Love me, Logan 2 #6

The first day of school. Even if my room's still a mess, I still managed to find all my school stuff. Zack promised me he's going to pick me up. It's only the first day and I don't want anyone to think I'm a slut. So I wore a hoodie. I swung my backpack and I got out of my room.

'Are you ready for a new school Karen?' Mom asked.

'I guess so. I'm kinda nervous about the people.'

'Oh, don't worry about that. I think they're gonna like you.' Easy for you to say. Mom placed a plate of pancakes in front of me. I sat down and ate a little and filled me up with orange juice. 'You got to eat a little bit more, Karen.'

'Poptarts will do?' I said. I stood up and pushed my seat and I looked for poptarts in the kitchen cabinets. I found raspberry-flavored ones. I popped the wrap open and threw them in the toaster. Oh thank the Lord for toaster pastries. My phone rang, and there was a text message from Zack telling me he'll be in front of my house in ten minutes. I took out the poptarts out of the toaster, placed them on a plate and, maybe, since I'm feeling nice, share one with Kyle. I took one and bit it and walked to Kyle's room. Kyle was still in the showers. His laptop is on and it has Skype open. And the the person on chat has DeniseGryes1 for a username. That's probably his girlfriend since her name's Denise.

'Kyle, I made you a poptart.' I said.

'Thanks leave in on my desk.' Kyle said from the bathroom. I left it on his desk and I was about to walk out his room. 'Dude, you're going with Zack right?' he said coming out of the bathroom door with a towel wrapped around his waist and below.

'Yeah, why?'

'Do you think I could ride with him too?'

'Why?'

'You know what parents do when their kids goes to a new school.' Kyle said putting his pants on. I instantly thought about the movie Bratz 4 Real, when Jade's mom asked for the dad to have her and Jade's picture taken, and Jade was embarrassed. I smirked.

'I'll see what Zack'll say.' I said and I walked out the door.

'Cool.' Kyle said. He wore a Bring Me The Horizon tee and baggy jeans. He had his hair untidy and had his black Converse on. I'd laugh if someone called him a fag.

'Kyle, aren't you worried people are going to call you a fag?' I laughed.

'Please, Karen. The ladies looooove the band tee, the bags, the shoes and especially le hair.'

'Seriously? The hair?'

'Karen, Karen, Karen. My hair makes girls instantly wet, it makes mothers cry, it makes babies happy, it also makes the people in the army think why the hell are they fighting.' Kyle said grooming his hair. I just stood there covering my mouth and laughing. 'Hey shut up your boyfriend has the same hair as mine.' As soon as Kyle said that I stopped laughing and stood up straight.

'You win. Get ready fag.' I said and walked out his room.

'I always win, Karen. Muha ha ha ha.' Kyle closed the door as if he played dracula or some guy in a horror movie. I took out my phone and texted Zack.

'I'll be there in 5' replied Zack.

I sat on the couch and got my bag ready. Kyle walked out of his room. I heard Zack's car outside the yard, I looked out the window and it was really him. 'Mom, Dad Zack's out there, I'm leaving.' Mom rushed to me and kissed me and Kyle on our cheeks. Dad came to hug me and Kyle.

'Good luck sweety. I mean both of you. And Kyle, stay out of trouble.' Mom said.

'Have fun.' Dad said. We both walked out of the house and waved to Mom and Dad.

'Good morning Mr and Mrs West.' Said Zack. He opened the door for me and waved to my parents. 'Kyle's coming?' He asked.

'Yeah, I forgot to tell you. You cool with that?'

'Cool.' He said. He stepped on the gas and started driving. The school wasn't as close but wasn't as far either. But yeah walking there would be a drag.

'Are the people nice there?' I asked.

'Well, I guess as long as you're nice to them.'

'Will the people call me a fag for dressing up like this Zack?' asked Kyle. Zack looked back and smirked.

'Don't worry bro, there's a group of people dressing up like you. I bet you'll fit right in.'

'Sweet.' Kyle said.

We were in the drive way of the school and Zack found parking. There was a nervous beating going on in my heart. Zack stopped the engine and opened the car door. He opened mine before I could open it. He pushed the door closed and swung his arm around my shoulders. Kyle walked behind us. I saw a few people gazing at me and Zack, not in a good way, though. In a what-the-hell-is-he-doing-with-that-girl-in-his-arm-there-must-be-a-better-looking-girl-than-her or I'm jealous or just, the what the hell look. I got a little nervous.

'Why are people staring at us?' I asked.

'I don't know. They look jealous though.' Zack said.

'Hey dude I'm scared.' Whispered Kyle.

'Chill.'

'Zacky!' Yelled Derek from a distance. 'Karen!' You're here!'

'I guess I am.' I said.

'Do you like this place so far?' He asked.

