ours. I went in and sat at a desk. There was a seat empty next to me. I look up to see Mark leaving on the table.

“Is this seat taken?” he asked politely.

I felt my cheeks go red. Oh no, I was blushing…

“Uh, no it’s not.” I smiled.

He sat down. Grabbing out a book.

 

Lunch time.

 

Me, Abby, Mark sat at a table. We were joined by Kerry, Jane, Kyle and Vern. These were my best friends.

“Guys this is Mark and Abby.” I smiled.

Each said hello to each other. I noticed Mark got along well with the boys. They even told him to try out for the Basketball team. I was surprised as this didn’t happen often! I began talking with the girls.

“Well we all know who will be captain again this year.” Kerry winked to me.

“We don’t know that!” I rolled my eyes.

I was caption last year. We went to regionals but didn’t make it to nationals. We are confident this year, but we’re 2 people down.

“Abby do you cheer?” Jane questioned.

“Yes, but I’m a bit rusty. Our squad got cut last year so I haven’t cheered in just over a year.” Abby frowned.

Jane looked horrified. She was a cheer lover. Also my best performer.

Jane was very skinny, but ate all the time. She was an amazing dance. She had long blonde hair with grey/blue eyes. Kerry was short, but like me and Jane she was skinny. She had bright red hair (she dies it on a monthly basis.) with green eyes. She also had her nose pierced.

“Abby, you should try out for our team” I practically yelled.

She blushed and nodded.

*buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*

The bell rang.

We headed off to class. We had English all of us girls and the boys. We got assigned to a group task to make your own country. The teacher called out the groups. I was with Mark and Kyle. This will be interesting.

“What should we call our country?” Kyle asked getting ready to write it down.

We talked the entire lesson just about the name of the country. In the end we decided on combining our names into the name.

“Ky-Sa-Rk?” Kyle muttered.

“Kysark. Perfect!” Mark smiled.

*End of the day.*

 

I waited by the gates for Abby and Mark. I turned around and zipped up my bag before turning back, I only seen Kyle.

“Hey! Abby has left early, Mum took her shopping.” Kyle smiled pointing to get into the car.

We got in and I buckled up.

“So, Kyle said it’s your birthday next week?” He asked softly.

“Yep. I’m thinking of a movie night. Your welcome to come?” I smiled.

“Wouldn’t miss it.” He smirked.

The ride home felt short. He pulled up in my drive way. I sat for a sec before turning to him.

“Wanna hang out for a bit?” I asked.

Oh god. I didn’t think before asking…

“That’d be cool, sure.” He smiled looking at me.

We headed inside. I placed my bag on the table and heard a bark.

“ALIA?” I yelled.

She bolted down the hall way and jumped on me. She seemed so happy to have me home.

“This is my dog Alia. She likes cuddles.” I smiled turning to Mark.

He was already leaning down to pat her, she was all over him. Which was strange as it takes her a bit to warm up to people. But she was so content with him. I couldn’t help but blush a little.

“Are you blushing?” Mark smiled widely.

I snapped back to reality, he continued to look at me waiting my response. I’m so embarrassed.

“Oh, ugh, no…” I mumbled.

He grinned and stood back up. He gestured to the lounge room. I walked in with him, we sat on the couch, fairly close. My heart was racing. What the hell? This never happens!

“So, movie?” he smiled looking at me.

I nodded and looked on the coffee table and picked up the DVDS that were on it.

“Well we got… Fast and Furious, Spiderman or Iron man? The other movies are in my room.” I asked.

“Hmm, what other movies ya got?” he asked.

I shrugged my shoulders.

“We’d have to go look.” I replied.

“That’s okay.” He stood up,

I got up and walked up stairs with him. We went into my room. My room was painted blue, with a brown on suite. I had a queen size bed with a large desk next to it. I sat on the bed and pointed to the long shelf on my desk.

“They’re all there.” I smiled.

I had a lot of movies, about 200 within that one shelf. He sat in the chair and scrolled through. He grabbed one out and read the back.

“Let’s watch this.”

He passed me the movie. He chose Ride Along. I loved this movie, I’ve watched it easily 100 times.

“Could watch it in here?” we spoke at the same time.

I got butterflies, I saw a smile on his face. He looked away from me then slowly made eye contact.

“Ugh, sure.” I blushed.

He gave a smile and sat beside me on the bed. I went over and put the movie on and sat back beside him. The movie began to play.
After about half an hour I looked over to Mark, he was really into the movie. He must have felt me looking at him and he made eye contact.

“Want a drink or anything to eat?” I asked softly. I swear I sounded like a fly.

“Yea I could go for a drink, just water.” He replied smiling.

Ahhh that smile melts me.

I got up and gave a nod. I headed downstairs to the kitchen. Alia was laying in her bed. I heard whistling behind me, it was my Dad, he has a habit of whistling a lot.

