AUTHOR'S NOTE
Well guys, here I am. My first ever story.
Hopefully I don't suck.
But, here I am. This is just a fun little Marhinki/Iancorn fic.
(To make up for the lack of Ianthony in this story, I will be making a collection of Ianthony one-shots sometime in the future, so look forward to that.)
Anyway, here we go.
"Hey Anthony, wanna hang with me and the gang? Ian, too." It was the end of the day. Anthony was getting ready to go home and play video games, but he could play with Josh, David, Matt, Mari, Ian, Wes, and Flitz.
"My friend will accept." said Ian, coming up behind Anthony and putting his arm around his shoulder.
"Great! We'll meet at David's car in 10 minutes." said Mari. She ran off, probably to her boyfriend Peter. Peter was always a little overprotective and jealous, since Mari's friends were all guys and she spent almost all of her time with them.
Ian and Anthony headed to the school's parking lot. When they got there, that already saw the whole gang piled into David's giant red car. Mari and Matt were standing through the sunroof and waved to them. It was obvious Matt (well, everyone in the gang) had a thing for Mari, but it was also obvious she liked him back.
They got in the back of the car next to Josh who was on his phone, playing some game.
"IT WAS LAGGING!" he yelled, and threw his phone at David in the front seat.
"#JoshRage!" said everyone in unison, laughing. The car started driving unexpectedly, with Mari and Matt still standing through the sunroof.
"God dammit, David!" yelled Matt as he and Mari fell back in the car, laughing. David cackled as they drove toward his house. Josh's face was still red with rage, but he laughed nonetheless.
"David, can I have my phone back?" Josh asked.
David thought for a second, before finally answering "No."
Josh scowled at him and stuck out his tongue, which only caused David to laugh.
"Why am I friends with you people?" asked Anthony.
"Because we're amazing, that's why." Mari said, as David turned on the radio and they all sang along to one of their favorite songs.
-TIME SKIP-
"PIZZA!" yelled Mari, running to the door. She grabbed David's cash off the table and gave it to the pizza guy. They paused the game (Gang Beasts). David, Matt, Anthony, and Josh were playing. They had a system: half of them would play, and the other half would feed their partner. The pairings were David and Ian, Matt and Mari (for obvious reasons), Anthony and Wes, and Josh and Flitz.
"Oh my god, Josh, I just grabbed your balls!" said David, laughing and pointing at the screen. Everyone laughed and the round ended minutes later (Matt won). The players switched and started a new round.
"No, no, NO, NO, GOD DAMMIT!" yelled Mari as Josh threw her in the incinerator, killing her with no lives left. She threw her controller on the carpet as her phone buzzed. Her face fell as soon as she looked at it.
"It's Peter. I- I have to go." she said. She grabbed her purse, took one last look at Matt, then left.
-TIME SKIP-
"Why were you hanging out with those guys again?" yelled Peter, right as Mari walked through the door.
"'Those guys' are my friends!"
"Why? You know how I feel about them."
"It's not your decision to make. Anyway, how did you even know I was over there?"
"Olivia told me."
"That bitch. You know, if you have a problem with me being who I fucking am, we can just break up." Tears were forming in her eyes. Not now, tears, she thought, but they came down anyway."
"Fine. If you can't even change yourself for me, we should break up."
"Me? At least I dont shamelessly flirt with everyone on the planet! Before you accuse me of not caring about your wishes or whatever-the-fuck, you should look back on how you've made me feel in the past." With that, she left, going back to her house, alone.
-TIME SKIP-
"Mari, what happened last night?" asked Matt, opening Mari's front door. Since her parents were rarely home, she gave him a key in case anything ever happened.
Mari burst into tears. She told herself that she wouldn't tell the guys what happened, but she couldn't help crying. Matt immediately started comforting her, already knowing the answer. They went inside, and Mari just vented, tears streaming down her face. She told him everything, including the part about Peter being jealous of the guys.
Matt couldn't help but feel guilty. It was their fault that they had broken up. But then he realized that Mari was happiest when she was with the guys, so if she had stayed with Peter, they couldn't hang out together, which was when they were truly happy.
"Come on, we can go to my house, it's less lonely there." Mari understood that when she went outside and saw David's red car with the whole gang piled into it. They all waved to her, and she allready felt better.
She got in the car, in her usual seat next to Matt. David hit the gas and started going to Matt's house.
"How about some Pokemon?" asked Anthony, using Bluetooth to connect his phone to the car and playing the theme song really loud. David opened all the windows and blasted the song, as they all leaned out the windows and lip-synced:
'I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST, LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS…'
And when the chorus hit, they all yelled:
"POKEMON! GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL…"
They kept repeating the song until they got to their destination.
"I think I have permanent ear damage." said Josh, with his finger in his ear.
"Same, but it was worth it." said Matt, grinning.
He was right. For the first time since yesterday, she was happy.

"Mari, do you want to sit with us at lunch?" asked Olivia, with Courtney standing beside her.
"No, I'm fine sitting where I normally do." she said.
"Okay, then." said Courtney, walking away. They were part of the popular crowd, along with Noah, Shayne, Keith, and Peter. It's not like Mari didn't like them or anything, she was just interested in video games, not shoes and makeup. Besides, she couldn't bear to be in the same vicinity as Peter. But Noah was fine; sometimes he would hang out with the gang. She never really talked to Keith or Shayne much, anyway.
She closed her locker and headed to the bathroom to write in her diary. She closed the stall door and sat on the toilet.. Before she could even open her diary, she heard the door open.
"Oh my gosh. She is so annoying!" It was Olivia's voice. She also recognized Courtney's shoes from under the door.
"Why does she hang out with those stupid guys?" Definitely Courtney. "If she was more normal, maybe Peter wouldn't have broken up with her. I bet she's fucked them all." Okay, those words actually stung.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. He broke up with her because we totally hooked up. I guess he has a thing for Asians." Mari was full-on crying now. How could one of her best girl friends (well, one of her only girl friends) betray her like that? And Peter, her boyfriend of 2 years? Mari sniffed. Uh oh.
"Who's there?" Courtney asked. Mari put her feet up so she wouldn't see them, but it was too late. Courtney stuck her selfie stick under the door and unlocked it. The door swung open and Mari looked up, tears still streaming down her face.
"Is what you said true?"
"Uh…" Having no other way out of the question, Olivia put on an evil smile.
"Yes."
Alrighty then!
Hopefully you enjoyed my first chapter of my first story!
By the way, I don't hate Olivia, Courtney, or Peter. I love all of those people, and I think Mari and Peter make a really cute couple. I just made them have a "villain" role in this because they were really the only people who could fit into those roles effectively. Lots of love to those people, no bad intentions at all.
Please leave a review, I would really appreciate it.
I need to know if my writing is a piece of shit or not.
Alright well, expect more updates in the future! Bye!
