Chapter 311: The Wild Animal (1/2)
”I don't believe this. No, I refuse to believe such blatant lies! You, you of all people, have a date?!” Destiny yelled as the two girls followed a ticked off Marco through the streets. ”Impossible. Impossible.”
”Will you stop going on about how impossible that is! What's so hard to imagine myself having a girlfriend?” Marco snapped, turning on the spot, looking for guidance from either Sam or Destiny. Both girls fell silent at his remark, making him even more furious yet hurt at the same time. ”Both of you?!”
Sam rubbed the back of her head, thinking of an excuse. ”It's not you can't get a girlfriend…. It's just you know.”
”You aren't exactly the most jaw-dropping person out there.” Destiny finished off with a nervous chuckle.
”There's more to life than just good looks, you know.” Marco blew off, trying his best to keep cool.
Destiny gave a faint nod agreeing to some extent, but that agreement trailed off as she spoke. ”Well, you see, Marco…. Have you ever wondered why only Sam and myself are friends with you, why all the other girls won't talk to you?”
”No? The other girls talk to me…. What are you on about?”
”He's in denial, Sam. I think it's time we told him.”
”You're the one who dragged us into this. It's only fair you tell him.” She shot back, refusing to damper the situation any further.
”You seem, Marco, we're only friends because our parents were friends since high school. We've been together since then, but truth be told, many of the girls are uncomfortable around you.”
Marco took the hit badly, holding his chest. ”Direct hit…. It was super effective.”
”You're really just proving her point here, Marco,” Sam added.
Shaking his head, trying to get over it, Marco huffed, taken back. ”You're jealous, aren't you? That's what this is all about, right? You're all jealous I've got a girlfriend while you're all still single pringles.”
”Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where did this all come from?” Destiny said, offended. ”I never claimed such terms.”
”What else could it be?! I thought you'd be happy for me. You're all so mean!”
Sam raised her hands, calming the situation sighing. ”Easy, easy. We are happy for you, Marco. How about you tell us about this girl?”
”Well, truth is said, I don't know much about her. Her name is Maya, and she's from Rhinefield. We've been talking for a few weeks now, and we finally decided to meet up this weekend.”
”Maya? And she's a city girl, how interesting. Have you got a picture of her?”
”Nope. I have no idea what she looks like.”
”He's being catfished.”
”He's being catfished.”
”Am not!” Marco ranted, walking away. ”Maya isn't like that. She just gets me; it's almost like we're meant to be.”
”Right…. Sorry if I don't seem too trustworthy about this all. What did you have in mind for this date?”
”Well, it's funny you mention it. She insisted she's in charge of the date. She just told me to meet her at the Rhinefield Station Saturday at noon.”
”He's being catfished.”
”He's being catfished.”
”Will you fucking…. Will you stop with that, please?”
Sam began tapping her finger against her arm, humming. ”Well, it's determined, we're going with you.”
”Excuse me, what? Umm, no, you're not. Imagine how that would look to Maya?”
”He has a point…. Well, we can't just let him go in alone. So, we'll tag along from the shadows. You know, keep an eye out, and if it's getting fishy, we jump in to rescue you.”
”I don't need rescuing! You're just afraid to admit I actually have a girl who likes me for me.”
”No. No, it's not that…. Umm, this is difficult.”
Sam shakes her head. ”Just agree to it, Marco. Destiny won't stop; you won't even see us. We'll be nowhere in sight, I promise.”
”This is so stupid! In fact, it's even more stupid due to the fact I agree to this!” Marco boasted, rubbing his head violently, losing his mind. ”You win…. You can come along, but I swear to God if you mess my chances up with this girl, I'll never forgive you!”
”Promise, cross my heart and hope to die. Is that alright by you, Sam?” Destiny questioned, not really asking in advance. ”We can do our girly day out another time, yeah?”
