The bell rang signifying the end of your test. You smiled to yourself, it wasn't nearly as hard as you imagined, which gave you a bit of joy.
You waited till your test was taken up before beginning to pack your bag. You looked back at the clock and it was exactly 12:30.
You left the classroom not before taking your phone back from your teacher. You
You opened it and saw texts from your aunts and uncles wishing you luck in your exams, you opened SnapChat and began texting Aiana.
You:
I'm finished my test, where do you wanna meet?
QueenA💎:
I'm about 5 minutes, give or take, away, just wait at the front and I'll collect you❤
You nodded to yourself and started making your way to the front of the school, unluckily for you, your test room was on the other side of the school, at least you wont be waiting for ages.
You were walking down the hallway, looking through instagram, when someone called your name.
"Y/n!"
You turned, rather quickly, not watching where you were going and had lost your footing on the now present stairs.
Out of instinct, you threw your phone to allow your hands to grab onto anything, but also, out of instinct, closing your eyes preparing for impact.
When you came back from shock, you heard a faint voice,
"Y/n? Are you okay?"
You felt your hands tight in a grip or fear, your body was stiff and your eyes refused to open, but with your curiosity you opened them slowly, coming face to face with Mark's worried face.
Realising you've just done the most basic scene in any high school drama your face goes a prominent red, before you began to nod your head.
Once Mark realised you weren't hurt, he set you back up, you were still embarrassed, and he was as well, even tho he wouldn't admit it.
"Sorry about startling you, I should've been more careful."
Mark said quietly, while rubbing the nape of his neck, you shook your head at him, slightly reaching your hand towards his arm,
"No, don't apologize, I'm the one who wasn't looking where I was going."
You said while smiling softly at him, he stared at your smile, the more he looked at it the more it became stuck in his head. He smiled back at you,
"Well, seems as tho you're still as clumsy as ever."
He said chuckling at the end, you rolled your eyes at that statement, but the blush still remained evident on your cheeks.
"Well, for safety reasons, I'm gonna walk you to meet Aiana."
He said before grabbing your hand in his before hopping down the stairs. You don't even get a say in this, but the feeling of Mark holding your hand is something you don't want to pull away from.
You smiled at his head, as he walked ahead of you, dragging you down the stairs. When you reached the ground floor, neither of you let go of each other, both enjoying each others touch.
You two walked in a comfortable silence, a light pink dusted both of your cheeks. You two didn't look at each other, only stealing side glances when the other wasn't.
"So where are you meeting Aiana?"
Mark said in a quiet tone, looking ahead of him. You looked at his side profile, admiring how handsome he looked.
Noticing the lack of response Mark side glanced at you, catching your gaze, causing your blush to deepen a bit.
"Um, at the front of the school."
He nodded smiling to himself, before opening the door to the school, letting you exit first, before closing it after himself.
With him opening the door, he had let go of your hand. Both of you wanting to go back to holding hands, but neither wishing to make the right move.
"(Y/n)?"
Mark said softly, you turned around to face him, he was looking down at the floor, and playing with his fingers,
"I gotta tell you something,"
He said slowly, your heart began to quicken its pace. Mark feared he was gonna have a heart attack by how fast his was going.
He exhaled before looking up at you,
"I.."
"(Y/N)!!"
Aiana ran to you, encasing you in a big hug, noticing you weren't hugging back, she retracted and saw the scene before her.
"Did, I um, interrupt something?"
She asked warily, Mark was flushed before shaking his head,
"No, I was just gonna say, um, that I hope you did great on the exam (y/n), see you around, bye guys."
And with that he ran off towards his friends. Aiana looked at you, sorrow in her eyes.
You looked at her and noticed her sadness, you put a big smile on, before saying,
"Ice cream?"
She rolled her eyes at you, before giggling and taking your arm before walking to the ice cream shop.

Mark and his friends were currently at a diner, eating whatever they had ordered and messing around.
He remained quiet tho, he kept thinking back to when it you just you and him,
What was he going to say? Why was he going to say that?
His friends had noticed his quietness and tried to get his attention by calling his name.
But Mark was just staring at his phone. His friend Taeyoung sighed loudly before pulling his phone out and began typing.
