Here is chapter 3 not as good as I'd like it to be but the following
Chapters hopefully will be better.
Chapter 3 The Next Day
The next morning Mark got ready for school knowing that Lancer would be there waiting for him and he would probably get expelled for his actions of yesterday. When he arrived the first people he saw were his new friends. "Hi Mark they said as he approached them." "Oh hi Danny, Sam, Tucker." "You showed up they asked" Yeah I figured I'd come in and face the music the most they're going to do is kick me out it's not like it hasn't happened before." "Your not worried Danny asked." "Not really was Mark's reply." Just then Lancer approached "Mr. Alison to the office now he demanded." To which the boy complied turning away "Mark said well if I don't see you again it was nice knowing you." "Nice knowing you too the three friends replied." "He won't be back Lancer said." As he turned and walked off leaving them standing alone.
Upon arriving at the principals office the door swung open slowly to which Lancer and Mark entered exiting the hallway. "Have a seat the teacher said." The Young boy sat down in front of a big desk. On the other side of which sat principal Ishyama. "Send in the two other students involved in this she told her secretary." As the door opened once again Mark could see Dash, and Kwan in the opening one with his arm in a cast and his jaw wired shut the other with his right leg in a cast and on crutches. Upon entering the door closed behind them. Just before lunch after spending the entire morning in the office Mark appeared once again. Walking into the lunchroom Danny, Tucker, and Sam spotted their friend with a smile on his face. "Over here they shouted." Mark walked over to where his friends were sitting. "What happened they all wanted to know?" "Well first off Ishyama put Lancer on probation for six months for favoritism of the jocks." "Then she suspended Dash, and Kwan ten days for starting the fight." "She didn't do anything to me, and finally she's going to make the three of them apologize to Danny and me in front of the whole school."
"Wow that's awesome Danny said aloud." "Oh man I can't believe it Tucker added." "Yeah Sam chimed in
Usually they take the jocks side. "Apparently someone complained to the school board about Lancer giving the popular kids a free ride." "So they sent a person in to investigate undercover and that person saw what
Happened and reported it to the principal." "Especially about how Lancer grabbed me she told him from now on he has to keep his hands off the students or he is fired Mark explained." "Oh by the way Mark said meet me on the front steps after school." "I promised you guys if I didn't get in trouble I would treat you to some burgers at my favorite spot in my neighborhood." "Cool we'll be there." The rest of the day once again went by quickly and the four kids met up on the steps as planned. "Follow me guys Mark said and stay close the area where were going is not the safest and I don't want to lose any of you." As Mark led his friends down past a series of old abandoned buildings in the bad part of town. Danny asked his friend. "How do you know about this place?" " Because I live down here Danny answered Mark." Coming upon an old faded brick building with a rusted sign on the front. Mark announced "were here." Then upon entering
Danny, Sam, and Tucker noticed the place looked like something out of the fifties. Mark, Danny, Sam, and Tucker walked up to the counter. As they got closer the man standing behind it looked up and spoke.
"Hey kid long time no see." "Oh hi Mark responded guys this is Joe he owns the place and makes the best burgers in town." "Joe these are my friends Danny, Tucker, and Sam." "Nice to meet all of you any friends of Mark's are always welcome here he said." "Nice to meet you to the three responded." "Joe I told them you have the best burgers around including veggie burgers so get them whatever they want it's on me." "Oh
And I'll have a burger, fries, and large drink." Danny, Tucker, and Sam placed their orders and awhile later the four friends were sitting at the counter talking and enjoying each other's company while they were eating. "How is the food Mark asked his friends?" "This burger rocks Danny replied way better than Nasty
Burger." "Yeah dude the fries are killer Tucker added." "You did not lie this is the best veggie burger ever
Sam answered." Danny then asked. "What's the story we've heard that you almost killed a couple of kids when you were younger?" Mark sighed. "I was wondering how long it would take before someone brought that up." "Well its true when I was just a little kid two other kids in my neighborhood use to beat me up every day." "Then one day after they beat me up again I just snapped." "So I grabbed a pipe and started hammering them until I couldn't even lift my arms anymore." "When it was all over they ended up in the hospital almost dead." "I just couldn't take it anymore." "So to keep me from going to juvenile hall the judge told my parents to find a way for me to control my temper." "That's when they got me into the martial arts and the rest is history." After the four were done eating. "Mark asked his friends hey guys would you like to see the hot rod I've been building over at my hangout." "You've been building a car Danny questioned." "Yeah Mark replied." "Well sure that sounds cool his friends answered let's go." "Ok let me use the restroom and we'll head over." Mark left the room to do his business while Danny, Tucker, and Sam waited. The man behind the counter started talking. "I don't know how the three of you did it but thanks."
"Do what they asked." "Get that kid to eat I worry about him." "Why's that Danny asked?" "Because he barely eats the man replied." "Why not asked Sam." "He gets busy and he forgets was the reply." Just then Mark reappeared and the man asked. "Please don't say anything to him about what we were talking about."
"He would be mad if he found out I told you." "No problem they said." As Mark approached Danny spoke.
"Are we going now?" "We sure are Mark answered." As he paid the bill and left a tip. "Good burgers Joe as always." "Thanks kid but stop in and eat a little more often will you." Mark let out a sigh. "Ok come on guys lets go." The four kids walked outside and over a couple of blocks to an old junkyard. Where Mark led
His friends through an opening in the fence. "When Tucker asked are we allowed in here." "Oh sure Mark said I know the owner and I work for him." "We thought you delivered packages." "I did until the other day." "The man who owned the business closed up and retired." "So now I work here getting parts from the
Yard." Coming to an old pile of cars Mark opened the rear doors of a panel truck. "Follow me." Danny, Tucker, and Sam came after him and soon found themselves in an underground lair. That was laid out like an apartment with a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. "Wow this place is amazing his friends
Said where did you get all this stuff." "I picked it up off curbs and my boss he dug this place out for me." "I come here to get away from the world." "Come on I'll show you my car." Going down a long hallway the four kids arrived at another large room. Where upon turning on the lights Danny, Sam, and Tucker gazed at a large vehicle all torn apart. "Well guys what do you think." "What is it they asked not recognizing what it was." "It's my forty-one Willys." "I've been working on it since I was six." "Its my hobby I try and stay out of trouble by working on it whenever I get a little extra money." "How old are you asked Danny." "I'm fourteen Mark said." "And when is your birthday." After Mark told his friends when his birthday was. Danny said. "That makes you six months younger than me and you're already messing around with a car that's awesome." "Thanks Mark said but I better get you guys home now before it gets to late and you get into any trouble." The next few days went by uneventfully. As Danny, Tucker, and Sam got to know their new friend a little better. And started taking a real liking to him.
That's it for chapter 3 sorry again if its not very good the coming chapters should be better.
I tried fixing my punctuation and capitalization around the dialogue to make the story easier to follow
Hope it helps. Chapter 4 is coming soon and it will be very long but hopefully it will shed some more light on Mark's past and clarify a lot of things. This story is written in fun, as I was bored one day it will be my only fan fiction story.
