  Today was the day I go back to school. I'm nervous. What if tori beats me up? What if Dylan hates me?
  I put on a random flannel, a gray t-shirt, and some jeans, with some Black Nikes. I brush my teeth and put my hair in a messy ponytail. I put on foundation and mascara since I'm lazy af.
  I ate breakfast and packed my book bag. I walked to the bus stop with my head down. I saw Mark and he looked at me with a blank face. I see him walking over to me. "Are you okay?" Mark said. "Yeah, I'm fine." I lied. "Are you sure?" He asked. I nodded. I see Bryce and Vivianna walk over to us. "Hey Bailey can we talk to you?" Bryce said speaking for Vivianna and him. I nodded and walked over to my driveway.
  "Sooo?" Vivianna said. "Mark came over after I ran out of his house and he apologized. I forgave him. And yeah that's it." I said. "That's not all of it Bailey. I know it isn't." Bryce said. "He's dating tori." I said holding in my emotions.
  The bus came and the ride was pretty boring. I just sat on the seat and played on my phone. In a flash I was at school.
  I walked in with my head down. I walked to my locker to see that bitch tori. "Hey ugly slut!" Tori said. I Ignored her and opened my locker. "Don't ignore me!" She yelled. She punched my shoulder, scuffed and walked away. I didn't cry. I was angry with her.
  I turned away and saw Mark standing there, speechless. Tori walked up to him and they went off to class while she turned around and smirked at me. I shot her a dirty look and looked at my shoulder. Great. A giant blue and purple bruise. I walked to class. I saw Dylan, he smiled at me.

  Right now I'm sitting on the bus with Mark. I haven't said a word to him. It was so awkward. Soon enough we got off the bus and Mark said. "Come over at 4." I nodded. It was 2:30 right now. I walked in to the house and who do I see? LAURA. I ran up to her and gave her a big hug. "I've missed you so much!" I said. "I'm back and better!" Laura said. After the big hug I went up to my room to do homework.

I walked to marks house. I knocked and he answered. He had red puffy eyes. I could tell he was crying. "Oh god Mark what's wrong?" I asked worried. I took my hand and dragged me down to his room. We sat on the bed.
"I broke up with Tori." He said. I felt joy inside but also sorrow for Mark. "Why?" I asked trying to sound worried. "I saw what happened at your locker today. Are you okay?" Mark asked. I looked at my should and pulled my flannel up. "I'm fine, the question is are you okay?" I said. "Look I'm fine. I broke up with her because I still care about you. And the fact that she has hurt you physically makes me angry. I couldn't stand being with someone who hurts someone I love and care about. That's right Bailey I love you." Mark said. I was so happy I just gave him a big hug and said I love you. "So does this mean we're together again?" Mark said smiling. "I guess so." I said while leaning in for a kiss. Mark leaned in and BAM we kissed. I felt millions of fireworks explode In my stomach.
The rest of the night Mark and I hung out. I think I'm in love.
