The beginning
Chapter 1
Marks POV
In all my seventeen years of life I’ve always felt different and peculiar no one took the time to try to get to know me or even understand me except my best friend Jonah. I met Jonah when I was twelve years old in middle school, I was having lunch by an oak tree near the cafeteria since I’ve never really felt comfortable around crowds..
“Hi there” said a boy that I’ve never really seen around school he must be new I thought, since nobody really tried talking to me before.
“Hi” came my little whisper, my heart was beating outside my rip-cage by now I’m surprised he couldn’t hear it.
“Mind if I join you? I saw you seating out here all alone and thought to join you I’ve always loved the outdoors you see” he said scratching the back of his head, he seemed really nervous and that was a first for me since I’m the one that’s always nervous around people.
“S-ure I me-an I’m not sure I’ll be g-o good company b-ut you can j-oin me” came out my nervous reply. God I hate it when I stutter makes feel beyond weak.
He gave me a small smile and sat beside me. He was handsome had blue eyes and blonde hair with a straight nose I could tell that girls were going to love him and he was going to be popular and forget all about me... I felt myself sigh and look into the lunch box my mom packed me...
“What do you have there?” He asked me
I told him I had corn dogs and diced fruit on the side. He seemed surprised I mentioned fruit, I just shrugged at him I love my fruit especially pineapple....
“Can I have a corn dog” he asked I stopped chewing and looked at him, he was smiling and I passed one to him ..my mom made the best I wouldn’t deprive him of that..
“Mhmmm” he looked like he was in heaven it was the cheese I thought.. My mother always used the best cheese..
“I can tell me and you are going to be best friends... Hey I didn’t even catch your name or tell you mine and I’m already eating your lunch how rude of me. My names Jonah I just moved here to New York from Oregon” he said smiling sheepishly at me..
“Mark” I said wearing a small smile too I’ve always wanted a friend besides my mother and today looked like that day..
“Your very pretty for a guy” he said I felt my cheeks heat up I could tell I’m red by now.. I always got that from from family members and strangers I guess that’s why I avoided crowds and people they would stare at me and it made feel uncomfortable and out of place..
“Uh-hm t-hank you I gu g-uess you must think it’s weird “ I said suddenly looking at the ground like it’s the most interesting thing
“Hey no I don’t think that it just makes you special “ he said and I felt my heart warm
Ever since that day me and Jonah were inseparable over the years he became popular of course and I was just a lil nerd at five-feet completely and utterly gay and he became that muscular guy and grew to be atleast six-two that made girls want to drops their panties as he walked by but he made sure I was always by his side and I was okay with that...
