Jacks POV

I skipped next class, Mark skipped with me. We went to the back of the field and just sat there, he was on his phone a lot but he still talked to me, "hey, since it's break next how about we just stay back here, I'll sit with you at break and then we can both sit with Signe at lunch? Unless you wanna be alooonnne?" He smirked.

I rolled my eyes and giggled at the way he looked at me, "I don't mind Mark, I'd love to stay here for break but it's up to you if you sit with us or not." I replied, secretly hoping he'd sit with me but I didn't want him to know I didn't want to be alone with Signe...

"Well I think I'm gonna ask Amy to the dance anyway so I should probably sit with her, you could ask Signe on a date and then ask her to the dance then, that's what I'm gonna do with Amy, we'll go on a date tonight and I'll ask then!" He suggested and my chest hurt.

I forgot about the dance... And Amy...

"Uh, I guess, but what do I say?" I asked in need of more of his teaching. "Well, just ask her if she wants to go somewhere with you tonight? Like dinner or even just the beach?" He shrugged as though it wasn't a big deal.

"Wait what about tutoring?" I asked and he thought for a second, "we can still do tutoring, just maybe for an hour instead of two hours, you could incite Signe out at 5 leaving you basically two hours to get ready?" He asked and I nodded.

"O-ok... I'll try... I like the beach, I'll probably invite her to the beach..." I mumbled as I was still thinking it through in my head. We heard the bell ring signalling the start of break and we watched the many students file out of the doors and outside into the summer breeze.

I spotted Signe and Amy walk out of the school together, laughing with each other, "Signe and Amy know each other?" I questioned and Mark looked up from his phone at me, "yeah they've been best friends since... Before I even knew either of them, that's why I was gonna suggest Signe for you because we could all go together to the dance as like a double date group thing." He smiled.

I did feel a little happier after what he said because at least I was going with him. Whether it was with him as more than a friend or not I could live as long as he was there.

I nodded before turning back, only to be met with both Amy and Signe walking towards us both. "Uh, Mark, they're coming over." I warned him and he once again looked up from his phone to smile at both the girls who were drawing closer.

"Hey Mark!" Amy called with a little wave and Mark slightly waved back and grinned with his perfect teeth, it made me jealous that he looked at her like that and not me...

"Hey Jack." Signe said and plopped down on the ground between me and Mark, with Amy next to her so we were completely separated. Amy started leaning against Mark and laughing with him, I was dying inside...

"So... I didn't know you and Mark were friends, I thought you said you just tutored him?" Signe asked me with a smile and her bright green eyes, she was extremely pretty... "yeah, uh, I do tutor him, I don't really know if you could class us as friends..." I mumbled but Mark must've heard our conversation.

"What d'you mean Jack? Of course we're friends." He chirped and moved slightly away from Amy and towards me, he rubbed my leg gently making me blush a little but smile. Amy looked at me with a look like I had just run over her cat.

Feeling slightly more confident I smirked before looking back at Signe, "Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are? Especially those emerald eyes." She blushed a little and Mark stared in shock.

"Thanks Jack." She giggled and moved her hair a little, "you wanna go to the beach later tonight, it's a nice day?" I asked and she grinned, "I'd love to!" She then looked over to Amy and they did like a cute girl thing where they basically had a conversation with just their eyes.

I laughed and she looked back at me in confusion, "what's so funny?" She questioned and Mark looked at me with the same look, "just the way that girls can communicate with their eyes and I have no idea what you're trying to say to each other." I laughed again and Signe joined in.

The bell rang again and I got up with Signe, we started walking away and I heard Mark asking Amy out on the date he was planning as well. I let out a small sigh and shook away all the thoughts I had about Mark before looking back over to Signe.

I smiled and listened to what she was talking about as we walked back into the school together, "oh and I heard what happened earlier." She said and I laughed, "Quite the rebel eh?" She wiggled her eyebrows making me burst out laughing.

"You are literally amazing!" I blurted out and then immediately went red and stopped talking, "aww, thanks Jackaboy."

Mark calls me Jackaboy...

"Sorry if I made that awkward, you're just so funny, and not many girls can make me laugh." I said still slightly taken back by her calling me by marks nickname.

"Well I do try!" She said in an awful English accent making us both laugh, but thoughts of Mark still lingered in my mind. We all the next lesson together, it was social studies.

I suddenly heard footsteps running behind me and quickly spun round only to be met with Mark grabbing me and spinning me around, "AGHHHH PUT ME DOOWWWNN MAARRRK!!" I screamed while laughing.

He lifted me off the ground and onto his shoulders where I almost hit the ceiling of the school, "SHIT MARK NO! IM FUCKING TERRIFIED OF HEIGHTS!!!" I screamed and grabbed onto his hair with a death grip.

"OW OW OW OW OK OK IM PUTTING YOU DOWN!" He responded as I tugged on his hair. He put me back into the ground and I let go but grabbed his arm, "sorry didn't realise you were scared of heights..." he breathed out as we both panted out of breath.

I looked up at him and saw his hair sticking up all over the place and immediately burst into laughter, "what!?" He asked trying not to laugh at me, "your fookin hair!" I wheezed and he ran to one of the display boards to see his reflection in the glass as I just fell onto the floor.

Amy and Signe were both laughing too and Mark started laughing when he saw it until he combed it all back down and we all eventually calmed down.

"Well that was fun, now we really gotta get to social studies." Amy said after we'd all stopped laughing and we all walked off to our lesson with Mark now standing next to me.

Amy was wrapped around his arm the other side but I was just paying attention to the way he kept purposely nudging me and was trying to keep a straight face about it.

We eventually got to our class and we were the last there, "you four are late!" Mr. Sparrow shouted as he always does, he was already pissing me off.

"And?" Signe scoffed and we all went to go sit down together at the back. I saw Felix in the row in front and threw a ball of paper at him. He turned and rolled his eyes at me, "hey Swedish pussy!" I whispered and laughed, he laughed with me and turned fully towards me as the teacher sat looking at her computer.

"What?" He asked, "come sit here." I gestured to the seat that was empty next to me as Mark was the other side, Amy made Signe sit next to her on the other side of Mark so I had an empty space.

He slowly got up and stayed crouched so he could move to the other seat without drawing to much attention and it worked! "Hey, are you ok now?" He asked because of earlier and I nodded, "yeah I'm good, sit with us at lunch?" I asked and gestured to Mark and the girls.

"Uh, is it ok if I bring someone?" He asked and I nodded. The teacher got up from her computer and started to teach the lesson which meant it was time to fall asleep.

A.N.
