I Wish I Could Tell You...

Chapter 2

My rest of the afternoon went thinking about what must have happened. And soon I dozed off. When I woke up, it was dark. I quickly checked my watch and was shocked! It was fifteen minutes to 7! I quickly grabbed my cellphone and ran to the park.

On my way, I was mentally ready to face the angry Marshall. I was too late. But I was also thinking about what he was going to tell me. I and Marshall were the two of the few boys in our friend circle  who were away from problems. Problems mostly faced by our friends. Problems like getting low marks, getting grounded by parents for being outdoors till late hours. We were like the obedient children of our parents who always followed the rules made without complaining. And this was the matter why I was tensed about Marshall calling me out in this manner all of a sudden. 

I reached the park. But instead of an angry, full of rage Marshall, I saw a very calm and little bit tensed Marshall sitting on a swing waiting for me. 

I went near him and said, "Hey!" He didn't respond for a few seconds and then just told, "Can we have a small walk?" I was completely confused. But I had no other choice so I started walking with him.

I had many questions in my mind, but didn't wanted to make things go uncomfortable for him. I just wanted him to relax and take his time. Then suddenly he spoke with a very soft voice, "I think I love Stella." I think I shrieked about a little bit at that time. When did this guy even get time to generate these feelings? I mean we just came out of the exam stress. So, I just waited eagerly for him to explain further. And he continued, " Actually I even proposed her the day before and she said a yes!" I could see his eyes sparkling in the moon light. There was a big smile on his face. Wow! This guy has got some guts and he is madly in love! But then why is he so tensed? I couldn't wait further so I just popped out the question and I hate myself for this. Because after hearing me, his smiled disappeared instantly. This was even scarier. But he just replied, "What if mom comes to know about this?"

Silly Marshall...but we'll come back to this soon... :) :)
