Escape // Marcus and Martinus Story ❤️❤️

Chp 3

As soon as the bell went I bolted passed every single person and out of the class, heading to Sydney's classroom. I waited outside patiently as the crowds of pupils left her class one by one. Syd just so happened to be the last out.

But when she did come out I knew exactly if she got in or not by her face.

Sydney : god please tell me you got in too?!

I waited for dramatic effect and also to annoy her before jumping up and down, nodding.

Sydney : I'm so happy!!

Sam : same!

We both jumped around squealing like a pair of five years olds for over a minute before Harper walked over, looking not quite as happy as the two of us.

Sydney : omg Harper I'm so sorry.

Sam : We can drop out if you want us too.

Harper : I mean you can if you want but I'm heading to Croatia!!!

Sam : wait you got in!!

Harper : hell yeah I got in!

We all jumped about together.

Sydney : I mean I know you're into acting and all but please don't use it on us, it's confusing.

Harper : I'll try not to from now on.

We all laughed.

Harper : I can't believe you guys were actually willing to drop out though.

Sam : I was never actually going to, I just thought it'd make you feel better.

Harper : oh, I was just about to say what good friends I have but never mind.

We all laughed once more before rhyming off what we were planning on taking. I drifted off as I noticed Joel talking to his friends by the lockers. He didn't seem happy.

Sam : I'll be back in a minute.

Sydney : oh ok.

I wandered over to where he was stood and as soon as he saw me he lifted his back off of the locker and focused his eyes on mine. His friends walked away when they saw me coming.

Joel : did you get in?

Sam : ...yeah, what about you?

He turned around, aggressively, and punched the locker with his hand. I jumped.

Sam : it's not that big of a deal.

Joel : Sam, this was gonna be the perfect trip and now it's ruined!

Sam : I told you not to get your hopes up.

Joel : yeah, well I did.

He folded his arms in frustration.

Sam : What do you want me to do?

Joel : don't go! Drop out!

I stood there for a moment thinking about what he just said. I didn't want to drop out. Of course I was sad that he couldn't go but this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I don't wanna throw that away. But I also didn't want to hurt him.

Sam : I-I'll think about it.

Joel : why do you need to think?!? Are you actually considering going without me?

Sam : no I was just-

Joel : you better not!

He turned and marched away. I sighed to myself. What was I gonna do? If I go on this trip it could be the best experience of my life. I just didn't want Joel to be upset.
