chapter 15:
On Monday Morning, Marissa slumped through the halls with her head down low. She knew
today was going to be hard, but little did she know it would become unbearable. She turned
the corner, the hallways becoming endless till she found her locker. After twisting the lock, and
pulling open the door; she discovered a note. It was a piece of parchment tied with a blue
ribbon. She gave a tiny smile and opened it.
Dear Marissa,
I'm really sorry for what happened, and I wanted you to know that.
"He still loves me" She thought, her eyes circling the paper. But slowly her smile fell.
I don't understand what happened, and I think we should take a break for me to be alone.
Sam
She threw the note on the ground and ran to the girls bathroom sobbing.
"Why, How could this happen?" She yelled to the ceiling. she locked herself in a stall and sat
down, her head in her bag. Not long after someone entered the bathroom.
"Honey why you hiding out in here?" The mystery voice called.
Marissa's head shot up.
"Alex! this is the Girl's room!" She yelled, unlocking the stall.
He shushed her and pulled her into a hug.
"No one needs to know do they, now tell Alex what's troubling thee" He said, putting a hand
on her head.
She sobbed harder, and choked out feigning words.
"Samuel kissed Lindsay... and then dumped me" She rubber her eyes into his shoulder.
They sat down on the little bench in the bathroom, and Alex told Marissa how amazing she
was until lunch. At lunch, Marissa sat alone next to Damian in a corner. No one could see
them really, because they were hunched over and silent. Apparently Samuel didn't see them,
because he coaxed Lindsay to stand on the table, And sing!
She rolled her eyes, and gave a simple scale; which received rounds of applause. Samuel
smiled and pulled her down next to him.
"Lindsay, I haven't had much time, but I can't stop thinking about you. That Kiss was a perfect
mistake. Will you be my girlfriend?" He questioned.
Marissa gasped and hid her face, while Damian intently stared, waiting for Lindsay's
response.
"Sam...I think you may be right. We have other things but we can give it a try. Yes, I will"
He Grinned crazily and hugged her tight. Lindsay laughed, and placed a small kiss on his
forehead.
At this point, Damian couldn't take it any longer. He pulled down his hood and walked quietly
next to the happy couple, Tears streaming down his face. Lindsay gasped, and grabbed
Samuel, running towards the door. Stares poured onto Damian's blank expression like a
flood. The school day dragged by like a turtle race. At the end of the day, Marissa was
relieved, and depressed horribly. As she slowly packed up her things, Damian shut her locker,
and whisked her all the way to the inside of his house.
"Whoa Damo, what's up with the kidnapping?" She half smirked.
"Sorry, But I just had a Bang-on idea, If Lindsay and Samuel can fall in love, maybe so can
we!" He grinned.
Marissa thought it over in her head, this could be true. Finally she nodded and leaned over to
Damian. She gave him a deep kiss on the lips, and he returned it with as much lust. After a
minute or two they broke apart. They both shook their heads furiously.
"It was great, but awkward." Damian sighed.
"I know it's like kissing my brother or something" She sighed. It wasn't working.
"I love you Mars, and you're an amazing kisser, but you're like my sister"
"Exactly! You're good too, its just not right. I got it, We pretend it's someone else we're
kissing!'' She exclaimed
"Of course, that will work!" Damian said.
They moved forward once more, and kissed again, this time more passionate. Damian leaned
back, till he was on the floor; Marissa on top of him. He pushed her hair out of the way, and
looked at her face. As soon as his eyes locked on the curly red hair, he lost it.
"Mars, this isn't good. We both know who we were thinking of." He said, breaking their steamy
embrace. She hung her head, and knew it wasn't right.
'But, we can still pretend to date. But we have to act as if it's completely real, With
EVERYONE" She said frustrated.
"That's a good idea, Mars, will you be my fake girlfriend for as long as their relationship shall
live?" He snickered, giving Marissa a wink.
"Of course you silly leprechaun" She said, pulling Damo teasingly by the tie into a kiss.
"Man is She good at this" Damian thought to himself, Pulling Marissa in closer.
