Hey guys! I finished this chapter early so I thought that I would upload it now! Happy reading! Enjoy!
"This hamburger is AMAZING" Jerome shouted as he took the first bite of his burger. Everyone around the lunch table laughed at his enthusiasm for food. The Youtubers were seated at a long, rectangular table in the lunchroom.
"Yeah this food is DANK" Bajan joined him in his celebration of the burger. Pewds took a bite of his hamburger and savored its juicy flavor. I should eat hamburgers more often! Felix thought to himself. He glanced up from his meal and noticed someone slowly walking towards their table. He was a man about his age with spiky brown hair and glasses. He wore a red sweatshirt and jeans. The man approached the table with a fire of excitement burning in his brown eyes.
"Hey! You're Pewdiepie! I am such a big fan! And you must be Bajan, Jerome, Minx, Mark, Marzia, Ken, Cry, Sky, Deadlox, and… who are you?" The boy pointed to Yami. Yami's eyes expressed a twinkle of disappointment.
"I'm Yamimash, I'm a game commentator as well." Yami explained to the boy.
"Oh yeah, I think I've seen you in one of Mark's videos." Yami tried to hide his slight frustration, but failed miserably. Mark laughed to himself at Yami's disappointment. You jelly Yami? Mark snickered to himself.
"Do you guys mind if I sit with you? I don't really have anywhere else to sit today." The boy asked with hope gleaming in his eyes.
"Yeah, sure. As long as you don't fanboy too much." Sky laughed.
"THANKS SO MUCH, I won't! By the way, my name is Jake." Jake introduced himself. He plopped down next to Mark and began to eat his lunch with the Youtubers. His promise didn't last five minutes, since he continuously said how cool it was to meet all of them.
"Hey Jake, why don't you have anywhere to sit? There are plenty of open seats, or did you just want to sit with us?" Deadlox questioned the ecstatic man. Jake's expression transformed into annoyance as he responded.
"Well, after I got kicked out of my seat I saw you guys over here so I thought that I would join you"
"Who kicked you out of your seat?" Ken asked. Jake pointed his finger towards the other side of the lunchroom, where only one person sat. It was Saph.
"She sat in my seat!" Jake complained like a little kid would if someone stole their cookie.
"Oh, so Mark's girlfriend has a mean side eh?" Cry teased. Mark slammed his fist on the table, making it tremble.
"SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" He tried to convince them that he didn't have a crush on Saph, but he was too late. A wide, teasing grin was spread on the faces of each person at the table, except Jake.
"Well good because you shouldn't converse with the likes of her." Jake threw his arm on Mark's shoulder.
"Mark, I'll give you some good advice on how to survive at this place. Stay away from her. She…is…EVIL." Jake emphasized the last three words.
"What? No, she isn't evil! I was just talking-"
"Flirting" Cry interrupted.
"Shut up no I wasn't! Anyway, I was just talking to her earlier and she seems like a completely normal girl!" Mark argued.
"Bro, that's how she gets you. She pulls you in, then takes you out!" Jake shook his head. No! I refuse to believe it, Jake is just a big liar! I bet he doesn't even know her! Mark angrily thought to himself.
"Not to mention that she's a crazy bitch!" Jake laughed to himself. The last word uttered from Jake's mouth filled Mark's body with indisputable rage that guided his next action. Mark shoved Jake onto the dirty floor of the cafeteria, stood up from his chair, and started yelling.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP! SHE IS NOT A CRAZY BITCH! SHE'S ONE OF THE NICEST, COOLEST GIRLS I'VE EVER MET! YOU PROBABLY HAVE NEVER EVEN TALKED TO HER! HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED TO THINK THAT MAYBE SHE'S SHY AND HAS TROUBLE COMMUNICATING WITH PEOPLE? NO, YOU WOULDN'T BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST A STUPID ASSHOLE CUNT…" Mark then continued to scream every curse word in his dictionary at the stunned man still lying on the ground. The eyes of everyone in the lunchroom were now observing the scene that was unfolding before them. The other Youtubers' mouths dropped open at Mark's display. They've seen him angry before in a couple of his videos but it was never this intense. His booming voice echoed throughout the entire building, and soon he was the only person talking.
