Marks P.O.V

I sunk down my chair as my pre-Calculus teacher when on talking about math problems and equations. next to my script book for theater I tapped my pencil on a spiral notebook with my paper blank as snow where I was supposed to be writing notes. I blankly stared at the board where my Calculus teacher stood writing endless work. ‘Why is he still teaching us? It's our last week here’ I asked myself wondering if anybody else asked themselves the same question.

Until Kacey's face popped in my mind.

Her laughter echoed in my head. The way she would stare right into my eyes when we would practice our lines. Kacey….I would always find her shyness cute…   'Whoa wait!? Am I actually having thoughts about her?'

I don’t know but there is something about her that I can’t figure out.

"Hey psssst Mark!" Someone’s whispered broke into my thoughts. I turned and it was David. "Hey dude I’m having a pool party this Saturday invite Stephanie to go with you; she’s hot man and I think she even likes you dude. Go for it!" He whispers a little more excited. Stephanie? I knew her since sophomore year. Yea sure we've talked and what not, but I don't see her the way David sees her or wants me to see her.  She tried kissing me twice last school year, but failed to. I know she likes me but I have no feelings for her what so ever. "Nah dude if I do invite someone it’s not going to be her." I whispered back at him. David looked at me as If I was crazy than a smile grew on his face, "Ooh dude you’re going for one of her best friends?"  He asks than laughs as he pushes me away from him "good thinking dude" he adds. I looked at him and smiled "No, none of them," I whispered still keeping my smile while David’s smile faded, "Dude what the heck... than who?" I turn to look at the script book that lied on the side of my desk. And my smile grew bigger. "Kacey," I say turning to him. Just by the sound of her name his mouth formed an 'O'.   

"Don't tell me it’s the girl that never talks" he whispered in a disappointed tone. 'I hate it when he calls her like that' I angrily thought. I stood up my sitting posture where I sat and looked at David a little bit more serious. "Dude, stop calling her that, its not funny" I say in a tone louder than the silence the whole class was in while the teacher gave his lecture. Everyone in the classroom turned around to look at me and David. "What’s going on over there?" Mr. Ramos says turning away from the board while placing his hands on his side of his hips. "Uh Nothing sir!" David yells from across the classroom. Not sure if to let us go off the hook because of our “bad” behavior. Mr. Ramos kept his stare at David and I like a hawk waiting to attack. 5 seconds later he stopped and continued on his lecture. "Okay sorry dude, I will stop but I just don't get why you are so into that girl. She’s nothing like the girls we hang out with man."

'Yea she isnt' I thought.

Kacey's P.O.V.

It was finally lunch. I walked through the crowd of students who were pushing everyone around eager to eat. "That’s the girl that punched Stephanie"     "Kacey punched Stephanie??"   "No way". That’s all I could hear.  'It been only two periods and now the word is everywhere? Boy does it spread on quick' I thought as I walked outside under the tree where our wooden bench was. Our spot where we always sat every day during lunch. As I opened the door to walk out of the school Stephanie's group of friends walked in looking at me not mad but not so happy also. 'Where’s Stephanie?' I thought when I walked out ignoring Stephanie's friends when I found my answer. She was with Mark and his group. She had a huge bruise on her nose but had a big smile on her face as she talked to Mark. I kept looking as I walked to the bench until Mark turned to face my direction. I saw Mark face lighten up when he saw me and gave me a friendly wave. I than turned away without waving back to him and tighten my English book closer against my chest. It hurts me doing that to him; ignoring his presence, but just for the moment..

I have to.

I sat alone on the bench for a while until I saw J.C, Amelia, Nekay, and Angel come running towards me with their lunches. "OH MY FRESH PICKLES!!! You punched STEPHANIE!?" Amelia yells as she sits next to me giving me huge smile of happiness. "I can’t believe it either," I laugh "Dude we all can’t believe it!" Nekay laughs sitting beside me also. "I think I saw it coming though," Angel says letting out a laugh while J.C. Sat next to Amelia. "DUDE I SHOULD OF BEEN THERE OH MY GOSH!!!" Amelia says still yelling. People around us stared at Amelia obviously knowing what Amelia yelled about. "Amelia. Babe calm down your making a scene," J.C laughs a little embarrassed pulling Amelia away from my face. "What happened with the principal though did you get in big trouble?" Angel asks. "Yeah dude tell us?" Nekay adds. "Okay well… instead if AEP he decided to give me lunch detention that starts tomorrow up to the last day of school" I say a little disappointed. "Damn dude that suuucks," Nekay says. "Aww Kacey, so were not going to see each other during lunch anymore?" Angel asks a little sad. "I know" I say now more disappointed. "But we still see each other before and after school anyways" J.C adds. "Yeah at least you beat that bitch ass and showed her not to mess with you Kacey!" Amelia says laughing as the rest of us agreed. I smiled and laughed with them, but I stopped to the thought of Mark. "Hey listen you guys..” Everyone stopped laughing and stared at me. Once I noticed they were listening I continued. “Well you know Mark-"    "oooh your lovey dovey" Amelia smirks as she hits me across my shoulder. I look at Amelia just to roll my eyes at her. "-Okay well I decided that I'm going try to stay away fromt him. Completely, and I feel that this summer it’s going to help me more"    "Wait what?" Nekay asks almost choking on her food. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Amelia yells once again, maybe this time waking up the aliens from outer space. "Uh did Kacey the girl who was crazy about this boy AND who she had a crush on for quite a while; who didn't have the guts before to talk to but who is finally talking to now! Said what!?" Angel asks giving me her shocked/confusion look. "I know dude it took you quite a while to talk to him and now you’re giving up?" Nekay asks with the same expression as Angel. "Wait a minute you like Mark?" J.C. asks clueless again. As confusion grew all around us. I felt pressure tighten around me as everyone stared at me wanting to know what I was going to say next that will surprise them all. 'What do I do? Angel, Nekay and Amelia are right about Mark....my feelings about Mark are still there of course but my brain wants me to be safe?' I thought. It was like my brain was fighting against my heart. Who do I choose? I obviously care for both of them...
