Mark's POV

School's out. I'm walking over to Mackenzie's locker. I'm going to ask her out. I can't keep my feeling hidden any longer. I've liked her since like 5th grade and I've always only been a friend. I have to do it now or never. We're in highschool, she's going to get a boyfriend sooner or later. She is the prettiest girl in our grade and there are a ton of guys that like her, most of them being popular kids. I finally get to her locker, but she's not there. I decide that i'll wait a bit.

Mackenzie's POV

I had to finish a test in 8th period so i didn't start walking to my locker until like 10 minutes after school. I walk over there and see Mark. I'm by myself, everybody's probably on the bus to dance. I walk up to him. "Hey Mark, what's up?" I say opening my locker.

"Hi, um. Mackenzie i, um..." Why is he so nervous to tell me something. He's never this nervous. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He finally gets out. I don't know what to say. I've only ever viewed him as a friend. Ever since we we're little. I don't want to date him, but i don't want our friendship to be ruined. If we date, we're going to break up. And anyways I think I like Johnny.

"I don't know what to say."

"Say what you feel."

I don't like him, i never have, and probably never will. "Listen Mark, you're a great friend and all, but i've never viewed you as a possible boyfriend." I start putting my books in my locker and grabbing my math binder for homework.

"So it's a no."

"Sorry, i just don't like you like that."

"No, it's ok. Totally ok. I'll just go. Tell them, i'm not going to be at dance today."

"You can still come to dance."

"No, i'm not going to today." He says walking away sadly. I feel so bad. I didn't want this to happen. I want us to still be friends, i don't want us to grow apart after 10 years. This is all upsetting.

I walk to the dance bus and get on. "Mark's not coming today." I tell the bus driver. He knows all of our names and knows who's not there yet.

"Ok," he says closing the bus doors as I walk to my friends and sit next to Chloe.

"What's wrong, you seem upset." Chloe says.

"I feel like I just ruined my friendship with Mark." I put my headphones in, play some music and then go on instagram. I don't want to answer anybody's questions right now. Not on this bus where all my friends and my sister and her friends are.

After Dance

Johnny's POV

Mackenzie was so happy at school and now after school she's upset. I heard her say that she thinks she ruined her friendship with Mark and that's probably why he's not at dance. She didn't talk to anyone at dance. She stayed silent. I know that her and Mark have been friends for like 10 years, so any reason their friendship is over would be upsetting. I'm kind of worried for Mackenzie. As people have told me, she's never been this upset where she doesn't talk. She usually a very talkative person. Even at dance she wasn't in it. She wasn't dancing like usual. She looked tired in her dancing.

A/N

Sorry for the short chapter.

I have some bad news, but it's good for me. My school is having a writing competition where you write a novel in 30 days. The whole month of February i might not be able to update. There is a chance that I will update , but not likely. I'll be back in March so i hope you understand that this is a huge opportunity for me. I could get a book that I write published which is something i've always wanted.
