Jacobs pov
I woke up and realized that I was going to hang out with Mark, I wasn't really sure as to why he decided to talk to me now so I feel like something was planned.

When a "popular" boy starts talking to one and caring about me, I'm just supposed to have no doubts?

I'm trying not to get close to him but he's just so nice right now and no one has been that way for a while. If I keep hanging out with him his friends will continue to beat me so I'm trying to not to be with him so much but I decided that I'll just hang out with him today cause I already said I was

Mark: hey, what time do you want me to come to your house?

Jacob: 30 mins, ok with u?

Mark: that's fine

I walked downstairs and I wasn't surprised to see a note saying that my mom was on a trip for a week

I grabbed a glass of water and walked back upstairs. I did my hair and got dressed and walked downstairs and waited for Mark

When the doorbell rang 10 minutes later I walked to it and opened the door to a smiling Mark

God damn that smile.

"Hey" he said

I nodded and opened the door more for him to walk in, he did and looked around, "where's your parents?"

"My moms on a business trip"

"And- oh"

I nodded thankful that he didn't say anything about my dad, "mine too" he said

"Okay, so want to go to a park?"

"Sure"

"Pretend we're little kids again"

"Cool" I said, he walked outside I locked the door a followed him to the park

We got there to see only 3 kids there with their parents, "I remember when I used to come here and there were so many kids here" he said

"Me too, it was fun. Being kid meant no worries"

"Yeah, wish that was back"

"Me too" I said

We walked over to a little kid that was trying to get on a swing, Mark bent down to his size "want help bud?" He nodded and Mark picked him up and put him in the swing

He was about to walk away when the kid grabbed his hand, "can you push me please?" The kid asked

Mark smiled and nodded, he pushed the kid for a while until he didn't need it anymore

"Thank you" the kids mom said walking over

"It was fine" Mark smiled nodded

We walked over to a picnic table and he sat across from me

"Your good with kids" I said

"Thanks, I never really was able to have fun as a kid, my mom was always busy fighting for me against my dad and other stuff"

"Me too"

"Huh, guess we have more similarities than I thought"

"I guess so"

"Hey Mark can I ask you a question?"

"Sure"

"Why did you start talking me out of no where? What are you up too"

"I already told you, it looked like you needed a friend"

"Yeah I know, but why now? Why not last year or last month?"

He paused for a moment trying to come up with a answer

"That's what I thought" I said getting up and walking away

He came after me and grabbed my arm, "I started talking to you now because I finally worked up the courage to"

"What do you mean?" I asked turning around a facing him

"I mean that I never thought that you would really talk to me"

"So you were scared to talk to me"

"Something like that"

"That's bullshit" I said, turning around and leaving

"JACOB WAIT"
