"I'm back!" I called out as I walked into the house. I heard the TV on in the background. I waited for my dad's response. Nothing. Hmm... I thought. Wondering what he could be doing. I set down my backpack next to the kitchen table and walked over to the TV. On the couch laid my dad, who was fast asleep, and had a chip bag split open all over the floor. Really? I walked over and started picking up the chips, one by one, making sure not to wake my dad. I finally picked up the last one and dumped it the trash. I brushed my hands on my pants followed by a long sigh, dreading the homework that I knew I had to do. I grabbed my backpack and ran upstairs closing my bedroom door behind me.
Halfway through my science work I heard a soft knock on my door. "Come in," I said putting down my pencil. My dad came through the door his eyes half-shut and his hair was all messed up.
"How was your day?" He asked rubbing his eyes open. He blinked a few times to clear his vision.
"Good," I replied. I started to focus on my homework again. I re-positioned myself sitting on a few papers here and there that were sprawled out on my bed.
"Well that's good." He mumbled he turned around and walked out the door. "We're having porkchops for dinner!" He called out from downstairs. I stayed silent knowing there was no reason to respond. So instead I focused on memorizing scientific formulas.

School seemed much "Brighter" today. Everyone seemed to be in a better mood. My first class was English which was located in room D12. Lucky for me it was right next to my locker. Well that's nice! I thought. I walked into the classroom and walked into a big clump of red messy hair. I stumbled back a bit. "Sorry," I said looking to make sure they were okay. He turned around. Shit, I froze, He's really cute! I couldn't help but stare. His eyes were brown like chocolate. They were so easy to get lost into.
"Im Mark, Mark Fischbach." He held out his hand. I took it into my own. He smiled and shook my hand. I stood there, still frozen in a trance. "I'm new here today. I was too busy yesterday with the move to come here." I snapped back into reality.
"Wait," I asked, I had a very puzzled look on my face. "Where did you move from?"
"Hawaii." My eyes bulged out of my head. He laughed
"Really?" I was even more surprised now. He nodded. I smiled and looked into his chocolate eyes. I would've stood there forever but realized that I was blocking the doorway. The people behind me looked really impatient. "Sorry," I murmured scratching the back of my head, I moved aside. I tried to make my way back to Mark but he already went to his seat. I walked around looking at the tables trying to find where I sat. Of course, all the way across the room from Mark! Shit... I sat down throwing my books down on my desk. I rested my head in my hands hoping the day would go by quickly.
After the first bell rang Mark ran over to me.
"Hey! I didn't catch your name," He asked.
"It's Se-," I stopped and corrected myself quickly. "Jack, my name's Jack." Mark smiled.
"Well I hope I can talk to you later!" He added.
"M-Me too," I smiled and waved as Mark and I walked away.
My face felt hot and red. Motherfucker! Why do I always need to blush when talking to guys! I felt embarrassed all the way to Spanish hoping I would see Mark again.
Soon lunch came by before I knew it. I grabbed a tray and filled it up with the greasy food the cafeteria provided. my dad told me to choke it down until he could pack me a lunch. I glanced around the lunch room when I saw a hand point at me. It waved me over. I saw the people I sat with yesterday. At lunch we talked about who would win in a battle, Goku or Ryu. I didnt what the hell they were talking about so i didn't join in on the conversation. My eyes wondered over the heads of people sitting in the cafeteria when they saw I blaze color of red. I looked closer and saw Mark sitting by himself. I filled up with guilt and walked over to him.
"Hey Mark, want to come sit by us?" I asked. I pointed behind me to show where we were sitting.
"Sure," He grabbed his tray and followed me over to my spot. He sat across from me.
"Do you know who the hell Goku or Ryu are?" I asked. He shook his head saying that he didn't have a clue. He glanced up at my hair.
"Why did you dye your hair?" I was surprised at the question. I never really thought of it before.
"Well, when I moved from Ireland I wanted to take some of it with me, and since we lived on fields of green i decided to dye my hair like the hills. It's like i took a piece of home with me." I replied looking in the distance remembering the happy and sad times I had in Ireland.
"Well I had the same idea but mine was with the different shades of red from the evening sunsets in Honolulu." We both stayed silent after that.
"Don't look now." A boy whispered from the end of the table. "Here comes Rachel." Mark and I exchanged looks. We both noticed that her face was caked in make-up and was wearing booty-shorts. Everyone at the table had one of two looks. Either you were sizing her up or giving her the evil eye. "You'd have to crazy to not like her," He added. I quickly glanced at Mark. He looked back at me with worried eyes. Shit! Shit! Shit! I don't want him to think I'm gay now! I quickly looked away. I didn't want him to get the wrong image. My cheeks started turning red.
"I have to go use the bathroom," I stood up quickly my throat was dry. I ran over to the bathroom regretting the past minute. Luckily, no one noticed me. I ran into one of the stalls and locked the door behind me. I rested my head on the door sighing as i did so. I heard the door open. I saw a pair of Nikes walk in.
"Jack?" asked Mark.
