My Very Own Love Story (a high school romance) (on hold)

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Just after lunch lunch I was walking to my locker when I saw him. Kay, so him would actually be Marc, but I had thought he was back in Kentucky. I decided to stop him and say hi.

“Hey Marc! What are you doing here?” I asked sounding confused. I mean he was supposed to be back at his school now, not roaming around the halls of mine.

“Oh hey Jackalin. Didn’t Kassidy tell you? I moved up here and am now going to attend Jay with you.” He replied not making eye contact and sounding kinda bored.

Okay, then awkward moment... I thought to my self. Every time we were with each other now it was awkward, especially since what happened last time I saw him...

*Flashback about 5 months*

So I’m sitting on Kassidy’s bed after school. It was just us in her room, and then her little brother and Marc in the living room. Other than that we were all alone. We are doing homework and talking about guys when all of a sudden I hear her little brother call me to the living room.

“Hey Jackalin, Marc wanted you.” He says trying to act all cute.

“Yo nutt head, you don’t have to tell her that, I’m standing right here!” Marc responds while playfully smacking his nephew.

“Hey, hey, hey!” I say stepping in between them, there’s no reason to be hitting young children!” I say laughing. Marc starts laughing to.

I turn around about to walk away when he grabs my hand and spins me around. He smiles and puts a finger up indicating for me to wait a second. He gets a piece of paper and writes down ‘Do you like me?’ I stand there smiling and nodding. He then writes ‘Will you go out with me?’ I’m just about to answer when Kassidy tells me she needs me its an emergency so I run to her.

“What are you out there doing?” She asks sounding annoyed.

“Well.... your uncle just asked me out” I reply smiling big.

“You said no right?” She asks.

“No I didn’t answer yet, you called me here.” I say back.

“Well then go out there and say no, you don’t like him, and make it sound convincing.” She tells me sounding somewhat aggravated.

I walk back out there and prepare to do something thats really gonna hurt not only him, but me also. I walk up to him, look him in the eye and say something that hurts me, a lot.

“No.” I tell him, it should be easy to say, I say that one simple word all the time, but for some reason this time it made me want to cry.

“What?” He asks disbelieving.

“I said no, what part of that didn’t you hear?” I tell him.

“Why not? Do you do this to all the guys, act like you like them, cuddle with them, and then just tell them no? Will you just then give me a reason?” I can see I really hurt him, and I have to do my hardest not to go over there and comfort him.

“Because I don’t like you like that, I only want to be friends.” I tell him as I turn away trying my best not to cry.

*End of flashback*

“Jackalin? You okay?” He asks me.

“What? Oh... yeah... I’m fine. But no she didn’t tell me.” I say trying to get back on the train of thought.

“Oh, yeah well I’m moving here! I start tomorrow!” He says sounding enthusiastic.

“Thats great it’s a really fun school.” I tell him trying to keep a straight face.

“Since when do you like school?” He asks me laughing.

“Uhm... I never started.” I say laughing with him.

“Well I have to go, my ride is waiting so I’ll see you tomorrow?” He looks at and I just smile back.

He walks over gives me a quick hug and runs out going to meet his ride. Okay so that wasn’t too bad I guess, at least he can touch each other again right? I think to my self. Oh well better go finish out the rest of my day. And with that note I head off to my next class. I hoped that we were over the whole awkward stage, because I really didn’t want him to hate me forever. And there was this feeling deep down inside me telling I still had feelings for him, even though for all those months I had gone around denying and or ignoring them.
