I Care About You... (a septiplier fan fic)

•Chapter 2•

As time went on through the school year, Mark and I got closer and closer and my crush on him got bigger and bigger. Through the year we made a small group of friends.

Cry: he always wore this white mask which administration allowed him to do for personal reasons. He was pretty quiet and had a smooth voice, he was very nice and always had the best jokes. He always had the best snacks too and was always kind enough to share amongst us.

One time, we went out hiking and he stopped dead in his tracks and disappeared into a bush. He came back out seconds later with a white rabbit in his palms, he decided to name the little one Bonnie.

Felix: He was surprisingly foreign like me! Came from Sweden and got a girlfriend named Marzia after 6 months in school. He's a prankster and lives to be the center of attention, he was pretty smart but, of course, had his not-so-bright moments.

Back in 7th grade, we played truth or dare, Marzia was with us. He had to wear a dress and have his hair in pigtails, in front of her. It was probably slightly traumatizing for her, but the biggest laugh for us. We now call him the "fabulous princess".

Ken: He seems like a clone of Mark, very peppy and revving to go. He loved school and was always very excited to learn, he always wore this bear hat, said it was lucky.

One day, we were in the computer lab, ken was teaching us how to use photoshop. He decided to photoshop a teacher we all didn't like to look like an ape, it was very well made and looked like a real species of ape. It was the first time we all got detention.

Yami: He was a very flirtatious guy, he especially liked to "playfully flirt" with Mark. He would be talking all the time, he was super nice but a little bossy, he always got into a lot of trouble for talking back to the teachers and chewing gum in class, he also talked about drugs a lot. He wasn't really the most academically gifted either. this guy seemed a bit off, but i just couldn't put my finger on it...

I have issues with Yami, I don't want to be selfish so I put on a brave face and try my best not to cause trouble, the last thing I want to do is hurt anyone in our friend group.

This was our regular group, we all would do nearly everything together and hang out all the time after school to study and play video games. Everyone was very close, but the bond me and Mark had felt a little different. We told each other just about everything! Of course, I tried my best to flirt with him, even if i didn't know if he was straight or not.

And by flirting, I mean a lot of stuttering.

After the first quarter of seventh grade, Mark and I had a sleepover at his house, just the two of us. We were in his room and we were sitting in our sleeping blankets and talking.

"Hey Jack, I can tell you anything right?"

"Of course Mark! We've been best friends since the start of 6th grade, I don't care what you tell me, it won't change the fact that were best friends."

"You won't hate me?"

"I promise! I never could hate you."
He seemed a but hesitant to tell me, which surprised me because there was nothing that we hid from each other.

"Well, Jack, this may sound weird the way I say this: normal boys like girls right?"

"yeah I guess... sort of?"

"Well, I don't think i'm normal." He sat up and looked at me, tears began filling his eyes, I began to get a little concerned. He hugged his knees to his chest, he sniffled a bit.

"Well what do you mean by that Mark?"

"Well, I don't think I like girls Jack. I think I like boys..." Then his tears began to flow down his cheeks, sniffles filled the silence of the room.