After he had exhausted every known curse word in his vocabulary, Mark stood their panting. He was dizzy from the excess amount of adrenaline in his system and lack of oxygen. He swayed a little, but still held his ground and continued to stare Jake down. Jake lay limply on the cold floor of the lunchroom, eyes wide open in shock. Even moments after Mark was done cursing him out, his actions still didn't register in his brain. Woah was all Jake could think of. The cold, dead silence of the lunchroom was deafening to Mark, until the click clack of heals heading towards the men shattered it. Mark's heart stopped as he turned around, realizing what he had just done and what was going to happen. Ms. Wattman was approaching the scene with a stern expression on her face.
"Both of you, in my office… now." Ms. Wattman prolonged the last word, which sent shivers up Mark's spine. Jake slowly got up and followed Ms. Wattman as she turned around and walked away. He walked around Mark cautiously; eyes filled with fear and began to walk closely to Ms. Wattman. Mark hung his head in embarrassment and followed behind the principal. The steps they took were the only sound heard in the cafeteria. The three opened the door out of the lunchroom and walked outside. The door shut with a cold bang and chatter began to fill the silence. All the Youtubers slowly looked at each other, mouths still open in astonishment.
"What…just happened?" Yami finally voiced the question that was on everyone else's mind.
"I… don't know" Marzia finally answered after a few excruciatingly silent moments. All of the heads of the Youtubers simultaneously turned to face the girl across the lunchroom with the unforgettable emerald eyes. Her face was contorted in pure shock and her eyes were still glued to the now closed door.
"You know that your actions will not go unpunished right? This is a very prestigious institution and I will not let this kind of behavior slide! Do you understand me?" Ms. Wattman was pacing behind her desk while Mark and Jake sat in chairs in front of it.
"Yes ma'am." Mark hung his head in shame. Why did I do that?! It was like a damn light switch went off in my mind and I couldn't control myself! Why do I have to be such a fucking idiot? Mark mentally beat himself up.
"I would refer you two to Mr. Wells to help sort this issue out, but I'm curious. Why did you snap?" Ms. Wattman sat down in her chair and waited for Mark to respond. Oh shit! If I tell her what Jake said, then she might bring Saph into this! What should I do, oh fuck what am I going to say?!
"Jake…um…uhh…said…-" Mark stuttered.
"Ms. Wattman, it was all my fault! I said something really offensive to Mark and that's why he pushed me down! I really shouldn't have said that and I'm sorry!" Jake suddenly stood up in his chair. The principal's face was surprised by Jake's unpredicted confession. She turned back to Mark.
"Mark, is this true?" Mark was speechless and only could muster to nod.
"Well Mark, you're still going to be punished. You will be given one hour of detention every day starting at 7:00 pm in Ms. Sullivan's classroom for the next two weeks. You will help her any way she needs you to. You will start later today, do you understand?"
"Yes ma'am" Mark was relieved that this was all over.
"In that case, you both are free to go. Goodbye." Ms. Wattman motioned toward the door to her office. Both men got out of their seats and exited the room. Once the door slammed behind them, they looked at each other.
"Thanks, man for helping me back there." Mark weakly smiled at Jake.
"Well, it was my fault. I guess I shouldn't have insulted your crush like that-"
"Dude! For the last time I do NOT have a crush on Saph!" Mark playfully shoved Jake to the side.
"Then why did you go all…well, never mind. I'm sorry." Mark could clearly see the regret deep in Jakes eyes as he waited for his response.
"It's alright dude, and I'm sorry for going off on you like that, let's just try and forget about it ok?" He didn't exactly forgive Jake for what he said about Saph. But he knew that making enemies here would just make things worse for everyone.
"OH SHIT!" Jake suddenly yelled, making Mark jump.
"What is it?! What's wrong?!"
"WE FORGOT TO FINISH OUR FOOD. THOSE DELICIOUS HAMBURGERS WILL GO TO WASTE!" Jake started to sprint to the lunchroom, with Mark laughing slightly behind him. They both reached the door to the lunchroom and when they entered, everything seemed back to normal. Though friendly chatter filled the room, Mark felt incredibly uneasy. What's wrong with me? Jake and I are cool again, but why do I feel so…weird? Mark thought as the two made their way back to their table. Minx saw the two men smiling as they approached the table.
"I'm assuming that you guys made up." Minx said.
"Yeah, we came back for our food… and you guys too!" Mark chuckled lightly and sat down. Jake soon sat down next to him. Thankfully, no one questioned Mark's previous behavior and why he snapped.
"Awe man! I love these brownies so much! They even have sprinkles!" Marzia giggled.
