JUNIOR YEAR

Mallory's POV

A few months after school started we had ordered our class rings and they were in today we had to stop in the gym and pick them up I had chosen a green stone with a silver band. I walk in the gym get my ring then look for Zak and see him sitting in the corner of the bleachers alone I walk over then sit down next to him he opens the small pouch and his ring falls in his hand it was a large black ring with a green stone, he pulls a silver chain off his neck and puts the ring on it then puts it around my neck I put mine on a chain and give it to him he puts it on then sticks it inside his shirt. He looks at me "We've been friends since we were freshman and I'm ready for the two of us to be more will you be my girlfriend?" I was surprised but happy I had hoped this would happen it was against the rules, but I didn't care if I got detention I kiss him then pull away. "I'd love to."

Zak's POV

I was happy with her I knew she was something special I was glad she walked into my homeroom a few years ago I reach over then hold her hand and she looks at me I smile at her "you've made me really happy I know that the two of us will be together for a long time." She laughs and hugs me. The bell rings and it's time for us to go to lunch I climb down the bleachers then hold my hand out she takes it and we walk into the cafeteria and sit down after we get our food. I think about the chance of us having a future together and wonder if we will be together after college.


A FEW DAYS LATER

Mallory's POV

I roll over when my bedroom door opens and see Zak walking in the room I didn't want him to see me like this, my hair was in a messy bun, my eyes had dark circles around them, I looked as awful as I felt I liked Zak but I didn't want to see him. I grab the blanket and pull the cover over my head I feel him sit down on the bed then he starts rubbing my legs "You're still beautiful you always will be to me no matter how sick you are sweetie." He pulls the cover back and I look at him he makes a funny face and I start laughing he lays next to me and I lay my head on his shoulder he kisses my head and I close my eyes. I yawn then fall asleep in his arms.
