It had been a few weeks since Mark had called me last. He called me a few times when I was alone and once when I was with Marlee. I feel like I've gotten really close with Mark, to be honest. But, I know I need to control myself because I'm just another one of his fans. I think he blocked my number so I wouldn't be able to annoy him and spam him. I hate that, but I'm going to have to accept it. It's what he does with everyone. Besides, I have other things to worry about. Finals were coming up. I seriously had to focus on school and not some celebrity that noticed me once.
---------------------------------------------

"This is so damn complicated," I mumbled to myself. Algebra is my lowest grade right now and I need to ace this final if I want to have all A's and B's for the school year. But all I could think about was Mark. I thought about how he called me beautiful and all the talks we had. We didn't have very many, but I cherished them all. There was only one way I could get myself to stop thinking about him, call him. I pulled up his contact in my phone. (which I saved because duh.). And pressed the call button. It rang and rang and rang and rang. Just when I was about to hang up, I heard, "Hey, Av!"

"Mark?" I asked, confused.

"Yeah it's me, what's up?"

"Oh my gosh, why do you still have my number? I thought you blocked it,"

"Why would I? I consider you a friend," then he mumbled something that I couldn't hear.

"What?" I said.

"What? Oh nothing. What did you need?"

"I'm really stressed with school," I said with a sigh.

"Don't worry. Try your best and don't give up. I'm always here for you if you need me,"

"Thanks, Mark. I'm here too,"

"Okay I probably need to go so you can finish your homework,"

"Yeah," I sighed, again.

"Good luck and don't give up. Bye, babe," he hung up before I could say goodbye too. I immediately closed Marks' contact and opened Marlee's to call her.

"What's good?" She asked.

"I just got off the phone with Mark and he called me babe!"

"Omg no!"

"Yes! I'm freaking out right now!"

"Okay tell me more about it tomorrow. I'm studying,"

"Yeah, same. Bye Marlee,"

"Bye, Av," I shut off my phone and continued working on my homework.

---------------------------------------------

"Okay class, here are your assignments you had from homework last night," my algebra teacher said. I was super, super anxious to get this assignment back. If I do well on this, I'll do good on the final. She came across the classroom to my desk. She gave me my paper upside down. Shit, I must've done terrible on this. I picked up the paper to look at it. 98%. I only missed one! I let out a sigh of relief that I didn't realize I was holding in. The bell rang and I was off to lunch. I had to call Mark immediately.

Once I got to the lunchroom I opened Marks' contact and called him.

"Hey, Av. What's going on?"

"Hey, you know that assignment I called you about yesterday?"

"Yes of course! What about it?"

"I got a 98 on it!"

"Oh good lord. I thought I messed you up," he laughed. "Good for you, Avonlee."

"Thanks. That's all I wanted to call you about,"

"Oh hey I have some good news for you too. Can I get your P.O. Box number? I need to send you something,"

"Sure, what is it?" I asked.

"You'll see," he said with a chuckle.

---------------------------------------------

It's Saturday and I called Mark yesterday. Marlee was over today and we were live streaming on Musical.ly. It was mainly our friends so we were acting really stupid.

"Comment down below dares you want us to do and we'll most likely do them," Marlee and I both laughed. Someone commented me to twerk. No one important was watching so I did it.

"Damn, babygirl!" Marlee shouted. I laughed so hard I fell over. I wasn't even trying hard. Lol.

"Avonlee," Marlee said with a serious tone.

"What?" I replied coming over to her. She was scrolling through the comments. In red it said, Duhitzmark joined. I almost threw up right then and there. Mark Thomas just saw me twerk.

"Umm sorry guys we have to go!" I said. I grabbed the phone and ended the broadcast.

"Avonlee what the heck!" Marlee exclaimed.

"Mark saw me twerk! I'm so done," I said as I face palmed. I grabbed a pillow and screamed "MY LIFE IS OVER!" Into it.

"Chill, Avonlee. He probably liked it," Marlee laughed as she hit me playfully.

"Not funny," my phone went off.

"No! No! I'll look at it!" I yelled. It was Mark. Great. It said: hey why did you end the broadcast?😉  I was replying and then he called me.

"Oh no. Excuse me for one second, Marlee," I went outside and sat on the steps.

"Hey," I said nervously.

"Hey, babe!" There he goes again. "Have you gotten my package?"

"Um no. I'm not home right now. I'm at Marlee's house,"

"Oh okay. Why did you end the broadcast?"

"Ummm," I got really nervous again. What if he doesn't like me and thinks that I'm a perverted freak?

"Avonlee, I didn't see you twerk,"

"You didn't? But how?"

"I joined right when Marlee commented on how good you were doing or whatever. So I didn't see you,"

"Oh thank god. I didn't want you to think of me as a freak or something,"

"Nah. I have to go. Talk later?"

"Yeah. Bye, Mark."

"Bye,"
