Spaces between Us

**3**

Nevaeh's POV

I woke up the next morning with a massive headache so I decided to just stay home. It's Friday anyways, we don't do much on Fridays. Oh wait take that back....we do lots and lots of tests. Eh.

I need food though, so I went downstairs to find my dad talking on the phone with someone

"Yeah we would love to come......thank you..... oh really?..... No never.......ill make sure of that.....ok see you lot at 7. Have a great day" he hung up and he smiled at me but then when he saw me in my pjs he frowned.

"Why aren't you dressed for school?" He said as he grabbed his coffee mug that said '#1 VP'

"Ugh don't shout, I have a-" I yawned "a massive headache"

He nodded "hopefully you feel better by tonight hun"

I furrowed my eyes and scratched my arm as I opened the bread bag "why?"

"The neighbors invited us to a dinner, and we can't let them down" he smiled

I rolled my eyes "what neighbors are we speaking of dad?"

"Our closest neighbors of course! Styles!"

I groaned and slammed the toaster oven door shut "No!"

He was taken aback and looked at me with wide eyes "and why not?" He asked calmly

"Their son! He's sooooo annoying" I exaggerated so

"Little Marcel!?!?! No he's such. Gentleman. Such a great kid you should be more like him"

I scoffed "excuse me father! But I am who I am and you're stuck with me for another year whether you like it or not! Thanks for the love DAD!" I said and grabbed my toast and the already made coffee and went up the stairs

"I didn't mean it like that sweetie!"

I stopped halfway up the stairs Nd frowned "really? Cuz it really sounded like you didn't even love me" I snapped and slammed my bedroom shut after, making the windows shutter

I placed my coffee mug and toast on the bed stand and pulled the pillow close to me as I sobbed.

This was normal stuff that happened all the time. Everytime Marcel came up
My dad would say how perfect he is, how smart and polite he is. Well im sorry I'm not perfect like him, I can only do so much. Ever since we were little dad would do this and my mom would always scold my dad for doing this. Now she's not here to scold him so it's just me alone in this huge house.

I wiped my tears away and grabbed a tissue "no more. He will not make me feel worthless anymore. Marcel you're going down. I'm gonna make your life more miserable than it already is." I spoke to myself

Yeah call me crazy, not like you don't do it.

I'm going to school. I saw the clock and saw it was 8. im late but I rather be the one to make Marcels life hell.

That's my job.

I pulled out a skater blue dress and and my black tights. I slipped on my flats and put my hair up in a fancy bun. I made sure to look extra hot today. I winked at my reflection and kissed the mirror. TA-DA

"PERFECT"

I grabbed my bag and my phone. I grabbed my skateboard which I hardly ever use and rushed it to school. Once I arrived I went to the attendance office to get a tardy from an office student and to my luck Marcel was doing a shift this morning. I sighed and pulled my ID card out and he was distracted while he stared at me.

"Hello four eyes! I need to get to class" I snapped

He shook his head from being zoned out and nodded "Uh sorry"

I rolled my eyes once he handed me my ticket, but his fingers touched mine and they were so warm.

I removed my hand smokey as I watched him carefully and I scoffed "great now I need hand sanitizer" I said as I pulled a lose strand of hair behind my ear.

I walked away with my skateboard in hand and went straight to class. Can't wait till lunch and after school. I'm not evil just hate being annoyed. Specially by Marcel.

Marcel POV .

Her hand.
It touched mine.

Oh Gosh, oh gosh. And she didn't scream or call me ugly. I really like her. What I would do to make her like me. Sadly I'm just an ugly nerd with no social life. She has Zayn. Zayn Malik the player, the soccer captain, the singer, I can sing too but I'm not telling people. They probably won't even care.

I sighed just when the bell rang for next class. I grabbed my satchel and bolted out of class in a hurry. I usually hurry because I don't like to bump into people-

Bumped into someon great

I look up and Samantha is there, i look around for Nevaeh but she's nowhere there. I frowned and quickly apologized

"Wait"

She pulled my arm

I turned my head to look at her. She's pretty. She has big brown eyes and long brown hair.

"Y-yes?" I studdered

"Erm I'm sorry for bumping into you and all" she blushed?

"Oh it's fine really, it was my fault so don't worry. You should head to class don't want to be late." I chucked nervously

She poked my dimples "you should laugh more, you have a nice laugh"

"Thanks Sam. I best go. Bye" I waved awkwardly and ran off

She's always been so kind to me since we were in grade school. I don't know why but she always has.

I was walking past Zayns locker and saw him taking roses out of his locker mumbling something.

"The shit I do for this bitch" he slammed his locker shit and when he saw me he glared and walked away

I wonder if those are for Nevaeh. They better not. Oh who am I kidding, it's surely for her. He's going to ask her to be his girlfriend .

Sigh.