“AH Sarah! How was school darling? Also Angela called again. Wanting to speak to you. I told her you were at a friend’s.” He spoke with a happy tune.

Angela is my Mother’s name. She hasn’t called in a while. Normally when she does she’s drunk.

“It was really good. Same old same old. What’d she want now?” I said, emphasising the word she.

Dad gave a shrug then grabbed and apple to eat. I poured to glasses of water.

“Also, Marks over. We’re watching a movie. Is that alright?” I asked nervously.
“I’m fine with that sweetie.” He said walking away. Phewww.

Mark’s P.O.V

 

I looked over to see Sarah walking back in. She held two glasses of water and had one held out for me. I grabbed it and pretty much skulled it. She was sitting back next to me. God she was hot. I could see her slowly falling asleep. I continued to watch the movie. When it finished I looked over to see Sarah asleep. I grabbed the blanket at the end of the bed and put it over her. I turned the TV off and headed downstairs.

“Oh hello Mark, enjoy the movie?” Amex called from the kitchen.

I ducked around into the kitchen and sat at the table where Alex was.

“Yeah it was good, Sarah fell asleep so I put a blanket over her.” I smiled.

He gave me a wide smile. Gave a nod and looked over Alia.

“I’m needing a favour from you Mark. Me and your father go for a weeklong conference after her birthday. Any chance you could stay here and watch her? I don’t want Angela anywhere near Sarah. She’s already cause to much headaches.” He said concerned.

“That’s fine, more than happy to help. Who’s Angela if you don’t mind me asking?” I asked slowly.

“She’s Sarah’s mother. Not a good person at all. If she finds out I’m not here she’ll come here to get Sarah. I don’t want that and if you’re here, I don’t think she’ll come. I’ve already talked to your parents. They’re fine with it. “He replied while reading the newspaper in front of him.

“It’s no hassles. Sarah is an amazing girl. I’m glad she’s living with you Mr. Scott.” I smiled.

“Call me Alex. I’m thrilled to have her, she’s my baby girl.” He sighed happily.

We talked a little longer before I left to go home. When I arrived home I seen that Mum and Dad were sitting on the porch having a laugh.

“Mark! How was school?” Mum asked excited.

“It was really good!” I replied.

“Abby is inside. We got you some clothes and new pair of, kicks, as you call them.” Mum smirked before getting up and giving me a hug.

“Thanks mum. I appreciate it.” I smiled kissing her cheek.

We all headed inside. Abby was in her room playing some Nikii Minaj crap. I headed up to my room. I walked over to my bed. It was a queen size with a wooden frame. Green covers. Well my room was green. I love green. I looked through the shopping bags on my bed. Mum got me heaps of new shirts and 4 pairs of jeans. The shoes were by far the best part- she got me green Vans. Whoo!

I sat on my bed tossing my basketball in the air. I was thinking about Sarah. Probably more than I should be. It was good to stop thinking about my ex Hannah-Lee. She lives in Sydney. We were together two years almost. I loved her. But I found out not long before the move she had been cheating on me for 5 months. With my… now ex best friend Vince. It hurt a lot. This move was almost best thing that’s happened in the past year. Besides meeting Sarah. Now that has been the best part of my year.

 

 

A suite party.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter Two

A suit party.

 8:08 am Friday morning.

I sat at the end of my bed. Looking out my window. It's only four days until my birthday. It was Friday (yea school started on Thursday. Thanks to public holidays and a water pipe bursting!) I watched the tree out my window blow gently in the wind. 

 

*Knock knock knock*

“Come in!” I yelled.

The door began to open and I saw my Dads smiling face. He came in and sat beside me.

“How was your sleep sweetie?” He asked hugging me tightly.

“It was amazing. Best one in two years.” I gave a slight wink.

Dad smiled and patted my back. He looked sort of sad.

“Are you okay?” I asked concerned.

“Your… Angela rang again. She’s now threatening to take me to court for custody over you. I know she won’t get it but it’s got me a bit down. Since I’ll be away for a week after your birthday. I’m worried she’ll come here. Even with Mark here.”

Wait.. Mark? Why will he be here? Now I’m confused.          

“What do you mean Mark here???” I questioned.

Dad paused and bite his lip. Which only means he wasn’t supposed to tell me that.

“He, uhm. Sarah-“ he paused for a moment. I grew impatient with him.

“Dad, spill.” I groaned.

“I’ve asked Mark to stay here while I’m away. I don’t want Angela rocking up if you’re home alone.” He sighed.

“Dad that’s sweet but you don’t have to do that. I’ll smack her out!” I laughed.

“Hunny, I want you safe.” His voice was low. Almost a bit angry.

I knew he was being his typical protective self. I nodded and kissed him on the cheek.

“I guess he can stay here then. Just as long as I stay in charge!” I smirked.

Dad smiled before walking towards the door.

“I’m heading to work, love you Sar.” He blew me a kiss and closed the door.
