Uplifting
Vroom Vroom
"I hope you had a great day, Roxy," Marcel murmured, looking at the ground. We were standing outside the school, after the last class had been let out.
"I had fun," I assured him. I really did though. It was one of the first times I'd actually enjoyed school, minus all of the dirty looks and snide comments we had gotten. Marcel looked stunned, however. I laughed, "Don't look so surprised, Marcel."
"S-sorry. Why did you have fun today? I mean, everyone was really rude to you. I know you didn't enjoy the classes- I don't even enjoy them," he blurted out. He quickly looked down out of shame, looking like he instantly regretted saying it.
"You," I said simply. He looked up with his wide green eyes staring deep into mine. I smirked. "Do you need a ride home?" I asked, before he could say anything else.
"I usually walk home," he admitted, with a shrug. I stared at him in disbelief.
"Are you crazy? It's like 70 degrees out, you wear sweaters and dress pants, and you walk? I'm driving you home, Marcel." He nodded bashfully. I led him to my car, feeling slightly embarrassed. "Sorry it's not the prettiest. But, you know, a car's a car."
"It's nice," he murmured. He seemed really nervous. I unlocked the doors and after we both got in and were buckled, I drove away. He gave me directions to his house, but otherwise he didn't speak at all.
I pulled up in front of a huge, pretty house with a very manicured lawn. "Oh my God, Marcel. Do you live here?" I asked, jaw dropped.
"Um, yeah," he answered, looking confused. "It's not that nice, Roxy." I turned to him and hit his arm playfully.
"Not that nice? Marcel, I live in a two bedroom apartment, for Christ's sake! You're ridiculous," I laughed.
"O-oh, I'm sorry Roxy. I didn't mean to be rude.." he said. I laughed at him again.
"Marcel, it's no big deal. But, um, thanks for a great day. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"
He gave me a big, bright smile. "Yes, I'll see you tomorrow," he said, unbuckling and climbing out of my car. He gave me a big wave as he walked into his huge house.
I don't think I've ever seen myself or Marcel smile that much.
