Can Hate Turn Into Love?

Chapter 3

(Dragoon here!  Ok before or after you read the chapter,  I suggest you read Dragoon's biography.  It explains things about me and I know two people love my work, if not more. So I would suggest reading that!  It took me a day to figure out this chapter so I hope it's a good one!  Enjoy!)

Mark's POV

What the hell?! I just got punched?!  I caught X looking at the jackass who punched me with a mixture of concern and worry?! What the fuck!  I was the one to get punched!  The teacher was screeching at the guy who punched me, I really don't want to say his name.  He hugged and screeched at me to go to the nurses office.  I staggered to the nurses office.  I really wasn't looking forward to the rest of my school life if I had this bully on my tail.  I hate him!  I swear he gets off on this!  The nurse huffed and asked if Jack did it, when I nodded, she just sighed.  Ok this could be normal.  She could of dealt with a lot of injuries caused by him.  She patched me up and I went to my next class.  I found out that I was alone in that one... Well that's just awesome!  I was wanting to ask X about Jack and why he would look worried for him.

During lunch I found Cory and we were walking to find Manic and Jim.  We found them and made our way to someplace in the school... What?  I don't know the school that well!  Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!  Slide the slope.  Slide the slope!  I could hear.  I pulled Cory towards where the thoughts was coming from.  I saw a man running up a snow hill then sliding down, only to repeat his actions.  I heard three separate groans and I turned to ask them what when I stiffened.  Jack was coming down the empty hall.

"Fags". I could hear a smile on his voice,  why should he say that when people usually say that with malice? I just scowled at him in confusion really.

"Hey Jack! Since no one is in the hall, I figure it's good to speak to you? Your dad is out there making a fool of himself... Again" Manic answered. What?!  Ok he has to be loosing it to talk to this jackass.

"It's been a while since I saw your dad. He's as funny as ever. No wonder why you have that talking problem" Cory laughed. My sight quickly shifted to my laughing cousin.  Talking problem?  Ok what drugs are he on?  Really I want to know!

"Yeah, well blame him and father. Thanks to dad's stupidity and not knowing his strength, I'm like this. I could've died this morning thanks to a Bellyflop from him. I'm a lot like him actually. If we could find a way to censor it, I would be better. I'm just lucky that you know how to translate what I mean. Now if you excuse me, DAD GET IN HERE! YOU CAN SLIDE THE SLOPE AT HOME!!!" He leaned out of the doorway as he shouted the last part.  I really don't think he has a talking problem.... Until I realized that was more than I've ever heard in one go from him...

"What?" They asked. Jim even joined in too. I was still too confused so I stayed out of it.

"That was the first time ever that I got so many sentences right without screwing up! I'm so happy fags. Shit!" Hmm ok so he seems to actually have a talking problem..... Go figure.  I still hate for punching me and pinning me against the wall...

"Dude that's great. We know you mean guys" Cory said, patting his back.... Um, can someone explain please?  The man came and tackled him onto the floor.  I had to contain my laughter at this point,  this was too funny.

"Jacky, Rolf said you forgot lunch at home! So I came to give it to you! Ok bye!" He plopped down a paper bag and started to run away, arms trailing behind him.  Weird guy.  Funny but weird.  I burst out laughing... I couldn't hold the laughter in.  The rest looked at me funny as a smile broke out on each of their faces.  I could feel wetness on my cheeks and I know I was crying from laughing too hard.  I needed that.  I got punched and shoved into a wall.  He got tackled onto the ground by his dad.  This was priceless.  Cory, Jim and Manic said their goodbyes and dragged my laughing form away from him.  I started to slow down but the hiccups found its way into my system so I started to hiccup while trying to stop laughing.  Cory rolled his eyes at me.  I seemed to stop as Cory started to open his mouth.

"Ok, I'm sure we all need to explain why we know Jack.  Jack is the son to Jim's dad's best friends.  No they aren't Halflings.  They adopted Jack after his parents died.  Cases are not rare but luckily they knew that Edd and Kevin were Halflings and was raised with us.  Thanks to Ed throwing him around when he was younger.  That man doesn't know his own stregnth.  So thanks to that, there has to be brain damage and he can't talk right.  He doesn't mean anything when he says those things about Fags or anything.  It would be hypocritical of him if he meant it.  He's gay too, you see.  He also can't control his body sometimes.  That's why he is known as a ruthless bully when in reality he can't get words out right or control his body.  It's kinda sad really.  The ones that grew up with him are the only ones who can, what we call translate.  He can say one word and mean a whole sentence of only mean a word.  Usually when he says fags he means guys.  So you see?" Cory asked.  I could only nod at his words.  His mind said the same thing so I decided to believe it.

"Yeah he only said Fags when we met up this morning but in reality it translated roughly to this:  hey guys!  How are you doing today?  It all depends on what kind of tone he uses." Manic piped up.  I could o lay nod again.  This was so strange.  So hating him was out of the question is what they are saying.... Too bad I will still hate him no matter what.  First impressions are big and his screamed not trustworthy.  I'm gonna stick to hating him.  He can rot in hell for what I care!

(Yeah short but now the chapters are the same point pretty much!  What do you guys think, should Mark keep hating him?  It's kinda mean that he still hates him but that's his character! See you guys soon!)
