Two weeks.

Two weeks and no contact from Marcus. Yeah, two weeks might was not bad but when you're separated to someone who were close to... it is long as hell.

It was very hard ignoring Marcus in those two weeks. Thankfully, we had no subjects that we had together so that was good. The only problem was at lunchtime, our tables were literally across eachother. Marcus and I would glance at eachother from time to time but we wouldn't smile at eachother, I would pretend that it just was a meaningless glance.

I blinked, unaware that I was staring at my phone all this time. I sighed, a tear fell from my eye and I sat upright.

He probably hated me now.

The thought made me want to cry but I cleared all the thoughts in my head and I stood up from bed. I placed my phone on my nightstand and I took a look at my alarm clock. It was 6 am.

I don't wake up at this time, usually I wake up at 7 am but since I had a lot on my mind, it was impossible to sleep. I walked out my bedroom, entering the dark hallway. Rubbing my eyes, I walked to the bathroom and went in.

I looked at my reflection. Staring at my messy hair and my eyes were slightly red. Staring at myself, I seemed dull, despondent and disheartened. I felt dull, despondent and disheartened.

I chuckled. "All because of that idiot," I murmured to myself. Minutes later, I brushed my teeth and took a long shower. I stepped out the shower and wrapped myself with a white towel around my torso. I returned to my bedroom and went to my closet.

I stared at the row of oversized hoodies in my closet, arranged from the darkest colour to the lightest. So were the shoes arranged from darkest to lightest.

I decided to wear an oversized, rose-coloured hoodie and rose-coloured sneakers. I always wore shorts under my hoodies, though it wasn't visible and it didn't look like I was wearing anything under my hoodie.

I wore the chosen outfit and I walked to the full-length mirror, tying my hair into a ponytail. I grabbed my backpack and left my room. I descended the stairs and made myself breakfast.

I went to the living room, sitting on the couch. I took out my phone and sighed.

I went to Marcus' contact.

Clearly I hadn't gotten over him. I read our previous chats, tears welling up in my eyes.

I missed him.

I wanted to delete his number and forget him.

But I couldn't.

I dropped my phone and continued eating my food. Suddenly a ringing sound played on my phone. I furrowed my eyebrows and picked up the phone.

My eyes widened when I realised I had accidentally called Marcus' number. He answered the call and I froze, staring at my screen in shock. My hand flew to my mouth, blocking the breath that had escaped from my mouth. I quickly pressed the end call button and I heaved a breath I have been holding in for long.

"Alyssa?" my mother said, startling me.

"Yes mom?" I replied, standing up and looking at her.

"On Friday, Alyson and I are leaving for this camping trip their class have. It's a week long," she said.

"Oh, Friday?" I repeated.

Mom nodded,"Yes and I trust you to stay alone and guard the house."

"Of course mom, this isn't the first time," I said.

"You're right sweetie, you need a ride to school?" she asked.

I shook my head,"I'm kinda early so I'll walk."

"Okay sweetie, enjoy your day at school," she said and kissed my cheek.

"Bye mom." I took my backpack and phone. I knew I was leaving the house a bit early but if I walked to school from here, I wouldn't arrive that early.

I walked to school, hoping not to encounter that strange man in the car. The school was barely full with students and since it was drizzling, most students were inside. I also want in the building and stood by my locker, hoping Aaliyah would show up.

"Hey Alyssa," a familiar voice said and I turned my head to her. Aeri and Emma stood beside me and I smiled at them.

"Hey Aeri and Emma, it's been long since I've seen you guys," I said.

Aeri chuckled,"Well, we just saw you yesterday."

"Oh." I nodded, smiling.

"So... this week Friday, we planned to go to a Karaoke," Emma said. "And we'd like you to come with."

"Oh, thank you. I would love to come with," I said.

"Great." Aeri clapped her hands together. "Some of our friends are coming with, you can invite whoever you want."

"Thanks, I'll see you later." I smiled and they walked away.

Minutes passed while I was watching videos on my phone. It started crowding with students and it got a bit noiser. I put my phone back into my backpack.

I saw Sam and Kendall enter the school and I smiled at them when they had spotted me. They walked towards me and I hugged Sam then Kendall.

The bell rang later on while Sam, Kendall and I were talking to eachother. We went to our class and sat at our usual seats. The teacher took the register and the bell rang for the first period.

I left the room and went to my locker, taking out my books. I shut the locker door and tried walking through the crowd of students. Through the crowd, somehow I spotted a familiar figure in the crowd. He stood out.

Marcus.

I stared at him, missing hugging and kissing him. I missed being with him.

He was walking with one of his friends, both of them were smiling, laughing at a story that his friend was explaining.

Suddenly Marcus looked away from his friend then spotted me. Still smiling, he stared at me for a few seconds and I felt the world slow down. Then before I could react, he looked back at his friend and laughing again.

That past week, he looked happier.

While I was happier with him.

I shut my eyes, breathing deeply before heading to my class. After a couple classes later, it was lunchtime.

None of my friends I used to hang out with in the cafeteria so I was alone. But there was Sam and Kendall, though they were sitting with Marcus and with some other boys.

