His Other Life.
Three.
I've never tried looking good for anyone.
This was new to me, maybe because everyone already knew how I was but I really wanted to impress Marcel. It was harder than I thought, normally I would pull on random pieces of clothing but today I was actually making an effort to look nice. I didn't want to look like I was trying too hard but I also didn't want to look like I do on the daily basis. I looked through my closet for anything "cute" to wear but honestly didn't have much luck. I was more of a t-shirt and jeans/sweats type of girl so I didn't have much dressy clothes. As I was about to give up I spotted a long, fall colored skirt in the back of my closet. I remember my grandmother giving me this skirt two years ago so I hope it still fits. I pulled it on and was pleased that it still fit properly. I then put on a loose black tank top and tied a knot in the bottom for a better fit. I checked my final product in my full length mirror and did a little happy dance. I felt and looked the best I have in a long while. I grabbed my purse and phone before leaving my home.

I arrived to class earlier than usual excited to see Marcel. I waited patiently for him as I watched the class slowly start to fill up. Ms. Hall tried talking to me but I totally ignored her, not really in the mood to deal with her today. The conversation coming from the group of slutty cheerleaders from a couple rows next to me caught my attention. Normally I never ease drop but this was an exception.. They were talking about Marcel.
"I bet he's so good in bed. Like have you seen his hands?"
"He can experiment on me any day"
"I bet he's a nerd in the streets but a freak in the bed!"
Followed by loads of giggles.
I felt anger and jealousy boil within me. They weren't allowed to talk about Marcel like that. Just then he walked into the classroom looking as hot as ever. He was wearing a black dressing shirt with black slacks. He looked a bit more normal, I really hope all the nasty remarks they gave him yesterday didn't cause him to change. I sent him a smile when his eyes caught mine and I pointed at the empty seat in front of me. He nodded before walking through the crowded rows of desk until he was right in front of me.
"Hey Marcel! How are you today?" I said with a big smile. He settled his things on the floor before turning around to face me. "I'm good, you seem fairly happy today! Anything happening?" He replied before chuckling. I didn't notice until now how much he reminds me of Harry Styles, maybe that's why I was so attracted to him.
"No it's just been a good morning" I said back, but was interrupted by Ms. Hall beginning class.
"Okay class I need you to get in groups of 5! We are going to do a class assignment so choose wisely." As soon as she finished speaking everyone got up and quickly got Into groups. I was about to ask Marcel if he wanted to make a group but Beatrice, the captain of the cheerleading team beat me to it. I noticed how she bent slightly over in front of him, basically shoving her chest into his face as she spoke.
"Hey cutie! So I was thinking maybe you wanted to sit with me and my friends over there!" She cheered pointing over to the rest of the cheerleaders. He looked over but didn't say a word. "I promise we don't bite... Unless you're into that" she said seductivley. I watched as he moved around in his seat uncomfortably, probably because of how close she was to him but he still didn't say a word.
"I don't think he wants to sit with you Beatrice." I mockingly said, keeping eye contact with her. She turned to face me, as soon as she caught sight of my skirt I knew what was coming.
"Did anyone ask you? Besides what a hideous skirt! Where did you get it at? A Thrift store?" she said loud enough for the whole class to hear. I felt my face burn as the laughter haunted me, normally I wouldn't let anything they say about me hurt me but with Marcel sitting right there I felt like disappearing. I didn't even have a come back, I just looked down to the floor.
"I think she looks beautiful!" Marcel jumped in, saving the day. The look on Beatrice's face was priceless. She has never been rejected before, especially not by a boy like Marcel. "Whatever y'all are meant for each other! Both lame idiots" she spat before walking away. We both silently chuckled at her, what a bitch.
"Thanks for defending me Marcel, you didn't have to lie like that though" I said before bringing my gaze back to my skirt, I shouldn't have even tried, he probably thinks it's hideous too. "I swear I wasn't lying! You really do look beautiful Sophie." He replied before touching my hand. The shock I got once his hand touched mine was electrifying. Not only because of the simple gesture but also because he had called me Sophie, something only my dad has called me. I blushed horribly as I tried looking away. He noticed me blushing so he let go of my hand to squeeze my cheeks, just how I did to him yesterday.
"You're blushing" he jokingly said while laughing.
"Am not!" I defended myself even though I knew I was.
"Come on let join that group over there" Marcel said before getting out of his seat and led me to the group in the front.

Class went by pretty fast, my group finished our project first and received the highest grade. I've never talked to the people in my group before, which I don't know why because they are such fun and smart people to be around with that me and Marcel became friends with them right away! The class was coming to an end, Ms. Hall returned to the front of the room to say her final speech.
"Okay class that went by smoothly, good job! So now that we got that out of the way I want you to think of someone you want to be partners with for this coming Science Fair! It's in about two weeks so once you think about who you want to work with you will need to start ASAP!" She yelled over the bell that rang during her speech. Everyone exited the classroom leaving me and Marcel behind.
"I don't even have to think about it, I want you to be my partner Sophia." <3
