Long Lost Brothers

*Seán*

I wake up at 7:50 knowing that I have to face Felix today, and I shivered. Felix hates people, especially me, but I've always wanted to get a glimpse inside his head to know what he is thinking.
I'm at school, and there is a massive cluster of people, but I'm not bothered much about it, so I walk away, I'm such a loner and maybe I should try harder..?
Why would anyone want to be friends with me or anything-
"Pussy Caaaaaat!" said a certain thought interuptor, yeah you guessed it, Felix.
He walked over to me and started shouting in my face for no apparent reason. Then he stopped. What was stopping him? I looked up to see a buff guy get Felix by the shirt and shove him against a wall. Sweet Justice. But I still had so much questions- main one- who was this guy??!!

I got into class and sat down next to my empty seat, only to find an answer to my question when the buff guy sat down next to me. I was shocked, I was so used to sitting alone. Wow.
"Hi, I'm Mark!" said Buffo, I was surprised at his deep voice, but was very soothing. "Uh, I'm Sean" I said with uncertainty that he was gonna stick with me, I had no doubt he was gonna go with Felix and his bunch of cronies, but he didn't, he sat there smiling at me. I felt warm inside for the first time since Sammy.

"Mark and Seán, please pair up!" said Mrs Gelling *science teacher* and we were shocked.
"So, yeah, how do you want to do it?" said Mark, and he looked at me with a smile, saying "I'm really glad we got paired up, mainly because you 're the only person that I know here" and I laughed. You are my only friend here.

We started on our project, but didn't finish it, so we had to finish it at home.
"Uh, how about your house?" Mark asked me.
"No- not really a good idea" I mumbled. "Okay, my house then, my mom will be glad that I have friends already"
My mum doesn't even care.
"So today, at 5pm" Mark's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Sure! See you" I said back.
I have a friend...

I got back to my house , but I stopped outside the door with my hand containing my key was in mid-action. I don't have to go home. Ever.
I saw the forest, that was next to my house. "Huh, never saw you there before!" I muttered in mock surprise, and I went on my way towards the great expanse of dark, awaiting trees.
It was gorgeous, absolutely amazing-
Oh no
I didn't get Mark's number.
How am I meant to contact him without his number, and what time is it
Oh no, it's 4:52 pm
Sugar Honey Iced Tea!
Wait, I'll just go to the park, he gets the school bus to the park, so that's where I'll go! It's a chance.

Luck.
That is all I can call it.
I just saw him go through his door, that's all I got, and I think that it is called pure fate.
"Mark!" I yelled, hoping he heard my call. He didn't, so instead, I ran to the door he disappeared into and I knocked on the door, only to get a "J-just a minute.."
"It's me, Seán!" I called.
"Oh, hey, Seán!" Mark said, surprised, and he invited me in.

His house was filled with cardboard boxes, he was obviously still unpacking from the move, but his house was gorgeous, It was surprisingly big aswell, it's weird to know that his house has been here this whole time and I haven't noticed it yet.
"So, um, do you want to go get some ice cream?" and I said yes.