'It's really big. Bigger than my old school.' I said. Then a guy and two other girls walked up.

'Oh hey, meet the people. This is Josh, Jordin, and Kristy. Guys, this is Zack's girlfriend, Karen.'

'Hey.' Said Jordin and Kristy.

'Hi.' I said shyly.

'You don't have to be shy. We're same as you.' Josh said. That was really comforting for me being as the new kid.

'That was nice for you to say.' Said Zack. 'These are the coolest people you'll know here, Karen.' He said and smiled at me.

'Uh, hey. Do I get friends and a warm welcome too?' Asked Kyle from behind us. All of us turned to him.

'He's the band geek, concert weirdo guy.' I said. Kyle thumped me from the back of my head. 'You want friends or not faggot?' I said.

'Ye-, yes I do sister.' He said in a hopeless voice. The guys laughed a little.

'Yeah they have a group for middle school band geeks. Wait, you are in middle school right?' Said Jordin.

'8th grade.' He said.

'Oh. Koda!' Shouted Jordin. A girl with scene hair, a band tee, a jacket, pair of skinnies and in converse came running.

'What?' She said.

'Koda, this is Kyle. He's new. He's similar to you. Make friends now, run along.' Jordin said.

'Hey.' Said Kyle.

'Hey.' Replied Koda. Her cheeks went a little reddish.

'Koda, are your cheeks going red?' Asked Derek.

'No!' She smacked him on the face.

'Ooooh. You like the boy?' teased Kristy.

'No! Shut up!'

'Hey you like her, Kyle?' asked Josh with a smirk.

'Er, I have a girlfriend.' Kyle said.

'Oh. Better chance next time bro.' Josh thumped Koda's head.

'I'll show you around.' Koda smiled at Kyle. Kyle followed and they both went away.

'She totally has a crush on him.' Said Jordin.

'Word.'

'Totally.'

'Bell's gonna ring soon.' said Derek looking at his phone clock. We all walked in. Zack slid off his arm and held my hand. I was blushing. But they the mood went away directly when I saw Alexa standing in front of what seems to be her locker, with a guy. She was in a skirt so small a baby could use is as a dress. And a tank top. I cursed silently.

'What's wrong?' Asked Zack.

'Her.' I had my eyes pointing to Alexa.

'Oh. You have me. Don't worry. Younger ones fear the senior.'

'Ha, sweet. Who else is a senior? I mean, your friends.'

'Well, Derek is, so is Jordin. Kristy's a 9th grader. You're left with Josh.'

'Oh. Kristy's in the 9th grade? I thought 11th.'

The bell rang.

'Hey, see you later, lunch is at 11.' Zack said. He kissed my forehead and waved while he walked away with Derek and Jordin. Kristy walked a different path too. They all waved.

'I'm left with you now.' Josh said. I only smiled. 'Which is your homeroom?'

'10.4,' I said.

'We're in the same class. Cool.'

'Cool. Does that mean same schedule?' I asked.

'Pretty much. But the math, science, English and art is separated.'

'Oh, yeah I remember.'

'What are you taking for math?'

'11th grade math.'

'And the rest?'

'11th grade science, 12th grade English and airbrush.'

'Ooh, airbrushing. That's nice. Well in math you're going to be with Zack, science with me, Kristy and Zack, and English with us all.'

'Cool. What's first?'

'Oh, we go to homeroom first.'

'Okay.' We walked into homeroom. Everyone stared. I took a seat next to Josh.

'Who's the chick?' asked a guy next to Josh.

'Karen. Zack's girlfriend. She's new.'

'Whoa, Zack the senior?'

'Yea. Problem?'

'Naw, she's just cute.' He winked at me and I waved awkwardly. Josh laughed a little, he looked at me.

'Karen, to break the awkwardness, this is Braiden. He's the captain of the school basketball team.' Josh said.

'Oh, hey.' I said.

'Hey sweet thang.' He said and winked again.

'He can be, er, rather cheesy.' Josh said. I just laughed a little. The teacher walked in.

'Good morning class, sorry I'm late, the morning meeting went a little long today. Please have a seat.' She took a sip from her mug and placed it on her table. She wore her glasses, 'Oh, right. There is a new student today. What's your name, the girl in the hoodie with the mustache printed on?' I realized she was talking about me.

'I'm Karen.' I said.

'Oh, please stand up, Karen.' And I did.

'Hi, I'm Karen West. I'm 16 and new. Er, hope we can be friends.' I said. Really awkwardly.

