Secrets Hide Behind Glasses
Chapter 6
Alice's P.O.V
It's been 3 weeks since school started. 3 weeks since Olivia left to Scotland. 3 weeks since I met Marcel.
We've been getting more in contact. He comes and eats with me and Polly at lunch and we talk very often.
Polly thinks he's a great guy.
He has been driving me home after school everyday too. I don't know but I'm always looking forward to the end of the day so we can spend time together.
Anyway, I'm not doing great at school, which only makes my mum more disappointed. I don't know what I'm going to do.
I'm currently walking to Spanish class, alone. Polly has English right now.
The corridor is so silent. Sometime I imagine little creature hiding in the lockers and only coming out when there's no one.
Don't be stupid Alice-- Omg... I'm turning into Alice in Wonderland!
That wouldn't be a problem though... I would love to go to Wonderland an forget all my problems----
"Just the girl I wanted to see..." A voice snapped me out of my thoughts about Wonderland.
Oh c'mon again?!
"Hi Fred." I said avoiding eye contact as I started to walk faster to Spanish class.
"Not so fast" He said with an evil smirk. "I didn't get my revange that day when you kicked me..."
Oh no.. this is not going to end well..
Marcel's P.O.V
"Nerd."
"Geek."
"I've heard he only hangs out with girls..." "and they're younger."
"Dork"
These are few of the things I heard as I made my way to my seat. Thank God this is my last year in this hell.
Just then, Fred passed by and whispered in my ear "You're next" with a smirk playing in his lips.
What the hell?? What's that supposed to mean?!
I hope he doesn't try to punch me or something. How I will explain that to my mum?!.
I just hope the day ends soon.
At least tomorrow's Friday! not that I have plans or something but I will finally get to relax a little bit from school.
Alice's P.O.V
My back hurts like hell. Thank God Fred didn't do anything to my face because I wouldn't be able to explain that to my mum.
My ribs hurt like crazy.
I can barely walk.
"Hey Alice!! How was Spanish.. Oh God! Are you okay?" Polly asked concerned.
"Yeah"
"You don't look like it, Alice" She said with a dead serious look.
Quick think of some excuse.
"I fell and hit the locker, nothing to worry about." I smiled.
"Oh clumsy, clumsy Alice." She joked.
She likes to make fun of my clumsiness.
"Anyway.... That was the last class so I think I must be going" Polly commented.
"Yeah me too... but wait Polly" She turned. "Do you have plans for tomorrow? I mean it's Friday and I was thinking that we could do something!"
"I'm so sorry! I'm going to my Tennis practise." She replied.
"You live there, right?" I teased.
"No!" She exclaimed, faking hurt. "it's just that the tournament is approaching and my stupid coach want me to practise non stop!"
"Well, Then see you on Saturday?"
"Sure!" She smiled.
We said goodbye to each other and I headed where Marcel and I usually see each other. Barely walking.
"Hey" He smiled.
"Hey" I replied but winced as a wave of pain invaded my back.
"Are you okay?" He asked concerned helping me to his car.
"Yeah, I just fell and hit the locker." I lied once again.
"You sure?"
"Yes."
"Where did you get hurt?"
"My back"
"Can I see?..." He said trying to lift up my shirt a little.
"No!" I said snapping his hand away. "Is nothing serious?"
I smiled to him, hoping it wouldn't sound weird.
"Okay.."
Yes he bought it! I thought to myself.
When we arrived he opened the door for me and helped me walk to my front door.
"Umm... C-call me if you need a-anything, o-okay?" He said handing me a little white paper with numbers in it.
He smiled nervously, like he hoped I didn't say something like "Omg you serious? I would never talk to you!"
He’s adorable.
"Thank you, you're so sweet!" I said kissing his cheek.
He blushed and showed me his adorable dimples.
"Bye Alice, see you tomorrow." He said.
I thought about it a minute... yeah.
"Wait Marcel!"
"Y-yeah?" He asked obviously impressed that I called him.
"Umm..would you like to come over tomorrow? We can watch movies and stuff.." He gave me a question look. "I mean if you are free tomorrow.."
"Oh no.. I mean yeah I would love to."
"Great! then see you tomorrow."
"Bye."
I opened the door with my spare key.
"I'M HOME MUM!" I yelled.
"Hi Darling, how was school?"
"Great.. I'm going upstairs..."
Thank God I could cover my pain.
I went upstairs to my room and cried... yeah I needed to get all of that out.
This hurts a lot.
I went to the bathroom and locked myself in it.
I took off my sweater and admired all the bruises and cuts.
"They were all over my arms...
