Felix was calling him over. Looking back at Sean, he knew that he tried one too many times and he just needed to let it go. Once Mark was within reach, Felix wrapped his arm around his neck and ruffled his hair.

"Hey, Markimoo! We haven't hung out in ages let's do that tonight! Video games and movies and food!" He pumped his fists into the air.

"I'm up for that!" Wade called.

"Count me in!" Bob followed.

"Yeah, that sounds like fun. Can we invite Sean as well?" Mark asked.

Felix froze and looked behind him where Sean was walking in the opposite direction. "You got my note, right?" He asked quietly.

Mark pried himself from Felix's headlock, "You wrote that?"

"Yep, I even tried again today thinking I just came off a little strong last time but nothing was different. I mean it man; he's just not worth the effort."

Mark gently chewed on the inside of his mouth in thought, looking where Sean was last before he disappeared. Not wanting to believe it but also knowing that they were probably right. He's very serious about not having any friends.

"I'm sorry, Mark," Bob started, "But at least you tried."

"Now how about those games, movies and food?!" Wade shouted enthusiastically.

Mark chuckled at the enthusiasm and decided that this was probably what he needed to keep his mind off of everything. "Yeah! Games, movies and food!" He cheered pumping his fists in the air.

The walk was filled with laughter and ideas for tonight. What to eat, where to go, what to play, it was certainly turning into more than just games, movies and food.

Once the door to Felix's house was open, Mark made sure he was first inside just so he could launch himself onto the couch, taking up all spots with his body.

"You're not seriously taking up all those spots, are you?" Wade asked.

"I don't know, I'm pretty comfy." He turned onto his back and put his hands behind his head. Just as he did Bob sat down on his legs.

"Ah! Don't turn me into an ostrich!"

"Then you might want to get up because I'm not moving."

"Ugh, fine. At least let me just reposition myself."

Bob stood up and Mark flipped over so he was face down on a pillow. "Okay, you guys can sit down now." His voice was muffled.

"You're going to let us sit on you?"

"Yep. Because I want to lie down."

He felt Bob sit back down on his calves. "Is something wrong?"

"Just a long day. A lot of thinking, a lot of work, a lot of trying."

"I'm sorry your day was hard on you." Someone sat on his ass, he guessed it was Wade since he was just talking.

It was soon followed by Felix's laugh then, "Comfortable, Mark?"

"Why, yes I am, thank you for asking." He finally moved his head to see the TV just in time to watch Felix's pants lower itself onto his face.

"Ah! Ah! Oh god! Get off! Get your balls off of my face!"

He stood back up and everyone began laughing really hard. "Well, where do I sit then?"

"On the floor like a good host. You have a bowl of popcorn anyway, those who have popcorn need to sit in front of everyone without blocking the screen."

"If you're going to make me sit on the floor then I'm taking the pillow."

The fabric created friction against his face turning his cheek red as it was yanked out from under him.

"But I was comfy!" Mark fake whined.

"Oh, you're fine. You've got your friends sitting on you."

He dropped the pillow onto the floor, set the bowl down and went to go open his movie drawer. "I think we agreed on a drinking game with all the Harry Potter movies and then "Mirrors"."

Everyone nodded excitedly.

"Cool!" He put the first movie in and turned on the TV. "I'll go get our shot glasses. What kind of alcohol should we drink?"

"Got any Jack Daniels?" Bob called.

"Yes I do! I'll get Coke to go with it."

He walked back into the room and set down four shot glasses on the coffee table with the drinks within reach. He then opened a drawer to take out a santa hat and put it on top of the TV.

Once he sat down on the pillow the game had begun. Whenever someone was "wearing" the hat they had to take a shot. Several shots later we were a little tipsy.

We reached the scene where Harry had found the mirror which displayed his parents standing with him.

Felix started laughing, "Oh man, that reminds me of today when I went into the bathroom and some guy was shouting at his reflection like he was arguing with himself."

Mark laughed as he poured himself another shot, "That's so weird. Who was it?"

"You know him. The… The green douchebag. Whatever his name was."

Mark was suddenly very sober and choked on half his shot. He coughed for a full minute before continuing. "Wait a minute, wait a minute. You mean Sean?"

"Yeah, him. There's something wrong with that guy."

"What did he say?"

"I didn't get all of it, I just caught "It's because of you I don't have any friends." Then he noticed me and quickly left the bathroom. Why are you asking so many questions about him? He's not worth it, man, just enjoy here and now."

Mark of course was not going go through the rest of the night knowing this piece of information. He didn't know what he could do with it but it was still something new about the man he so desperately wanted to know more about.
