Caught In The Act

Chapter 9

***MARCEL'S P.O.V.***

I stared out the window as we drove in silence to the mall. I couldn't think of anything to say to her. Maybe I shouldn't say anything at all. I don't want to cause an accident or something.

I looked over at Emily, who was focused on the road, her eyebrows furrowed together. She's so beautiful. If only she was mine. Stop it Marcel! She's with Zayn.

I looked back out the window before she noticed that I was staring at her. It broke my heart that she was with someone else. It's pathetic that I even thought for a second that she would actually like me. I know she looks at me like everyone else does. A pathetic nerd that gets picked on everyday.

I want her to look at me like everyone looks at Harry. Girls are practically drooling over him. He's my twin, but no one sees it. That will all change today. I will change my whole appearance and no one will be able to tell the difference. They will treat me like an actual human being.

I smirked to myself while I thought about my planning. We finally arrived at the mall. There wasn't very many cars in the parking lot, surprisingly. Emily parked her car and I looked ahead of us. The car looked so familiar. It looked almost like Harry's car.

Nah, he's probably at home playing video games like usual. Yeah that's where he is. I saw someone move in the back seat of the car. I squinted my eyes to see who it was. Sarah? But that's not her car..

I looked to see if there was anyone else with her in the car. I couldn't really see very well but I could tell that she wasn't alone. Why did this car look so much like Harry's?

My eyes went wide at what I had just thought of. There's no way that Harry would do that. Not to Emily. My stomach started to hurt. I got out my phone and texted my mom.

Hey, mom. Is Harry home? -M

I waited for a reply from her. A few seconds later my phone buzzed in my hand. I looked at my phone to see a text from my mom. I opened up the message and read it.

No, sweetie. He's not. Why do you ask? -M

My stomach really hurt when I read what was on my screen. I then typed back a reply.

Just wondering. x -M

I looked back up to the car and stared at it. If Harry isn't home, does that mean he's back there with Sarah?

"Marcel?" I heard a sweet voice calling my name. I looked over at Emily who was staring at me confused.

"Yes?" I asked her, trying to act normal.

"Is everything okay?" She asked and put a hand on mine. I looked at her sudden movement and felt my cheeks get hot.

"Y-yes. Everyt-thing is fine." I stuttered my words. I stutter when I get nervous. It's really embarrassing.

"Okay. Lets go inside then." She smiled and took her hand away. I nodded and got out of the car. I couldn't help but stare at the car. I walked past it and peaked into the back window for a second. My eyes went wide.

I immediately looked away from the sexual act that was happening. I sighed in relief that Harry was not in that car with Sarah. Harry has a scratch on the back door of the passenger seat. This car did not have it.

But if he's not in the car, and he's not at home, where is he? This is not like him. He's usually always at home playing video games or watching YouTube videos.

I pushed away the thought as I walked into the huge mall. The smells of perfume and junk food filled my nostrils. I never like coming to the mall. It's always filled with filthy and disgusting people who eat fatty foods.

Emily grabbed my hand and pulled me into a random store. It was filled with band t-shirts, belts, suspenders, hats, piercings, and random toys.

"Welcome to Spencer's." A girl with black and blue hair said behind the counter. She had a ring in her nose and lip, tattoos up the wazoo, and strange clothes on. The dark makeup around her blue eyes really made them stand out.

The girl who had greeted us eyed me up and down, laughing to herself. I felt my cheeks get hot with embarrassment. I looked down at the ground feeling way out of place.

Emily then pulled me to a section of clothes and picked out a few shirts. She then gave them to me and pointed to a dressing room.

"Go try those on. I'll look for some jeans." She said and walked off to the jeans section. I walked over to the dressing room and pulled off my sweater vest. I then unbuttoned my shirt and tried on one of the t-shirts. The fabric felt so foreign to me.

I wasn't used to wearing this type of clothing. I looked at myself in the mirror and my eyes went wide. I couldn't believe my eyes.

My thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the dressing room down. I opened it to see Emily with a few pairs of jeans. She smiled at me.

"That looks good on you! Try these on." She said and gave me the jeans. I closed the door and replaced my dress pants with the skin tight jeans I was given. I tried to pull the fabric away from my skin. I was definitely not used to this.

I opened the door to see Emily on her phone. She looked up at smiled at me.

"You look really good, Marcel!" She said looking me up and down. I felt my cheeks get hot.

"T-thanks' ,Emily." I said.

"No problem. Get changed and we will go get you some new shoes." She said.

I nodded and closed the door, then put my regular clothes back on. It was nice to be back in my regular clothes again. Much more comfortable.

Once I was done changing, I went out with the clothes and handed them to the cashier. Emily took out her credit card and handed to the girl.

"You don't have to pay.." I told her and started to take out my wallet.

"Don't worry about it, Marcel. I want to." She smiled and grabbed the bags. I followed her out of the store and walked along her side as we went to the next store. I looked at the name of the store we were about to walk into.

"Foot Locker"

Emily started to look at some converse and air walks. I sat down on the bench and waited for her to bring me something to try on. After a few minutes, she came over with three boxes of shoes.

I opened one of the boxes and saw a pair of sneakers laying in the bottom of it. I took them out and replaced my dress shoes with the sneakers. They were surprisingly comfortable. I smiled up at Emily who was waiting for me to say something.

"I like them." I said and say back down to try on the other shoes.

"Good." She said. I could practically hear the smile on her face.

I tried on the other two pairs and decided to get those as well. I always see people wearing these shoes but never expected them to be this comfortable. Emily paid for the shoes, and of course I complained about her not having to pay.

She told me that money wasn't a big deal for her. I guess it really want if she was spending all this money on me.

Once we got everything, we went back out to the car. I helped her put everything in the back of the car, then got in on the passengers side. Emily got in on the drivers side, put on her seat belt, then started the car. I smiled to myself as we left the parking lot.

Maybe everything will finally be the way I want it. Being treated like a human being, making friends. Maybe Emily will finally fall for me.

Maybe, just maybe, everything will be perfect.
