3rd person POV

The next day, Friday, was filled with preparations for the dance and many flirtatious moments between Jack and Signe, which caused a large amount of jealous looks from Felix and Mark. Surprisingly, even after what had happened Thursday night between the new and slightly forced couple on Jacks side, they seemed to be getting really close. That is of course due to the green beans amazing acting, and his will power to try and convince himself to get over Mark.

The confused teenager just wanted to give up on Mark and accept their heterosexual friendship. Except that Jack is not heterosexual. He's bisexual. Meaning he still could be with Signe, if he wanted to be, but he doesn't.

He wants to be with Mark.

Jacks POV

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-

I reached over from my couch to grab my phone that was ringing, I looked to see Marks contact bleeping on the screen and smiled instantly before answering.

"Hey Mark!" I said cheerily but I frowned as soon as I heard his voice, "Jack get here now." He sounded so serious, and slightly panicked...

"Uh- umm, ok but where exactly is 'here'?" I asked as I heard what sounded like pacing footsteps through the phone, "my house! Just get here please!?" He shouted and hung up before I could say another thing.

I immediately thought the worst and that someone was in his house trying to murder him. So I grabbed my metal baseball bat and my small pistol, yes it's a real gun... It was my dad's before... Nevermind, but it's all I have against the murderers in Marks house!!!

I quickly sped down the street in my parents old car and stopped outside Mark before getting my gun out and holding my baseball bat in the other hand, I opened the already unlocked door and slowly went up to Marks room.

"Jack?"

"AGHHHHH!!!!"

I screamed at the sudden voice and swung my baseball bat as Mark quickly dodged out of the way.

"WOAH JACK!?! FUCKING HELL YOU NEARLY TOOK OFF MY HEAD!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING WITH A GUN AND A BASEBALL BAT!?!" He shouted and I looked down in embarrassment.

"Uh... Sorry, but over the phone I assumed you were being murdered... so I came prepared... but man am I glad you're not and that you dodged my swing!" I shouted before lunging forward to hug him. I felt him tense up before relaxing and I felt his smile against my shoulder.

Suddenly he pushed me back, "Look Jack, I called you over because it's the dance today, we need to pick the girls up from Amy's at 6:30 in the limousine which will arrive at 6:10 outside my house. But until then, we have exactly 2 hours and 26 minutes to get completely ready, of course I have your clothes here for you and I heard that Signe has a turquoise dress meaning just a white corsage will look nice, so I got you one for her!"

Mark finished rambling and pacing with all my stuff before smiling at me and putting it all in my arms, "ok, so, if you go to your room and get changed into this and then come back and I'll do your hair for you ok?" He sounded like a mother getting their child ready for their first ever date.

"Uh, ok, thank you Mark." I smiled and left the room, trying not to drop all the stuff, when I got through the door I threw it all onto my bed.

I looked at the navy blue suit and knew that would go well with the turquoise tie I had picked- oh... Mark already got me a black tie with thin turquoise stripes... That's actually cool.

I got changed into everything Mark gave me after spraying more deodorant and then putting on spray and cologne after. I put on my shoes and looked in the full body mirror.

I look good... and I'm not even done yet... I'm gonna do my own hair!

I went across the hall into the bathroom before Mark could see me and I brushed through my hair, after it had no knots I got a tiny bit of gel just to smooth over the front and sides to keep them in place.

I spent time shaving my slight facial hair, not completely off but just to look neat, and I even found eyebrow tweezers and fixed my eyebrows up a bit, they didn't look much different but doing all this sure made me feel better about myself!

When I finally thought I was ready I walked out of the bathroom and back into Marks room, he was standing in front of his mirror in a black suit and red tie, he turned to face me, his red hair was also styled similar to mine and he had black, thin framed glasses on.

He looked sexy as hell.

I bit my lip and looked over his whole body about 7 times and I believe he was doing the same to me, minus the sexual lip bite.

"Wow Jack, you look amazing." He breathed, I finally looked back up into his eyes and we both blushed, "says you..." I mumbled and looked back over his figure one last time, "what you like what you see?" He smirked and slowly turned in a circle, those pants make his butt look so good...

"Oh shut up!" I complained and we both laughed, he walked over to me and handed me the corsage I had to give to Signe before we both walked downstairs, we had 1 and a half hours left making it 4:40, "hey, I know there'll be snacks and stuff there but, d'you wanna have dinner out before we go?" He asked awkwardly.

"Uh, yeah ok sure." I smiled and blushed, us at a dinner table, in suits, we'd look gay as fuck, and I'd love it...

He smiled back and flashed me those perfect pearly whites before we both walked to the hall by the front door. He opened the door and held it open for me to leave before closing and locking it behind him, I'm guessing Bobs out.

Mark hopped into his fancy car and we drove listening to the radio for 5 minutes till we reached a restaurant I had never been to before called
"!S¡mply ¡tal¡an!"
We walked through the doors with him linking onto my arm and me casually dying inside.

I was probably bright red like a tomato but who wouldn't be at this moment, it really felt like a date...

A lady came over to take us to our seats and pass us menus, we followed her till she reached a more secluded area for two on comfy red seats round in the back corner of the restaurant, however it was by a window meaning there was still stuff to look at, it was very pretty outside with the sun setting slightly and the sky a mix of purples and pinks.

I looked through the Menu for a minute before asking Mark what he was getting, "I always just get the Cheese pizza, it's so good!" He grinned and I giggled, "well Im gonna have a coke and I might get the Hawaiian!" I smiled and he looked shocked.

"PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA!?!? YOU LIKE PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA!?!?!?!?" He suddenly said pretty loudly and I went wide eyed, "uhhh... I feel like I should say no but I don't want to lie so yes... Yes I do like Pineapple on Pizza, IT'S FOOKIN DELICIOUS!!!" I shouted back and he bit his lip trying not to laugh and shout all at once.

"NOOOO JACK!!! I can't oh my god pineapple on pizza is what ruins lives, why would you purposely choose for it to be there to eat!?!?" He looked like a mix between disappointment and ready to explode of laughter over our stupid argument but I started laughing before he could get there which then set him off.

"Ok ok, let's just agree to disagree that Pineapple on Pizza is kinda like Marmite, you either love it, or you hate it! Oh and by the way I hate it." I finally said after we stopped laughing, he sighed of relief and nodded, "thank god! At least we can agree on something." He grinned up at me with his sparkling eyes crinkled a little at the edges from his smile.

He wiped away a few laughter tears that had escaped his eyes as our waitress came back over, "what can I get you two lovely gentlemen?" She asked sweetly with a smile.

"Can we both have a coke and I'll get the margarita, and he's gonna be gross and get the Hawaiian..." he rolled his eyes before chuckling a little but the waitress looked over to me in dismay, "oh god no, I never understood Hawaiian pizza I mean how is Pineapple on pizza good?" She said and Mark smirked at me, "See I told you!" The waitress giggled at Mark before walking off to get our food and drinks.

We continued to talk until she came back, "enjoy your date!" She winked and started walking away, I looked over to Mark in shock as blush tinted my cheeks, but instead of saying anything he just smirked before winking at me!?

"Mark!?" I finally spat out and he laughed, "I'm just joking with ya jackaboy." He reassured before we started eating, however, through the whole meal, I just couldn't wipe away the goofy smile that was plastered to my face.

At least I'm not the only one who thinks it's a date!
