Floating and Sinking

Zephyr

"Today, Zephyr is sitting with Miss McKenzie, you will have to lab with the two of them, unless we get another student." Mrs. Kimmel says. Matt smiles and walks over to Zephyr and I. He kisses my neck and pulls up a chair.

"Miss me?" he asks. I roll my eyes.

"Care to share Miss Denverson?" the chemistry teaches asks. I shake my head no.

"Nothing's going on." I say. I don't see Zephyr until lunch. "Hey!" I say.

"Kenzie, you're one of them." he says.

"One of who?" I ask.

"The populars." he says.

"What's wrong with that?" I ask him.

"We both know what's wrong with that." Zephyr says. Suddenly, I get an image in my head, Zephyr is being bullied, pushed, and hurt. I quickly blink the image away.

"You can't just write people off." I say "Where are you sitting."

"Over there." he says, pointing to a lonely table on the edge of the lunchroom.

"Ok." I say and I walk over to where my friends are and I sit down.

"Who wants to go sit with Zephyr?" I ask.

"And lose this wonderful centre table?" Connor asks sarcastically "I think I'll pass." He's one of those jocks that I don't like. "Anyway, Matt would be mad." Oh yea, Connor and the rest of the guys at school worship Matt.

"I'm going." I say, picking up my Subway meal and walking over to Zephyr's table. My friends: Vegas, Destiny, Eloise, and Charlotte come with me and soon Harper and Tiffany come.

"You seriously brought all these people here?" Zephyr asks.

"Maybe you can make friends." I say.

"I'm not good at that." he says.

"Never too late to learn." I say. "You buy lunch?"

"Yea, no I made this myself." Zephyr says. I smile.

"What's your number?" I ask.

"What?" he asks.

"Your phone number." I say.

"I'll put it in." he says. I hand him my iPhone5s and he gapes at it.

"Never seen a phone before?" I ask jokingly. He puts his number in and soon, the rest of the table hands them their iPhones so Zephyr can type in his number. I dial his number and he pulls out a blackberry. Eloise holds back a laugh and I send her a look saying 'Don't you dare'.

"Seriously?" he asks.

"Now you have my number." I say.

"Uh-oh" Vegas says.

"What?" I ask, looking at her.

"Matt is angry." she says. "Want me to cover for you?"

"Thanks, I'll be in the restroom." I say, grabbing my laptop and sandwich trash. I dump the trash as I rush out of the cafeteria and into the bathroom. All of our school work is done on a laptop. I use my personal Mac, but lower income families borrow one from the school. I quickly go into the bathroom and come out a minute later. Matt is outside the door.

"Hey babe." he says, kissing my cheek.

"Let's go to sports early." I say. He does basketball and I do cheer in sports. I also do competition cheer outside of school. During the spring, I play softball and do cheer and in the summer, I do horseback riding and cheer. My family owns some stables that I run and sometimes, I race our horses in big races. I've won millions of dollars for my family. When I say I run the stables, I mean that I'm in charge of it. I only work the stables during the summer. But I'm in charge year-round. I buy horses, sell them, breed them, and race them. We have three champion, undefeated horses out of the thirty there are. When we get to the sports wing, we are early so we do what any other high school couple would do. We kiss for the five remaining minutes. Matt backs me into a corner and places his hands on my waist. My arms are wrapped around his neck, keeping him close to me. We kiss until someone taps Matt's shoulder.

"I'm a little busy." he says in between kisses. I open my eyes and see Vice Principal Jameson. I stop the kiss and motion for Matt to turn around. He does and sees Jameson.

"Detention for both of you. No PDA at school." Jameson says, handing us both pink slips.

"Wanna make out in detention?" he asks. I ruffle his hair and as soon as Jameson is gone, I kiss Matt again. This time, it was a small kiss. A minute later, the bell rings and we go to our sport area. I don't see Zephyr for the rest of the day.

*current time*

I just got out of detention and I'm on my way to the Denverson Stables, it's 10 minutes away and I need to check up on my horses.
