Cindy almost knocked Marlena out of the way when she grabbed John for a kiss. �Have you been ignoring me sweetie? I haven�t seen you in forever.� She told him. �I�ve just been busy.� John told her. �Too busy to call your girlfriend?� Cindy asked him in a snobbish voice.
The bell then rang as Marlena thanked goodness. �We�ll talk later.� Cindy told John as she walked off in the other direction. �Sorry about that Marlena.� John told her. �It�s okay John you know that.� She told him.
John smiled as he went off to his first class and Marlena went to hers. First class was calculus which Marlena tried to stay awake through but stared at the clock for the most part. Her second class history though was much better as it was one of the only classes she had with John. During the middle of class she saw Cindy hand John a note and leaned for a closer look as he opened it. She leaned so far over the aisle though that she fell off her chair as the whole class laughed. �Miss Evans is it that hard to stay in our seats?� The teacher asked. �Sorry.� She said with a laugh as John looked back and giggled at her.
Marlena still couldn�t see what the note that Cindy had handed John but after John read it he got up and threw it in the trash and looked back at Cindy nodding his head. At the end of class Marlena pretending to drop he pencil near the trash barrel and bent down and making sure no one was watching her, she picked up the note. She went outside the classroom and into the girl�s locker room to read it. She read this: John we really need to talk�meet me in the gym @ lunch time.
Marlena knew she had to catch this conversation, hoping this would be when John broke up with her. So when the lunch bell rang Marlena sprinted to the gym to see that John and Cindy were already in conversation as they moved into the locker room as Marlena followed them. She stood behind the row of lockers behind the one that John and Cindy were in. �Okay Cindy, what did you want to talk about?� John asked Cindy. �Why have you been ignoring me lately? What is up with you John?� Cindy asked. �Nothing is up Cindy; I have just had more important things on my mind.� John told her. �What could possibly be more important than me John?� She asked him. �That�s no of your business Cindy, I have to go.� John said. �Wait no, John, I know you don�t want to go.� Cindy told him, trying to seduce him. �Maybe you don�t know me at all Cindy.� John told her.
Marlena bit her nails at this. Would John break up with her now? �Oh come on John, do you really think I don�t know you, we�ve been going out for almost six months now, of course I know you.� She told him sweetly. �Oh Cindy please don�t.� John told her. �What John, what is wrong with you!� She said raising her voice. �This just isn�t working out anymore Cindy.� John told her. �Oh don�t you dare do this to me John.� Cindy said sternly to John. �I�m sorry Cindy but I just don�t have time for you, we need to break up.� John told her.
Cindy filled with rage as she stormed out of the locker room. John sat on the bench as Marlena listened to him. �I did the right thing, it was coming some time or later. Now what do I do.� John said to himself.
Marlena and John put their backs up to two back-to-back lockers at the same time as they stared into nothing thinking about each other. Marlena started to walk out of the locker room the same time John did. At the end of the row they stopped and their eyes met. �Marlena, what are you doing here?� John asked her curiously. �I was just ah�looking for my track coach, I needed to talk to him.� Marlena said as it was the first excuse that popped into her head. �In the boy�s locker room?� He asked her. �Well, yah.� Marlena said nervously. �Oh, well then.� John told her. �Ah Marlena there�s something I got to talk to you about.� �Yah John?� she said. �Ah lets go into the gymnasium.� John told her.
They walked out of the locker room and into the gymnasium. John toke her hand and walked her over with himself to the bleachers and sat down on the third row. �So John, what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?� She asked him. �Well, I am not really sure actually.� John told her. �Ohh.� Marlena said. �I�ah�broke up with Cindy earlier.� He told her. �Really?� Marlena said to him trying to hide what she already knew. �Yup.� John said, not knowing really what to say to her. �Are you okay about it, I mean I know you told me a couple of weeks ago you were thinking about it?� Marlena asked him. �Yes I am. It just wasn�t where I wanted to be.� John told her. �Yah I guess your right, going out in high school isn�t always the best.� Marlena told him. �No it wasn�t that, it was just us, we weren�t destined for each other.� John told her. �God you must think I sound stupid saying this but I�ve always believe in soul mates and she just wasn�t my soul mate.� �No John, I don�t think you�re stupid, I believe in soul mates too. I believe that two people�s souls are destined to find each other, somehow, someway.� She told him.
They both smiled and gazed into each other�s eyes. �So John is that all you wanted to tell me.� Marlena asked him, hoping for more. �Marlena�I don�t know how to say this.� John told her nervously. �John, you can tell me anything you know that.� Marlena told him. �Let me just do this.� John said as he grabbed the back of Marlena�s head with his right hand and pulled her into a kiss.
The embrace of the kiss was passionate, passion neither has ever felt before. As John released Marlena from his lips Marlena was trembling. She was stared at the bleachers until John lifted her chin up to look into his eyes. �John I don�t know what to say.� She told him. �Don�t say anything Marlena, just let me look at you, touch you.� John said as he locked lips with Marlena once again.
At the moment the bell rang. Marlena went to go get up but John got up to stopping her from walking away. �Marlena wait don�t go to class.� He told her. �Oh John I don�t want to be late to class.� She told him. �Oh Marlena I just don�t want to leave you now, all I want now is you.� He told her. �John, I, I got to go, I�ll see you after school.� She said.
But as she walked away she turned back to John who was still standing where he was and staring at her. She paced back to him, kissing him one more time, heavily, until she released and walked away.
