Srry i didn't update! I know at least one person was mad...oh wellz. I think the responding to reveiws is utterly pointless since there was only one reveiw and i basically responded already, wait...No, there not controllers, they hate animorphs. You know David right? Crazy guy? Found blue box? Anywho, it will make lots more sence if you know who he is.
Chapter #2
I looked at Alex. "Well, I'll see you later! I gotta get ready for my date you made me go on!" He laughed.
"You wanted to go, don't lie!"
"It will be nice to see what he's been up-to these past months" I said.
" 'Ight, See yah later tonight after your hot date!" I hit him in the arm as hard as I could, which ended up being pretty hard since he winced in pain.
"Oh…gee…sorry.." I said sympathetically.
"Bye!" he said.
"Oh, k….bye" I trotted off.
I entered my crummy house seconds later. (I live across the street from Alex)
Mya, May and Amy. (My lil' sisters triplets gag…) were begging my mom to go to the mall.
"Hey mom!" I shoved the three out of the way.
"Yes honey?"
"I have a date tonight, okay?"
"Sure," I started to head to my room when she asked the dreaded question. "who's the boy?"
"You know……..ah…..um….." I made it look like I didn't care. "Marco, right?"
She smiled, and I swear I head her laugh quietly. "Your seriously going with Marco?"
"Yes I'm seriously going with Marco." I mimicked.
"Okay. Be back by nine."
"Where going to a movie at seven."
"What one?"
"Um……….The Grudge?"
"A horror movie?"
"Yah, it'll be done by eight forty-five."
"Okay!"
I ran upstairs to my room and got ready. The doorbell rang and exactly seven-o'clock. "Don't answer it!" I ran down stairs.
"Your wearing that? Ew!" The clones said. I looked down at my black Emily The Strange shirt, and jeans with holes in the knee's.
"What's wrong with this?"
"You look like you just got out of the crypt."
"At least I did my hair!" I said, looking dumbly at them.
May pointed to my hair. "that, looks like you curled your hair…"
Amy continued. "Then danced in the rain!"
"Well its suites me then!" I answered the door to see Marco. "Hey!"
He smile. "Hi Rayn, Ready to go?" I nodded. Then hooked my wallet to my pants and tucked it into my pocket, and threw on a hoody. "By mom"
I lead Marco down the drive way and down the street.
"Soooooo….." I said. There was an awkward pause…I hate those, so I said so again, and a few seconds later, he started asking me stuff. I hate stuff to.
"Hey, who were you hanging out with at the park?" he asked.
"Uh, Sarah, Alex, Josh, Cory, Jane, Stacy and Davi…." I stopped myself.
"What was that last one?"
"Uh, Stacy?" I said stupidly.
"No, the last last one."
"Davi?"
"David? I thought I recognized him!"
I played stupid. "Who? You know David? I mean Davi?"
He rolled his eyes. "Uh…yah.."
"Where from? You guys friends or something?"
"You could say that."
This was fun….hahaha…. "What do you mean?"
"I never so much…liked him."
"Why? She seems nice enough."
"Your serious? He's crazy!"
I was just getting mad. I turned around to face him and walked backwards. Swinging his arms back and forth (yes I was holding his hands…now that I think about it, ew…) "Or, Maybe, your just following your friends in saying that! I bet you'd like him if you got to know him!"
"I highly doubt that."
"Jack ass…" I mumbled.
"What?" I turned sharply around and tripped over my feet.
"BUGGER!" I yelled as I fell into the ditch. Damn roots.
"Are you okay?" He asked running up to me.
"Never better!" I grinned. He sighed and took my hand lifting me up from the ditch. The back of my hoody was wet. Great, since this was already fun!
I swear if he wasn't there I would have cursed blue murder, but that's not lady like is it now? (as if I'm lady like at all……)
"Great! New hoody!" I screeched. He smiled. "What? What's so funny?"
