"marley! get out of bed!" ugh. the worst thing about starting public school is waking up at the ass crack of dawn. i crawled out of my bed and stumbled to the bathroom to take a shower. feeling the water hit my back was really soothing, and i began to think about how my day would go. i was just extremely nervous, the only person i knew was ian but he had his own life and friends. who was i to intrude on that?
as i was getting out the shower i got a text from ian.
iann<3
bbbb? walk wit me to skl today?
me
YES!
i threw on some clothes i had found at the bottem of my closest and rushed out of the house, trying to avoid my mother. she was upset that i was starting public school. every time she was reminded of the fact that she had to get an actual job instead of sit on her ass all day, she became grouchy. ever since my dad left, she had to get multiple jobs to afford the house. so she always came home pissed.
"ian!" i waved, trying to get his attention. i had only just walked out of my house to see him across the street. his face lit up when he saw me, he quickly jogged over to me.
"marley! hey, how are you?" he latched his arm with mine.
"alright," i ran my fingers through my hair. "I'm just really nervous ya know?" he nodded. we made small talk as we walked to school arm in arm.
"so?" he looked away as if he knew something i didn't. "do have your eyes on anyone?" he nudged my arm. i wasn't sure what he was talking about considering i didn't really know anyone.
"you look really stupid right now, jackass." i smirked at him, he just rolled his eyes and sighed.
"I'm talking about matt." he stated bluntly. he knew i would mess with him until he told me exactly what i wanted to know.
"matt?" i raised my eyebrows in confusion. "he's the guy that beat the shit out of jack, right?" ian nodded and smiled."why would i have my eye on him?" i stepped in front of him to stop him from walking any further. ian shook his head and crossed his arms.
"he basically saved you from a potential bad situation, marley. if that would have happened to me i would totally be crushing right now." he pushed past me and continued to walk. we walked in silence as i thought about the whole 'matt situation'. I've never formally met him before so how could i have feelings? but all i could think about really was, why did he help me?
