•CHAPTER 1•
Prologue:
" hey! I'm Annie!" I scream from across the slide.
"Hi, I-I'm Zach". He stutters.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"DON'T!" I yell to Zach. ( pronounced Zack)
"I'll do it if you don't give it to me!" He teases me.
I shake my head, refusing.
"Ohh, Tyl-" Zach threatens me.
"Okay! Fine, here it is" I take out our math homework from last night out of my bag and hand it to him. I don't usually give up that easy, but I CANNOT let Tyler know that I like him! If he found out then I would probably have to move schools, cities, states, countries... everything.
Tyler is the most popular guy in school and
(Of course) he's dating the most popular girl in school, Maddison Haggler.
" I knew you'd give up sooner or later.", Zach smirks at me.
"Ha ha... very funny" I say in a very non-humorous laugh.
Zach and I have been friends since we were eight years old. Zach has been there for me through everything when no one else was... he's my best friend and I have told everything from crushes and fears to my deepest, darkest secrets. Zach is tall and the head of the football team, so he is pretty popular... on the other hand, I'm short, don't play sports...at the school at least... and I'm not so popular.
As soon as Zach opens his mouth to speak, the bell rings to go to class.
"I'll talk to you later"
"See ya" he replies cheekily.
***
I walk out of school and wait on Zach to get his butt out of his class. The last class he has is
Mr. Carpenter ( English). Mr. Carpenter always keeps his classes longer then every other teacher, he always says ' the bell doesn't dismiss you, I do', but if that's true... then why exactly is there a bell in the first place?
While I'm waiting, I start to get cold and slowly develop a slight shiver. But, I guess that makes since because it is the middle of December.
"Annie!" I hear a familiar voice say from behind me.
"Zach!" I turn around.
"Aww! Poor Annie is cold." He jokes and takes off his jacket," here, take mine"
" you didn't have to give it to me but I'm not gonna refuse it" I take it from his hand.
We walk to his car.
"For you, my lady!" Zach opens the door for me.
"Why, thank you!" I reply and hop in.
He shuts the door and get in the drivers seat and starts the car up.
While driving down the road, we listen to music and scream out the lyrics at the top of our lungs until our voices run out!
***
"I'll see you tomorrow" his voice cracks.
Before I could even start my sentence I start laughing hysterically. Zach didn't find it funny at first but slowly started to laugh. After laughing for about ten minutes, I walk to my house door and unlock it and walk inside.
