Mark laid in his bed for two days straight. He didn't eat, he barely got any sleep, and he rarely talked to anyone. The one thing that consumed him, was Jean. Everything he thought was about Jean. Since Jean was out of the picture, Mark thought his life was over. So he started thinking thoughts, suicidal thoughts. But he pushed them out of his mind, he knew that wasn't an option. He decided, since Jean moved on, so should he. He went out to the outdoor mall and saw Derek. "Hey dude! Where have you been?! You haven't been at practice, and we never see you anymore. Look I know you are upset about your break-" Mark cut him off "I want you to set me up on a blind date" Mark blurted. "Really, Mark? You are giving me control of your love life?" Derek asked in awe of what his friend just asked of him. "I know I will probably regret this later, but yea" Mark scratched the back of his neck,and gave Derek a weird glance. "Oh, you want me to start right now??" Mark just gave him an exasperated look. "Takin that as a yes! When would you like it?  Saturday night 7:30 p.m at Shenil's. Have her meet me there." Mark have Derek a hard stare. "Only four days to plan the girl and stiff, dude you are really pushing it. But ok." And Derek ran off. "Derek? The parking lot is that way." Said Mark pointing to the other side of the mall.
