Chapter 5
"Yeah I told him,"…"Wa?"…"No he just stood there, well you know what can you say?"…"Should I forgive him though Djaq?, I mean its gonna be really hard".
It was Tuesday morning and Marian was getting ready for school, while on the phone to Djaq stating the events that happened yesterday after school . She had told Robin what happened the day he left, how she had gone looking for him and him not being there at a time that she needed him the most.
Robin had wandered home in a kind of daze after that. He kept beating himself up about it, maybe if he told her the reason why he had to leave in the first place…
"Well Djaq I'm gonna go now"…"Yeah I'll see you in a bit, bye". Marian hung up the phone and made her way to school.
Robin Walked over to Much, Alan and will in the school yard,
"So guys, when was you gonna tell me that the day I left. Marians mom died, I mean you know it might of helped me out a bit!"
The gang was surprised at his sudden out burst.
"Well it wore really out place to tell you was it mate" Alan said,
"Yeah and Djaq told us not to tell you, that Marian would tell you when she was ready" Will continued.
"Yeah well she told me yesterday…I cant believe it, I need to find a way to make It up to her, for her to forgive me", Robin fought for a moment.
"Well" Much started, "There's always The Lake party…"
The gang sat at their favourite table in their form room, it still hadn't changed from since Robin left.
Robin was sitting at the far end of the table trying to catch Marians eye, Will and Djaq were sitting next to each other and so were Alan and Much.
"Right form please listen up" Their form teacher Mrs Hadley spoke, "The Lake Party is Friday night, it will also be used as a fundraiser for new school equipment. There will also be a midnight party for year elevens only so I hope you all have a good night. Right pack up your stuff and make your way to first lesson"
The gang left their table and headed towards the classroom door. Marian and Djaq left first as the four boys were lingering back, talking.
"Right, so now she wont even make eye contact with me, how am I supposed to convince her to hang out with me at the Lake Party?" Robin asked.
"Look mate, when her mom died she was torn up you know and all she needed was her boyfriend but you left without a single goodbye…"
"Yeah but you know the reason I did Alan" Robin argued back.
"But she doesn't though" Will interrupted.
Robin just looked down to the ground, he ran his hand through his hair, he did this quite often when he was frustrated with something. The lake party was the last chance he had at getting Marian to forgive him and he wasn't going to mess it up either!
The day was over pretty quickly, and so was the rest of the week before they knew it, it was Friday and the Lake Party was just a couple of hours ahead.
Alan, Will Much and Robin were staying late at school as they had football training, then they were quickly walking back to get ready for the night, so it was only Djaq and Marian walking back.
"Ha you should have seen Robins face when Guy tried to hold your hand"
Djaq laughed remembering some of the tings that had happened earlier in the week as this was there only chance to talk about it, they were normally with the boys most of the time, "But seriously Marian, I know he really hurt you and you find it really hard to trust him now but I really think you should forgive him or at least talk to him."
Marian let the wind sweep her hair from her face, yes deep down she knew Djaq was right, maybe she should just ask Robin why he left see what his reason was.
They arrived at their houses and said goodbye to each other both running up to their rooms to try and pick out an outfit they were going to wear tonight. Marian suddenly thought to her self, this was going to be just like old times, although she wouldn't ever admit it to anyone, but she kind of liked that idea…
