Unmasked Love

Chapter 6

He looked me over until he said,

"No," He said while gazing into my eyes, "I don't".

"Then why are you right in front of me..?" I asked.

"Shh, just be quiet!" He said as he started to hug me.

"MARC!" I said as I started to sweat.

"I'LL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING LATER OK!? JUST COOPERATE WITH ME." He whispered loudly close to my ear.

A second later, a girl dressed in western clothing came running down the halls hollering for his name.

"That" He whispered.

"Who is that crazy cowgirl dressed girl.?"

"She's my childhood frien-"

"Aww, why are you hiding from her?" I teased.

"Well, she's psycho so I hugged you hoping she won't notice me."

"...Chill dude, psycho? That's-"

"Seriously, she always wore 'cowgirl' clothes and she never stopped wearing them years later. I thought it was kind of cute and funny. I always treated her like my little sister but she thought differently. When we were 10, she confessed her true feelings for me. As we grew older, it's been awkward between us.. She's crazy obsessed with me. She'd get jealous when I'm with other girls too... 2 years later, she moved to Arizona. I don't know why she's here at school with me, now..." He explained.

I stood there in shock. Love is crazy.

"Ohhhhkay then. I need to get to my science class."

"I'll walk you, my class isn't very far from your science class."

"Alright." I agreed.

We both started walking to class until I saw dark black eyes staring at me, which I just ignored.

We got to the door frame of my science class and I thanked Marc for walking me there. Yay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Science class is over. I'm alive. Anyways, time passed quickly, I went to another class, not interesting at all... Andddd now, it was lunchtime.

Damn, I hate being alone, wish Peyton was here.

"Heyyyy girlieeee." Said a mysterious voice that sounded familiar but didn't at the same time.

I looked up noticing it's that cowgirl girl who was screaming 'Marc' in the halls who's apparently psycho.

"Hi... Need something?" I asked.

"Yeah, how'd you get Marc's attenti- I-I mean hahaha nothing."

"Should I be worried about your mental health?" I said in my head.

"Hi, the name's Josie, short for Josephine."

"Hey, Josephine. Don't bother her please." Marc said.

"HEYYYYY MARC! Finally, I found you!" She grinned.

Marc paled and mouthed "go" to me, and I quickly ran to the nearest coffee shop, Starbucks, just what I need after running here.

I bought a random coffee and drank it while slowly walking back to the school. I have to admit, Josie kind of freaked me out in a way.

When I arrived (10 minutes till Math), Noah approached me and asked why he saw Marc and I hugging.

"You don't have to answer that, though, because if it's personal, then.."
