Chapter 5

As always I woke up pretty late . I layed on my bed for 20 minutes playing video games on my phone , suddenly a notification popped up. It's from the competition director saying that my application is accepted and my first round would be held at Dallas after 2 weeks. After reading that my mood became instantly better. Since i was very happy I put on my special BLACK hoodie took my new BLACK skateboard and went to the cafeteria and treated myself with a giant meal plus two jumbo puddings.

Then I went to the library and studied there for 7 hours about hacking. RING RING RING I checked my phone and saw that I had an incoming call from Jackson . I picked up.

"What's up man " I said.

"Hey , you remember about tomorrow right ?" questioned Jackson.

"What?"

"Don't tell me that you forgot that we had to go to the trip tomorrow" Jackson said flatly.

"Of course , of course I remember , how can I forget" I lied.

"Yeah , yeah I know . Look I just called to remind you that we all will meet tomorrow at 10:00 am at the restaurant , have lunch and we'll go the bus station from there.And don't be late everyone knows how much you sleep" Replied Jackson.

"Sure "

"And yeah I've heard that Amy and krystal would be bringing one of their friend's with them on the trip ."

"Okay...."

" If nothing else I'll talk with you tomorrow"

"Yea-"

And he hung up the phone on me. ME , his clOsESt fRiENd.

Next day rolls around. Same as usual , I woke up late . I splashed water on my face but this time I wore a GREY hoodie and took my GREY skateboard and rushed to the restaurant. when I reached there it was already 10:10. I went inside saw all my friends sitting together and sat on the only empty seat and greeted everyone. Then my eyes fell upon that same freaking beautiful girl who keeps following me.

"Why the HELL is SHE he-" I was about to complain when she splashed ice cold water on my face.

" Just shut your mouth , I've already heard enough of your nonsense" She replied

All of my friends tried to calm me and her down. But she made my grey hoodie wet TT.

"Ahmmm Ahmmm , Mark Alex is here because we invited her.And basically her parents own the hotel in which we will be staying in . So a big thank you to them for letting us stay there for free."

"Thaaannk youuu!!!" Everyone said in unison except me.

"Mark"Scolded Krystal.

"Okay , okay thanks" I said flatly.

"Hmmm" Alex replied.

"Sir ,Madam, what would you guys would like to order?" asked the head waiter.

While most of us ordered normal sized fast food . Alex decided to order an extravagant meal for herself which probably cost more than all of our orders combined. Now that I look at the interior of this place it is not one those regular cheap restaurant where we usually go. It is an expensive place were average college students like us don't usually go. The food we ordered was delicious , nothing like this I ever ate before. After we finished our meal we were about to pay the bill but when Alex offered to pay the bill all by herself. We all politely tried to decline , but she still insisted and paid the bill. On seeing that my respect for her instantly increased.

Then Alex told us to not go the bus station because her parents arranged a private bus us which will pick us up from here . But there was a little problem with the driver so it will arrive after 2 hours. So we all decided to go the skate park nearby and have some fun till then. In the skatepark we had too much fun . All the guys were showing off their new tricks and stuff which they recently learned. The girls were cheering for us .

While all of us were having a blast , Alex sat far away from us writing something in what looks like a diary. Suddenly a guy appeared out of nowhere grabbed her one hand and put his second hand on her waist and started to take her away. Alex let out a cry for help.When I looked at the guy touching her like that I don't know what came over me , I became so angry . I rushed over there and started punching him in the face one after the other until my hand started to pain and his face became all bloodied . All the guys started to rescue him from me , but I still wanted to beat the shit out of him.

"Mark Stop otherwise he'll die " Eric shouted at me.

"Mark stop he already got what he deserved" Said Justin.

"Just let him go"said Jackson while trying to calm me down.

And Michael got him out of my clutches and took him in the cornor.Then Eric gave him 500 dollar to keep his mouth shut about the fight and not go to the police.
