You Again?

I was sitting in class, about to fall asleep when my phone vibrated. I check my phone to see a text from Jackson.
[Text from Jackson]
"Can we eat lunch together?"

[Text to Jackson]
"Sure"

I look up to him and he waves to me. I smile but quickly put on my poker face when Mark looks over.
---

The bell rings for lunch. I walk out of my class and Jackson is waiting for me.

"Ready?"

We grab our lunches and sit outside.

"Are you feeling any better?"

"Yeah a little I guess."

The scene of Mark and JiHae replayed over and over in my head.

"Who have I become? I was never the girl to just sit back and let someone hurt me. My parents always taught me to be a fighter and say strong." I thought to myself.

"What are you thinking about."

"Nothing...Jackson could you do me a favor?"

"Of course anything."

"Let's go find JiHae."

"W-why?"

I grab Jackson by his arm for him to stand up, and drag him back in the school. We walk up the stairs to still see JiHae at her locker.

"Are you ready Jackson?"

"Ready?! For what?"

"Just follow me."

I walk up to JiHae and she turns around.

"Wow look who it is. I thought you would never show you face, and who's this your body guard?"
She points to Jackson.

"No, he's here to make sure I don't kick your ass too badly."

"What?" Jackson yelled.

I rolled up my sleeves and bring my fist back and right before I could swing Jackson grabs my wrist.

"Let's go, she's not worth it."

I sigh and knew Jackson was right. I drop my arm.

"You're lucky this time," I warned.

I walk off with Jackson.

"Don't be mad at me because your boyfriend kissed me."

I clenched my fist and my jaw and turned around. I walk back to JiHae and grabbed her by her collar. I slapped her back against the lockers.

"I know my Mark would never kiss a slut like you."

The bell rings for lunch to be over and I release my grip from her.
Jackson grabs me and brings me away from JiHae.
---

"Thanks Jackson. I guess I do still trust Mark."

"You do?... That's good."

An uneasy look came across his face. I pat him on his shoulder.

"You'll always be a great friend."

I finally felt that I could open Mark's note now. I grab it out my pocket and start to open it.

"Please meet me after school by the old willow tree, if you still trust me."
---

The bell rings for school to be over and I head up to the school with Dani.

"Um… Dani can I have your advice?"

"Sure what?"

I handed her the note that Mark gave me.

"Read this and tell me what to do."

She read it and hesitated to answer me.

"Yah go! Just go see him."

"Really? Yesterday, and I quote,you told me not to talk about anything that has to do with that scumbag Mark."

"We all know you love Mark. Plus he came up to me during lunch begging to do anything that
would convince you to change your mind. He told me everything that happened between JiHae and him. I really believe it was a misunderstanding from all of us. So yes go and see Mark."
I hug her tightly.

"Thanks Dani!"

I run down the stairs and go outside. It's a 10 minute walk to the old willow tree from school.
---

I walk up the hill of the old willow tree and see Mark sitting on a bench. He quickly stands up when he sees me. I take a deep breath and walk towards him. When I finally got close to him he pulls me into his embrace. I pull my hands from my pocket and hug him back.

"I'm sorry that I didn't trust you."

He smirks at me a leans in for a kiss.

"It's okay. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for forgetting your birthday, making you cry, for..."
I cut him off with a kiss.

"It's okay."

"Shall I walk you home?"

He holds out his hand. I smile and grab it tightly.
-----
The rest of the school year seemed like a breeze. Everyone one was happy and all got a long great, not one problem.
Turns out, after Jr and Dani went to the hospital together, a few months back to see their family members, they started to hit it off and are now dating.
Jackson finally told the school about how we never dated to begin with and it was all a joke and that he was sorry about it to everyone especially to me.
JiHae transferred schools after the principal found out she was crazy. We found out that she use to be in a mental institution for most of her life and is currently going in and out of them.
And as for Mark and I, we're pretty happy together. We got to know much more of each other and I'm glad to say that he is one of my best friends.
We all graduate soon and Im looking forward in seeing what life has for us all! It's been a crazy year, but I'm glad I got to go through it with good friends. But most importantly I'm glad I got to see you again.
