**Jack's POV**

Mark sat on my bed, texting, as I edited one of my videos. It was Friday, so we weren't really in the mood to study our scene. The past few days, Mark and I had worked a lot on our scene, while getting to know each other more. We had talked about YouTube, and he had even helped me edit one of my last videos.

"What game are you editing?" Mark yawned, stretching his short, strong limbs, as he laid back on my bed.

"A Happy Wheels video," I mumbled, focused on my work in front of me. I shifted my black framed glasses, humming in concentration.

Mark sat up, and walked over to me, wrapping his arms around my shoulders. I tensed for a second, my breath always escaping whenever he touched me, but instantly relaxed against his warm hold.

"Can I help?" he asked, in a corky tone.

"Shouldn't you be at home, editing your own videos?" I asked, my sassy tone making Mark chuckled.

"Already did. Come on, let me help," Mark whined, resting his chin on my shoulder.

"I don't need help."

"I know you don't, but you're so stressed. Take a nap, and let me finish editing," Mark whispered, massaging my shoulder.

"I don't need your help!" I snapped, smacking his hand away.

Mark sighed, and walked back over to my bed. "You know, I really like your Happy Wheels videos. You're adorable, when you rage out."

My cheeks burned, and I couldn't help but smile. "Thank you," I whispered, running my fingers through my bright hair.

I looked over at Mark, who simply smiled, and laid back on my bed. It was so odd to have him here. Just a week ago, Mark had just been a fairytale in my mind. I never thought an actual friendship with him would be possible. He was a senior, who paid little mind to the new kid. He was best friends with the cruelest kid in school. He was a jock. He was hot. Never would I think that the same boy I absolutely fell head over heels for, would ever be lying on my bed.

"What are you thinking about?" Mark asked, causing me to jump.

"Nothing!" I gasped, and went back to work.

Mark chuckled, and curled himself in my blankets. I stared, mesmerized by his beauty, his bright, red hair making my heart flutter. He dyed it because of me. He knew I'd love it.

"Thank you," I said, as I played through my video.

"For what?" Mark hummed, staring up at his bright phone screen.

Happy with my edited product, I saved the file, then rolled over to the side of my bed. Mark looked over at me, brown eyes sparkling with a happiness. No, not happiness. What emotion is that?

"Thank you for helping me make videos. Thank you for encouraging me..." I chuckled, feeling my cheeks burn. "Thank you for being my friend."

Mark smiled, and sat up, wrapping his arms tightly around me. I yelped in surprise, but quickly hugged him back, desperate for every second of his touch.

"You're my favorite youtuber," Mark whispered, still hugged me tight.

I smiled, and nestled my forehead into the nook of his neck, and whispered, "You have always been my favorite."

I know, I know, the chapter is really short, but I just wanted a cute little segment in before I continued on with the bigger picture of the story. Will update a better gif tomorrow, and hopefully a longer chapter, too. Love you all!
Xoxo, not-so-gossipy-girl --I'm really tired *~*
