The next day I go through my normal routine. Take a shower, get dressed and head out the door to catch the bus. Walk up a few flights of stairs and walk into Tea Club.
As I talk with the others, my phone goes off. I have a message. I quickly check it and notice that it's from Julia.
"Get to the front"
Guess it's important. I get up and wave goodbye to the others.
"Bye Taylor. Have a pleasant damn day" Mark calls from behind me.
I take the main stairwell down to the first floor to meet Julia. She's alone. I walk up to her. "Hey. So what's up"
"So remember Marcus" she say right away. She starts walking and I accompany her along the way.
"Yeah. What about him?"
"Well we're, kinda, dating right now" she says in a low voice.
I stay quiet for a minute and let it register. Julia. One of my best friends. Just got in a relationship. With some guy he barely knows. "What the hell! You barely know him. You could've at least tried to figure out who he is before you go off and get in a relationship with him"
"I didn't ask your opinion. I just thought you should know. Anyway, I do know him. We've been talking all day." She flips her hair and looks at me in the eyes. " I know all these things about him. I'm just like that. I'm able to understand people. It's just something I could do."
"Fine then. I'm trusting you on this one. " I say then continue walking. I go to my first class. And then wait for it to be over.
At lunch, Julia and I hang out with Marcus.
The day passes quite quickly. Marcus isn't the ideal guy that I think someone my age should date. He screams bad news. He's already above the age limit, so Julia is breaking that rule by being with him. Also there is the fact that he smokes. Smoking is something that makes me lose my respect for someone. I, personally, respect everyone in the beginning but their actions and choices change my views on them and also if I respect them or not, and him smoking is a huge disappointment for me.
The day finishes, Julia and I walk around the school killing time until we need to go catch out bus. Marcus wasn't with us. As we walked around the school we pass a couple kissing. We don't mind at first, we keep walking. Then the second time we pass them we actual look to see who it is. To our surprise its Marcus and some girl.
Julia and I are shocked. Marcus notices that we are there and he immediately has this guilty look on his face. I grab Julia's arm and pull her out of the school and walk straight to the bus. We get on the first bus that comes. For the entire trip we stay quite.
Julia's boyfriend had just cheated on her.
