May I Have This Dance

Chapter 2

Jack's POV
My backpack is slung onto my back as I wait at the bus stop. Mark and his muscular stature slowly approach me. He stands beside me rubbing his tired eyes with a cute little yawn escaping his lips.
"Welcome back to misery," I sigh.

"No kidding. Did you here that there's a new guy this year? Felix said that since he was class president he had to show him around today," Mark tells me in a groggy tone.

"That's nice."
The big yellow bus pulls up and opens the small door. Mark and I shuffle up the tiny steps and sit in the back. We always get on first and it's quite pleasing so then we don't have trouble getting a seat. I rest my head on the window while Mark rests his head on my shoulder. The heat from his body is radiating off of him and onto me. The warmth gives me great satisfaction and I smile slightly. Maybe this year will be different.

Mark and I walk side by side into the school. People are talking and already making out. Mark goes to find his locker and I do the same. Since mine is a low number I'm on the second floor. Which is where most of my classes are thankfully. Poor Mark his all the way at the top and we have almost all the same classes. Only his are manly the bottom floor.
We meet up in first period which I'd rather not go to. Since it's Physics and I really don't want to do that at 7:30 in the morning. I mean who actually does want that? Who wants to be here period? Anyways Mark plops himself next to me with his backpack on the floor.
"I'm already done with the school year and it's the first day."

"I feel you."
The bell rings and Dan and Phil make the morning announcements. Basically they just say welcome back, the lunch today and about a football game on Friday. Which is what we'll be hearing a lot for a while. Once it's over we start class. The professor goes on and on to which I can barely even stand him.

I sit down across from Bob and Wade. They talk about this new game that's coming out and I'm just too hungry to even care.
"So Jack are you going to finally confess your feelings this year or are you gonna wuss out again. Just like the past two years," Wade taunts me like the little fucker he is.

"I don't know," I shrug look at the bitten sandwich.

"Jack it's been two years. Don't drag this out anymore. It's either this year or not at all," Bob tells me.

"We still have senior year so I have two years. I'll do it when I feel like I should."

"That's what you said last year and the year before that. So it's either this year or never," Bob comments.
He is completely honest about this. I have been procrastinating this for going on three years. Even though Bob and Wade are right I don't want to tell Mark. It might ruin everything and I don't honestly know what will happen if I do.
"Hey guys," Mark grins setting the red tray down on the table while sitting down.
Bob and Wade say their hellos and go into a conversation. However a few minutes later Felix shows up to our table with a blonde boy with brown eyes. He towers over Felix and he catches Mark's full attention.
"Guys this is Lucas. Lucas this is Bob, Wade, Sean and Mark," Felix introduces.
Lucas sits in between Mark and Felix. Mark keeps making tiny glances at him and I'm sure that Lucas knows. Dear lord please let him be straight. If he's not then it'll be harder to know if Mark feels the same. That's hard enough as it is. Since at the moment I can already see a crush forming in Mark's eyes for him.

Mark's POV
His deep brown eyes sparkle in the most perfect way. The way a few strands of blonde hair fall in front of his face. Before I know it Lucas is sitting beside me. To make it seem less creepy by just staring at him I divert my attention to my tray. However I catch a few glimpses of the beautiful boy. He doesn't seem to know I keep making glances until one time where I look a bit longer. Our eyes meet and I feel my face heat up and I look over at Jack. His head is in his hand not looking his happiest. I'm sure he's just pissy that he's back in this hell hole.
Jack looks at me and gives me a grin. I return the action and pay attention to Felix and Wade's conversation. Which isn't all that interesting.
I feel eyes staring at me and it makes me feel uncomfortable. My eyes divert to Lucas and he quickly looks away.
Was he looking at me?

Yay! Second chapter is absolutely great and to my standards.