"Damo...?" Coach Beiste asked, shocked at the sight of Damian kissing Marissa.
"Uh Auntie Shannon, I'm dating Marissa now." He falters, grabbing hold of Marissa's hand.
"Okay, just keep it upstairs in your room, or keep it PG for Rosie" She smiles.
"Of course Auntie Shannon" He smiles, moving farther from Marissa.
Coach Beiste gives him a strange look, and leaves to do laundry. Damian turns his attention
back to Marissa.
"I don't think I can do this. It's to weird! I don't like you like that Mars." He said, hanging his
head.
She leans next to him. "Me either, I only have eyes for Samuel."
They sat in silent assessing the situation. They wanted to make Lindsay and Samuel jealous,
but they didn't want to date each other. They shot ideas back in forth for about an hour, but
nothing would work.
"What about you dress really pretty whenever Samuel sees you." Damian sighed
"Okay, and you can stop wearing green so much" She smirked at his expression.
"For Lindsay" He grumbles to himself
Finally after hours, they cam up with no plan.
"I have to go Damo, see you tomorrow" Marissa says collecting her things
"Bye" he said, shutting the door behind her.
"Damian, start talking" Coach Beiste said, turning him to face her.
"What do you mean?" He asked shakily, not looking her in the eyes.
"You know exactly what I mean, what about Lindsay? I thought you liked her. Don't get me
wrong, Marissa is wonderful, but what's happening?" She asked, running a hand through his
hair.
"Lindsay dumped me for Marissa's boyfriend so Marissa and I were gonna pretend to date to
make them jealous, but it didn't work out" He mumbled, sitting down on the couch.
"Oh Damo, you don't have to pretend. If she is smart in any way, the time will come for her to
realize." She said comforting him.
"Realize what?" He asked, looking up.
"You are the most amazing boy for her, she would be lucky to have you Damo"
He slowly produced a small smile "Thanks Auntie Shannon"
"No Problem Damo" She said, hugging him one more time, then proceeding upstairs.
Damian thought over what she had said, and slowly fell asleep on the couch.
The next morning, Cameron woke up to the blinding light of the sun streaming through his
windows. He covered his eyes, and blindly felt his way around the room. As he reached his
target, he grabbed hold of the sides, and slammed them together. After his vision regained,
he realized what he should do. All his life, he had been shutting things out. His mom, his
feelings towards Hannah, and his talents.
He got dressed, and opened up the curtains. "I'm opening up the curtain!" He shouted.
"Cameron dear, will you please Shut Up?" His neighbor yelled from her front lawn.
"Of course, Sorry Ms. Canterbury" He then made his way downstairs, and down to the bus
stop. He ran giddily through his lawn, and came bounding down the street like a young child
on Christmas.
"You sure seem in a good mood today" Samuel observed.
"Don't ruin my day by talking to me traitor" Cameron said flashing a smile, and going over to
Ellis. Sam hung his head, and knew Cameron was right, he was a traitor.
"Whoa Cam, chill out" Ellis said, backing away slowly from the scarily eager Cameron.
"I'm gonna do it, I'm going to ask her! And I'll say Hannah..." Cameron shouted, being
stopped mid-sentence
"Ask me what?'' Hannah said behind him cheerily.
Cameron turned around and looked Hannah in the eyes.
"Hannah, would you like to hang out today, with me? Cameron asked confidently.
"No" She shook her head.
His face fell, and he looked from Ellis to Hannah. He didn't say anything till Hannah burst out
laughing.
"I can't today because I have volleyball, but Any other time I would love to" She said, still
stifling giggles. His eyes re-lit and The illuminating smile found it's way back also.
"Really? I mean Great sure." He stumbled over the words beaming.
Hannah laughed and hugged Cameron tightly. Cameron glanced over at Ellis who was
flashing him a thumbs up, and Samuel who was kicking a rock across the ground. The bus
ride there was uneventful as usual, but right before the four of them headed into the jungles of
Mckinley High, Cameron grabbed hold of Hannah's hand, and felt as if this day would be one
to remember.
