(Mark's P.O.V.)

Jack and I are just hanging out at the back of the school. School's been over for about ten minutes and Jack is just finishing up his explanation of his encounter with Bob, Ken and Wade yesterday. 

"Wow." I say after he finishes. He nods. 

"Yeah, definitely a uh... A change." He says, chuckling. I nod. 

"Sounds like it. Man. Have you talked to them since?" I ask. He shakes his head. 

"No. I mean, we've seen each other in the halls but I guess... I guess we're just kinda done with each other now." He shrugs. I nod again, understanding. 

"Yeah. I mean, they only know the one you." I say. He smiles a bit, narrowing his eyes. 

"One me?" He asks, chuckling slightly. I nod. 

"I've figured out there are multiple versions of you, I guess is the way to put it." I say. Jack raises an eyebrow. 

"Oh?" He asks. I nod. 

"Yeah. There's nice you, or Booper I guess. There's... Not so nice you, or Jack. And then there's insecure childish you, which I guess would be Sean." I say. He cringes a bit at his real name. I chuckle. 

"Really?" He asks. I nod. 

"Yeah, and I've met all of them. But the one I really want to meet is you. Just you." I say, smiling. Jack chuckles. 

"And what would the name for that me be?" He asks. I shrug. 

"Jack, Booper, Sean, all of the above." I say, making him laugh. I step a bit closer. 

"No seriously though. I really want to meet the real you. Flaws and everything." I say. He stops laughing and just stares at me smiling, actually smiling. And he has his glasses on, which doesn't help the fact that I'm now staring at him. 

"Jack!" I hear someone. A girl with a soft Irish accent. Jack closes his eyes and sighs. 

"Hi Kate." He says back. I frown. I turn and see a girl, woman more like it, who looks like she's in her late college years. And she looks a hell of a lot like Jack. I move out of the way, to the side a bit, so Kate can stand in front of Jack. 

"Nice glasses." She says. Jack smiles a bit. 

"Mm. Tell me, why is my college attending sister here to pick me up from school?" He asks. Oh, so this is his sister. Or, one of his sisters. He told me he has two sisters and two brothers. All of them older. Kate nods a bit. 

"Cause I'm in town, Ma's at the grocery store and you don't have a car." She says. Jack nods and opens his eyes. His eyes immediately focus on Kate's pants. 

"Look at them pants!" He says, which makes me laugh like no tomorrow. 

"Jack." Kate says, obviously disappointed but entertained nonetheless. I'm positive this isn't the first time he's done this. Jack looks up at her, smiling slightly. 

"You're wearing a very nice jumper. And a very nice beanie. And very nice pants!" He finishes, which makes me fall on the ground laughing, I'm laughing so hard. Jack looks over at me and starts laughing as well. "Mark?! What the hell is wrong with you?" He asks. 

I try to answer but I just start laughing harder. Soon Kate and Jack are both laughing with me, though I'm the only one on the ground. Eventually, I stop laughing. Though, it's only because I'm in so much pain I literally cannot laugh anymore. 

"My sides! They hurt! They hurt so much!" I say, holding my sides in pain. Jack nods. 

"Well that's what you get!" He says, calming down as well. Soon we're all calm and no longer laughing like crazy people. I stay on the ground though cause... Pain. 

"Okay, okay. Now that that's over, Jack, we should probably head home." Kate says. I frown. 

"Aw!" I say. Jack rolls his eyes. 

"I'll message you later." He says. I smile again and wave as he walks away with his sister. I still just stay on the ground, recovering from my laugh attack. That was pleasant.

(Jack's P.O.V.)


"So who is that?" Kate asks. I shrug. 

"A friend." I say, not wanting to get into specifics. I'm almost positive by now though that Mark would call us friends, and if not... I would be very very sad. 

"Cool. And his name is Mark, I assume?" She asks. I nod. "Cool." She says again. We continue heading to the parking lot when... 

"Jack!" I freeze in my tracks. Was that... I turn. 

"Brittany." I say, watching the blonde run up to me. She's wearing her normal cheerleading outfit from camp, where I met her. Kate turns as well. 

"Jack, who's this?" She asks. I continue staring at Brittany. 

"Um, another friend. Kate, I'll meet you at the car, okay?" I say. 

"Uh... Yeah, okay." Kate says and with that I hear her footsteps retreat. Brittany chuckles. 

"Thank god I caught up with you." She says. I nod. 

"Yeah sure, what's going on?" I ask. Brittany looks at me with a smile, looking me up and down. 

"You look good." She says. I shrug. 

"Thanks?" I say, not really getting the point of her interrupting me going to my wonderful retreat that is home. 

"What? You aren't gonna return the compliment?" She asks. I shrug. 

"You look good too." I say, staring at her with a slight confused expression. Brittany smiles and twirls her hair. 

"Well thank you." She says. I roll my eyes. No more cute tricks. 

"Okay, Brittany, what is this about?" I ask. She scoffs. 

"Fine. Listen I need to talk to you about something. Something important." She says. I silently urge her to continue... But after she does I wish I didn't.

A/N: Anyone who can tell me what video the pants reference is from is immediately a new friend of mine.
