May I Have This Dance

Chapter 17

Mark's POV
"Come on babe it's just one class," Lucas pleads.

"No, it's more than that. It's one point down from my GPA being a 4.0 and work I have to make up. There is no time to do anything risky with exams after Christmas break. Which starts next Friday. So I need to pay attention as much as I can."

"God you're such a goodie fucking two shoes. Live a little."

"I will once I have a full scholarship to my dream college."

"Yeah and I'll have a full scholarship to dumping your ass!"
Lucas then storms away down the hall. I rush to class not wanting to be late. He's been so controlling lately. It's like he doesn't want me to succeed or have a life. For fucks sake he's been pissing me off so much lately. Felix walks in and sits beside me.
"How's things with Lucas going?"

"I don't even know anymore. He's either clingy or extremely distant."

"Well-nevermind."

"No, what were you going to say?"

"It doesn't matter you should figure it out on your own."
The bell rings and I'm in a large state of worry. What's going on with Felix? Is it about Jack? Even if it was why would I care. Nope totally don't care about him at all. None what's so ever.

Jack's POV
Their little argument in the hallway was enough to piss me off. He should be happy that he wants to succeed. Not complaining. Plus Mark should be the one complaining about Lucas making out with his new boy toy, Ryan. Lucas can fucking rot in hell for all I care. He deserves to have a pineapple shoved up his ass. Breaking up our friendship pissed me off, but him still cheating on Mark pisses me off even more. Mark really liked Lucas and now he's basically playing with him like a fucking barbie doll.
Mark deserves so much better than him. He deserves someone who doesn't toy with him, doesn't cheat and isn't an asshole. However Mark would probably forgive him if he ever found out. Since you know Mark is too swooned over his looks and "prince charming" ways. Even though Mark deserves better, I know for sure that he wouldn't pick me out of everyone. I mean I'm just me. Nothing special. So he definitely deserves better than Lucas and I.

I sit in the hallway deciding that creating a friendship with my teacher is not healthy. Since she's like 50 and I'm 16. Mark walks out of the lunch room with anger filled eyes. He tugs on his hair and punches the locker. His back presses against the lockers and he slides down with his coffee eyes closed. Mark sighs and rubs his eyes.
"Mark just calm down they're probably just fucking with you. He couldn't possibly be cheating. Lucas loves me. He would never."
I scoff from what he's saying to himself. Oh how wrong you are markimoo. I shake my head and he rubs his forehead with worry. Mark just looks totally beat from it all. My once cocky smikr turns into a soft smile. I crawl over to him and sit beside him and break my brownie. I give the bigger half to him and he looks at it and then me.
"You look like you need it," I chuckle.

"You have no idea," he sighs with defeat.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

"It's just everything is going awful at the moment. I mean I lost you and I'm stressed out about exams. Now the guys are telling me that Lucas is cheating on me and," Mark then begins to cry softly and I feel so bad for him.

"It's alright Mark. Everything is going to be okay."

"Sometimes I don't even know who to trust anymore. Since Bob tells me that you were right and Wade and Felix tell me that he's cheating. Nothing I choose is right. I mean everything has just gone down hill since I shut you out."

"Just because you shut me out doesn't mean that I did. I've been trying to protect you and I guess I'm not doing a good job."

"Why protect me when I've put you through so much?"

Because I'm in love with you idiot. "You've been my best friend since I can remember. Why would I give up on you now?"
Mark takes me into his warm embrace. I sigh in satisfaction and wrap my arms around him. I think I just got my best friend back. Which is the best thing to happen to me in the last three weeks. Sure it'll take a bit longer, but slowly we'll be back to our old ways. I hope..

Okay super short chapter. I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to put in it. Plus I know that they made up in the span of two chapters but in this world that I have created it's been like two or three weeks since they've been fighting for a while.
