Unscripted. // Lucas and Marcus

Chapter 10 : The Girlfriend...

"Hop in! "

   I just laughed and did as he said. We used to do this as children. I'm so happy we share silly things like this.

   We went up and down aisles and I grabbed the things we came for off the shelves and racks from within the bugey. I got out after we had collected too many items for me to fit comfortably and stood on the front of the cart.

  Once we had everything he began spinning the bugey wildly and I couldn't help but, squeal and laugh. He laughed along. I was honestly having so much fun.

  At one point I grabbed some helmets. I put him on the princess one and grabbed myself the Mickey Mouse one.

"Really? " He asked due to my choice of patterns.

I just smirked and laughed. Then took a selfie of us.

  We then decided to text Lucas that we had found everything on our half of the list. Turns out Lucas wasn't quite done yet so we had some time to kill.

We made our way to the aisle with all the blankets and placed the bugey where we could see it in sight.

"Ready? " He asked with a devilish look.

"Oh yeah! "

   We were running up and down the aisles with blankets tied around our necks acting as capes. I know highly childish, but this is what we used to do. Don't judge us. We did that for quite some time while mocking the phrases of superheros. We even pretended that we had superpowers and were fighting. We did lots more of ridiculous kiddy things then caught up with Lucas. We checked out and was heading to their house. Apparently that's where I'm going to meet his girlfriend later. Uhk.

   We first put up the groceries then just popped some popcorn and watched Netflix on the couch. It wasn't much, but it definitely beat spending the afternoon home alone with Nova and Naomi. I know my parents probably won't be getting home until late. So, this just worked out and of course Lucas and I were on the opposite ends of the couch.

Next thing I knew the doorbell was ringing. Oh great she's here. I subconsciously roll my eyes.

"I got it! " Marcus says and gets up. He then opens the door and they hug making me sick.

They had a short chat and before I knew it he was leading her over to meet me.

"Nani this is my girlfriend, Aria. Aria this is my best friend, Nani. " Marcus says .And I appreciate the fact he didn't say one of his best friends. I know I can't be the only one, he talks to a lot of guys. But that made me feel special. Though I'm sure the title 'girlfriend' holds more meaning. I hope not. I mean... maybe it doesn't.

"Hi, it's so nice to finally meet you, I've so heard so many great things about you! " She says enthusiastically. She seems nice, too nice.

"Oh really! Thanks. " I say and smile at Marcus. "I haven't heard anything about you though! " I add. Is that rude? Oh well.

   She then clears her throat and looks at Marcus for a split second before taking a seat on the couch. Marcus just looked around like 'that just happened' and joined us on the couch. Lucky for me she was sitting between Lucas and Marcus and I was still next to Marcus.

"Hey Lucas! " She says.

"Hey Ari. " He responds. Just those few exchange of words made me frustrated. And is that supposed to be a nickname for her? Not even Marcus called her that. Uhk. To be honest I probably would have found it cute if we were on good terms, but we're not so Uhk.

   We finished watching the movie and Marcus said something about having another movie for us to watch. So, he ran upstairs in search of it.

"Lucas, did you move that movie? " Marcus shouted from upstairs.

"No, it should be by the dresser! " Lucas shouted back. "I'll be back. " Lucas said and also ran upstairs. Great, now I'm alone with her!

"So how long you known Marcus for? " She asked. Is she really talking to me. Ugh.

"I've known the twins for eight years now...how bout you? "

"Three. "

"Is that how long you've been dating Marcus? "

"No. Two actually. " She smiled. She actually seemed so nice.

"Ya know...I'm so glad you're not like that jealous or threatening type of girlfriend. "

"Why would I be jealous...I trust Marcus. " She said smiling and I smiled back. "And you're not his type. "

"Excuse me, what? " I said standing up eying her.

"You know...Marcus is into the pretty girls...who are...fit. " She said looking me up and down. Her words made me so insecure and enraged.

"More like bitches with an ugly personality, like you, you disgusting low down scum! " I shot back with attitude. I wish I would've said something nastier, but that's all that came to mind. I was tired of not standing up for myself and letting people break me down and walk over me.

"Nani. " I heard a voice say full of disappointment.
