Mark is a football player at the school and he’s skeptical of [Pettyer's Number Four] because he’s trying to move in on his ex-girlfriend. He’s the high school jock who’s just loaded with insecurities. He masks them with his bravado and intimidation, but he’s threatened because this new kid is coming to school and there’s a lot of attention on him. A lot is happening around him.
