Forever and Always

7) Special appearance dimples

When the bell rings to end school today, I will be so happy, I might actually cry with relief.

School in itself was okay, But only because I had at least one friend in each class. 

Zavier was in my homeroom class and Abby, Zavier and Marcus were in math. I had biology with Zavier, English with Marcus, Lunch with all of them, free period with all of them, And finally French with Xavier. so all things considered, I got really lucky with class placements this year.

The only problem was in the majority of my classes, Lila was in them too. Except for free period, French and math. Thank God.

Lila has French, Then she has free period. and instead of regular math, She chose to do algebra 2. I thought it would be boring to do algebra the whole semester, So I chose to do regular math instead, And my friend agreed with me.

But being in my morning classes drained me enough. And I have a feeling that next semester Lila will be joining us for regular math. Seeing me and Xavier in the same class that she didn't take, will probably serve as motivation.

I sigh.

Zavi Is literally dating her.

If he liked me, Wouldn't he have done something about it already?

And If he liked me, Why would he be dating her?

But Lila is too busy being jealous, to actually think about stuff, So for now, I have to deal with her bitchiness.

I sigh again.

I flinch when I feel a top on my shoulder. I turn in my eyes and meet Zavier's beautiful hazel ones.

Are you okay, They ask me. I smile reassuringly at him. And he smiles back.

My heart melts a little.

How could someone like Zavier, ever date someone like Lila? It doesn't make sense. What does he even see in her? I don't think I'll ever know.

I jerk back to reality, And realize I've been staring at him, When he whispers " Is something wrong?"

"No," I Whisper back, " There was just something on your face, And I was trying to decide if I should tell you or not."

He rolls his eyes. " Gee, Thanks for saving me from embarrassment", He says sarcastically, Wild wiping his face with his arm.

"It's gone.", I giggle.

He smiles at me again, then turns to face the teacher. I cursed the butterflies in my stomach and hold in another sigh.

I'm royally screwed.

The bell rings, and Zavier and I walk to the bathrooms, To meet Abby and Marcus. 

They both had Spanish. Marcus decided to take it, Deepen his Latino Heritage, His words not mine. Abby, conveniently decided to take it to. " It's a nice language to learn!" She had told me," Plus now I can be trilingual", She had added one she saw I didn't believe her. 

Her mom Is French African, and we've been friends for so long that I've learned some French from her, Xavier and Marcus too. which is why I decided to take French instead of Spanish, I figured it would be easier since I already had some French knowledge.

We get to the bathrooms to see Abby and Marcus huddled together. Marcus is speaking quietly, And Abby is listening attentively, chiming in sometimes.

They both look adorable.

Zavier and I grin at each other and waggle our eyebrows. We both agree that they would make an amazing couple.

Abby then says something, and Marcus let out a deep belly laugh. his dimples in full view.

Marcus had a nice smile, But it took true joy for his dimples to show. And wouldn't you know it, Abby seemed to be able to draw them out the most.

For me and even Zavier, They were rare. But Abby was something else.

And people have noticed. The amount of glares Iris has sent Abby is hilarious.

Because no matter how hard Iris tries, She has never been able to get Marcus to show his dimples. It drives her crazy.

She isn't even his girlfriend, She needs to chill.

I roll my eyes mentally. 

Iris acts like she owns Marcus And it's annoying to watch.

She hates how close we all are, Especially Abby and Marcus.

But, she is a bitch. Marcus Doesn't seem to see it, But she is.

like, He kisses her on a dare and suddenly he belongs to her. Marcus likes her okay, But it isn't anything serious.

It seems like everyone but her can see it though.

"Hey g-", Zavier starts, As we approach them. But before he can finish, Iris appears.

Speak of the devil.

I grown inwoardly.

We're going to be here for a while.
