Mark's POV

It was lunchtime now. Hundred of students were sitting in the courtyard with their several of friends around them, laughing and having a good time. I looked over my shoulder to see a few people jamming out to some rock music.

I approached one of the several packed lines for food, of course the line I was in was extremely slow. The school had just hired a new cashier because the old one had stolen money from accounts. Wow is this school going downhill. 

I peeked around the jam packed commons to spot the one person I was happy to see. He had decided today he'd be rebellious and wear his skinny jeans which I had to admit, looked damn good on him. A couple of days ago I had broken down in front of him, I told him my biggest secret and I didn't even know who the hell he was. 

The next couple of moments escaped me as I caught  myself staring again, at the green haired boy that comforted me when I told him I was gay. My mind was clouded after that, moments, daydreams, meaningless images and ideas had all crept their way into my brain without me noticing.

After what seemed like an eternity, it's my turn to buy my lunch. I handed the lady my cash and grabbed my food. I made my way towards Jack, making sure none of my other friends were looking at me.

"Hey buddy." I said, setting down my food on the table and taking my seat.

"Hey. What's up?" A broad smile was plastered on his face. He was so adorable.

"Uh nothing much, I guess I wanted to hang out with the only friend I have left."

"Oh I see. Well where are they then?"

"Shut up you ass" I laughed at his joke only for a moment until my face started to feel hot.

"Dude, your face is almost the same color as your hair. What's up with you?" I was blushing like a madman. I knew know that there was something else than friendship in the silence that fell between us. At this point, all I wanted to do was hold him close again so I could feel his heart beat again."Mark?"

"Oh hey, I'm ok, I promise." He gave me a sideways glance, obviously not believing the bullshit I just told him. I was such a bad liar. I know I won't be able to keep this a secret for long so why not go for it.

I took a bite from my turkey sandwich not caring if it got on my face. "Uh Jack I, um I-I,"

"You have a crush on me?"He answered, not even looking up at me.

"How did you know?" I asked, shock becoming apparent as seconds go by. A redness formed on my cheeks again making me nervous.

"I have this thing and I swear I can predict the future." He said, a smirk on his face.

I looked at hi shocked. He still had that cute smirk on his face but now, he was looking at me. I found myself leaning towards him, like I was being drawn into a black hole in the depths of space. We were so close, I could feel his warm breath trickle on my neck. His hand was in mine and I could already see nothing but him. We were about to kiss when he pulled away.

"I'm sorry Mark, I can't. Not right now at least." Hurt was shown on my face as soon as he started to walk away with those damn skinny jeans that shaped him perfectly. Why couldn't he kiss me? Was he playing a game with me? What does he mean by 'not right now at least'? I hope I could find out these answers soon.

I had lost my appetite so I threw away the rest of it.

"Damn it Mark." A voice said from behind me.

A tall figure loomed behind me, casting a shadow on the ground next to me. I turned to see one of my old friends."Tyler?"

"You messed up my plan Mark."

"How the hell did I do that?"

"You didn't create proof that the new guy is bi."

"What are you talking about?" He chuckled to himself.

"You dumb ass, he's ruining our friendship. He did this to you didn't he? He put that stupid idea into your head. Your not gay, get over yourself." I turned around and started waking away from him.

"Fine! See if I give two fucks when you need me!"

Ok, too much just happened. I need to go and relax again. Why is it always my fault?
