Chapter 3
A/N: Hey, thanks for the reviews. That was the most reviews I ever got.
Also, as Dave the L's gal pointed out, the title of the story is also the name of a Good Charlotte song. And that's where I got it. It was either Emotionless or Little Things and this title sounded better with the story. Yay. So, here is the next chapter. There really is no deep plot mentioned here, but Marco meets Ellie. Also, their in my Art class. It is based on my Art class at least. Hope you enjoy. Also, in the next chapter I'm including a whole flashback.

Marco was now going to his next class; which was Art. He had chosen this class, opposed to Music or Autoshop. Marco wasn't interested in those.
He walked into the class and the teacher told him to take a seat next to that Ellie girl he had seen at lunch. When he sat down he turned to her and said, "Hey, I'm Marco."
She looked at him strangely before stating, "Ellie."
"So, is this class any good?" he asked, trying to keep up a conversation with her.
She hesitated for a moment. She wasn't used to someone being genuinely nice to her. Then she answered, "It's fine, Mr. B gives good assignments. We're in the middle of learning one point perspective. And we already started practicing our shading. We just finished the egg."
"Sounds like I missed a lot. Would you mind if you helped me catch up? Tell me which materials we need and when?" he asked hopefully.
"Sure, I can meet you after school. And I'll show you the quick notes he makes us write," she offered.
"Thanks, how about I meet you in front of school at the end of the day?"
"Sure, no problem," Ellie agreed. She decided that he was being sincere. He seemed nice enough, but she had seen him with Paige and all of her friends. Well, if he was willing to be seen with then who was she to judge. It beats being at home anyway.
"Hey!" Mr. B said as he hit the desk. Ellie jumped and realized that she hadn't been paying attention. He started laughing when he saw her jump. "I feel bad now, she really got scared," he said laughing. Ellie made sure to pay attention for the rest of the class.
The rest of the day went by smoothly for Marco. In each class he was able to sit by someone he knew. He seemed to be becoming good friends with Spinner, Jimmy, and Ellie though.
Marco walked out of the building and saw Ellie sitting down in front. He walked up behind her and said, "Hey, you ready?"
She turned around and replied, "Yeah, lets go."
Ellie picked up her things and stood to walk with him. He just followed her lead.
"So where are we going?" Marco asked.
"There's this place called The Dot. You can get something to eat or drink and I'll catch you up on everything we did in class," she said.
"Sounds good."
They walked into The Dot sat down at a table in the back. They ordered two sodas and then went to work. Ellie took out her Art books and he took out loose-leaf.
"Okay, so what materials do I need?" he asked as soon as he had his pen out.
She told him what kind of pencils he needed, and which sketchbooks to get. "You got all that?" she stopped to make sure he had it all written down.
"Yeah is there anything else?"
"No, that's all so far. Mr. B will tell us when we need to bring in anything else," she said.
He put his pencil down. "Well, that's not too much," he said smiling.
"Just wait until you see all the assignments you have to make up," Ellie warned.
Marco laughed and said, "Lets just start with that shading you were talking about."
"Sure," she said.
For the next half hour Ellie showed Marco everything they had done. She explained the shading and what Mr. B was looking for. And she even drew him a quick sketches as examples. When they were finally finished Marco offered to walk Ellie home.
As they were walking Marco says, "Thanks again, I'm officially caught up in one class."
She laughs at the small joke and replies, "I'm glad I could help." She then stops at her house and says, "This is where we separate, I'll see you tomorrow at school."
"Bye," he replies. She starts walking up her stairs until she hear Marco call her. Ellie turns around and he says with a smile, "Save me a seat at lunch tomorrow."
Ellie mock glares at him and replies, "Was that a cheap stab at how I was sitting alone today or are you serious."
Marco grins at her and just states, "Both." Then he turns around and walks towards his own house. She stares after him and she can't help noticing that he was different then everybody else in school. In her books that was a good thing. He was the kind of guy who didn't have a problem with their outer appearance. Not many people are like that. He'd be fine though, unless he decided to trust the wrong people.
