May I Have This Dance

Chapter 13

Jack's POV
Everything has been somewhat better since I forgave Mark. Sure he still spends a lot of time with Lucas, but he still shows up in my kitchen every other day. You know just eating my fucking hot pockets.
"So you have a costume for Halloween yet," I ask doodling in my notebook.

"I was just gonna go as a Zombie probably. He about you?"

"I'm going as Link."

"Remember the year we went as Mario and Lugi," Mark chuckles.

"The mustache was as big as your face."
We sigh and just sit in study hall not doing any work. The librarian sits at her desk not even caring about us doing nothing. Which I'm very happy about since I don't want to go home. Thank god Lucas had a family thing or I would have been here alone.
"We should probably go home. I drove here today since I finally got a fucking car," Mark chuckles.

"Does that mean you're my personal driver?"

"Basically," he scoffs with a smile.
We get up from our seats and go head out the door. I follow Mark to his new car. Sure it's pretty beat up, but it's a car. I get in the passenger seat while he climbs into the drivers side. Once we're buckled in Mark drives off to our houses. The radio blasts Spice Girls and I laugh at what he put in.
"The cassette tape is jammed in it okay," he laughs.

"Sure it is."
As we listen to this Mark starts to sing along even though he hates Spice Girls. The whole way I just laugh my fucking ass off. Jesus Christ this is why I love him. He just makes everything so damn fun.
We pull into Mark's driveway which Lucas is sitting in. His face doesn't show any happiness at all. Mark gets out of the car with confusion written on his face. I get out of the car and Lucas's eyes dart to me and then to Mark.
"Lucas, what are you doing here?"

"I was going to come over to see if you wanted to go get coffee since I was done with my family thing. Apparently you were out with him instead."

"Jack is my best friend. Plus I thought you would be gone for the rest of the day. So I decided to study with Jack for our pre calculus test."

"Sure you were," Lucas says looking pissed as ever going over to his car.
I stand here like a fucking lost puppy. There's no fucking reason for him to be upset. Mark is allowed to be with his friends and do what he wants. Soon enough Lucas is driving off to his own house. Mark curses to himself and sits on the curb. I quietly walk over and sit beside him.
"You alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just he gets very protective and he just pisses me off sometimes when he does this."

"I'm sure everything will be better by tomorrow. How about we go heat up some pizza rolls and watch a movie?"

"That actually sounds awesome."

"Then what are we doing sitting out here? To the pizza rolls!"
I dart inside his house and go to his kitchen. Mark follows behind me slowly. I go into the freezer and grab the pizza rolls and French fries. Mark grabs a cooking sheet and pours the frozen food onto it. While he does that I go search for a movie through the movie cases. Once I find a movie I pop it into the DVD player. Sure my mom should be worried that I'm not home, but she knows that if I'm not home I'm here. So there's no need for her to be worried. Mark comes out into the living room and sits on the couch. I sit beside him and lay my legs across his lap.
Twenty minutes into the movie the timer goes off for our food. We get up and go get our food quickly. As we eat we walk back to the couch and start the movie up again.
***
I would have spent the night tonight, but ma doesn't like me wearing the same clothes two days in a row. Plus me spending the night at Mark's on a school night is always a no. Which is stupid since we live right next to each other. Once I get out of the shower I wrap a towel around my waist and go to my room. As I search through my drawers I hum a song. I slip on boxers and takes the towel off after they're on. I slip on my blue hoodie and climb into bed.
As I scroll through Facebook my eyes start to droop. Sooner or later I'm passed out.

Kind of a filler chapter just because I didn't know what to do for this one. So spice girls and pizza rolls is just perfect.