"If you like them so much you can have mine. I'm not that hungry." Bajan placed his brownies on Marzia's plate.
"Thanks Mitch! That's so nice of you." Marzia smiled and began to devour the brownies.
"N-no problem." Mitch stuttered. Wow she really likes them! She's so cute when she's eating those. Wait, what the hell am I thinking?! Bajan shook his head and continued eating his lunch.
"Umm Mark, some guy is asking for you." Cry tapped Mark on the shoulder and pointed to a group of guys across the room. They were all looking at him and one was motioning him to come closer. Mark nodded and walked over to them. They were all men in their late 20's. They were mostly chunky, but that hid muscle underneath. Once Mark sat down next to the biggest one, he started to talk.
"So you must be Mark. I'm Rex." Rex stuck out his hand for Mark to shake, and he shook it. But Rex wouldn't let go of his hand. Instead, he pulled Mark closer until his mouth was next to Mark's ear.
"So, you think you're a tough guy around here huh?" Rex spoke into his ear. Rex grabbed Mark by the back of his neck and slammed his head on the table.
"Well, we're the tough guys around here. You hear me?" Rex bitterly spat at him. Mark was silent for a couple of moments, but after he recovered from shock he finally responded.
"No you're not. You guys are just a bunch of fucking overgrown high school bullies! Go back to stealing some nerd's lunch money!" Mark spat under the iron grip of the much larger man.
"Oh well, it looks like I'm gonna have to teach this one a lesson boys." Rex leaned down next to Mark's ear until he could feel his hot breath against his head.
"Watch and learn, class is in session." Rex threw Mark onto the floor, climbed on top of him, and landed a hit on Mark's cheek.
"MARK!" Everyone at the YouTube table stood up. Pewds was about to run over to help Mark, but the other men at the table ran over and blocked him.
"You're not helping anyone today!" One of them snarled at Felix. After landing a couple more hits, Rex dragged Mark to the nearest wall. He pinned him against the wall and landed two more brutal hits across Mark's face. Mark's vision was starting to go hazy and the multiple punches to the face were starting to compromise his thought processes. Mark was unable to fight back because the massive pain in his head clouded his judgment. Rex retracted his fist into a pre-punching position.
"Nighty night…Mark" Rex sneered evilly and Mark braced for unconsciousness. But instead, he heard a familiar voice.
"Put him down you damn meat lug!" Rex turned around and smiled. Next thing he knew, Mark was thrown onto the floor. His head knocked against the ground and the dizziness intensified. He could make out a girl standing a couple feet in front of Rex. Is that…no…it's Saph! She'll get destroyed! I have to help her! Mark used all of his remaining strength to try and pick himself up. Rex noticed this and flung his foot, which made contact with Mark's stomach. He fell back onto the floor as the wind was knocked out of him.
"I said fuck off Rex!" Saph started to shout.
"And what are you gonna do about it freak?" Rex took a couple steps toward Saph, until they were face-to-face.
"N-no d-don't you t-touch her." Mark weakly gasped, but he wasn't sure that Rex heard him. All of his remaining strength was being used to try and stay conscious. Rex stuck up his fist and aimed directly at Saph. No! Mark internally screamed. The huge man swung his fist, but instead of making contact with Saph's face it was caught by her open hand. Mark could barely make out a faint smirk run across her face. She bent Rex's hand backwards and pushed him against the wall with his hand behind his back in one, swift movement. While doing this, Rex screamed in agony as his arm was being bent at an awkward position. Whoa… was all Mark could think of as Saph threw Rex onto the hard floor. She placed her foot on his cheek and proceeded to step on his face. Rex groaned in pain.
"And to think, I didn't even have to use my power. Next time you pick a fight, make sure you can win." Saph landed a harsh kick on Rex's right cheek and stepped off of him. Rex's buddies rushed over and helped him up. Saph hurried over to Mark and helped him sit up against the wall.
"Th-that was…awesome." Mark breathed.
"Yeah yeah yeah, don't mention it. You need to get to the nurse quick!" Saph lifted her hand to meet a dark bruise that had formed on his cheek, and Mark finally fell into unconsciousness.
Ouch, well I hope you guys loved that chapter because I know I had a blast writing it! Also, feel free to send in any pairings you may want to see (None involving Mark though, sorry). I hope you give me some more feedback on how you think the story is going! Goodnight everybody!
