Chapter 20: Candy Cane Dreams

Fallon

~7 days until the Christmas party~

I gave my number to Marco.

Since I left Tabitha’s house yesterday, that’s all I’ve been able to think about. I gave him my flipping number. I told Marco I’d drive over to Coulson’s party with him, and even though I know it’s NOT a date—I’m not sure what it is, to be honest—I decided that giving him my number made sense. It did not make sense.

And what’s worse is: I’m a horrible best friend/cousin.

Why? Well, because I haven’t told Josie that I gave him my number. Because I didn’t tell her about the party. Because I still haven’t told her about the almost kiss—kisses? Maybe? It sure felt like another kiss could’ve happened yesterday before Marco asked about Coulson’s party…

So, basically, I haven’t told Josie ANYTHING when it comes to me and Marco. It’s not like I really want to keep it from her (whatever it is), but all she would do is scold me, and I’ve already made up my mind. I’m going to spend more time with Marco.

And not because of what Tabitha told me, but because I want to. I want to know the real Marco. And if Josie (along with everyone else at this school) is right about him—then fine, I’ll learn my lesson. But if they’re wrong…

Marco’s gorgeous smile pops into my head, and there’s no stopping the sudden giddy feeling that shoots through my body.

Oh gosh, I hope they’re wrong. I really do.

The bell rings, and I mentally scold myself for not paying more attention during class. Then again…it’s almost winter break, and the next three days are shorter days. So, I don’t feel that bad for dazing off.

I do feel bad, however, once I’m walking down the hallway and I spot Josie talking with Willis by one of our water fountains. Feel bad?

More like: I FEEL GUILTY AS HECK.

Which is kind of absurd because I’m not like…secretly dating Marco or anything. I just want to get to know him better!

“Hey, Fallon,” Willis greets me first.

And then Josie flashes me a smile. “What’s up, girlie? How was class?”

“Class was fine,” I reply, hoping I sound nonchalant. “How about yours?”

She offers a brief shrug, brushing some of Willis’ light hair away from his forehead. “It was good.”

“That’s good,” I say for whatever reason. “I’ll see you guys later then, okay? Don’t wanna be late for my next class.”

And I also don’t want a certain SOMEONE realizing what I’m up to.

If Josie notices my shady behavior, she doesn’t show it. “Okay, see ya later.”

I’m pretty sure it’s just because she’s distracted with Willis though.

As I walk away from them, I find myself wondering what Marco’s doing today since we get out of school early…

Is that weird? I feel like that’s weird.

But guess what? When the last bell rings, and I’m walking toward the school exit doors, the same thought comes to mind once again. Maybe it’s because I didn’t see him at all today. Yeah, that’s probably why I keep thinking about him.
