Fake • Zach Herron

T W O

lunchtime

I sat at our normal table in the cafeteria and set my lunch box on it.
"hey J" Lola said smiling as she sat down
"hi" I returned the smile, I began to talk to her as someone sat down next to me, I was expecting to see Annie but no, it was Zach
"oh hey" I said
"you ready to you know..?" he asked, I remembered he was going to tell me about the 'rules'
"oh sure, yeah" I stood up "sorry Lo, ill be back in a sec though"
"yeah its fine" she began to eat her sandwich as Zach dragged me to a table right at the end of the Cafeteria, he sat me down across from him and began to speak

"so, these are the rules" he got about the notes app on his phone
"hold up, dont i get to make some rules too?" I asked crossing my arms
"maybe you do, maybe you dont" he smirked at me "anyway, my rules.. we are going to act like a normal couple - so like hold hands, hug, text, laugh and joke with eachother, kiss, you know the norm" he read out
"only around Alexis right?" I asked picking out a biscuit from my lunch box
"no, it has to be all the time"
"and you think this is a good idea?" I asked
he shrugged "maybe, but maybe not - ugh I dont know we are just going to have to test it out alright?"
I sighed loudly "okay, I'm only going to do it under one condition" I said, he looked at me with his eyebrows raised
"Lola, Hallie and Annie get to know that its fake"
"fine - just make sure they dont tell anyone"
I nodded
"oh and - I get to brake up with you in the end" I sent him a little smile
"nah I should end it with you - so you know, people realise im actually over you"
"what if you make me cry" my face dropping
he chucked "I wo-"
"yes you will - ive seen you do It to other girls"
"oh shut it" he laughed and moved over to sit next to me, he broke my biscuit and ate the part he broke off. I gave him the rest of the bar and he moved up closer to me
"are you okay... you dont share food" he said
I giggled "I got to share with my boyfriend right"
he chucked and thought about something for a second "girlfriend... that is so weird - like I dont do girlfriends or like dates" he said
"yeah ive kinda noticed" I pulled out my sandwich and I took a bite, as I did he slipped his hand down onto my butt making me jump. then he took a bite out of my sandwich, I looked at him in shock

"that's not yours" I said and pulled the sandwich out of his mouth.
he swallowed the food "right we should go tell everyone we are together"
"no" I said
"oh right - so you want to stay here with me and make out?"
I looked and him and stood up fast "no thanks, bye" I laughed. he put his hand on my waist and stood to face me, he kissed my cheek before letting me walk back to my friends. when I got to the table Annie's Jaw was practically touching the floor
"whats wrong with her?" I asked Lola as I sat, she said nothing
"why the fuck did Zach just kiss you?" annie finally said
I sighed "come here" I patted the seat next to me
"Zach and I are going to fake date so he can make Alexis jealous" I whispered
"your not serious?"
I nodded
"is this even a good idea?" she asked
"probably not " I laughed a bit "its not a big deal though - I mean"
"oh jess its a huge deal! your going to get hurt"
"no I wont" I shrugged
"it takes what? a day to fall in love with Zach Herron, and then when he brakes up with you for another slut - that shit is going to hurt you, big time"
"ey it wont - ive been with Zach since I moved here, and I havent fallen for him"
"but have you been kissing him - holding his hand?"
"no... but we've been hugging"
she rolled her eyes dramatically "I just dont want you to get hurt - especially by him"
"I wont - i'll be okay Ann"
she sighed and began to eat her lunch.

end of the day..

Im so ready to go home now, I just want a nap.

I was putting old books in my locker as I saw Zach come over to me
"hey Babe " he smiled, he got closer and whispered in my ear "alexis is over there" I nodded and finished putting the books in my locker, then I shut it. Zach grabbed my hand and intertwined it with his we began to walk down the hall

"Zach she isn't even looking" I said, he looked around at her and sighed. but seconds later he was face first on the floor. I couldn't help but laugh, I covered my mouth trying to stop

"zachy" I said and knelt down next to him, still laughing "you okay?" I asked and helped him up, I started to laugh even more when I saw his face
"oh you think this is funny do you?" he asked with a huge cheesy grin on his face, I laughed even harder - if that was possible - he smiled at me and grabed my hand again as th both of us stood up. in the corner of my eye I could see Alexis staring at us but when I looked over she snapped back to look at her friends and then they walked out the doors
"come on" Zach said and walked me outside, I saw Alexis again but she was now by herself leaning against a wall

"you need a ride home?" he asked I nodded no
"oh okay" he smiled "is she looking?" he asked, I was facing her so I checked and nodded
"good..." he placed his hand under my chin and pressed his lips onto mine. FUCK hes good. I pulled away and he frowned causing me to giggle
"that was too quick" he said "let me pull away next time, okay?"
"no Zach.. you are not going to be In control"
he chuckled "yep, I am" he quickly pecked my lips. I felt tones of people staring at us now, there were so many girls whispering to each other, I got kinda nervous. Zach could tell so he put his hand under my chin again making me look into his eyes
"dont worry about them okay?" he had a hint of sympathy in his eyes "ignore what they say"
"its hard when they are staring right at you" I laughed
"it'll get easier" he smiled "now are you sure you dont want a ride?"
"I have my car" I said, he nodded and pecked my lips again
"i'll see you later" he said going to his car "text me, okay Babe?" he shouted at me, halfway across the car park from me, I nodded at him and got into my car....

heck....
