NO ONES POV

Ellie gave him a warm smile, mark tried not to smile so instead he just looked at her and sat down. Mark couldnt even focus, his mind was going in so many places, but mostly to ellie. The way she wore a cute messy bun so her long brown hair doesnt get in her face while writing. The way she has to wear dorky glasses to look at the white board. Mark gave himself a small laugh and continued to try and take notes.

Class was over and mark walked out of class. He walked into the hall way until he heard footsteps behind him. "Hi hi" ellie said, "hey" mark said having a very noticeable forced smile on his face. He didnt smile much so infact he didnt know how to smile at all. Ellie chuckled and mark was confused... "why are you laughing?" "Oh i dont know... probably because that smile looked fake as hell" ellie said almost bursting into laughter. "Shut up" mark sais rolling his eyes, finally after ellie could hide her laughter she managed to form a sentence "you dont need to fake a smile around me, u dont even have to smile" she said looking at mark. Mark noticed what she said and he turned his head to look at her, "what?" Mark said clearly knowing what ellie had just said, but he wanted to hear it again. "You know exactly what i said" ellie said giving a slight smirk, she smiled and turned to the side to walk to her next class. Mark just walked to his class completely mindless. "What the hell is she doing to me?" he thought. Mark scoffed and sat in his class ready to fall asleep till next period.

Mark was woken up by the bell. "Mmmmm" he groaned and got up and walked out of the classroom. He kind of slowed down ellie's class so he could walk with her. Ellie eventually came out and said hi to mark. Ellie looked at mark and mark looked at her deep hazel eyes. And ellie ruined the moment by bursting out into wheezes and laughing. "M-mark!! AHAHAHA you- you..... your-r hair!!!" Mark looked at her in confusion. "Huh?" "Here let me help you out there Mr. Bed head" thats when mark knew exactly what she was talking about, he had this one hair that had never grown since he was a kid and everytime he wakes up it pops up like a little rooster. Ellie went up to mark and started brushing through his hair and standing on her tippy toes so she could reach marks head, eventually she got that stubborn piece down just like his other hairs. Ellie got off her tippy toes and was face to face with mark feeling eachothers breaths. Giggling ellie said "were going to be late pretty eyes" mark snapped realizing he was starring into ellie's eyes, and said "uh... yeah right" he itched his neck awkwardly and sped walked to the next class. Soon the final bell rang and school had ended.

"Yes finally" mark said with a sigh of relief. He felt a tap on his shoulder and when he turned around it was ellie, i mean of course it was ellie who else would it be...

"Hi" they both said. "JINX YOU OWE ME A SODA" ellie screamed and pulled mark out of the school and ran. Ellie was laughing and smiling till her cheeks hurt. Mark was trying to hide his happiness, he hadnt felt like this since mom left. They had stopped all of a sudden after about 10 seconds of running. Ellie stopped and turned around to look at mark, looking at him directly in the eyes and said "wanna go to 7-11 and buy me that soda?" Mark smiled a little, not with his teeth, but it was enough for ellie to be excited about her soda.

They got to 7-11 which only took about 2 minutes and mark like he promised bought her a soda. Mark could feel his cheeks get warm from seeing the girl jump for the soda. After buying the soda ellie and mark both went outside walking back home. "I dont know how a 16 year old could be so excited over a soda?" Mark said. Ellie just looked at mark and gave a wide smile, mark felt butterflies in his stomach.

They were infront of ellies house and ellie turned around and got super close to mark, nose barely touching. Ellie looks at mark and goes to whisper in his ear and say "i had a very fun time, lets do it again over the weekend". She was right, it was friday. Mark had completely forgotten about the days because he was so distracted with ellie, wasnt complaining though. She backed away from mark and mark shot her a quick smile before walking away to his own house. Leaving ellie jaw dropped
