Marius de Seager

Chapter 1 — Marius

Marius hated beginnings.

I hated them because they always meant the same thing: a new place, new faces, and too many questions.

She closed her bedroom door and went downstairs without making too much noise. She slung her backpack over one shoulder and grabbed the keys she had left on the table.

"Are you leaving already?" her mother asked from the kitchen.

-Yeah.

—Aren't you going to have breakfast?

-I'm not hungry.

He didn't wait for an answer.

She left the house and started walking towards school.

The sky was gray and it was a little chilly. Marius put his hands in the pockets of his jacket as he walked, wearing headphones even though he wasn't listening to music.

I just wanted to get there.

And go unnoticed.

As he entered the school, several people began to stare at him.

It was inevitable.

New student.

Marius already knew that look.

The one about "who is that? "

The one about "it's insurable and problematic".

The one about "I want to know your name. "

He didn't care.

She entered the room and chose one of the last seats.

He sat down, rested his arms on the table, and looked out the window.

—Marius, right?

He looked up.

He was one of the boys in the classroom.

-Yeah.

—I'm Noah. Where are you from?

—From another school.

Noah stared at him for a second.

—Well… I already figured that out.

Marius let out a small laugh.

—Then why are you asking?

—To get to know you.

—Bad idea.

Noah laughed.

—I like you now.

Marius shook his head and looked out the window again.

The teacher came in a few minutes later and began taking attendance.

—Marius.

-Present.

The professor paused briefly.

—Guys, he's new. I hope you make him feel comfortable.

Marius almost laughed.

As if that were possible.

As the teacher continued speaking, Marius looked around the room.

People talking.

Some were laughing.

Others are copying things.

Everything seemed normal.

Until the door opened.

A girl rushed in.

Marius is 17 years old. He's reserved at first and doesn't usually talk much to people he doesn't know. He has brown hair and a calm, somewhat sarcastic, and confident personality. Once he gets comfortable, he becomes more fun and affectionate. He speaks naturally and doesn't exaggerate his emotions. The story is a teen romance with drama elements.
