Mariana and David? Or Mariana and Gunner?

It's friday, okay so do I wear denim or my favorite torn black hoodie. I hold my two options in front of my full body mirror. I look at my long curly brown hair against the denim and cringe.

"Nope. That's not happening"

I end up wearing a pair of bleach splattered jeans, my chucks, black tank and my old sweater with my hair down. I turn sideways to look at my reflection.  Oh god, I'm fat.

"Some of us have lives out there you know? Come on Mari!" Mac yells. I smile, grab my moss green bag. It has a few holes but I love it. It's only Mac and I here, I mean we have parents but well, let's just say they have better things to do than watch us drive eachother mad. Don't get me wrong they pay the bills and send cards on our birthdays and stuff. They even bought Mac's BMW for him they're great, but it'd be nice to see them in person for once. I hop into Mac's car I dig in my backpack for my makeup bag, it's in here I know it. Or, did I leave it in my bathroom?

"Ugh." It's not in there and Mac's already halfway down our street. I'm not asking him to turn back. I shake my hair out and lean on my fist an gains the passenger door. Mac smiles, what's his deal? Can't he see I'm mad cuz I can't find my mascara?

" Your emergency packs in the glove box." He says keeping both eyes on the road. Oh my gosh I love him!I open the glove box to see my little purple and black bag from hot topic sitting there for me.

"Thank you Mac" I say opening the bag and applying my mascara and chapstick.  That's all the makeup I need and can take.

"I'm just glad you don't where so much that you look like whore" he laughs.

"Yeah well I don't wanna feel like there's a cake on my face." I reply. Mac's the best...most of the time. He's technically my guardian at 19. I'm only 15 so I'm still a kid, but not with Mac. He treats me like a best friend and he's got my back. But I never tell him I love him, and he don't tell me cuz that'd be weird. But we both know it.

Mac drives up the back of the school and stops, I grab all my stuff and hop out. "See ya after school Mac."

"Later." He waves out the window making a U turn and leaving my sight.

I sigh watching my breathe of cold air, I think I'll head to the library again. And I'm off to the same routine.
**David**

I get off the city bus with Cam behind talking to a red headed girl he's pretty sure has a thing for him. That's just Cam, he thinks every girl adores him. I roll my eyes and walk a little faster towards the library. I turn a sharp corner into a hall to see that girl! Gotta think fast here. I go back around the corner because she hasn't seen me and I need time to prepare.  Should I say hey? No that's too forward..

A decent looking skater guy walks past me, almost murdering me with his cologne. He turns the corner. Shit, are they friends? No, they are both pretty decent. Maybe they are dating? I look around the corner and see them talking, she looks over at me, so I retreat. Not only behind the corner but I run. No library today. Shit Shit shit, why am I so panicked by this? I don't even know her. This doesn't make any sense.

I don't get very far before I run into the Red headed girl and Cam.

"Whoa,  hey Dave. What's up? You look a little flushed" stays the Red head looking at me a bit confused.

"Girls are confusing" I say taking refuge in my car. I run my fingers through my hair and think. Should I stay? Can I take that? No, I think I'm gonna go home.

I get outta the car and run on over to the school office. I say I'm not feeling school today and they give me a hall pass. I call my mom to give her a heads up.

"What do you mean your coming home? Have you come down with something?" She asks.

"Nah mom, I'm just confused"

" About what love?"

I answer as I get into the car,"Girls just freak me out, alright I'll see you when I get home" I say starting the car and checking all around me to check for people.

" Alright hun, see you soon"

I hang up and back out of my parking spot. Alright, let's get outta here, I'll explain to Cam later.

**Me**

I begin to walk up the ramp towards the library when I hear some foot steps. I turn to see.. Gunner? He's probably going to the library. No, he's walking towards me...WAIT WHAT?! Ok.ok. play it cool, chill Mariana!

"Hey." He says calmly in his black Creature T shirt, grey shorts with his left hand in his pocket. Why does he have to be so chill? I probably look horrible.  World swallow me now!

"Hey what's up?" I say smiling. I'll use this wisely.

"Nothing really, have you seen the guys anywhere?" Shoot. I should've known it was about something like his friends. Oh well. I shrug.

"Sorry I just got here so your the first I've seen." I see some movement in the corner of my eye. I look to see some guy watching us from around the corner. What is he doing?

"What are you looking at?" Gunner turns to look just in time for the guy to bolt. What the-

" it was nothing, anyways I'm sorry that I couldn't help you out." Gunner looks back at me and side smiles.

"It's cool Mariana,  I'll see you later." He walks away, back down the hall instead of going to the library. Ok, now who was that guy?
