(Don't play song)
I run into the bathroom and into a stall. I puke up the bite of toast I had this morning. Suddenly, I hear footsteps and Mark comes into my stall.

Mark's POV

I walk into the bathroom stall he's in. When I get in there, it's a horrific scene. Jack is sitting there in a daze. He obviously threw up, though why, I have no idea. I help him off the ground and wash his face off. We sit on a bench in the hallway. "Jack, what's wrong? I saw that you threw up. And... " I paused, unsure of how much to say. "I saw some scars." I finally say. "I'm anorexic." He says with a crack in his voice. "That doesn't explain the scars!" I yell at him. I sea he's crying. "Look, Jack, i-" He stops me. "Enough! Don't you see what you're doing to me?" He whimpers. He walks off towards the opposite direction of our classroom and- wait, what? I do a double take. Yep, wrong way. I follow him, wanting to see where he went. I follow him all the way to (fucking victory town ;)) the classroom 4E. The music room. Suddenly I hear it. He's singing a song, one I recognize. It's called "Numb" By roomie. (Play song)


Whatever happened to childhood?
Whatever happened to dreams?
Whatever happened to memories?
Whatever happened to me?

I was supposed to be better
I was supposed to be true
But I, I sold out too

We said we'd make it together
We said we'd never give up
We gave each other forever
But then we had to grow up

We were supposed to be stronger
We were supposed to be true
But we, we gave up too

We all go numb
We all go numb
We all go numb

Distract ourselves
So we don't see
What we've become

We all go numb
We all go numb
We all go numb

You compromise all you believe in
Then you're numb, believe in nothing

Whatever happened to true love?
The kind you feel when you're young
When she was all you could think of
I guess those feelings are gone
My friends have started to settle
Guess they just want to be two
And I, I'll settle too
But I, I still want you

We all go numb
We all go numb
We all go Numb

Distract ourselves
So we don't see
What we've become

We all go numb
We all go numb
We all go numb

You compromise all you believe in
Then you're numb, believe in nothing

(P.S. in the story Jack's singing voice sounds like roomie's)
I go in to talk to him. "Wow Jack, you're really good! You should audition for the talent show!" I say. "Nah, I couldn't beat Tiffy." Ugh, Tiffy. Just hearing the name makes me wanna hurl. Tiffy is the "popular girl" Along with her boyfriend Red. "I'm. So. Fabulous!" We hear behind us, making is jump. We look and see it's Felix. "Jesus Christ!" Jack yells. "I gotta go. Bye!" He says. "Oh! And... Don't forget, Is breá liom tú."
