An opportunity gained

Chapter 32

I stormed out of the room crying. 

I went into my room and Mark was sat there staring straight at me. 

"What?" I said blinking back the tears. 

"Do you and Sam always get into these arguments?" He said with a chuckle. 

"You're making us sound like a married couple!" I laughed back. 

"You certainly act like one sometimes" He just looked at me. "You don't know do you?" 

"Don't know what?" I looked at him blankly. 

"Isn't it obvious? The way she looks at you, talks to you and acts around you" What an Earth is he going on about? "Did you not see her when you first met?" 

"Nope" 

"She acted all giggly and weird around you" 

"And?..." I gave him yet another blank look. 

"SHE LIKES YOU!" He shouted at me. 

"And I like he too" I said back. He hit his hand on his head and laid back on the bed. "What's up with you?" 

"Wow you really don't get it, boys are clueless when it comes to love" 

"Love?" 

"Yes, LOVE! Let me say this slowly so your brain can absorb it. S A M I S I N L O V E W I T H Y O U" 

"What?" 

"Sam doesn't just like you, she LIKE LIKES you!" Oh my fucking God. 

"Is that why she's been acting weird about Eva?" 

"Yes you dumb shit" I jumped back a little because I've never heard Mark swear before. "When a girl likes a boy and he flirts with another girl she acts like a CRAZY woman!" 

"You're saying it as if you've been in that position before..." 

"Oh believe me, I have many times" He said laughing. 

"Is that why you're single?" He just looked at me. "Oh sorry man, I didn't mean it like that..." 

"I'm only joking dude!" He laughed again and patted me on the back. "Now that you've finally realised it we can now go to sleep" He said yawning and jumping into bed. 

I tossed and turned all night, thinking about what Mark had told me. She really likes me? Why didn't she just tell me? I don't understand why she's jealous about Eva though...Why are girls so confusing?!
