"Aarrgghh, the alarm is too noisy." Mark said. He looked at the alarm clock and he got shocked"

"WTF! it is already time? I dont want to be late!" he shouted.

Mark Scofield, 18 years old. A grade 11 student. He is calm on the outside but stupidly inlove in the inside.

"Phew! I get in school on time." he murmured.

He ran to the hall to attend the ceremony.

"Opening ceremony is boring, I am hungry. Uuggh I wish Julie is here." he said in his mind.

Julie Trancedi, 18 years old. A grade 11 student. According to everyone she is a slut. a manslayer and wants to hook up with any guy.

"Ouch" mark suddenly said. He saw a crumpled paper so he turned around to look who threw that. He was shocked to saw Julie behind him.

"Juliee, I miss you!" he mouthed.

"I missed you too." she mouthed back.

Julie and Mark are childhood friends. Julie is also Mark's childhood crush until now. But he did not dare to tell his feelings because he is afraid that she might reject him. Aside from that, he don't want to break there friendship. It is better to be friends than entering into relationship with her without the assurance of being accepted.

The ceremony has ended.

"Julie let us grab some snacks at the canteen. it is my treat." he smiled.

"Okaaay, thanks in advance. I will treat you to pay you back in the future." she smiled back.

"Don't mind it." he replied and they gone to the canteen.

"oh is that the slut?" girl 1

"why is she with mr. scofield? she dont deserve him" girl 2

"look at mr. scofield damn hot" girl 3

Julie bow down her head. Mark pat her.

"Dont mind them, you are perfect"

this is the line that mark always told her when they hear someone talking non-sense behind her back.

She only smiled at him. And continue eating.

"What section are you in?" He ask

"F" she answered plainly.

"I am at B. I guess we will not be classmates. Just tell me when someone bullies you." he said.

"Nah! im good. Those are not true anyways. And I dont give a f**ck about em. hehe ☺☺" she answered happily.

They are done eating and they proceed to their perspective classrooms.

As julie enters the room.

"Oh we are classmates with this slut?" amira said with disgust.

"You got any problem with that?" julie smirked.

"How dare you, bitch!" amira shouted and about to raise her hand. but some gentleman stopped her.

"Kyaaa its Raymond Wind." classmate 1

"Yikes, we sre classmates with him?" classmate 2

"Ms. What are you doing?" raymond ask amira calmly.

"Uhhmm,, I-i was about touch her hair." amira said with puppy eyes.

Julie leaves and go to her sit. She don't give a sh*t about what happened. And all she cared about is when will be the classes ends.

She looked at Raymond and she blushed.

Raymond looked at her and they smiled each other.

Today is the second day of school.

Mark finished his morning routine and about to leave the house.

"Mark!" somebody called.

He turn around and saw her childhood crush, Julie. He blushed.

"What a lovely woman." He murmured.

"Hmm? did you say somethin?" Julie asked

"I said, you're just in time. Let us go to school together ☺" he said

"okaaaay ☺" julie replied.

In school.

"Oh my! That's Mark Scofield." girl 1

" Ugh mah heart." girl 2

"What? Is that julie? The slut?" girl 3

Mark look at her and julie look back. They just smiled each other and later on they laugh. That means, They don't care about everything. They are used to it. And beside those are not true.

"You're already here in your room." Mark said.

"Thanks Mark, You are really the best bff" Julie said and hug him.

"That's nothin Juls if it is for you." he said and blushed.

Mark proceed to his classroom. But before he finally reach his classroom, he saw Raymond Wind. He smirked.

..Tss this dude. Why is he here? This is really bad.. Mark said in his mind.

As the class goes on. Mark recieved a mail.

It is from julie.

..Mark lets have lunch together later.. Julie

..Uhm sure, this is the last period in the morning, let us meet at the canteen later... Mark

The period has ended. Mark immediately go to the canteen..

..What? Julie is still not here?.. He asked himself.

Since he did not saw julie, he ordered his lunch first while waiting. He already finished his meal but julie is still not around. he look at his phone but there is no mail.

..Hey Juls, Where are you? Im done eating my luch... sending to Juls.

30 minutes has passed but there's no Julie coming. so he decided to go to Julie's classroom.

Before he reached Julie's classroom, he saw her under the shade instead. He is about to approach Julie but he saw her together with Raymond Wind.

"Please go out with me.😳" Raymond asked julie.

"Yeah sure. There is no problem with that. Let us have our date this coming Saturday. ☺" Julie said.

Mark decided to leave immediately to avoid hearing further on what they are talking about.

..I thought everything will be alright if julie date someone, but why? Why does my heart hurt so much?.. Mark ask himself.

He goes to the clinic instead of going to his classroom.

"Teacher can I get some sleep? I am not feeling well, or can I go home instead?" He asked the nurse.

"Okay Mr. Scofield, please take good care of yourself. Get well soon." the teacher said and handed the note so that he will be excused to his afternoon classes.

..I hope everthing will be alright tomorrow.. he said to hiself.

After the afternoon session.

..I wonder what happened to Mark, I wasn't able to eat luch together with him this afternoon. I hope he won't get angry with me. And oh, I am going to tell him about Raymond ☺☺.. julie said to herself

"Julie, what are giggling about? Let's go home together." Raymond said.

"Okay, no problem ☺" julie replied and smile.

..Today is Saturday As I know, today is the day that Raymond and Julie will have their date. Let me stalk them. 🤭🤭🤫.. Mark murmured while taking a bath.

10 minutes later.

"Sunglasses, check. Hat, check. Jacket with hoodie, check." Mark said while preparing hiself to leave.

He saw Julie passed his home and immediately followed her.

..Oh so this is where they are going meet.. Mark said in his mind.

"Hi raymond, have you waited long enough?" Julie asked.

"No, i just arrived here." Raymond answered and offered his arm to guide julie going inside the cinema.

Mark touch his chest.

..What is this? Why do I feel pain?.. mark asked himself..

Mark sit at the back and make sure that he can clearly see those two. He did not even understand the movie because his eyes were always at Julie and Raymond.

..Tss, I can even afford this. How cheap.. he smirked.

After they get out from the cinema, the two come over the juice stand.

"What flavor do you love?" Raymond asked.

"Hmm, pineapple please. ☺☺" julie answered.

"One pineapple and one orange please" said Raymond to the vendor.

..This is so tiring. What am i even doing 😪.. mark murmured as he sit at the bench.

"Uhm excuse me, can i sit beside you?" Julie asked.

"Wait, What? Mark is that you?" Julie asked surprisingly.

"U-uh y-yeah. h-hi hehehhe 😅😅" marked answered nervously.

"By the way this is Raymond. We are dating." Julie said as Raymond also is about to sit at the bench.

"I know.. Err I mean I know that you are dating since you are together. Ahh eheehe 😅😅" mark answered.

"Why are you wearing this stuff. Shades, hat, and a hood? You seem suspicious? 😂😂" Raymond asked as he laughed.

"You know, it so hot. I dont really like the heat of the sun. ah hehe 😅😅" he answered.

"By the way I'll gonna go. My sister is already looking for me. I'm gonna send her back home before returning to my apartment. Bye Julie. Good luck and take care of yourself." Mark said and leave.

..Ugh what am i doing. This is so tiring they even saw me. 🤦‍♂ And the worst is, I am making my sister as an excuse when in fact I dont have a sister. How idiot is myself. I'm sure Julie knows that.. Mark murmured to hiself.

As mark is about to prepair his dinner he recieved a mail.
