Escape // Marcus and Martinus Story ❤️❤️

Chp 20

As soon as the door closed shut behind me, it hit me that I had left my bra sprawled across the floor next to my bed. My face turned a shade of red as I barged past the two of them in an attempt to grab it before they realised. I don't think I did a very good job as I wasn't exactly subtle during my leap, as well as the fact that they both just awkwardly stood there, coughing to pretend that that didn't happen.

I pushed it underneath my bed as Harper face palmed herself and Martinus tried to change the subject.

Martinus : good music u got there.

Sydney : oh um thanks.

She awkwardly giggled as she turned the volume down slightly. What on earth are we supposed to do now. We had one of those extremely awkward silences that u see in films but never think to ever happen to yourself. I shuffled up off the floor and sat on my bed, scrambling around in my brain for questions or topics or anything at all that could possibly make this scenario less torturous.

Marcus : we were thinking tha-

Suddenly there was a banging on the door. We all jumped in fear.

Principal : dinner in 5 minutes, everyone meet in the corridor!

Harper : dammit I've not even done my hair!

Sydney : I could do pleats if u want?

Harper : yes!! Thank you so much!

She sat down next to her on the bed and began twisting and twirling her hair into amazing patterns. As you could probably figure out, I'm not good with hair. I can't even make a simple ponytail in my hair without missing a piece out.

Martinus was so fascinated by what Sydney was doing that he sat down next to her and watched her do it.

Seen as I was ready and didn't have anything else to do, I took my phone out from my pocket, unlocked it and stopped, realising that I had no real reason to go on my phone other than trying to get out of talking to Marcus Gunnarsen, who, by the way, stood at the other side of the room with his hands in his pockets, scanning the pictures on the wall.

As I scrolled through Instagram, not stopping to look at any posts, I, every so often, peered over the top of my screen to get another glance of him. What was I doing? Why couldn't I stop staring at him? I need to stop. I need to get my act together. I have a boyfriend.

Hour long minutes passed until another bang on the door interrupted us.

Principal : right everyone out in the corridor!

Harper's hair was finished and so we all grabbed our bags and headed out the room. Sydney opened the door and we all walked out to find most of our class standing out in the corridor ready to go to dinner.

Marcus and Martinus followed us out and I caught a glimpse of Claire's shock and jealousy from across the room.

Principal : finally girls! Oh Marcus and Martinus what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your class?

Marcus : oh em yeah we were just um you know just trying to um you know-

Martinus : I left something with Sydney, we were just coming to pick it up.

Marcus : em yeah that.

Principal : oh em well do you know where your teacher is?

Marcus : Mrs Stern?

Principal : eh yeah that one.

Martinus : probably at dinner already, why?

Principal : oh no I was just wondering, you know for your sake.
