Started with a cookie... Marcus and Martinus

Part 5: i'm sorry

I put my hoodie over my face so she won't be able to see me, but she went straight to the back of the bus and sat next to me.

Why nothing is going right today?

And i thought she took the cab. Why did she return? To scream at me another time for being generous?

I saw her searching in her bag then she took out a box of cookies and gave it to me.

"Look, i'm so sorry! I thought you were eating from my box but it turns out it's completely the opposite! Please forgive me I didn't mean it I was just having a bad day and I really needed to shout at someone. Unfortunately that someone was you. So I told the taxi driver to follow this bus and here I am."

That makes sense now. I had no idea why she was shouting and now I do. And I really appreciate the fact that she came back to the bus to apologize. I guess I was wrong, she wasn't crazy, she was just having a hard time.. as well as me...

"Don't worry I understand! You can keep your cookies you probably need them more than I do. Plus I'm going through a hard time too so I know how it feels. I forgive you!"

She smiled then opened her box and decided to share her cookies with me, this time on purpose!

Everything was calm until a call from Marcus broke the silent.

He was wondering if I can go back home right now so we can work on the song. That really made me so mad and angry. Who does he think he is? He's playing with me like a puppet on a string and i'm sick of his games.

"Oh so now you want to start working? Listen Marcus, the old Martinus is gone, I don't have to obey you, I don't have to wait until you finish your nonsense! You can start working on your own, I'm pretty sure the taco song will be much better than anything I will ever come up with. I'm done arguing with you! Bye!"

I didn't mean to be rude, but seriously I was so angry! It's not always about him, I'm always fighting for him, and what do I get as a reward? Nothing!

"The girl" whom I didn't know her name, was looking at me, surprised!

"So I guess you're not the calm sweet person I had on mind."

That made me laugh, for the first time in a while.

"So I guess your name is Martinus. Nice to meet you i'm Maria."

"Oh nice."

"Sorry for asking, but I heard you talking with a guy named Marcus. I swear i've heard your names before. Martinus and Marcus, that sounds so familiar, your face is too."

Martinus and Marcus? That sounds cooler than Marcus and Martinus. But who am I kidding, Marcus' name should always be first because he's older. What a logic!

"You mean Marcus and Martinus."

"Omg yes! I've heard your names several times but I don't remember where."

"Maybe because we're the biggest pop stars in Norway and maybe in all Europe? I mean i'm just saying I don't want to brag."

How she doesn't know about us? Can this day get more awkward?

Maria's pov/

I got so excited when I knew that i'm sitting next to a pop star! So that's why he looked so familiar! Probably i've seen him and his brother before on TV but couldn't remember.

But still, I was confused because he was shouting angrily at his brother.

Because I was so curious, I asked him.

It turns out they need to come up with a new song for their fans, and Marcus isn't helping him at all.

My eyes widened. Maybe this is my chance! My chance to be discovered, to live the life I have always dreamt of, to turn my sadness and loneliness into happiness and popularity.

I have to be brave enough to accomplish all this.

"Maybe I can help you with the song."

Step one: done!
