Jack's POV
The three-day weekend went by fast. I didn't leave my room, answer my phone, or even respond to my worried mother. I was already on my way to school. Another overly huge sweater and matching pair of jean. I was wearing sun glasses to cover up that I had been crying all weekend.
"Jack! Hey!" Hollie's voice sang as she walked over to me. "I have been trying to text you and Mark all weekend..." I cringe at his name. "Neither of you answered and I was worried. Is everything okay?" I nod and give her a convincing fake smile. "Well then text me next time you goof!" She playfully punches my arm and walks away.
I was making my way to my locker when he came up to me. "Hey there Jackaboy." His Irish accent thicker than mine made me cringe. "W-What do you want Daithi?" He smirks and hooks his index finger under my chin and uses his thumb to take the top of my chin. "You." I try pushing him away but he snakes his arm around my waist. "Listen Sean, I know what I did was wrong. I shouldn't have forced you to do things you didn't want. I genuinely feel terrible about all of it. I ask that you let me take you out for a walk around the town."
I considered it. I can't believe I considered it. "Daithi-" Felix came up behind me and pulled me back. "Stay away from him Daithi. Jack doesn't want you back in his life." Daithi looked like he was hurt, like genuine sadness. "Felix wait, maybe I should give him a second chance. To be truthful even after I ended things. I still loved him."
Felix scoffed and looked like he could puke. "Jack are you serious? After everything he did to you. What about your months of therapy? What about Mark?" That's what made me finalize my decision. "Felix, I know you want to protect me, but I can handle myself. Just go cheat on Marzia with Mark again."
Felix glared at Daithi. "I didn't kiss him! He kissed me and he didn't mean it!" I sigh and grab Daithi. I pull him out of the school and off campus. Just before we could get far away from the school people screamed at me not to go with him.
"Y-You're giving me a second chance?" I nod and pull him to the park nearby. "Yes, but it's only one chance. If you screw up once then we're done." He nods and pulls me into a long tight hug. "Thank you Sean, I promise to make this up to you."
I have to admit his smile was adorable. It made me forget about everything he did to me. But then I had to remember the plan.
"Daithi just be careful. Felix is gonna be freaking out over the littlest thing." He just nodded.
--------------------
The date went just as I hopped. He took the bait. I did feel bad because things seemed sincere. I knew I couldn't face Mark by myself and I still didn't "get back" at Daithi. He deserves this, right?
This isn't gonna end well. I want to feel bad for what I was doing but I couldn't. I had to explain this to Fe. He'll be proud, I know that.
Daithi and I parted ways and as soon as he was out of sight, I sprinted to Felix's house.

Felix's POV
I can't believe this. Jack was so much smarter than this. He had to know that Daithi was planning something, right?
I was in my bed studying when I heard my dad call me down. "Felix we have a guest!"
I was filled with confusion. It could be anyone. As I walked down the creaky steps I turned around. "Go away Sean."
"Felix you don't understand. I need to talk to you."
"No Sean, or should I say slut, you can't seem to go one moment without "falling" for someone. You are nothing but an asshole when you don't get things your way." The words spewed out of my mouth. I knew I would regret everything tomorrow, but now there is no stopping me.
"Felix that is no way to speak to Jack! You two have been best friends ever since birth!" My dad glared at me. Jack only sighs. "You're wrong. I only did that for revenge. But if that is the way you feel, fine."
