He got up and rubbed the back of his head. "Mack? Justin? What the?"
"Dad..." I said the word like it wasn't something I used often. The word rolled off my tongue strangely.
Justin just stared and he seemed to have zoned out.
I stood up and walked to the kitchen, we had some food left over so I got some for them. "Here, have a drink and a snack." I set everything on the table and my dad came to get some water, but Justin sat there, like he didn't know what was going on.
I started squeezing my hair with my hands, tightening my ponytail, and looking around. My dad must've noticed because then he turned to me and put his hand on my shoulder, which is something very strange for me.
"Mack? Are you okay? you're doing your...." he pointed at my hair. "stuff....."
"I'm.... fine....."
Justin finally snapped out of his trance. "What? oh sorry guys, just.... had stuff on my mind.... you know, doing the.... well.... um.... Mack you know right?"
I knew exactly what he had been doing. He was praying, talking to God. I had become a Christian, and introduced him to Christ a few years back, but he didn't like it when we talked about it, so I never bothered him about it. "yes, I know."
"Mack, you should get your rest, school tomorrow." He pointed at the clock, and I knew he was right.
"Kay." I ran upstairs, got ready for bed and fell asleep.

*Beep Beep Beep*
"Argh, I'm up, I'm up" I hit my alarm clock's off button. I got out of bed and took a shower, I did my hair and got ready from school. *beeeeeeeep* It was my phone. I picked it up, I had a message from Zac. 'Hey, Mack, meet me in the courtyard okay???????' I looked the message over and replied. 'Sure, might be a little late.' he immediately replied. 'okay, but I kinda wanna....' there were just dots. 'wanna what?' I replied. 'nvm' He said. 'okay Zac, I'll meet you there, bye now.' and I left. I went down stairs and I saw Justin getting ready. "Oh you're up already, that's so very new." I snort-laughed and he laughed a little. "Yea, I wanna take you to school." I was surprised. "really?"
He looked at me and then at the table, and I realized my dad was still there. "Oh yea, go ahead Justin. Thanks." I got my lunch and got my shoes on. "Let's go, I have to... uh... never mind." He looked at me and so did my dad. "What MK?" Justin asked, I looked at him. "I have to do something." He looked at me and then to his hands then back to me. "What is it?!?" I rolled my eyes a little. "Meet someone." He looked at me and came up to me. "Who might this 'someone' be?" I sighed and looked up, I knew there was no escaping. "A boy." Justin looked up at the ceiling. "Who is this boy?" I just looked at him and finally I answered. "Zac, there happy?" He rubbed his hand and then he looked at me. "Now I'm satisfied." He let me put my shoes on properly and he got in his car and we drove to school.
"MK, why does this boy want to meet you?" Justin asked me. "He just wants to talk to me, he said seemed to really want me to." I looked up from my phone. "Okay fine." He looked at me and back at the road. "Don't you dare-" I interrupted him. "I know, I know." I looked back at my phone and there was a message from Zac. 'Are you gonna be long MK?" I looked up quickly and back down. 'No, on my way Zac, calm down' I replied. Then Justin must've noticed and he snatched my phone away. "Oh...." He read it over while driving. "Really?!?" I took it back. "Yes. You should be looking at the road." He nodded. "I know"
Finally I got to school.
