Hey, sorry I haven't updated in 84 years, school, writer's block, and getting grounded got in the way. But I'm back and I don't plan to leave anytime soon :))

We were outside when the bell rang. Me, Amy, Wade, Bob, Ken, Molly, Mandy, Mary, and Marzia that is. Sean, Mark, and Felix were still inside dealing with that huge line. The boys were talking while the girls and I sat down underneath a tree. I was on the brink of tears. I was trying to hold it together, but I just couldn't. I started bawling my eyes out. I couldn't handle the thought of Sean being happy with another person and me just watching him, the person I loved, being loved by another. They saw me crying and knew exactly why.
"Aww, Signe! It's okay, Sean goes through this every year. He never finds anyone he actually likes in those lines! He's better than that." Amy reassured me. I appreciated her words, but it didn't help.
"But w-what i-if he actually f-finds someone this year?" I asked. She looked down, for she didn't have an answer I'd want to hear.
"Jack and Mark just stay home during these dances. All the time. Felix and I try it get them to go, but they just stay home and play video games, basketball, or just hang out," Marzia said.
"R-Really?" I asked full of hope.
"Yeah. No matter how long the line is, they always stay home. Always." Mandy said. I had a joyous look on my face and saw Mark, Sean, and Felix come out.
"Heyyy guyys!" Mark said extremely tired.
"We are definitely staying home again Mark," Sean exclaimed.
"Definitely," Mark agreed.
"Oh no, here they come!" Felix warned.
"Dear Jesus! Hide us!" Sean and Mark jumped behind Bob and Wade but the girls saw them.
"Hi boyys!" they said snobbishly. There was a bleach blonde one and one who's hair was black as night. They looked at Amy and I and kicked dirt at us! We threw a handful of dirt at their skirts and they had the most disgusted looks on their faces.
"Do you have a problem with us? These skirts cost $150! You bitches." the blonde one said. Amy was gonna snap back with something extremely rude, but Mark and Sean intervened.
"Okay, I think that's enough.." Sean said.
"Look, Amy and Signe are sorry about your nice skirts," Mark gestured towards them, "and they are sorry for calling you guys bitches," Mark gestured towards us. Those girls walked away and the bell rang. We all made it to our classes and soon the day ended. Amy and I walked out of class and we ran into those girls.
"move.." I told them quietly.
"What did you say? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you." the black haired one said.
"My friend told you to move!" Amy told them loudly.
"Okay, you two, need to back off!" They both said.
"Back off? From what? From who? We've never done anything to you guys!" Amy argued.
"Oh really? 'Hanging out' with Jack and Mark? We see the way you guys look at them." the blonde one told us.
"You think no one notices but like the whole school knows!" The black haired one said.
"Yeah, so back the fuck off." Blondie warned us.
"Do you really think they like you?" the other one asked.
"When we asked them to the dance, they said that they'd love to go with us." I went pale. They said that? Sean said that?
"Is that so? Did you two see how long that line was? You seriously think that you two are the only ones they've said that to?"
"Ugh, you two are just jealous that the most popular guys in school will never see you as more than a follower and will see us as their soulmates." they walked off. I tried to shake off their words, but I couldn't. I started tearing up. 'You're so delusional. Thinking that he'd really like you as more than just a friend.' I thought to myself. Amy saw me.
"Signe, l-let's go. We can go to my house, have some food. Would you like that?" Amy asked me.
"I'd love that Amy." We walked to her house and I texted my mum.
Signe: hey mum, I'm gonna go to Amy's house k?
Mummy: Okay hun, have fun xx :)
Signe: thanks mum x

We arrived at Amy's house and entered. I said hi to her mom and we went into her room. She locked the door as soon as we got in.
"What was that for?" I asked.
"We are going to get to the bottom of this conundrum, and if we're gonna do that, no one can hear us," She answered.
"What conundrum?"
"The conundrum of Sack."
"What the hell is Sack?"
"You know.. Sack!" my mind and face were drawing blanks, "You and Jack!"
"OH! I don't like that name."
"Fine. What do you want?"
"Hmmm, what about our gamer tags?"
"Hmmm, septishu... I like it! So let's get to the bottom of septishu." Amy said excitedly.
"Who would know the most about who Jack likes?" I asked.
"Mark and Felix."
"Who else, because they don't know anything."
"Well, Jack, Mark, Felix, and Ken all have this Internet friend they talk to all the time."
"What's his name?"
"Well,we just call him by his tag. Cryaotic. Or Cry for short. He doesn't show his face or his name."
"Well let's text this Cry and see what he knows." Amy logged onto her computer and went on skype. Cry was online.
Amy: hey cry!
Cry: Sup Amy
Amy: im good, but I need to know something.
Cry: shoot
Amy: okay, just promise not to tell anyone else abt this convo
Cry: ok?
Amy: do you know who Jack likes?
Cry: why do wanna know that?
Amy: reasons
Cry: creepy, but ok. just don't tell anyone. he hasn't told anyone. not even mark.
Amy: wow, okay. I promise
Cry: okay, I know he likes this new girl. she came this year, and he likes her. don't remember her name, but it starts with an S. it's a really foreign name. kinda sounds danish.
Amy: OMIGOD, I GOTTA GO, THX, BYE
Cry: oookay? you're welcome
"DO YOU SEE THAT SIGNE!?!?"
"I DO!!"
"HOLY-"
"SHIT!"

OoOOoO new perspective! Sean's! Mark, Sean, and Felix are at Mark's house right now. Sean on his phone and Felix on the computer.

"Come on.. Come on.. COME ON.... NO!" Mark screamed out of frustration. He was playing a level of Mario Maker his friend Ross made.
"You should really stop Mark. You're gonna burst a vein!" I warned him.
"Or an artery." Felix added.
"ROSS PROMISED ME 50 BUCKS IF I COULD DO IT!" Mark argued. He went back to try it again, but once again failed, "GOD DAMN IT ROSS!"
"I have a bet for you. Finish the level and go without cursing and I'll give you 50." I proposed.
"Game on!" we shook on it.
"Plus Jack has to tell us who he likes." Felix added.
"Ohhhhh yeahhh!" Mark got excited.
"Ohhhhh noo. I didn't agree to that." I said in major disdain.
"Fine, deal's off." Mark threatened.
"Fine with me. I don't lose 50 bucks." I looked back at my phone.
"Come on... PLEASE??" Felix asked.
"Pleeeaase??" Mark begged.
"No." I said without batting an eye.
"Fine, we're gonna have to resort to Plan B." Felix looked at Mark slyly.
"What's Plan B.." I asked cautiously.
"Yeah, what is Plan B?" Mark asked confused. Felix rolled his eyes and whispered something in Mark's ears, "Oh.. OH!" Mark's expression turned from confused to mischievous. They were slowly coming towards me and I was slowly backing out of the room.
"What the fuck are you guys doing??" I asked worriedly.
"You'd better start running.."

Okay, Chapter IV, DONE! I have a lot planned for the following chapter, so stay tuned! (Sneak peak: the Grumps will be involved ;)) Also, I might want to do an Antisepticeye x Reader after this story, but I don't know if I should. Should I? Anyways, I hoped you enjoyed! Buh-Bye!
