MarJoyce One-Shots

Honestly (Chapter 3)

As I enter the history teacher's room, I slowly walked to her room, just in time.

"Good afternoon," I greeted, and our teacher smiled.

"Greetings, Joyce," she said. "I apologize putting you in detention for arriving late. I couldn't give you proper detention for this. You and Marlou had to agree on the misunderstandings you both disagree. I need to clarify something."

"What is it–"

Just as I sat in her table, Marlou arrived. I couldn't stand the chance again. I need to go, I need to go–

"Joyce?" my history teacher said. "Are you listening?"

I look around me, and it's just only us. Maybe, Marlou isn't arriving. I wish it to happen.

"I apologize, I just got lost of my mind."

After we talked about the misunderstandings we had between us, now is the chance to talk about us. Really about us. My teacher notices our behavior between each other. I was the one who keeps staying away from him.

"I couldn't say that it is a feeling for not. Whenever he's around, I couldn't stop thinking about him. I joined him for a hug sometimes, but I couldn't say it was for the affection. Obviously, he don't have a feeling for me, and we're only best friends, and nothing more. I couldn't force him to start our relationship, if he's not comfortabl–"

"Why not?" a voice came in front of me, and it was the one who I've a crush on, Marlou. Reaching to me, he held my hand, telling me to calm down.

"So, both of you need to discuss about yourselves. I just need to grab a coffee." then she left.

That left us alone. He might hear our conversation about my complicated feelings for him. I couldn't stand the feelings anymore. I need to tell him. I need to have him realize that I like him.

"Can we... Talk?"

"Anything for you. What do you want to talk about?" he asked.

"I couldn't stand this anymore, I need to tell yo–"

"You don't need to say this to me. If you're uncomfortable, you maybe need some time to heal it to yourse–"

"I have feelings for you, Marlou," I finally told him. "And I know you obviously don't wanted to start a new relationship, and I'm just a girl who's obsessed, I mean–"

"Joyce–"

I stood up. "I need to go, I just need to realiz–"

He stood, pulling me in his embrace and hugged me. He hugged me tightly. I couldn't stand the feeling anymore. What if all about this situation becames worse? We remain hugging for a few minutes then he whispered in my ear.

"I've wanted you to say those words. I like you too. Admitting is enough to realize that I wanted you in my life, Joyce."

The words coming from my mouth really reliefs me. He felt the same way.

"I wanted to be with you so much, Joyce. Words can't describe how much I care for you."

"Mar... What if you're joki–"

"Joyce," he pulled away, and presses his forehead against me. "I've been waiting for you to say this, because from the time we first me–"

Just as the teacher arrives, we pulled away from the embrace, to apologize.

"I apologize for this, Marlou," I smiled towards him, which makes me blush.

"It's okay,"

"Okay, you're free to go, I guess." the teacher finally free us.
