"I choose,...Zach." I say, Michael shrugs and walks to his car cursing under his breath.

Bryan starts to tear up and leaves with a sad smile for himself, but a happy one for me.

Then leaves, Zach looks at me and smiles. "So, what was that news you wanted to tell me?" I ask.

"Well, I was gonna ask you out, what would you say?" "I'd say, mmmh, yes!" He smiles and kisses me.

He pulls away and spins me. "Now, now, no more dancing we must scurry of to school." He says, I swing my bag over my shoulder and we walk out.

The awkward moments between Zach and I ended. But the ones between Bryan and I just began

I bite into my sandwich I got for lunch. The flavours are all screwed up and taste like hell.

I throw away my lunch and start walking with Zach. We hold hands and stay close to eachother, he pecks my cheek and they flush with warmth and color.

"Look, I'm sorry if you felt I ever lead you on. I did like you but then I also liked Bryan. So, yah." I say.

"And do you still like Bryan?" Yes, "no." I say to him lying, "good, cause your mine. My special jem."

"That's my nickname?" I question, he nods, "do you not like it?" He asks, "no, it was just unexpected." I say.

He nods and an awkward silence falls, darn you awkwardness. "So do you wanna come to my house after school?" He nods.

"Cool."

Zach and I sit on the barstools tucked into the kitchen island.
We are eating big mountains of ice cream.

I take spoonfuls and shove them in my mouth. After ten minutes we finish and sit on the couch together.

"So, what do you wanna do?" He shrugs, "When will your mom and dad be home?" He asks.

"My dad and mom will be home in an hour." I say

"Well, I feel awkward here without patents." He says, "don't my parents are totally cool." I sy

"Gosh I'm stuffed." I say looking  down at my stomach. "I probably gained like five pounds." "Oh shutup, your beautiful." He says, I smile at the comment and we then watch our movie.

I'm walking to the cafeteria for lunch when Bryan grabs my arm. "Hey, how's your boyfriend?" He asks, "good." I say.

"What about you?" "What about me what?" He asks, "who are you dating?" "Ha, um, no-one."

"But I do like somone, she's so sweet, funny, and she's freaking adorable. She acts insacurre but she should know she is prettier then anyone or anything. She is so caring and she listens to me." He says.

"Sounds like a keeper."I nudge his shoulder, "huh yah, but I think she already fell hard for someone else."

"Sorry, well gtg. Zach's probably waiting for me, bye." I say, then walk off.

I sit next to Zach and he already got me my tray of lunch. Spaghetti with mini meatballs, bread, and a milk.

"Looks yummy, thanks." I say, I take a noodle and slurp it. The tamatoey sauce splatters on the apple of my cheeks.

Then Zach gets a napkin and wipes my cheeks which causes me to let out that cute girly snort.

Curse you snort flaw! "Your laugh is the cutest thing ever." He says, "really, I always consider it a butt ugly flaw."

He chuckles, "no it's perfect." I go back to eating my spaghetti and meatballs. When we finish we clean up.

I pop a piece of spearemint gum in my mouth popping a flavour crystal.

The mintiness makes my mouth tingle, and then a pool of saliva forms.

The bell rings through my ears, and I hug Zach. "Bye, meet me after school. We can walk to my house." He says, then heads to his p.e. class.

I start heading to my elective

, clothes desighn. Today I should finish my dress and be able to take it home.

I'd say my dress turned out pretty amazing. Maybe I'll wear it to the dance on Friday.

That way all eyes will be on me. Like Bryan's. What does that matter, he found someone else.

But he said she doesn't like him. Stop you have a boyfriend. Whatever. I go to the bathroom and take all my clothes off.

First I check my weight. 120, perfect. Then I place my feet on the floor of the shower.

The hot water runs down my body and steam collects in the air. After a couple of minutes I get out and slip into my pajamas.

I crawl into my covers and close my eyes. Music surrounds me since it plays in the back.

Then... I... drift... o...

"Honey come on get up. You have thirty minutes!" My mom yells, she rips the covers off my body and I feel cold instantly.

I get up and put on a cute outfit.

Then throw on a jean jacket that matches my jeans. I fix my make up and walk downstairs.

I go to the car  and get in it. I begin driving to school before I'm late.