He grinned. "Your hair looks the same!" I giggled to…..I need a new curling iron.
So after that we were off, over to the theaters. I wrapped my arms around myself. I hadn't expected it to be so cold! He shifted around I didn't bother looking, and then suddenly, warmth all around me! It was like a sauna, I looked up, he had wrapped his jacket around me. I just smiled. Maybe Marco wasn't so evil after all, or…..maybe it was an act! HAHA! Cant hide it from me! I just grinned dully and looked at my feet. I guess that wasn't what he expected he muttered something that sounded like one of those 'note to self' things. I didn't want him to feel completely bad so I mumbled. "Thanks"
He grinned a little. No doubt he was getting cold. Why did I have to live so dang far from the theaters? I didn't stop myself from cursing blue murder and he just looked at me. I looked up. "What? Am I not aloud to swear now?" He just grinned. I don't know what it was with him, but something about him just made me dunno, I'm just a weird person that way. He was still evil.
Still Marco. Still an Animorph.
And as much as I hated to admit it, He was still my enemy.
He put his arm around my waist, probably because of the cold.
I sighed and accepted it instead of fighting away.
Finally we got to the damned movie. I could tell he was freezing, his lips were nearly blue.
The movie ended, I thought it would be better honestly. So where were we going? Home. He said if we had more time he would have taken me to Mickey D's. McDonalds incase you were wondering.
The walk back was longer than the walk to the theaters, I didn't mind. I wanted to catch up, and the walk back gave me that opportunity.
"So, what have you been up to for the past few months?" I asked curiously.
Fighting evil? Killing yeerks? Trying to take over the world? Meeting in Cassie's barn each weekend and most week days? Avoiding me? I thought Does that sum it up?
He walked thinking. "I've practically flunked four subjects, catching up keeps me pretty busy I guess…."
"I haven't seen you around town. And when I do your with your quirky friends playing double-0-7 or something in stupid outfits that fit you when you were 6, and then you guys all vanish!" I said. He froze, completely. He didn't walk, or talk, he just looked at me. "Your not the only one that wanted to see me….I mean…Go out. What's the word I'm looking for? To like….catch up, again." He sighed, and rubbed his forehead. I walked up to him. "What?"
"You…..where do you see me and my friends?"
"Tons of weird places! Buildings I didn't even know existed! You'll go down an alley, and I'll run down to talk to you and your not there! It's really creepy! I'm all like, 'hey, Marco went down there, maybe he wants to go to the arcade or something!' and then I'm like 'where the hell did Marco go'!" It was kind of true! I mean, I did that a few times before I met David.
He looked……frustrated. Oh joy! You rarely see Marco frustrated, so it's fun when you do. "Why'd we lose touch anyway?" I asked.
He suddenly looked mad. "We didn't lose anything! I'd phone, and you'd say you'd phone back, and you wouldn't! And then, we'd plan to meet somewhere and you wouldn't show up! I'd call, and leave a message that never got answered. Things changed. You wouldn't say hi when I said hi walking by you in the hallways or mall, you wouldn't sit next to me in class, wouldn't partner with me for projects, or eat with me, you just avoided me! Nothing happened suddenly changed, you….." He stopped when his voice cracked. I forgot about that. I really didn't mean to make him so upset, really. I just didn't want to hang out, David had me thinking he was completely evil. Maybe David was evil! What it was like…opposite! Wow! Deep!
I looked up at him. Dam I was short! "I'm sorry…..I didn't mean for that to happen….I just, I guess…"
"Its fine…" He was crying, I felt horrible! I was disgusted with myself. How could I do that to Marco? He was always so nice to me.
"No, its not. I was….uncalled for……I shouldn't have done that, I'm sorry." He smiled weakly. "Oh I'm sorry." I said giving him a hug. He slowly stopped crying and hugged me back. We started walking again.
And at the moment, I was mad. Hopefully, David wouldn't get in my way for a very long time. For his own good.
