Mark POV 

I walked into art right behind Jack. Hearing him mumble something was a sign that he didn't like me. I sat down at a table far from him. "Hey! You must be the new kid!" I saw two men looking at me with smiled on their faces. "Yea, my name's mark." "Hi Mark! I'm dan and this is my boyfriend phil!" A grin spread across my face. "You two have balls. How did you announce yoursleves?" Dan smiled. "Well we just showed up one day holding hands and that seemed to be enough!" Phil smiled and I did to. "Can I say something just between us for now...?" They both nodded and I said " Well I came out over the summer..." Phil started to squeal. "Awesome! Dont worry there are A lot of people who are bi or gay here so don't worry about homophobes." As soon as I heard homophobes memories started coming. I flashed them a quick smile and saw our teacher walk in. She was short and had long blonde hair. She had a mint dress and and mint heels. "Hello everybody! My name is Ms.Hill and I am your teacher for art. This year we will dok basic and hard projects. Today lets start off with making your portfolio. Supplies if needed are by the santitizer." 

-Time Skip-

Jack POV 

I looked at my portfolio and thought it looked good. I made it green with Sam in the middle. I sat with two people I knew from years before. I sat by Bob and Felix, and they were chatting their heads off. I pulled out my phone to check the battery. And saw it was at 18%. Great. I need to text Carlisle to pick me up after school, because she goes to a different school that gets let out earlier than I do. I added a dark green around the edges of Sam and decided it looked good. I put my portfolio in a bin with the few others who were done. I sat down and heard the bell, so up I was again. I grabbed my binder and head to my other classes for the day. Yay school. Fun. More like hell but I'm not one to always criticize.

-time skip to lunch-

Mark POV 

I walked out of my classroom to head to lunch. I saw kamryn wave at me, so I head over next to her. "Hi Mark! Wanna sit with us at lunch?" I did but Jack was gonna be there. Ugh screw it. "Yea." We grabbed our other friends and head to the cafeteria. When we got to the food area I almost died. There. Is. So. Much. Food! I got in line and got pizza, a muffin, salad, an orange, and lemonade. I head over to my table when someone ran onto me. My lunch and I fell right on to the ground. "Hey punk! You just got my juice ALL OVER MY BRAND NEW SHIRT!" The guy lifted my stained shirt, tagging me along with it. The guy pushed me against a wall and kneed my stomach. I felt pain shoot through my body. Another blow. My vision was getting blurry when the guy dropped me. I fell like a sack of potatoes to the ground. I put my hands on my head and waited for another blow,  when I heard my attacker tell at someone. I looked up and saw Jack fighting the guy. "Leave him alone." The man complied and Jack looked down at me. He stuck a hand out and I grabbed it. Pain shot up through my body once more, and he helped me down to the nurse. "Y-you didn't have t-to do that." He said "did you wantt to be hit again?" I shook my head no and we kept walking. Well, I was more limping but oh well. We walked through the doors and I laid down on the bed. The nurse checked my stomach and said I have a fractured rib. "Thanks jack." And I kid you not, for the first time since I've met him, he flashed me a smile and said "your welcome."
