Dedicated to Marisa Sallas
Marisa's P.O.V.
"Hey Marisa" my friend Emma greets me as she walks into English class, and takes her usual seat next to me.
"Hey Emma, what's up?".
"Oh nothing. By the way I heard today we are starting a new project" she says before I start to groan.
"What is it about?" I ask running my fingers through my hair.
"It's about poetry or some shit" Emma shrugs.
"Do we at least get partners?" I ask hoping the answer is yes.
"Yeah we actually do. Maybe we will get to choose our partners" she smiles at me before our teacher Mrs. Garcia walks into the classroom.
"Good morning everyone. Today we will be starting a new project about Poetry. You guys will have to write a two page essay about a poetry writer of your choice. You will have to include the writers background in life, describe at least two poems they have wrote, and basic facts about the writer" Mrs. Garcia tells us before everyone starts to groan and whine about the assignment.
"Don't worry. You guys will have partners for this. BUT, I will be choosing your partner for you" she finishes off before handing out a sheet paper that has all the stuff we need to know about the project to everyone.
"Now first Jake will be with Cecilia, Emma with Jayden, Sidney with Adriana, Marisa with Oliver" Mrs. Garcia says before I totally zone her out.
Oh no.... Me? With Oliver? Oliver Sykes? No, there's no possible way.
Oliver Sykes was the silent/weird kid in school. Nobody ever talked to him, he never talked to anyone besides the teachers and that was only if he HAD too. A lot of the football jocks messed with him and Oliver would never do anything about it. He would just let the assholes beat him up until a teacher came to break off the fight.
In some ways I actually felt sorry for him. I knew all he needed was a friend.
I sigh before slowly turning around and resting my eyes on Oliver, who was just looking down at his desk.
"Mrs. Sallas, please move your seat over there next to Oliver and start working on the assignment" Mrs. Garcia tells me before going to sit back on her desk.
I nod my head before standing up, grabbing all my supplies, and taking a seat next to Oliver.
We just sit there in silence for a couple of moments before I say "Hey Oliver, how are you doing?".
All Oliver does is nod his head once and stares at his desk again.
"So do you have any ideas on what poet you wanna research about?" I ask him.
Oliver stays silent again and shakes his head no.
"Oh, uhhmm... How about Edger Allen Poe? That's the only poet I know so" I give out a small laugh.
Oliver shrugs and sighs.
"Look Oliver I know you don't want to talk to me or anything, but we have to do this assignment first. Then you won't have to ever talk to me again" I tell him.
Oliver turns to look at me with a confused look on his face.
"What is something wrong? Oh I know, you probably hate me too with the rest of these people in school huh?" I ask with a raised eyebrow.
"Okay first of all, call me Oli not Oliver. And second of all, I don't hate you" Oliver... Err I mean Oli finally speaks up.
"Okay good... I was sort of afraid you might have" I smile at Oli.
"Nope. I mean you have never done anything to me to give me a reason to hate you soo... Plus you seem pretty cool" Oli smiles back.
"Oh thanks. So do you agree that we should do Edger Allen Poe?".
"Yeah sure, why not" Oli shrugs.
"Okay cool. So where should we go after school to work on this thing?" I ask Oli while taking in his appearance.
He was truly very good looking I have to say. I don't know why anyone would ever be so rude to him....
"How about at my house?" Oli suggests.
"Yeah I'm down with that. You should give me your number".
"Wait? What?" Oli asks with a shocked expression on his face.
"Oh you know... For the project. So you could text me your house address, and if ever I need to contact you until this project is finished" I tell him a bit awkwardly.
"Oh right" Oli says before writing down his number on a piece of paper and handing it to me.
"Also you could just ride with me back home today after school.... If you want of course" Oli adds while looking at me.
"Sure, I would like that" I smile at him once the bell for class to end starts ringing.
"Well ill see you later. Bye Oli" I tell him before he waves bye at me, once I leave the classroom and into the crowded hallway.
..............................................................
"Wow you have a beautiful house" I tell Oli while examining his gigantic house.
"Thank you. My parents aren't home right now, their at work. So we have the place to ourselves for a while" Oli says before showing me the way to his room upstairs.
The first thing I realize when I walk into his room is all the posters he has over his walls.
"Oh, you like Asking Alexandria too?" I ask pointing to his AA poster.
"Duhh, who doesn't?" Oli chuckles while setting his backpack down next to his bed.
"People who don't know what good music is" I laugh taking a seat on his soft bed.
"That's true. So I was thinking maybe we could at least get most of the research done today, so we won't have to work on this so much anymore" Oli tells me taking out his laptop.
"Oh trying to get rid of me already I see?" I joke around.
"Maybe" Oli smirks while starting to type away on his laptop.
"Hey can I ask you something?" I ask Oli.
"Sure, what is it?".
"Why don't you ever stand up for yourself when those jocks mess around with you? You don't deserve any of that Oli" I get off of his bed and take a seat next to him on the ground.
"Thanks Marisa but, I don't know really... I just don't care what people think about me...".
"Well next time I see those jocks or anyone mess with you, I'm going to say something and beat their ass" I tell him trying to hide a smile.
"Oh I bet you could really kick some butt huh?" Oli laughs while placing a hand on my knee.
"Yeah I could" I grin while crossing my arms across my chest.
"Oli! I'm home!" I hear a female voice call from downstairs.
"Is that your mom?" I ask getting off the ground.
"Yup it is. Come on, ill introduce her to you" Oli says taking my hand as we walk downstairs, which causes me to have butterflies in my stomach for some reason.
"Hello Oli- oh who is this?" His mom asks looking at me.
"Oh I'm Marisa, it's nice to meet you" I hold out my hand for her to shake.
"It's very nice to meet you Marisa. Are you Oli's new girlfriend?" She asks me.
"Oh no mum! She's just a new friend" Oli says while his cheeks start to turn red.
"Oh I'm sorry, would you like to stay for dinner?" His mom asks me with a smile on her face.
"Yes, I would love too Mrs. Sykes" I nod my head yes.
Through out dinner Oli mom would tell me embarrassing stories of him as a child.
"Muuuum please stop" Oli whines as I start to laugh.
"Oli stop complaining. I haven't even showed her the pictures yet" his mom says while gathering all the dishes.
"I'm sorry about that" Oli apologizes once we get outside to his front lawn.
"Oh no worries. Your mum is really funny".
"Yeah, she does a good job at embarrassing me" Oli says with a smile on his face.
"I think we should do this again. Don't you agree?" I ask him.
"Yeah, most differently".
For a couple of moments we just stare into each others eyes before I notice Oli starting to slowly lean in.
Before I know it our lips meet with each other and start to slowly move in sync.
"What was that for?" I ask once our lips separate.
"I don't know, but I liked it" Oli says before placing his lips back on mine.
