A.N.
Im so sorry it's been so long I've been busy and I guess just not in the mood to write which is a lousy excuse but I didn't want to write bad because I wasn't feeling it.

Jacks POV

"Ugghhhhh good morning to my confusing life!" I groaned as I whacked the shit out of my non stop bleeping alarm. When it finally shut up I crawled out of bed and went to go get food.

I decided to make a bowl of cereal today and I sat to eat it while thoughts of people flew around my mind like a tornado.

I love Mark... I'm like 80% certain I love Mark...

Signe likes me, Signe would be the natural choice for any guy.

I think Felix likes me, but I don't want to jump to conclusions, he could just be a friend, that sure would make a lot of things easier.

I just hope today goes ok...

Once I'd finished my cereal I went to go get dressed, I put on my black hoodie with my grey skinny jeans along with my white Adidas trainers. I also accessorised with my light grey beanie, all the neutral shades made my hair seem even more vibrant and I loved it.

Ok so it's Wednesday! I'm tutoring Mark today, meaning hopefully I can talk to him more about the dance?

I brushed my teeth before grabbing my bag and jogging out my front door, I left earlier today, early enough to walk to school, so that's exactly what I did, it gave me more time to think about what to ask Mark.

When I walked through the school gates the first person I see is Yami. "Hey green freak, where's your boyfriend? Y'know the boyfriend I like not the new freak boyfriend?" He asked in a mocking tone.

"The fuck are you on a about Aaron?" I asked and he frowned, "oh I've recovered from our previous encounter, don't think you'll get away so easily next time greenie, where's Mark?" He asked sternly as Tyler and Wade almost cornered me back, "I don't know! how the fuck would I know!?" I shouted and got close to his face, challenging him.

"Fuck off will you!" I shouted before turning and storming the other way, I didn't want to fight today, not because I couldn't, just because Mark told me I shouldn't.

I could practically feel Aaron's cocky grin burning into my soul as I walked away since he's assuming he won that time. I stuck my middle finger up high in the air facing back toward him and went to my first lesson, I had Geography.

Meaning Mark had Gym, and Signe is in my geography class, she's usually one of the girls stalking Mark out the window... I walked into my room and sat at my unfortunate window seat as more people slowly piled in.

"Ah, McLoughlin, it's nice to see you on time today!" My teacher said in a mocking tone as I had been quite late to most my lessons recently, "yeah, don't get used to it." I huffed back and saw Signe smirking at me in the edge of my vision.

She stood up and came over to the empty seat beside me, "hey, you didn't text." She put bluntly and I felt bad, "oh yeah sorry, I was super busy last night, don't message me tonight, I promise I'll message you first after school today." I replied and she smiled.

"Aha, thank you, what are you doing after school?" She asked as though she was a child asking their mother for a toy, "I'm tutoring Mark Fischbach, why?" Her reaction said it all...

"THE MARK FISCHBACH!?" She pretty much squealed, she took a dramatic deep breath as though to compose herself before smiling back at me, "how come you tutor him?" She was asking so many questions that I just wanted the lesson to start so she'd shut up....

"Because Miss. Geraldine made me..." I sighed as though I was pissed off or not happy with it, when really since I've been tutoring Mark my life has been so different, both better and worse, I'm more confident, but I've developed a stupid crush that'll never become a reality...

"Ahh ok, hey can I sit with you at lunch?" She asked and I looked up at her, "uh, really? Yeah ok, though I don't think I'll be sitting with Mark by the way, because he'll be with Yami and uhh, Y'know..." I replied and she laughed.

"Yeah Jack I know, it's fine, I didn't ask to sit with you so I could sit with Mark, I want to sit with you." She said sweetly and I blushed a little, "aha, thanks. So-"

"McLoughlin be quiet in my lesson!" The moody geography teacher, who I can't even remember her name, shouted at me, "you're not even fookin teachin anything!?" I retaliated making Signe giggle but what's her face get pissed off.

"Seán, one more strike and you're out!" She screamed and I just sighed and sat back before smirking at Signe's "really jack?" Face. We both started laughing and she punched my arm softly.

"MCLOUGHLIN SHUT UP!!! Fuckin freak..." A kid from the back of the class shouted, mumbling the last part but mocking the way the teacher calls me by my last name, "What the fuck did you just call me?" I asked standing up from my desk.

The teacher was nowhere to be seen so I'm guessing she left quickly to get something, I walked over to the kids desk and saw Felix on the way frowning at me, I ignored him and slammed my hands down on the guy's table, "I said, What the fuck, did you just call me?" I asked quietly but intimidatingly close to him.

"I, Uh, I didn't mean it..." he mumbled but I grabbed his collar and brought him out of his seat and against the wall, "WILL I NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU, NO MATTER WHAT I'LL NEVER NOT BE A FREAK RIGHT!?" I shouted more towards the whole class while still holding whoever this guy was against the wall.

I turned and punched a hole through the wall right next to his head before the teacher walked back in, before she could say anything I had already grabbed my bag and left the room.

I stormed down the hallway towards the doors onto the back field, when I heard my name being called and footsteps behind me, "Jack! Wait!" I came to a stop slowly but didn't turn back, because I recognised the boy's swedish accent. I lowered my head and looked at the floor before taking a deep breath to try and calm down.

"Felix, please, not now, I don't want to hurt you." I put blankly but he came close anyway, I felt his hand under my chin to bring my face up to look at him, "Jack please, calm down and stay in school, well just go to the office and wait for next lesson o-"

"Jack!?" Another voice cut him off and we both looked behind him to see Mark jogging up to us still in his gym uniform.

I instantly felt happier on the inside when I saw him but tried not to show it, "uh, Mark? What are you doing here?" Felix asked quite spitefully, "I could ask you the same question. But it's fine, I can take it from here so you can go." Mark shot back and Felix sighed before walking back to class.

Mark grabbed my forearms gently and walked me to the wall, I had my back against it and his hand under my chin to keep my attention on him.

I couldn't help but immediately imagine this in a sexual scenario...

"Jack, what happened? I was doing gym outside and I heard shouting from your open geography window, I came over to see what was wrong and realised you weren't in there?" He asked calmly, looking straight into my eyes the whole time.

"Mark... I'm sorry... Some kid called me a freak and I lost it, even after everything you've done for me I'm still not good enough..." I mumbled and I felt tears brimming my eyes, "sshhh... it's ok jack, don't listen to that guy, that's one guy who you don't even know, what about what I think?"

I frowned a little before breaking eye contact, "well what do you think then?" I asked and he made me look at him again, "I think you're a Funny, smart, adorable, confident and sexy Irish bastard." He smirked before chuckling.

I giggled and hesitantly wrapped my arms around him, he hugged back and I felt amazing. His kind complimentary words made me feel great, but just having his arms wrapped around me was amazing...

"Thank you Mark." I mumbled into the hug smiling and he stroked my back gently, "it's ok Jack, hey, sit with me at lunch?" He asked and I immediately panicked, "I'll sit with you and only you, not Yami or any of those guys." He said genuinely.

"Uh... I already told Signe I'd sit with her, but I'd much rather sit with you." I said and grinned, "why don't we sit with her?" He asked and I thought for a moment, "yeah ok, why not?"