I walked in the cafeteria with my lunchbag in hand. Three empty tables at the end of the room. Bree was sitting with Aeri and Emma, Veronica was sitting with the other popular girls in school.

Those two never separated. So that meant they were not friends anymore, and Bree was kind of ignored by everyone.

If I sat with Aeri, I would literally be close to Marcus since the popular table was next to it. The table were cheerleaders sat was at the popular table, and the table beside the popular table.

I sighed and went to the table with Aeri. I sat on the available seat and I was literally back to back with Marcus.

"Hi." I smiled at Aeri and Emma.

Aeri noticed my uneasiness and looked across my shoulder. When she realised why I was nevrous,"Do you want to move tables?" she asked me.

"No, it's okay. You don't have to move because of me," I said and I heard Marcus stop talking. I heard him shift slightly and I could feel him staring at me.

I knew he was.

I looked at Bree who was glaring at me. We heard laughter from the popular group where Veronica was sitting and they were looking at Bree. Bree rolled her eyes. "Thanks a lot, Alyssa."

"I'm sorry geez," I murmured. "If you treated me kindly from the start, this would not have happened you know."

"Whatever," she mumbled and took a bite of her pizza.

"Looking forward to being your friend," I said, smirking.

Bree scoffed," I hate you."

"I hate you too, look we already have something in common," I joked. Aeri and Emma chuckled and looked at Bree.

Bree faked a smile and started eating another slice of her pizza,"So are you and Marcus not talking anymore?" Bree asked, not that loud but loud enough for Marcus to hear. My eyes widened and I froze.

Aeri and Emma shot Bree a look, "Bree," Emma whispered.

"What? I'm just asking a simple question." she smirked.

I turned around and saw Marcus turn away from me. I sighed,"Can we sit somewhere else?"

Aeri narrowed her eyes at Bree and looked back at me,"Sure. Come on." We all stood up expect Bree, she glared at me while we walked to another table for from Marcus' group. I felt a bit more comfortable here by I could still see Marcus from the corner of the eye.

Bree rolled her eyes and walked to us, sitting next to me.

We looked at eachother before giving eachother an obvious fake smile.

Torture.

Just fucking torture.

In the morning, my phone was ringing and I didn't pay much attention to who it was so I answered it, waiting for the person to speak. It was silence so I checked who was calling me.

I was too shocked to say anything. The past week without speaking to her, touching her, hugging her and kissing her was horrible. I knew I wouldn't move on that quickly, I knew I would think about her 24/7. Who am I kidding, I thought about her 24/7 even when we were 'dating'.

Now it was fucking torture. My heart would ache in pain and I would turn weak everytime I thought about her because I lost the one thing I cared about.

We would pass eachother in the halls, pretending we didn't see eachother at all. I would see her walk to her house afterschool and no matter how I wanted to brake the fucking car and let her in... I couldn't.

I was afraid of rejection. Especially from Alyssa.

While in the hall, I was walking with a friend and I spotted her staring at me. Her beautiful brown eyes bored into mine. I stared at her, sad that we weren't together anymore. I had looked away and I laughed to what my friend had said though I had faked that laugh.

During lunchtime, she had passed me and I smelled her beautiful strawberry scent from her hoodie. She sat behind me and I looked at her.

I missed her so much it hurt.

I couldn't sleep at night because I would about her, our memories and how I lost her by acting like a fucking idiot.

If we could be together again, I treat her like she was the only thing I got. And let her know that she makes me the happiest person.

"Mr. Saywer," Ms. Wesley said and I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at her.

"What?" I asked blankly.

"Can you answe--" she was about to ask but I sighed and interupted her.

"Ms. Wesley, don't bother asking me because you know I wasn't listening," I said.

Ms. Wesley narrowed her eyes at me and carried on with explaining the homework.

The bell rang for the end of the day and everyone stood up and rushed out of class. I grabbed my backpack and walked out of the class. As I walked out of the class, I saw Alyssa packing her books in her locker. I started walking and as soon as I passed Alyssa, she started walking next to me unaware she was.

A few seconds, she quickly glanced at me. I wanted to smile and wrap my arm around her shoulder. We reached the double doors and we pushed it simultaneously. We walked down the stairs and we separated, I went to my car while started walking home.

I threw my bag in and got in my car, I shut the door and sighed. I started the car and drove out the parking. I drove slow on purpose so Alyssa could notice my car.

I couldn't take this anymore.

I stopped the car and I reluctantly got out the car. As I was about to walk to Alyssa, I saw a car slow to a stop in front of her. Trick got out of the car with a smile on his face when he looked at Alyssa.

My heart sank.

Alyssa smiled happily when she saw Trick and she welcomed him with a warm hug. They spoke for a few seconds before they both went into the car. Trick drove away and I stared after the car until it was out of sight.

I was completely heartbroken.

The smile when she saw him. It had seemed like she had forgotten me. Forgot everything between us, she had already moved on.

Feeling hopeless and defeated, I got into my car. I laid on my folded arms which were on the wheel.

She looked happier.

She looked happier with him.
