Marley's POV

Marley hurried out of the front door, attempting to put on her jacket as she did so as well as hauling her heavy backpack. She had been leaving later than usual the past few weeks in the hope that she'd get to school just in time without bumping into the one person she didn't want to see since the wedding.

"Marley!", Came her moms voice from behind her. She turned around .

"Yes mom?", She asked.

"You forgot your lunch", Her mom called to her.

Marley sighed. It wasn't the first time she had forgotten something. In fact she forgot something nearly every day because she would be in such a hurry. She quickly ran back to her mom, who was holding her lunch in her hand.

"Thanks, mom", Marley said grinning and taking her lunch.

"No problem sweetie. Maybe you should start getting up earlier again so you have more time to get ready.", Millie replied, smiling at her daughter's forgetfulness.

"I've just been really tired lately, so I thought sleeping in a bit later in the mornings would help", Marley lied.

"Or maybe you could go to sleep earlier?", Millie suggested.

Marley chuckled. "I should get going", She told her mom, giving her a quick hug before speed walking to school.

Marley arrived at school with just a few minutes until first period. Just enough time to go to her locker and unload some books from her extremely heavy bag. She opened her locker, the inside decorated with pictures of her mom, her and Jake and the Glee Club. One of the pictures of the Glee Club featured everyone pulling a silly face. Marley was sat between Jake and Ryder, who both had one arm around each of her shoulders. She smiled at the memory, however a wave of guilt swept over her when she remembered the current situation. How she and Ryder were avoiding each other at all costs and how her relationship with Jake was falling to pieces. She couldn't help but think that Jake was slightly suspicious of her and Ryder since Valentine's Day.

"Hey, babe", came Jake's voice from behind Marley as he snaked his arms around her waist. Marley hated it when Jake called her 'babe'. For some reason, it made her feel like she was just another girl he could check off his list. No one special.

"Hi", she replied, plastering a fake smile on her face. She turned around so she was facing Jake.

"So I couldn't stop thinking about you", Jake told Marley.

Marley sighed. I wonder how many girls he's said that to she thought to herself as she remembered overhearing him tell this to Kitty when he was dating her, but she smiled nonetheless. "Really?", she replied, smiling weakly.

"Yeah, I was thinking about how I have got a surprise for you at lunch and that I can't wait.", he said grinning widely.

"Oh" Marley said, raising her eyebrows.

"But of course it's a surprise, so you'll just have to wait until then", Jake said winking, obviously trying to tease her.

Marley felt guilty again. I have to tell him soon she thought to herself, feeling bad about the fact that he was being so sweet, oblivious about what had happened between her and Ryder. She smiled at him. "I can't wait", she told him trying to sound as positive as possible.

"I should really get going to Spanish", Jake said and kissed her on the cheek before walking down the corridor. Marley watched Jake disappear into the crowd of students also trying to get to class before the bell went. She had dreamed of going out with Jake Puckerman for months and she finally got what she wished for, so why could she not stop thinking about her kiss with Ryder? As if on cue, Kitty strutted up to Marley.

"Hey Barf Breath, told Three Nipples about how you sucked face with Bieber 2.0 yet?" She greeted.

Marley rolled her eyes, deciding to ignore Kitty's insults. "No, not yet", she admitted.

"Let me guess. You love Jake but you can't stop thinking about Ryder and you don't know what to do and bla bla bla", Kitty stated.

It's like she can read minds, Marley thought to herself.

"No...Yes...I don't know, Kitty. I'm so confused! What should I do?", Marley asked hoping Kitty would be serious for once and possibly give her some decent advice about the situation.

Kitty rolled her eyes, but obviously she chose not to say whatever snide comment she had in mind. "Well if I were you, I would tell Three Nipples soon, before someone else does." she said, and without another word she stalked off to her first lesson, leaving a worried Marley on her own. What did Kitty mean? Would she tell Jake if Marley didn't soon? Marley tried to convince herself that Kitty's not that type of person, she would never do that, but she knew fine well what Kitty was capable of.

Marley hurried off to her biology class with a worried expression on her face and Kitty's words playing on her mind.

So what did you think? Please review and tell me what you think; It will really help me to improve and make the story more interesting!
