Mark's P.O.V:
It's the first day of 10th grade and I'm already late.. today is going to be the worst day ever.
I walk up to my school, and see my best friend, Kayden, waiting at the door for me with a smile like always, I smile back at him and follow him in the building. "Where were you?" Kayden asks me, while I walk into the front office to sign in. "I overslept." I say simply, grabbing the tardy slip off of the front desk. I wasn't technically lying, I stayed up all night after attempting suicide for the third time this month. I really need to go to therapy, but that will just make my situation worse than it already is. "Guess what." Kayden asks me excitedly. "Hm?" I say walking up the stairs to head to our homeroom. "My mom asked to school if we could have all the same classes!" Kayden answers. "You did?!" I look back at him excitedly. He nods. I don't know when my body moved, but next thing I knew I was hugging him tightly, He knew I couldn't make many friends due to me being an introvert, and considered the weird kid. So I was thankful for his mom doing that. The day goes by quickly and after I finish my homework i head downtown and I sit at the dinner table with my older sister, Avery and my parents. Avery was texting one of her many friends and left the table without touching her food. I just shook it off and didn't bother her. I sat at the table with my parents in silence, and grabbed my phone due to getting a notification.

Taco dude: What's up Kayden?
Orange peel: just wanted to see if you were okay.
Taco dude: Can I come over to your house?
Orange peel: Maybe on Friday and we could hang out until Sunday afternoon.
Taco dude: Can we call?
Orange peel: Give me 30 minutes I have to talk to my mom, and finish my homework.
Taco dude: okay.

I snap back to reality and excuse myself to my room.When I get in my room, I sit on my bed, and squirm a lot. I don't know what's going on, so I try to go to bed.
*Ding*
*Orange peel has sent you a message*
I look at the message and my eyes widen.

I try to go to sleep but my stomach feels tingly and weird so I can't. I decide to get up and go to my sisters room and ask her what it's about. She tells me I might be horny or a stomach bug and send me off. So I head back to my room and try to fall asleep. An hour later I fall asleep,  and the next morning my stomach feels a bit better but still bad. What's going on with me am I weird??
