My New Friend, Marcel

Chapter 7

Marcel's POV;

I don't know what to think! The first ever girl who likes me back! I used to like this girl but, she didn't like me back. She didn't even give me the chance to be friends with her. But Y/N is the first ever girl to be friends with me and like me back.. Her dad is really really nice! He even jokes around saying that I'm Y/N's boyfriend! Ahhh, I think we're gonna get along pretty well.

At School;
While we were reading in our textbooks, the principal walked into our classroom.

"Goodmorning, Ms. Santiago" our class greeted her.

"Goodmorning class B03, today I am announcing that we are going to have prom!" She smiled excitingly.

Everyone in the class cheered in excitement. "Really? Is it actually going to happen?" One of the students ask her. "Yep, and I'm going to need some students here to help class B15 with the decorating. Anyone who'd like to volunteer?" The principal asked.

Marcel's class was B15 so, I raised my hand when no one else did. The principal was in complete disappointment. "No one else? Just Y/N?" she asked the class. Few seconds later, her eyebrows went up. I saw Ana's hand in the air. "I'll volunteer!" she said. The principal smiled and grinned. Later, four more students raised the hands. "Alrighty then, we'll expect you tomorrow morning" she said, walking out the door.

I looked at Ana, and she looked at me. We both smiled at each other and went back to reading our textbooks.

(The next morning)
I arrive at school, with all my recycled decoration for the prom. I hear footsteps running towards me and a hand resting on my shoulder. "Hey, Y/N" it was Ana. Trying to catch her breath 'cause she's been running for 10 minutes straight. "Can I talk to you?" she asked me. I agreed and we both went under the umbrella in the playground of the school.

"Look, Y/N, I'm really really sorry for being mean to you, and to Marcel. It's just, I'm always so jealous of people not paying attention to me anymore.." she told me.

"But, I'll try to be different this time. I'll try to be nicer to you, Marcel, and everyone." she smiled and looked at me. "I'm sorry for being such a bad friend.." she said.

"Aw, Ana, you're not a bad friend! You just have to keep it down sometimes.." I tell her and we both laugh.

I'm happy thing are finally starting to get normal. "So, should we head inside?" I ask her pointing at the prom place. "Sure!" She said smiling and pulling me heading inside.

Apart from all the colorful balloons, the stage, the lovely banners, the class, the first person I saw was Marcel. I saw him struggling to blow the balloon up. I came up to him and said "Need some help?" He laughed and nodded his head. We both put air in the balloons and gave it to the other students so they could handle with the designing.

While he was hanging up the banners, I smiled at him without him seeing/knowing. I'm not a creep, okay? Anyways, he looks at me smiling and turning red. He lost focus on the banner, and almost fell off the chair. I ran as fast as I could and catched him.

"You know, mostly it's me who falls and you who catches, right?" I laughed. "Yeah, I know" he giggled. I stood him up and helped him with the banner.

Three hours later, we were almost done with the whole place. The recycled decorations I used were all put up already.

Later on, I asked Marcel if he was going to the dance. "No," he said. 'What does he mean 'No'? Is it because he doesn't want to? Is it because I might ruin it?' I thought to myself, overreacting. "No? Why not?" I asked him. "Oh, it's just.. No one might ask me to the dance" he said in embarassment. 'Gosh I felt so bad for him. Poor guy probably never had anyone to go to the dance with'  "Well, you'll never know if someone might actually ask you out, you know?" I tell him. "Yeah, yeah okay.." he smiled at me and we both carried on to the finishing touch.
