Secrets Hide Behind Glasses
Chapter 11
Alice
"He leaned in for a kiss, I was confused and happy at the same time. Does he really love me? I leaned in too.. "
"Alice, I need to talk to you" Polly interrupted my lecture.
I closed the book and put it on the table in front of me.
"Sure, what is it?" I asked, curious of what could it be.
"Well... you know James?"
I nodded.
"Well... he invited me to prom...." She trailed off.
"Polly, that's fantastic!" I said.
"You're not mad?" She asked.
"Umm... no? why should I?" I asked.
"Well because... we were going together."
"Oh come on, I still have Olivia and Marcel remember?" I laughed.
"Then we're good?" She asked.
"Of course!" I yelled.
Olivia
I can say I'm moving to Alaska...no, not possible.
But... I can say I my father wants to send me to military school?...Neh wouldn't believe me.
Ugh... with Polly was easier.
"Hey Olivia" Alice waved at me.
Omg Okay don't panic, don't panic.
"Hi..."
"You okay?" She asked concerned.
"Yeah just that... I'm moving to Canada." I said really quickly.
"You know you don't know how to lie, right?" She said smiling.
"Oh okay!" I yelled in frustration. "Someone invited me to prom..."
"Why would you lie about that?" She questioned.
"Well...we were supposed to go together.."
"Polly said the exact same thing."
Oh right... , she told me first.
"Please don't be mad" I pleaded.
"I'm not mad Olivia" She laughed.
I sighed in relief.
Okay 1 to go..
"I'm going to tell Marcel.." I sighed.
"I can't tell him if you want?" She asked.
"You would do that?!" I exclaimed. "THANK YOU SO MUCH!!"
And before she could say anything more, I ran to my class.
Alice
Well...that was weird... But anyways seems like it's only Marcel and I.
I sighed.
Where could he be? Maybe in the cafeteria? I'll see there.
When I enetered to the cafeteria there was a big mass of people
Teens sitting on their tables, eating and laughing.
I searched for the boy with glasses that I'm proud to call my friend.
I finally found him sitting alone. I went to sit next to him.
"Hi Marcel" I smiled.
"Hi Alice!" He smiled back.
"Umm.. Olivia wanted me to tell you that... well she's not coming with us to prom."
"Why not?" He asked confused.
"She's got a date." I explained.
"Oh.."
"Yeah.."
There was an awkward silence.
"You're not going with anyone, right?" He asked.
"Nope" I said. "I'm forever alone.
He chuckled.
"Well we better be going right?" I said. "I think my mum bought ice cream and I don't want her to eat it all!"
He laughed.
"Well, let's go"
Marcel
After I drove Alice to her house, I went straight to the gym. Where my father's expecting me to be.
I opened the door of the gym.
As soon as I entered, everyone stared at me.
Well, of course. Tell me how many times have you seen a guy with glasses and sweater in a gym?!
"Marcel! over here!" A familiar male voice yelled.
I turned to see my dad. I faked a smile and walked over where he was.
"Hi dad..."
"I'm so glad you're here son" He gave me a warm smile.
I half smiled.
I know he's doing this because he thinks it will help. But it's not the answer.
Just don't think about it Marcel.
"Remember Kyle?" He asked me, pointing to the tall figure standing in front of us.
Yeah.. ugh Kyle.
"Hi kid" He said.
"Kyle" I said coldly.
"Well if we don't begin with your practise we will never finish!" He exclaimed, almost excited that I'm back.
---
That was horrible, I'm all sweaty and my muscles hurt like hell.
I HATE BOXING.
I opened the front door with my spare key.
"Mum! I'm home!" I yelled, closing the door behind me.
"Hi hunny, how was practise?"
"Hell" I simply said.
"Oh sweety!" he said hugging me. "Just think that you're making your dad happy.
Happy? My dad happy? and MY hapinness?! what about it??
"And what about my happiness?" I said coldly walking upstairs to my room, leaving my mum in shock.
I even surprised myself by saying that, I always respect my mum and her desicions.
But this is too much.
I just can't handle it, I need to let it all out.
But I can't just open up to my mum, that would be weird and hell so awkward!
I will just
drown in my own feelings.
