CHPT2- Magica*Spirits of the North [MSOTN]

Instructions

Since I won’t be posting anymore I decided to atleast post the draft of chapter 2. I will not be making art for this. Flashback if you need! ---+Yet his silky hair, with his little confused look, somehow stayed in my head the whole night and drove me absolutely crazy. Do I?.. No I don't. Maybe?... No... ...Yes I do. NO! Ugh fine.--+ May 8th, 2026 It's been a few months, and me and Marcus are thankfully friends. I've gotten pretty used to being in Montana, but it's kind of awkward having 2 friends. Actually one, Marcus, because I'm just lying to be generous to myself. I've actually got to know him well. He also moved to Montana like a year ago from Oregon, which is surprising because I didn't know anyone actually lived in that state. So weird seeing a cool guy like him come from a state like that. Anyways I'm meeting up with him today at the county fair. I looked for him in the crowd of happy families, friend groups, and just people. They all seemed so full of sunshine and rainbows, it made me sick. "Hey!" a voice called out. I looked to my side, Marcus had found me first. "Oh hey! Sorry I didn't see you." I said. "It's fine, don't worry! Anyways what's that? I've never seen it before," he said while grabbing my hand and dragging me away. If he saw my face I would've looked like a tomato. We went on a lot of rides, got some food, (which hilariously caused him to spill some ketchup on his only white shirt) and I finally felt happy for once. Like those families I mentioned earlier. I mean, county fair, with your crush, if I hadn't made it obvious, and just having fun. That was until, we decided to go on the ferris wheel. "Man this view is nice." He mentioned the trees, the sunset, all the buildings, he even somehow spotted our apartment building from here. Ridiculous. Until.. "Hey, I've noticed you've been acting a bit weirder lately.. like I don't know how to explain it but I guess you can say clingy?" he said. "W-what?.. Clingy?" I responded. "No- not like 'clingy,' like I guess- maybe being closer to me?" "Closer?.. I mean we are friends right.. I-i will give you some space if you think I'm getting too close but I-" "It's fine Ayano, I feel uncomfortable talking about this." "If you say so. But, if you don't mind.." Was I going to confess so early? I've been panicking since he noticed how close I've gotten.. I'll do it. "It hasn't been that long but-" "Get out the ride." The ride had stopped, and we had to exit the ferris wheel. Gosh nevermind. So embarrassing.. Marcus's parents had come to pick us up since they were so scared of us walking alone in the evening. "How was the fair?" Me and Marcus both responded "Great," but we gave eachother a look that clearly said, "That was awkward, don't talk about it ever again," kind of face. The ride was pretty long but not too short, and I started to get sleepy. So I laid my head back, and fell asleep. Until the car hit a small pothole. It wasn't big enough to wake me up, but SOMEHOW managed to move my head, and out of all the places, I had to land on Marcus's shoulder. That's what I all realized when I woke up. I opened my eyes, to find my head laying on his shoulder, and oh gosh the panic. "O-oh I'm sorry I must've fallen on your shoulder its fine I'll-" I kept stuttering. "Don't panic, I'm not bothered by it. In fact, if you want to sleep again you can." I said. "Wait.. what?" I responded. "I don't mind." He said, looking away. “It’s a friends thing right?” I look at him hesitantly then fall back on his shoulder.
