The next week was one of the best for Mark. Jack and him hung out everyday and not just after school. Mark would eat lunch in the library with Jack. Mark had even figured out a way for him and Jack to talk without Jack actually having to speak. Mark would talk and Jack would write his response in a notebook.
They barely worked on the project when they hung out. They mostly made dick jokes and talked about video games. Mark loved scary games while Jack loved pretty games. They even played a few games together. They played on Mark's computer. They would play things like one finger death punch and undertale. They also played would you rather and will you press the button. They set up dumb challenges after a while. If one of them choose the unpopular option five times had to do something embarrassing. Jack ended up losing about three times. Mark made him do really stupid stuff. He covered his face in whipped cream. Another time he made Jack hang upside down for ten minutes then walk in a straight line. Jack ended up falling down six or seven times. Mark lost count because he was laughing so hard.
They had a few adventures in the library too. They had been working on the project during lunch, since they hadn't worked on it the previous night. Mark was focusing on the document when Jack tugged on his sleeve. He turned toward Jack, who looked freaked out.
"What's wrong?" Mark whispered. Jack pointed at one of the book cases across the library. Mark looked and saw the top of someone's head. They seemed to be hiding from him. He immediately recognized the hair. He motioned Jack to come closer. Jack leaned toward him. "Hang on a second," Mark whispered in his ear. Jack looked confused but he nodded. Mark got up and snuck over to the book shelf. He stayed just out of sight behind a corner. He heard his friends whispering to each other.
"Where'd he go?" Wade asked.
"I don't know. He's kinda a douche for leaving Jack all alone like that." Bob said. Mark smiled mischievously. He snuck up behind the two of them.
"I think the douchey thing is spying on your friends." Mark said. Bob and Wade both jumped and turned around. Wade smiled apologetically while Bob tried to act causal. "What are you guys doing?" Mark asked.
"We just wanted to make sure you and Jack are getting along." Wade said. Bob shushed him. Mark rolled his eyes.
"Me and Jack are getting along great, thank you very much." Mark said.
"Then why haven't you introduced us yet?" Bob asked angrily. Mark hadn't really thought about introducing Jack to Bob and Wade. He realized he'd been ignoring the two of them. He felt bad.
"He was shy you know...Why don't I introduce you right now." Mark offered. Bob looked alittle nervous while Wade mumbled something like 'I told you so'. They agreed and made they're way over to Jack. Jack looked at them, giving a questioning look to Mark. Mark smiled apologetically. "Hey Jack! I want you to meet my friends Bob and Wade!" He said. He hoped Jack wouldn't be angry. Jack looked both of them over then turned and wrote something down.
"Is he ignoring us?" Bob whispered.
"No he just doesn't like talking. Jeez Bob." Mark whispered back. Bob rolled his eyes at Mark. Mark just smiled back at him.
Jack turn back toward them handing Mark the note he wrote. Mark took it and read it aloud.
"Are these the dudes who took your phone and texted me? If so tell Bob he's pretty fucking funny!" He read. Mark smiled at his friends. Bob and Wade were shocked. Jack was smirking at them. Mark could tell he was proud of himself. Mark was pretty proud of him too. This was totally going to work out.
"Well thank you Jack. At least someone here appreciates my comedic genius." Bob said dramatically. Jack hide his smile behind his hand. Mark wished he didn't do that all the time. He liked Jack's smile.
The rest of the lunch was more of the same. They all made dick jokes and laughed. Jack still remained silent. Mark didn't mind. Even though he never talked, Mark loved hanging out with Jack. Jack seemed to like hanging out with him too.
Everything was going great. But then, Saturday happened.
