Marc went chasing after Olivia "Liv wait, please wait for me" he begged walking fast. Happy to see that she stopped to wait.

Marc saw the tearing up in her eyes "I'm so sorry baby, I'm sorry for bringing it up again. It won't happen again" he reassured her.

Olivia didn't say anything else; she just hugged him tight and then took his hand. They walked to the lunch room, just to be greeted by the bell ringing. They looked at each other smiled and laughed before turning around and leaving the way they came from. Their class was now Ms. Piedmont science. They went and took their normal seats. Everyone wasn't done piling in until three minuets after the bell rang. After about three more minuets Ms. Piedmont finally came out from behind her desk and faced the class.

"Good day class" she said with they expected unicycle response back to her.

"Okay well today I am assigning a partner project. Now you will only have two days in class and the rest you have to conduct with your partner on your own time" she explained.

She handed out the sheet that explained the project and the due dates in three weeks. The class was whispering work with me, when Ms. Piedmont interrupted "I'm going to be picking the groups."

The class faces went from content to frowns. Olivia looked at Marc and squeezed his hand tighter knowing that they probably wouldn't be together. It was getting close to the end of class.

"Why don't I pick the teams now" Ms. Piedmont said browsing at the group of students. "Lets see we will have Denise and Josh, Neenah and Carlos, Lisa and Mike, Paul and Olivia, Jen and Jake, Krissy and Mario, and finally Marc and Sandy" Ms. Piedmont said checking and double checking the list making sure that she got everyone.

Ms. Piedmont had them push their desks together so that the partners would get to know each other. Olivia and Marc both did not like their partners for the plain fact that Paul had a huge crush on Olivia and Sandy didn't have a problem showing her affection for Marc. When the bell rang they were happy to be able to hold hands again. At the end of the day they both met up at Olivia's locker. Olivia was there first, Marc came up behind her wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck "I love you" Marc whispered in her ear.

Olivia was about to answer back when Sandy came over. "If I'm not interrupting anything, Marc I would like to talk to you about the science project" she said while touching his muscle.

Marc turned placing Olivia in front of him before saying "talk."

Sandy looked at Olivia and how Marc still had his arms wrapped tightly around her and his chin resting snug on her shoulder. "I was thinking that we could work on the project at my place when the two days are up" she said forgetting that Olivia was still there and stared deeply into his eyes.

Olivia could feel Marc's arms tightening around her bringing her even closer than she already was. "No Sandy, if were working on this outside of school, were doing it at the clinic. To be honest we should be almost done by the time the second day is over" Marc said straight out to Sandy.

Sandy just nodded her head and stomped away. Olivia who then was given some slack away from Marc's body turned around and kissed him.

Marc and Olivia both went out the door. They walked to the clinic holding hands. When they got inside it was really bus, so they both said "hi" to Lana and sat down in their usual seats in the back. They did the little homework that they had and kissed a couple of times to waist time and because they liked it.

Peter walked by "stop making out you two" he said as he continued to walk by.

They both laughed, Olivia looked at her watch that was covering a bruise. "I got to go baby" Olivia said not wanting to get her mother mad.

"Okay sweetie, do you want me to walk you home?" Marc asked.

"No, its okay baby" Olivia replied as she kissed him, grabbed her bag and left.

When Olivia got home she was just on time. It didn't surprise Olivia that her mother was drunk and had a random guy at the house drunk also. Like always Olivia snuck by unnoticed and went up to her room and locked the door behind her. Olivia lay on her bed and fell asleep. She woke up to banging on her door and the screaming of her name. Olivia ignored it and turned on her bed. She placed her head on the mattress and the pillow on her ear to keep the noise down.

Olivia then heard a loud breaking noise; she removed the pillow from her ear and looked up to see her door had a hole in it. A hand was moving around the door knob to unlock it. When he got the lock undone, he removed his hand and opened the door.
