The school of strange

Chapter 17

Jack sat up on the hospital bed, Felix and mark sat on two chairs around him. They both waited patiently for jack to start talking.
"So four months ago when marzia whent missing after the kyle incident,  I started searching around in the woods for some stuff that maybe the police missed . And I found some paw prints leading all around the wood, whatever it was that made those prints seemed lost almost."
"What do you mean lost ?" Mark asked,  clearly more interested than he let on.
"Well normal animal prints go from home to hunting back to home , but this animal never went to any pray and when I traced them back to the beginning,  their was no home of any kind.

So I kept looking , I checked in with marzias parents to see if they knew anything but they said they hadn't seen her either. I asked them if I could use their shed to research some stuff and find out more about marzia."

Felix looked at jack and nodded. "And my sister?"

"She saw me walking down the street at night a few weeks ago and followed me here. She found out what I was doing and wanted to help and I agreed if she promised not to tell you."

Jack sat back in his bed and looked almost out of breath. Felix looked tired and mark was staring?  He was staring into jacks eyes.

"Well I'm going to get a coffee, either of you want one?" Felix asked standing up.

"Yeh I'll have the usual?" Jack said smiling .
"Are you sure you're allowed three shots of espresso, whipped cream, chocolate sause and sprinkles whilst in a hospital bed?" Felix laughed.
"Hey, they have those machines for a reson." They both chuckled and felix turned to mark. "Mark , do you want to one?"
Mark nodded and stopped laughing "um yeh , black please."

"Alright, be back in a bit." Felix said opening the door. When Mark looked at jack he seemed, flustered  almost as if mark had kissed him and outed himself.....except, that's exactly what he did. " So uh , your gay to." Jack chuckled.

"would seem so wouldn't it, especially as I told you this  other three hours ago ." Mark laughed and scratched the back of his neck and had a very interesting staring contest with the floor....the floor won. "Listen I'm sorry for kissing you earlier. I just thought you were cute and i know we don't really know each other but..."

"y-you think I'm cute?" Jack smiled.

"Well yeh who wouldn't think that?"

"I could think of a few people." Jack mumbled.

"Why would you think that?" Mark asked.

"Fuck you heard that? well um , just some people who may have some weird fetish or something who think that all humans disgust them and shit like that...yeh..that's who?" Jack questioned his sanity half way through his last word and began to rethink his whole existence.... until mark started laughing.

"see this is what I'm talking about, your funny, smart kind and most defiantly cute." Mark smiled and looked into Jacks eyes. Mark thought they looked like an endless ocean of blue, mark started leaning closer to Jack. And just as their lips were about to connect...

"I'm back with the coffffffffeeee......"

Is what he wished Felix had said as he walked into the room, but instead..

SLAP!

"hey what was that for!?" Mark squealed as he clutched his burning cheek.

"S-sorry , trust issues..."

And now Felix enters "I'm back with coffffeeeeee....what, happened to you guys." Felix looked between mark and jack, to mark , and back to jack.

"Why does marks cheek have a hand print on it and why does jack look guilty.....waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttt...... Did Mark try to kiss you?"

Jack nodded looking guilty and not surprised......on the other hand.

"HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD AT THIS!"

"Good at what?" Felix tilted his head at mark.

" First its the gay thing , then the question thing and now this !!"

Jack laughed slightly as Mark looked extremely confused, (he was mainly laughing at the gigantic handprint on his left cheek...what ?  sometimes his own strength amuses Jack)

"A magician never revels his secrets." Felix said proudly

"When dynamo tried to walk on water he was actually just walking on a bunch of creates. so technically magicians do reveal their secrets....very stupid magicians."

"Are you calling me stupid?" Felix looked at jack offended.

"Yes, yes I am."
