Marcus's POV

Me and Niomi walked into Starbucks and ordered two caramel frappes. We sat down in a booth and scrolled through our twitter feeds.

"Selfie for insta?" I asked her. She nodded and sat beside me smiling for the camera. I captioned it,

With the bæ in Starbucks @niomismart

She smiled at me and we took a few more silly selfies posing differently in each one.

We walked home via the seafront. Niomi dragged me down onto the beach. We strolled hand in hand for a while.

"Are you excited for tomorrow?" She asked me. Tomorrow was when we found out if we'd got into Brighton University. If anything I was nervous. Niomi got straight A's, that's like getting a free pass in. I ha gotten a mix of A's and B's. I was scared she'd find a new group of clever friends, and maybe even replace me.

"Marky?" She said. I hadn't realised the time it took me to blurt out an answer.

"Yeah," I said quickly. I walked Niomi back to hers and then made my way to my house.

"Hello Marcus." Said Fran. She was back from college again. It seemed like she was never there.

"Hey," I muttered to her. She handed me a bowl of pasta an I sat down at our dining room table. I picked at my pasta and left mostly all of it.

"Marcus, you havent eaten a thing!" shouted Fran at me as I walked up the stairs.

"Well maybe i'm not hungry," I muttered. I got changed, got into bed and fell straight asleep.
