Sean, yet again, wakes up to the beeping of his loud alarm clock, he moans turning over.  Today, hopefully, will not be as bad as yesterday.  His jaw still hurt a bit.  He thinks about how Mark saves him pretty much every time Nash, and his buddies come by.  Sean smiles slightly, thinking, Mark, 'a red headed angel sent to rescue him.'     Sean is excited to see Mark today, although he still considers them 'not friends and only nice to each other for a project.'   Sean thinks on how he will start the conversation between themselves off, he figured it would be about the science project, its almost done.

"Jack, breakfast time." His father calls him down. Sean slowly shuffles, out out the warm cocoon of warmth, out of bed and downstairs to eat.  Sean sits at the table getting ready to eat the bacon, sausages, and eggs.   "So son," His father takes a bite of food chewing than swallowing, "What are you most looking forward to here in America?"

Sean takes a bite of food than looks up at his father, "The summer, and less rain." He answers truthfully.  His father nods and they continue to eat.  

Sean heads up stairs after he is done eating to get ready for the day, well school.  He goes into his room putting on a plain tee-shirt, favorite sweater, which smells of Mark, jeans, and high-tops.  He brushes his hair and teeth then heads back downstairs where his mother is waiting patiently to bring him to school.

***

When Sean begins to enter the school he immediately looks for Mark.  He wants to ask about the science project, so he can actually socialize with someone.  Mark is standing near the door with his friends, He smiles widely, "Hello, Sean, I didn't want anything bad to happen so I stayed by the door," Mark scratched the back of his neck still smiling.

Sean returned the gesture to Mark and walked to him. Sean decided to stay quiet about the science project.  Mark made room for Sean in there friend circle, "These are my friends," He gestured to everyone around him, "That is Star, shes Abby, this is Danielle, Wade and Bob."  Sean only nodded staying close to Mark, "And he, everyone, is Sean,'' Mark said stepping away for a second to show Sean "off."

They all smile, and Star whispers something to Abby and she smiles, giddily, agreeing.

"So," Danielle says smiling, "This is this 'Sean' Guy, Mark goes on and on about you you know, Sean?" She questions tilting her head into Mark.

Sean blushes and look away shaking his head 'No.'  He grabs onto Marks sweater sleeve for comfort moving in closer to him,  Star and Abby squeal when this happens, he wonders why. 

The conversation continues and Sean thinks that they all  seem really nice.  More people came into the friend group, 'cursed Mark for being popular.'  He thought keeping his grip on Mark's sweater sleeve staying quite.   They where talking about who was with who, dating and everything, Sean tugged on Marks sleeve, "Hey, Mark?"  Mark looked down big golden brown eyes meeting Sean's soft warm sky blue ones.

Mark tilted his head, "Yeah, what is it?"

"Are you taken... l-like do you have a-a girlfriend?" Sean looked down, grip tightening on Mark's sleeve.

Mark smiled softly, he did indeed and it is Danielle.  Though, Mark did not know why, he had no "real," per say, feelings for her, everyone around them convinced Danielle and Mark to date so they went along with it.  They are more of really close friends then anything. "Yeah, Jack, I do, it's Danielle."

Sean tilted his head up towards Mark, he did not really know what to say to this.  Sean has never had a girlfriend, they always laughed if he ever did have the confidence to ask them out. He only smiled at Mark to show he 'cared.'    



After awhile of Mark being the center of attention, of their group, Sean gets lost in his hair, his beautiful deep red hair, like fire flowing so beautifully, almost like a gorges firework exploding from all of Marks thoughts.  Once the bell rang people were shoving Mark and Sean left and right trying to get where they needed to be, Sean had to let go of Mark's sleeve and ended up getting behind his group.

Sean looks to the side of him and sees Nash, "Oh, hello Leprechaun." Nash smiles wickedly. Sean's cheeks flush and he looks around for the red haired boy, he sees him, far up lost in the crowed. While hes looking someone, Nash, trips him he falls with a squeak and a loud thud.

Sean's cheeks flush as everyone stops and swarms around to see what happened.  He sees someone pushing their way through the crowd of students.  Sean awaits looking, his eyes burning with curiosity, then he sees red, and someone call, "Jack," Mark immediately kneels down next to Sean.

Sean slowly rises up to a sitting position.  He smiles slightly at Mark who is now getting up to face Nash.  Sean hears murmurs going around the crowd, "Nash and Mark where really close i wonder what happened?"   "Are they fighting, since when did that happen?" "Oh, Marks found someone better finally,"

Sean wondered what this could all mean, he honestly was worried about Mark, 'About his Mark'  He saw Marks, usually calm chocolate brown eyes, become furious and dark, with anger.

"Why are you bullying him?" Mark asked practically screaming hands clenching from fists to regular.

Nash scoffed, "He is not normal, he's a leprechaun.  And, Mark, why are you standing up for him hes nothing." 

Mark clenched his jaw, Sean just now realized how defined and muscular he is. "He is not nothing, Nash, he is everything and more, his story, his feelings, his belongings, all, everything he is, mashed into something so beautiful, you wouldn't even come close to being able to comprehend it." He said spiteful.

Sean blushed deeply, he thinks that Mark is going overboard with this, he is not worth all this fighting.

"Mark, it looks like you have a crush" Nash said smiling, crossing his arms. 

That was the last straw for Mark, Sean could tell so he pushed himself off the ground and over to Mark, but he was to late, Mark ended up throwing his fist into Nash's Jaw.
