A few days had passed since Marco and Hazel had spoken. He had been on all three of his friends to finish the paperwork for Banting. Ellie never gave him a problem, but both Alex and Darius were getting fed up with his pestering.
"Come on guys why are you doing this?"
"Marco you are annoying the hell out of me…"
"But don't you want to be with Paige"
"You know I want to be with Paige…But you hounding me every other hour is not helping. My boss keeps looking at me since I have to check my phone from your text messages", Alex replied
"I am sorry…I just got a little excited and I didn't mean any harm"
"I know you didn't, it's just I don't want to lose this job yet"
"I understand…You are waiting to get into Banting?"
"Yeah…I know that even though there is a chance of me not getting Paige back, at least I can still get an education"
"That's true…Hey Darius"
"Yes Marco"
"Guess what?"
"What?"
"Manny is thinking of going to Banting in the fall term"
"Shut up"
"Come on man…Admit you like her"
"Why are you hounding me about this?"
"Because everyone deserves to be loved and I know you want her"
Darius sighed, "Fine I think she is hot…But she is so into Craig Manning"
"That doesn't mean she won't give you a chance"
"Yes it does…I wish there was another way, but I know it's a lost cause"
Marco sighed
"Look here's my paperwork and have Hazel turn it in…I am going to get some air"
With that they watch their friend leave the table and head outside
