My New Friend, Marcel

Chapter 4

A week has passed and everyone at school finally started noticing me and Marcel hanging out. But today, he didn't really talk to me that much. He just said "Hey," "Hi," and stuff like that. After class, I went to him and asked why he hasn't been talking to me lately.

"Nothing" he tells me. 'Nothing?! There must be something!' I said to myself. "Are you sure?" I ask him again. "Yeah.. I got to go, Y/N. See you later" he tells me and walks away. I was really confused so I didn't bother to ask him again. He might think I'm alittle clingy. Don't you think?

School's done and he still hasn't talked to me. Is it because of something I did? Something I said? I just didn't know. Was it because of the kiss? Sigh, I really got to ask him.

When I went home, I tried called him but he didn't answer. I tried texting him, but he still didn't reply. Gosh, it must have been something I said.

The next four days, I finally saw him at his locker. "Hey! Marcel!" I shouted, running up to him. He closed his locker and tried to speed walk to his class. I ran to him and grabbed his coat.

"Hey! Marcel! Talk to me! Why haven't you been answering my calls? Is.. is it because of the kiss?" I ask him, almost about to cry.

"No! No! It's.. not that!" he said. "It's just.." "Just what?" I ask him. "I overheard everyome talking about you behind your back six days ago! They said that you're an embarassment since you're hanging out with me!" He shouted , about to cry too. "What?" I whispered. "I didn't talk to you because I know you don't like to get embarassed and talked about behind your back!.." he told me.

"Marcel, I don't care about them! I finally found a real friend! Which is you!"  I smiled and giggled. "Marcel, you mean the world to me! I don't care if they like me hanging out with your or not! All I care is that I have a good and loving best friend.." I smiled and wiped away his tears.

We both laughed and went to our classes. We were 15 minutes late but we didn't care. Atleast we got to think things through and talked.
