If Only

Chapter 5

The next weeks were hell. All Clara got were jealous looks and people whispering while staring at her. There were all kinds of horrible rumours about her and Martin. Some people said she paid him to be with her. Others said it was a form if prostitution. All of those were obviously lies but Clara couldn't help to feel sad and threaded. The only people who didn't look at her rudely were her friends. In the other hand, Martin just didn't care. He hold hands with her and put her arm around her, sometimes even while eating. As soon as he saw people staring he would kiss Clara on the cheek and smile at the people looking. He was just sassy. Hes friends still hanged out with him although they acted awkward and weird around Clara. After 2 weeks, Clara couldn't take it anymore. It hurt. And she didn't want to do what she was planning but... It was the best for both of them. So she went up to Martin while he was with he's friends. They immediately all stopped talking "Can we meet after school today?" Clara asked "Um sure, is everything alright?" Answered Martin worriedly, with an expression that made him look like a lost puppy. "Yeah, i just wanted to talk" lied Clara "well, sure" answered Martin, still a bit scared. After school they walked to a Cafe near by. "Look Martin, you are an amazing guy and none of whats happened is your fault" Begin Clara as soon as they sat down. "But the stares are killing me and the rumours..." Martin cut her off "are stupid and they dont even sound real" he cried. Clara stopped for a moment and then started talking again "its not about what the people are saying, its that they're saying it." - "It doesnt matter what they say-" martin interrumted again but was cut off by Clara "Martin it's been to freaking weeks of stares and fingers pointing and thats not something you can ignore. The girls take any chance they can to embarrass me. And it wouldn't be such a big deal if it was only them but its not. Its the whole middle school. Im tired. And I think..." Clara looked down and Martin begged "Clara please dont do this." Clara looked up and finished what she had to say "I think we should brake up." Martin looked devastated "come on Clara they don't know about us, they don't know what we do, they're clearly jealous!" He protested. "Im so sorry." Clara whispered while getting up. Then she looked up at Martin "I'll miss you." She smiled and left in tears.
