The boy next door

chapter 22

{marcus pov}

I was sitting at the lunch table waiting for my sister when Nick came up and sat next to me.

"Hey Marcus." He said smiling.

"Hi." I said, looking at my phone.

"So you saw my text and didn't reply." He said.

"Yeah I know."

"Why?"

"Cause I know your only talking to me to get to my sister." I said finally looking at him I rolled my eyes. "So here just take her number." I grabbed a pin and his hand I wrote down her number. "Can you leave me alone now."

"Uh that's not what-"

"Hey Marcus I'm so so sorry I'm late I had to help- oh hi Nick."

"Hi I was just leaving."

"Oh no it's ok, stay."

"I actually have to go, I'll see you two around." Nick walks away and back over to his friends.

"Oh my god, oh my god, what happened?" max's asked me, I looked away from her.

"He wanted to know why i left him on read, i explained to him i didn't want to play his game, so i him your number."

"You're an idiot. How broken is your gaydar? That boy is a homosexual."

"No he's not, he likes you, not me." She rolled her eyes and threw a fry at me.

"Well that sucks for him, cause i'm not into jocks."

"Yeah you're into girls and scrawny guys."

"Yep." she smiles.

"Nope." she smiled.

"Diner is done." eddie yelled from the kitchen

"Ok coming." the twins said at the same time.

They both ran down the stairs and into the kitchen where Eddie, Richie, and Myia were waiting. They sat down in their normal seats. They quickly made their plates.

"Anything interesting happen at work today eddie?" max asked.

"Yes, this guy came in with a metal pole stuck in his back."

"Oh my god, how'd that happen?" Max asked.
