chapter 1
Marissa was stood in the corridor lost in thought, oblivious to what was going on around her, when she felt soft fingers laced between her own caressing her hands. She looked up to see Alex smiling, her eyes twinkling with a look of pure happiness. Marissa returned the smile before hurredly removing her hand from Alex's grasp, her eyes patrolling the corridor to see if anyone had witnessed the moment of affection they had just shared. Marissa sighed seeing that everyone was too busy with their own problems to have noticed. Alex looked at Marissa confused and attempted to weave her hand in Marissa's a second time. Marissa pulled away and placed her hands in the pocket of her hooded top hoping that Alex wouldn't try again.
''Not now'' Marissa muttered under her breath.
''Have i done something wrong Riss?'' Alex asked sincerely, racking her brain to try and remember what she could have done to upset Marissa like this.
''No, no of course you havnt alex, I just, I mean its nothing i'm fine, we should really get to class we're gonna be really late''
''Come on Riss, I can tell somethings up, why wont you let me hold your hand?''
''Cause...I..there...''
''Tell me Riss''
''There are people here''
Alex stared at Marissa contemplating what she had just said ''Oh...ohh erm its okay I mean I understand if your not ready for this right now''
''No i'm totally ready alex, I want you, you know that''
'Then why does it matter what they think!'' she was beginning to raise her voice ''I don't just want to be your dirty little secret! are you ashamed of me? of us? Alex shouted on the verge of tears.
''I cant do this right now''
''Fine''
Alex stormed off, not wanting marissa to see her tears, to know how weak she became over her love for her. She wished she hadn't got so mad at Marissa, after all she knew how it felt. She remembered how confused she had felt two years ago when she had her first girlfriend.How scared she was of what people would think of her, and how nasty and immature the kids at her school were. After that Alex became tough, she grew confident, if people didn't like her for who she was then they wernt worth bothering with at all. Alex knew it would be hard for Marissa to show people who she truly was. Marissa was popular, pretty,'make that beautiful' Alex thought, and something like this could ruin her social status, 'but if she really loves me then she'll do the right thing, I don't want to live my life in secret, I want to shout it from the rooftops, I Love Marissa!'
