Niomi's POV

I hadn't spoken to Alfie since the argument. Him and Zoe made up and now they're stronger than ever. I decided to ring him.

"Hello?" He said,

"Hey Alfie," I sighed.

"What do you want?" He sounded pissed off at me.

"Look, Alfie, we've been best friends since nursery, I'm sorry I accused you before I knew the facts. I apologise dearly, but we can't let a petty little misunderstanding get between us. I miss hanging out just the four of us. And know Marcus and Zoe feels awkward. So for our friendships sake and for Zoe and Marcus's sake... Friends?" I say. There's a moment of silence.

"Good to have you back Nimsickle!" He says down the phone. "Wanna meet me, Marcus and Zoe at the cinema?" I smile. I've got my friend back.

"Okay," I say. I hang up and grab my wallet and bag. I quickly apply some lipstick and spritz some perfume, I decide to take the bus so I grab my Oyster card and make my way to the bus stop.

I'd been waiting for 5 minuets before the bus came. I sat downstairs near the middle. I could hear whispering behind me. It made me feel a little self conscious. I put my headphones in and forgot about it.

The bus stopped a few times to let people off but this time two people got on. It was Jack and Finn. I tried to hide myself, knowing if they saw me they'd only taunt me. But it was too late, Finn waved at me. I pretended I hadn't seen but before I knew it they were sitting opposite me. I still had a few stops before I had to get off.

"Hello, Niomi," said Jack, stroking my foot with his. I felt sick inside.

"Don't touch me," I said through gritted teeth. They're presence made me uneasy. They sat there eyeing me up the whole time. I felt physically sick. At one point I swear there was vomit in my mouth. I got off at a random stop, I couldn't bear being near them. Great. I was a 10 minute walk away from the town. I called Marcus but there was no answer. So I tried Zoe and Alfie too. There was still no answer. I decided to walk it. It couldn't hurt me to walk somewhere for once.

I reached the cinema about 20minuets late. It took me longer than I thought. I guess I got caught in my thoughts.

Marcus's POV,

Finally Niomi walked into the cinema. I smiled and hugged her.

"What took you so long" I asked her. She frowned.

"Jack and Finn were on my bus. They were trying to touch me the whole time. I could feel them looking at me too." She looked like she was going to cry. I pulled her in tighter.

"Shushh Nims," she was cold. "Did you walk?" I asked her. She nodded

"I got off on the next stop, I was only 10 minuets away," I smiled at her and kissed her.

"Enough of the making out," said Alfie who was just walking through the door. He was holding Zoe's hand. "Inbertweeners2 starts in 5 minuets," Me and Niomi laughed and we all got tickets and food.

After the film we went to Pizza Express. We all ordered a pizza to share as we weren't hungry. We'd pigged out in the cinema. Everyone was in such a good mood until Jack and Finn walked in. Alfie and Zoe sighed.

Niomi's POV.

"Hello guys, mind if we join?" Said Jack. He winked at me and I felt sick again.

"Yeah we do mind actually" Alfie said in a raised voice. The boys took no notice and sat in between me and Zoe, Marcus looked ready to burst.

"You touch up my girlfriend on a bus and then you walk in here like nothing's happened!" Shouted Marcus. People around started staring. Marcus stood up and punched Jack straight in the face and then pushed Finn to the floor. Alfie grabbed mine and Zoe's hands and ran out to Marcus's car, Marcus ran after us and we drove home in silence.
