- • Looking up at the flash of color sitting opposite of him, he slowly removed the earbud and wrapped the cord around his phone leaving the music unpaused. He recognized her from home room. It was refreshing to see someone different from all the girls sporting leggings and skimpy clothing with 50$ beanies from dark stores that reeked of cologne. She spoke quietly and after processing the pieces that he'd heard, Mark nodded and smiled briefly. "Hey, yeah. Beatrice? It's not problem, just grab a seat." he replied quietly, motioning towards the seat she'd already taken. The wrinkled brown lunch bag reminded him of the orange and simple ham sandwich he'd brought for himself. Unzipping the black backpack covered in various patches and pen drawings that one of his brother had done Mark took both items out. Talking fell into a full roar around them as he ate slowly.
"Lots of people here, huh..." the freak asked hesitantly, piecing the words gradually as he spoke. People told him that they hated silence, called it awkward and focused too much on whoever wasn't talking. So, to make things in high school less stressful than usual the blonde tried his best to make small talk. Making others comfortable was more work than people made it out to be, for him. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted Arabelle, and he scowled inherently. The two had never exactly been friends, but Mark felt like tensions had really skyrocketed in high school.
