Chapter 4

ZACK POV

Damn, I forget the neither Brad nor the guys was in the same class with me. Now, how am I going to find out her name? I can't call Amy and asked her caused she will ask me a lot of questions before I could get an answer from her. God, I need think fast. Realizing my English teacher was not in yet I quickly dashed out of the classroom and went directly to the office.

"Hey, Mary," I greeted the reception with sweetest voice as possible. "You looked beautiful today."

"Why, Zack," she responded shyly. "You look not bad yourselves. What can I do for you?" she asked sweetly.

 "Oh, Mary, you know me too well," I smiled sweetly at her. "I need a favor from you."

 "Anything for you my dear Zack," she replied. God she's flirting with me. Doesn't she realize that I'm half her age?  I felt like I'm going to puke but controlled.

Still smiling at her I said, "Is there a new girl in school?"

 "Yes, why?" she asked seriously.

 "Well, my mom and her mom used to be friends and my mom asked me to look for her but she's forgot her name.  You think you could give me her full name?" I lied still smiling sweetly that I think my face going to cramped.

 "Oh, she's Jenny Cunningham's cousin," she said and I nodded. "Let me see, what her name?" looking through the files on her desk.

 "Ah, yes, her full name is Zara Sofea Duncan," she smiled. "She used to stay in Malaysia and now she's staying with the Cunningham. Hey, her locker is somewhere near yours."

I leaned over her desk and kissed her on cheek, "Thanks Mary, you're a darling. I owe you one." I quickly ran back to my class and received a deathly glare from my teacher but as usual I managed to charm her and walked to my table without being asking any questions.

The bell rang indicating end of the period. I quickly closed my book and walked to her classroom. I peeked in and saw she was looking for her schedule which was with me. I saw her quickly closed her book and dashed out of the class.

ZARA POV

The bell rang indicating end of the period. I closed my book and trying to find my schedule. What's my next class? Is it Economics or History? Where is my damn schedule? Oh no. I just remember. Zack took it. Damn him.

Putting my Geography book into my backpack I quickly make my way to the door hoping to avoid Zack.

"Hai Zara", it was Zack waiting at the door. "What's the rush? You not running from me, are you?"

"No, of course not", I answered him nervously. "I just don't what to be late for class that's all". SHIT. He knows my name. Not full name I hope.

"Well your next subject is History, which is again next to my class", he said while reading my schedule in his hand.

"Can I have my schedule back, please?!!" I gritted my teeth trying to control myself from screaming at him and at the same time trying to grab my schedule from him.

"Um, um, no," he shook his head and lifted the schedule high up out of my reach, "I'll hold on to this till end of the day. I don't want you get away from me."

"You only know my first name. So as a gentleman, you are to keep to your promise and leave me alone". I sneered at him

"Who says I only know your first name, Zara Sofea Duncan. A very beautiful name just like the person herself," he smiled and my jaws dropped so wide.

He continued with a proud smile, "I also know that you came from Malaysia, you're Jenny Cunningham cousin and you're now staying with them." Lowering his head he whispered to my ears, "Your first day here was the same night we've kissed."

I just stared at him in shock. God! How did he found out about this in a very short period? Brad must be the on who told him. Shit! I've should have known. Stupid! Stupid! I hit my head with my palm scolding myself.

"What wrong?" he asked looking at me with a smile.

"Nothing," I shook my head. "How do you know all this?" I curiously asked him.

"Well, I've told you everyone here loves me. I can easily get any information I want," he arrogantly smiled.

"Ok. Congrats. You really are good. Now excuse me, I have a class to attend," I said pushing him away from me.

He was faster. He managed to grabbed my hand stopping me, "You class is next to mine again, we'll go together. I'll keep the schedule for you for today," he said putting my schedule in his backpack. He slipped his fingers with mine. I tried to wiggle it off but as usual he was so strong.

Urgh! I hate this guy. I wished I could just bite his hand. They look very delicious at this moment. His hand was so soft against mine. If he was my boyfriend I would be really thrilled holding his hand.

I just follow him quietly to my next class. Every eyes were looking at us as we're walking together holding hands like a couple. Well, I sure they must be thinking that I 'm his next "victim". I heard one girl said that in my Geography class just now. I could just kill myself. No. Maybe I could just kill him. Urgh! I just wanted to yell at him. Urgh!!

He finally let my hand go when we reached my class, "Ok babe. I see you after class", and he kissed my cheek.

