole class. No words could come out the whole hour as I sat in shock. Malikai had changed from a nerdy small kid to a handsome young man and I could no longer realize who I was looking at.

"This can't be right..that's not malikai..."I mumbled. There was no way that this was my friend from elementary school. No way.

Kate pov.
Third period felt years away as the clock ticked and tocked softly during math. Ugh why cant time go faster. After trying to solve the hardest problem ever, it was finally lunch time.

I searched everywhere for Marley put I couldn't see her anywhere. Finally I chose a seat to chill at when Marley came. "Hey how is your day so far?" I asked her.

"Horrible. I hate people" she retorted

"you always did" I teased.

"But what's wrong? Did some one do something to you?" I asked seriously. "My heart......"

"You got punched in the ribs? By who!" I exclaimed. "By malikai" she said sadly.

"Wait what." Suddenly I was confused.

"Okay seriously, what's wrong?" "It's.... Nevermind " she sighed.

"Okay but I'm here to help if you need anything." Why would she say malikai did something like that though? He's a twig!

I reached into my pocket to pull out my phone. I figured the school let you on it here unlike Elementary and middle School.

                                  I'm by the deli

Ok we will
Go there

                                             Hang on
Umm ok?

                   Ok now you can come, but              come quietly.

Okay....

I slipped my phone into my pocket

"Marley, malikai is at the deli. Wanna join us? there is still thirty minutes of break time so I figured we could hang out"

"I'm good" Marley grumbled.

"Okay, something Is seriously wrong." I was starting to get worried now.

"No just go, you will see when you get there. " She said.

"Okay.... See you later I guess." I looked around for the deli and headed to the far left corner where it stood. As I got closer, I saw a guy in a black hoodie. Probably a senior , I thought to myself.

"Ok here is the money, you got the stuff?" The hooded man reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, closed bag with little green things in it. WEED. I ran as fast as I could

"stop!!! That's not allowed!" I yelled across the room, the hooded man and the other 8th grader began to run towards the doors.

"Kate!" A small voice called. I turned my head for a second and the two men were gone. A handsome man with light shaggy hair came running up to me. His eyes glistened with kindness and he was definitely an athlete, because he came up to me unzipping his jacket to reveal his team jersey.

"Umm hi, who are you?" I began to blush uncontrollably. "You don't remember me?" His hazel eyes flickered.

"Im your 'lil bro' Malikai" he yipped alittle to resenbmble a guy I used to hang out with.

"Haha funny, but seriously, who are you and how do you know my name?" He made a face of offence, and I suddenly realized what Marley meant when she said he 'punched' her.

"Oh, umm hi... malikai" I mumbled. "Long time no see Kate" I smiled awkwardly.

"Hey Malikai, T-spence is already at the court, you playing today? " another freshman yelled from the sandwich truck.

"No, I'm busy" he shouted back. "Right, with your girlfriend I understand " he smiled and jogged out the doors to the court yard.

"Ugh. People sometimes" he turned back to me and stared straight into my eyes.

"Umm... hi?" I mummbled. Malikai looked away realizing how awkward he was being.

"So, how was your summer?" I asked trying to break the silence.

"It was okay, mostly just sports games and stuff" he replied.

"I can tell, since it is the first day of school and your already an athlete, is that even possible?" I realized how unrealistic that sounded.

"They did tryouts at the end of the summer and I got my acceptance note before school started so yeah, it kind of is" he began to kick the floor as he spoke.

"Are you okay?" I asked. He glanced up at a short blondey who was where his team Jersey as well.

"No. You have a crush on her don't you?" She walked away and Malikai gulped.

"Uhh... something like that." He blushed.

"So uhh.. are you thinking about dating any time soon? You probably have alot of people liking you already because your shape." He stared down at my chest. I blushed angrily.

"What does that supposed to mean?!" I slapped him right across the cheek.

"Ouch!! Ok I'm sorry that was way out out of line" he put his hand over his cheek.

"Hey... can I asked.. what happend?" He looked at me confused.

"What do you mean?" I thought for a bit. "I mean... last year you were... I dont know, girly" he stared at me, tilting his head.

"You mean, my interests don't you?" I nodded unwittingly.

"It's a long story, but let's just say I've grown up a bit. I don't care for much anymore, I guess you could say im... average.." he sighed.

"Don't think like that, your still Malika, and my Malikai is awesome." I smiled, and he finally looked up at me.

"Oh, why aren't you wearing your glasses?" He sighed again.

"I thought it wouldn't be cool" he admitted. "Oh Malikai your such a dork." He opened his mouth to defend himself, but was cut off by the bell.

"Well, see you later I guess" I waved and began walking away

"yeah see you".
