Secrets Hide Behind Glasses
Chapter 13
Alice
I didn't know how I felt in that moment. sad? confused? Jealous for the fact that Marcel was going to the prom with someone when I wasn't even invited?
Marcel? Invited to a prom? But how?
"Alice?"
"Oh yeah.."
"You're not sad?" He asked.
"Not at all! I'm happy for you!" I said faking a smile.
"Great"
A million thoughts started popping in my head. Who invited Marcel? When? Where? How?
"Who asked you?" I asked really curious.
"Jade Adams" He said smling.
Jade Adams? She's crueler than Voldemort! She asked Marcel to prom? This can't be good.
She hardly seats in the same class as "not popular" people.
"Marcel, I don't think she actually asked you--"
"What do you mean?" He asked harshly.
"Calm down, I'm just saying that this could be a trick--"
"I thought you were happy that I'm going with someone"
"I do, I'm just saying--"
"That I'm too nerd to have a date?! Well surprise surprise! I do have a date!! And guess who don't? you, cause even the dorkiest person in school has a date, while you don't"
Wow, I never knew Marcel had a dark side. But what did I do?
"This could be a trick Marcel, she's probably playing with your feelings."
"I'M DONE WITH YOU. YOU CAN'T EVEN BE PROUD THAT YOUR FRIEND HAS A DATE!"
And with that, he shut the door. Leaving... Probably forever.
I slowly walked to the sofa.
My heart slowly breaking into a million pieces. Not only because what Marcel said, it is because what he said... is true.
I'm forever alone, I should get over that already.
And what better to get over depression than ice cream?
Narrator
Marcel knew that what he did was wrong but.. he was so mad, Why no one belived that he could actually have a date?
And what date! Jade Adams! hottest girl in the school asked him!
Well, life smiles at Marcel Styles at last.
Alice
Oh I love this ice cream. Definitely better than going to prom... Maybe, Polly, Olivia and Marcel are dancing with their dates. This is wonderful! I'm happy fo them...
I broke down sobbing.
"WHO AM I KIDDING I'M A TERRIBLE PERSON AND I'M FOREVER ALONE I WILL NEVER GET MARRIED AND LIVE IN A HOUSE ALONE WITH 7 DOGS!" I yelled, sobbing uncontrollably.
Thank God mum isn't home.
Okay stop cying Alice, do something productive.
Like what?
Tumblr.
Marcel's P.O.V
"Marcel can you bring me more water?" Jade asked in her sweet voice.
"Of course" I replied smiling.
I went to get her water.
"Here" I said handing it to her.
"Aww, I'm not thirsty" She said, as she spilled the water all over me.
"You realy thought I would date you? Just look at what you're wearing!" She said pointing at my outfit.
Murmurs and laughs filled the room.
"Smile Marcel!" 2 girls said as they took pictures of me.
"I bet you wouldn't be able to go to school anymore"
I ran out embarrassed.
It was a trick... it was all a trick.
Alice was right... and I treated her so bad.
I drove like crazy, tears streaming down my face.
I wiped away my tears before entering to my house.
"Hello Marcel! How was prom?" My mum asked. "Oh my God why are you all wet?"
"Someone spilled water all over me, it was an accident" I lied.
"Oh okay"
"I'm going upstairs."
I ran upstairs and grabbed my phone befor dialing Alice's number.
Voice mail. "Hi! I'm Alice, I can't answer you right now but--"
"I have no time for that I need to talk to her" I whispered to myself.
"Mum! I forgot something! I'm going out!" I yelled to her.
"Okay"
I opened my car's door and put my seat belt on.
I drove as fast as I could until I arrive to Alice's house.
I knocked the door nervously.
Nothing.
I knocked again.
Nothing.
I started getting really nervous.
I opened the door, thank God it was open.
Alice was laying asleep on the sofa.
She had dry tears on her cheecks and was holding an empty ice cream bowl.
I walked towards her. I kneeled so I was at her level.
"I'm so sorry" I whispered.
I didn't know how I felt in that moment. sad? confused? Jealous for the fact that Marcel was going to the prom with someone when I wasn't even invited?