I was stunned again for the second time and again I was unable to move or say anything back to him. I just look at him walking to his class, which was again next to mine. He turned around before entering his class giving me a flying kiss again.

As soon as the class finished, I slowly closed my book. I sighed and put my head on the table. Zack will be waiting for me at the door. Definitely, that's for sure. God, I wished I could stay in this class forever. Why does he have to make my beautiful day miserable? I was so happy this morning and now I feel like I crying. Urgh! I hate him! Hate him! I hit my head on the table softly (well I didn't want to hurt myself if I hit it hard).

"Hey! What you're doing babe? You'll be late for class." Oh god! Here we go again!

"Don't call me babe!!!" I gritted my teeth again. I seem to be doing that quite often ever since I bumped into him today. I stood up angrily and gather my books and backpack intending to walk to the next class.

"Not so fast" he said grabbing my hand.

"Will you stop holding my hand? Just tell me where my next class is?" I said and wiggled my hand. (Again, Ugh!)

"Don't worry babe, I'll take you there. Come now." he said smiling sweetly without letting my hand go. Instead he gripped harder.

"Urgh!! I don't want to go with you! I can go there myself and stop calling me babe!!" I yelled at him didn't bother if everyone could hear me and wiggling my hand harder. God he's so strong. I still couldn't get my hand off.

He shook his head "Um, um, no can do. I've told you that once I get to know your name, I'm not leaving you alone. I'm a gentleman. I always keeps to my words," smirking at me.

I give up on this guy! I just give up! I followed him to my next class which actually at the same floor.

"Hey! Zara," yelled Amy approaching us. "Hey! Zack, I see you two have met."

"Yeah we have, at your party actually," replied Zack smiling and letting my hand go. I glared at him. Damn. He told her. I'm going to be swearing a lot today.

"Really? That good! She's the one that I've been trying to introduce to you this morning but you were too busy, She's Jenny's cousins and her locker is somewhere near yours." informed Amy excitedly.

"Yep I know. She came to my locker asking for directions to her next class, and you know what? She has agreed to go out with me tonight, to thank me for helping her," he lied. I glared at him. Why does he have to tell her? I just want to kill myself.

"Wow, you two are fast. Anyway you two look great together. I am so happy," she's babbling and hugged me. Zack was smiling widely looking at me. I rolled my eyes at him.

 "Ok. I'm off to my class, I see you later," he winked at me. I just keep on glaring at him and poked my tongue at him. He smiled and walked away.

Amy was in the same class with me and she made me sat besides her. Luckily she did not asked further about what happened between me and Zack. My last class for the day was Art and again with Amy. Thank god, I said to myself. I could walk with her to the next class. Maybe Zack class on the other floor and he won't be waiting for me. My happiness short lived. I saw him waiting at the stairs below. I saw the girls are giggling and smiling at him trying to get his attention but he just ignored them. He had a boring face but when he saw Amy and me, his face light up and smiled at us. I again glared at him. God I glared a lot half of the day and I think my eyes might poked out.

"Ladies," He sounds so gentlemanly. If he haven't been harassing me I might smiles at him, instead I just glared (again, help me count, please) and rolled my eyes.

"Zara you last class for the day is Art." He told me.

"How do you know?" asked Amy.

"Oh! She asked me to keep her schedule for her caused she's scared she might loose it," he lied again.

"No I didn't. He stole it! Give me back my schedule!" I tried to grab it from him.

"Nope," he raised the schedule high up again. I tried to jump to catch it but he managed to hold it higher, damn him. "I'll give it to you later at the end of the day," he simply told me.  

"Fine! Just keep it. I'll get a new one tomorrow. It's no big deal." I told him.

"Come Amy lets go." I said dragging Amy arm and walked away. Amy smiled and waved at him.

"Hey. Wait up, Zara," he yelled. I ignored him and suddenly he's in front of me blocking my way. Boy was he fast.

"Zara, I'll see you after school," with that he kissed my cheek and walked the opposite direction.

I'm just stunned and froze. "Wow, he really likes you" whined Amy.

"No he didn't. I'm just his next victim," I rolled my eyes irritated with his action.

"What make you say that?" Amy asked.

"Well he's a player right. He definitely would like to try on a new, naïve girl like me. I'll show him who naïve. I'll will make him regret he ever know me." I gathered my finger into a fist while saying this.

Amy laughed and said "I can't wait to see what happen in the end."
