Damn! I'm Speechless! (Short Story)

Sixth Part

Shiela

It was snacks time. Mark was trying to talk to me. What  I did was ignore. I still can't get over what he did. 

-Flashback-

"Listen, doing these things for me won't let me fall for you. I don't like you. And I never will. You have no chance with me. So can you go away?"

 It was so painful as he said those words in front of me. After that, I left. I went back to school. Althea was so worried when I went back.

"Do you know how worried we are? Where were you?" She told me. I didn't talk but I cried. She asked me, "Why? What's wrong?" Glen came, "What happened? Where were you?" Then Glen hugged me. I cried harder. "What happened Shiela? Where were you?" 

"I went to Mark's house. He confessed. I must go away from him." I cried harder. "He said he'll never fall for me. He doesn't like me. I have no chance with him." 

Glen pulled me slowly, "Hey. We're here. I'm here for you." He hugged me again. 

-End of Flashback-

I was so hurt that I cried so hard for two days and today, I was relieved till he came again. I hate this fate. But I never thought he couldn't smile today. 

By lunch, I was eating with my friends when suddenly Mark grabbed Althea outside. I admit, I was Jealous. They were talking.

Althea came in with a big smile. And I saw Mark smiling too. The two of them are smiling. I'm jealous. 

"What did he say?"

"Uhm Oh? What? Mark? Uh for group project."

"Do we even have a group project?"

"What? Don't mind." And Althea is still smiling. I'm pissed. 

After Lunch, I went to the library alone. Althea went the canteen with Glen, Glenda, and Angelou. They just left me alone. Then when I was reading my book, someone hit me in the head with a paper plane. It said, "Just wait. Don't lose hope. Today's the day. Today's The time. I'll never turn back. Just don't turn back too." I look at the back to check who was that. I can see no one. To whoever did this, this kid gone insane. 

The bell rang. I went back to the classroom. I saw Althea, Glenda, Angelou, & Glen hanging out with Mark. How in the world? I stayed silent as they hang out. How dare you, Mark.

The time before dismissal, they were all playing tag. I just read my book. Then suddenly Mark grabbed my arm and wrote something. I looked at him because he wrote it with a permanent marker. He winked and smiled and ran. How dare he. It said, "It's time. Go downstairs."  Then Althea grabbed me. 

"What in the world?"

"Just come."

"No." I said and looked at my book again. Glenda grabbed my other hand. 

Glenda said, "Now get your butt up and let's go."

"No." And then Glen carried me bridal style. 

"You must go. It's your day today."

"Oh really, Glen. As if I would get married today or something." Glen laughed.

He carried me outside the classroom until I gave up and went down. 

When I went down, I saw a long red carpet. Having benches at the side with balloons. White balloons. This looks cute. Althea pushed me on the red carpet. I saw Glen having balloons at his hands. I saw Tim. I saw Mark's mom. Wow. What's this?

Then all of them are covering someone with white cloths. Thats totally weird 'cause it's coming my way. He wore a white tux. Holding white roses. Then I look at the face, t'was, Mark. Damn. Really? Damn. I'm speechless. He's coming on my way. I tried to trun away when Mark held me to stop.
