Jack's POV
I wake up and grab my phone, opening the message.
Message from: M
Good morning babe xx
I smile.
Morning.
Are you okay?
Yeah. Why?
I don't know. Just making sure. I'll see you at school xx
Okay.
I put my phone in pocket and get up, walking over to my closet. I undress and find new clothes, putting them on. I grab my bag and walk downstairs.
"Honey?" I look over and see my mom sitting on the couch.
"What?" She gets up and walks over to me.
"Are you okay? You seem a bit off lately..." I shrug.
"Why do you care? You're never here, you could care less. Why do you all of a sudden care about what's going on in my life!?" I yell, walking to the door.
"Jack I-" I turn back around.
"Just leave me alone and don't talk to me, okay?" I open the door and walk out.
"Jack? You okay?" I shake my head.
"I just yelled at my mom and I don't- I didn't mean to..." He walks over to me and hugs me.
"What did you say?"
"She asked me if something was wrong and I went off on her saying 'You're never here why do you care' and shit like that. I didn't mean to.. It just came out..." He hugs me tighter.
"It's okay. What about you and Mark? Are you gonna talk to him?" I shrug.
"I don't know..." We let go from the hug and start walking to school.
"You, and I hate to say this, really need to apologize. You said a lot of things that you shouldn't have. You guys are partners for a project! You can't ignore each other." I nod.
"I know...ill do it later." He nods.
"Well, I'll see you later." I nod and walk to my locker.
"Jack..?" I turn around.
"What Mark?"
"Can I talk to you..?" I sigh and shut my locker.
"Well be late to class." I say. He nods slowly.
"I know that, but we really need to." I nod and follow him.
"Where are we going exactly?"
"To the tree." I nod. We walk to the tree and sit down.
"So..."
"I'm sorry for yelling at you yesterday... I didn't mean it." I say.
"It's fine...and I know I need to tell my friends the truth and for them to go away, but it's jut so difficult...and I realize that I want to keep my 'reputation' even though I shouldn't care about it. It's just so hard to do things like that." I nod slowly.
"I get it. Just, please. Tell them the truth." He nods.
"I'll do it later..." There was a slight pause.
"Do you wanna skip school today?" I look at him.
"Like, leave?" He nods.
"Yeah. We're already late. Why would it matter?"
"I guess.." We get up and walk back into the school to my locker. I put all my stuff in and grab my jacket.
"Where are we going exactly?" He shrugs.
"Do you wanna go get hot chocolate? Or something?" I nod. It has gotten pretty cold.
"The cool doesn't really bother me that much because I really like fall. It's my favorite season." I say.
"Mine too... My favorite thing about fall is when the leaves change.." I smile.
"That's my favorite thing about fall too." We get into his car and he starts driving.
"After we get drinks do you maybe wanna go to the park?" I nod.
"Yeah. That's fine." He pulls up to a little shop and we get out. He opens the door for me and we walk in.
"Go find a seat. I'll order." I nod and walk over to a little booth in the corner and sit down. I pull out my phone and open Sam's contact.
Hey I skipped school today with Mark. I'm pretty sure we made up. We will be back before school ends because Mark needs to do something important.
I get a text back.
Okay. That's good. I'll see you later.
"Here you go." I look up and see Mark with our drinks. I put my phone away.
"Thank you..." I take the hot chocolate and sip it.
"So, um...how are we supposed to do the thing with my friends today?"
"Oh, I don't know..." He nods.
"Let's go to the park." I nod and we get up and walk out back to the car.
