Marko and Marcy had been seeing each other for three weeks now. They talked about old times and such and would go to the beach.
Marko was now walking Marcy home.
"I had a wonderful time," said Marcy, holding Marko's hand.
"So did I," said Marko.
They stopped in front of Marcy's house. It was a nice house.
"You did pretty good for yourself," said Marko.
"Thanks," said Marcy, smiling.
'She has a beautiful smile,' thought Marko.
Then Marcy wrapped her arms around Marko's neck and looked him in the eyes.
"Marcy?"
"There's something I need to tell you, Flint. Ever since I saw you at the deli for the first time in years, I couldn't stop thinking about you. Flint, I think I'm in love with you."
Marko was surprised to hear that. Then he smiled and wrapped his arms around Marcy.
"I love you too, Marcy."
Their lips met.
Peter was taking out the garbage. He was going to go back inside when Mary Jane came outside.
"Hey, Mary Jane," said Peter.
"Hey, Tiger," said Mary Jane. "Haven't seen you in awhile."
"Yeah, I've been pretty busy."
Some yelling could be heard at Mary Jane's house.
"My mom came to visit me," explained Mary. "And so did my dad." She made a sour face. "My parent never get along. They always yell. And my dad's an abusive, alcoholic jerk. That's why my mom sent me to live with my aunt."
"He's never hit you, has he?"
"He's never hit me, but he would hit my mom. The abuse he gave me was verbal."
"I'm really sorry, MJ."
"It's okay. So, what are your plans after graduation?"
"Well, I'd like to move into the city, and be a photographer."
That's cool. I'd like to movie into the city too. And be an actress."
"That's a prefect job for you. You have talent. I've seen you practice for the school play A Midsummer Night's Dream. You're amazing."
Mary Jane smiled. "Thanks, Peter."
"Peter?" called Aunt May. "Come inside. You have school tomorrow."
"I gotta go," said Peter. "See ya."
"See ya, Tiger."
