16- Friendzone
Zach's POV
I sat on my bed, staring at Ted as he teaches me about world history. Two days have passed since that incident and we haven't talked about it. All I know is that Ted knew it was me which I don't know how he knew.
Like, I have been so subtle about it. Sure, I would sometimes slip and call him Jorgey but I'm pretty sure he didn't notice them. When I thought I had figured out my thoughts and feelings for Teddy, yes, I call him Teddy sometimes, it's cuter, this came plowing through my mind.
"Zachary Kaiden Wilson, for the millionth time, stop getting distracted," He said, clapping his hands in front of my face.
"Oh sorry," I apologized and he continued.
"How did you know?" I couldn't help but ask. I know myself and I know my mind wouldn't be at ease until I find out how he knew.
"Know what?"
"How did you know that I was texting you the whole time?"
"I don't know about the whole time but a lot of the times I suspected it was you," he answered.
"What did you suspected?"
"Well, it seems like you were happy, too happy when we talk about you, especially the kiss," he said with a smirk.
Speaking of the kiss, I have been dying to kiss those lips again. I crave for its feeling against my lips, I crave its sweet taste. Even thinking about it makes me want it more, but I can't.
That kiss was just a dare and will always be a dare.
"Speaking of that kiss, ever since that, you haven't stopped staring at my lips," he continued, slowly coming closer to me.
I laughed at what he said but he didn't stop moving towards me. Someone pinch me and tell me this is not a dream.
"It's like... you want to kiss them again," he said, his lips centimeters away from mine.
When I couldn't take it anymore, I moved my head closer so that our lips would touch but it was gone before I knew it.
"Not so fast. You still suck at world history so you better pay attention," he said, flipping through the notes.
He's such a tease! Like, can't he at least make them touch?! This is literally torture!
"Tease," I mocked.
"If you pay attention to what I'm teaching you, maybe it wouldn't be a tease," he said seductively.
Oooh, I like this side of Teddy.
"Okay, I'll pay attention, Jorgey," I said.
"As you should, Kai," he laughed and we continued.

Ted's POV
I sat beside Tessa in my AP World History class, still processing what happened yesterday. I can't believe I said that! That is so not me. I didn't even know I had that seductive side!
"Hey, how's that tutoring going? Has Zach been giving you trouble?" Tessa asked.
"It's doing good, besides the fact that Zach always gets distracted by my beautiful face," I joked.
"But besides him always getting distracted, it's doing great," I answered.
"Oh, ok. But does he really get distracted by your face?" She asked.
"Yeah, especially my lips," I answered with a smirk.
"Something happened between the two of you that you didn't tell me, did you?"
"Maybe."
"Ted! We're twins! We tell everything to each other!" She protested.
"Yeah, but you didn't tell me what's happening between you and Alex," I said in defense.
"Touche, but tell me!"
"Okay, okay. I had my first kiss slash make-out session and my first date with him," I finally answered.
"Oh my god! All that happened and you didn't tell me?! Zach is so goin-" She shouted, getting attention from the class.
"Tessa, shut up! We're in the middle of class!" I whisper shouted. Tessa apologized to the class and Mrs. Burris and continued.
"We'll talk about this later," she said.
Class ended and as Tessa and I were walking out of the room, Mrs. Burris called me. I walked over to her and she asked me about the tutoring.
"So, how is your tutoring going?"
"It's doing great. Zach went from know nothing to knowing a little bit. Probably in the next three weeks, he'll be good on his own," I explained and she smiled in response.
I then went to my third class which was AP English Literature. Like always, class is class and it's still boring.
Once in a blue moon, I would let my thoughts take over me. I would disregard everything happening around me and would just think about what's on my mind. Like a memory or something I really want.
I let my mind think of something, something that I would never forget. Then, a memory pops up. The night when we played truth or dare.
I remember everything that happened like it happened yesterday. The place we were at, each question and dare we gave, I still remember them, especially that kiss.
The way it felt on my lips, the way it tastes, it was perfect. And for my first time, I think I did well.
"Ted," Our teacher called, catching me off guard.
"Yes Ma'am?"
"What is Shakespeare famous for?"
"Shakespeare is famous for his blockbuster plays of his day. Namely, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet," I answered and sat down.
That was a close one.
After that class, I had German class, which I have with Kaden. I don't know how to say this but, I don't like Kaden. Not now, not in the future, not ever. I just see him as a very good friend.
I sat beside Kaden, like always, and waited for him to talk. God, I hate this. I don't want to hurt his feelings but if I don't tell him, it's going to hurt more.
"Hey, Ted. Do you have plans this weekend? We could hang out this Saturday," He said.
"Look, Kaden, I don't want to hurt your feelings but I don't like you. Believe me when I say I don't want you to put you in the friendzone but I just think we're better of as friends," I told him.
"Oh... ok," he said with a nod.
"Do you still want to hang out this Saturday?" He then asked shyly.
"Of course!" I said and he smiled.
After an hour of this class, the bell finally rang and it was lunch. I walked to Sam's locker with Kaden and noticed that Tessa and Zach were with them. Oh no, this is bad.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" I ask Tessa.
"I just wanted to spend time with my twin," she said but I know that isn't the real reason.
"So, let's get going," she said and she started walking.
We started walking with her and giving Sam and Lai the look that's something's gonna happen. They gave me the same look which made me even more nervous.
We got to to the cafeteria and got our food. The six of us l Sam, Lai, Tessa, Zach, Kaden, and I, sat at our table. All I can say that the six of us together are a recipe for disaster.
"So, Ted, can you tell me what happened these past two weeks?" She said, making me sweat.
"Um... ahh, what do you mean?" I nervously laughed.
"Ted uh... Ted had a sleepover at Sam's house," Lai said, trying to help.
"I know but what I mean is what happened between you and that person," she said, glaring at Zach.
God, the last time Tessa was like this was when one of the notorious bullies, Aiden, beat me up. She made me sit with them as Tessa interrogated Aiden and his friends. A lot of stuff happened that led to the two of them in the principal's office with a three-day suspension.
"Tessa, stop interrogating your twin. Can't you see how sc-"
"What did you and Ted do?!" She cut off.
"I took him out on a date and um... shared a kiss," he said nervously.
"You sure it was just a kiss?" Sam said with a smirk.
"Wait, Zach's gay?" Kaden asked.
"If you didn't catch the kiss and the date then yes, he is gay, I think?" Lai explained.
"Yes, I am gay, ok? And it was a dare. A dare that I would never forget," he said, smiling at me.
"Ok. Then what are you and Ted?" She asked.
"Uh... human?" He said confused. Sam, Lai, Kaden, and I started laughing as Tessa facepalmed.
"No, what I mean is what's your label? Dating?"
"Friends," I answered quickly before Zach could say anything. Tessa just nodded and we continued to eat lunch in silence.
"So, the contest is tomorrow. You wanna practice after your tutor session with Zach my house? Lai is also coming over," Sam whispered to me and I agreed.
Get ready Ted, this contest could be life-changing so you better not mess this up.