'I am Mrs. Daniels and I teach 11th grade math. Please have a seat Karen.' I sat down. 'Class, today Ms. Moore is absent due to a family reunion in the south, so for all of you in 12th grade math, you will have Mr. Adams as your substitute. And today there will be drama, and that will be held in the last two sessions of school hours. Everyone go to the drama theater at exactly 2 P.M. That's all you need to know for today, so go to your classes.' Then the bell rang. Since my math class is here I just sat in the same spot. I noticed some people didn't move also. I saw Zack walked in. I waved at him. First period with Zack already. This day will be fine. He took a seat next to mine.

'Hey.' He said.

'Hey.' I said, blushing.

'How's school so far?'

'It's fine I guess. Is Mrs. Daniels nice?'

'She is. Until you don't do your homework and or she find out you cheat.'

'Oh. Well, I do my homework and I don't cheat. It's going to be alright.'

'Hmm. I never knew you'd be in the same math level as me.' Zack smiled.

'I'm not that good in math though.'

'Nah. For you to be here, you must be good.' He said. I just smiled. Zack turned back and talked to his friends, then, I saw Alexa walking in the class. No! She can't be here! She's too stupid for 11th grade math!

'Bulimic.' She whispered when she passed by me.

'Anorexic pig.'

'Bitch.'

'Whore.'

'Slut.'

'Well hey look who's talking.' I said. She scoffed in disgust.

'I wasn't the one who stole someone's boyfriend away.' She said.

'Well I wasn't the one being a cheerleader wearing those slutty skirts everywhere could win a guy.'

'Bitch shut up! Logan was mine first!' Alexa said it a little bit louder for everyone to be able to be silent.

'Is there a problem, over there?' Mrs. Daniels asked.

'Nothing.' We said together.

'I was looking for 10th grade math.' Alexa said. Stupid.

'Wrong room. Search for room 125.' Mrs. Daniels said.

'Thanks teacher. Good morning. Later whore.' She managed to whisper the last sentence to me. And apparently stuck up her middle finger at me.

'What was that?' Zack asked.

'Alexa.'

'What's wrong with her?'

'She thinks I stole was the cause of her break up with her previous boyfriend.'

'That Logan kid?'

'Yeah.'

'Oh. But did you though?'

'No! Logan came to me.'

'Suuuuuuuuuuure he did.' Zack teased.

'I'm serious!'

'Yeah, yeah. Don't worry.' He smiled.

Class started and went by pretty fast. So did the next three subjects. I was standing in my locker. I felt a little annoyed in having Alexa in one of my classes. I threw my books in furiously.

'Hello!' Zack shocked me from the back, made me jumped a little. 'I'm sorry, did I shock you?'

'A little.' I turned around. He tucked my hair behind my ear, we leaned closer. We locked lips. As we kissed, it made me forget a lot of things. Including Alexa. I felt, safe.

'Zacky!' Squealed Derek which caused us to let go since we were shocked. 'Oh, I interrupted something did I...' Derek said awkwardly.

'Kinda?' Zack said with a little dissapointment.

'Sorry.' Derek said putting his head down. 'Lunch now?' he brought his head back up and gave a bright look.

'Fine.' Zack said. He put his arm around me as we started walking. 'Don't interrupt me when I'm with my girlfriend.'

'I said I was sorry!' Derek said.

'I forgive you this time.' Zack said. I laughed a little and Derek's face went red. We reached the cafeteria, there was Jordin, Kristy and Josh sitting at one place. We three took the remaining seats.

'Hey,' Jordin, Kristy and Josh said.

'Hellooo.' Derek said. I waved and so did Zack. 'What's for today?'

'Pizza, Caesar Salad, and Spaghetti.' said Josh popping a grape in his mouth.

'You hungry, Karen?' Zack asked.

'Um, kinda.' I nodded. Zack's phone rang.

'Oh, damn. You go with Derek. I'll catch up.' He threw his phone against his ear.

'Food?' Derek asked. I got up from my seat and walked with him.

'What's good here?' I asked.

'Well, I don't really pay attention, I just eat whatever. But if I were you I will NOT, eat the soup. They're not serving soup today but if you wanna stay healthy.' Derek said. I just giggled. Maybe giggle isn't the right word for it though. 'Do you like it here so far?' Derek asked.

'I guess I do. This place is cleaner than my old school. And more peaceful.'

'Cheating with Derek now Karen?' Alexa, who happened to be behind me the whole time just happened to be annoying at the time I never expected.

'What the hell Alexa.' I turned.

'What? Seriously Karen, all I've ever hear you say is "what the hell".'

'What do you want Alexa?' I asked nicely.

'Nothing, really. Maybe, my past back?' She pushed her tone for the last sentence. 'My BOYFRIEND back?'

'What? I never stole your boyfriend, for the fricking last time. He, your boyfriend, LOGAN, came to me.'

'Bitch!'

'HEY! Hey! Girls. Please?' Derek turned around.

'What, Derek?' Alexa scoffed.

'Alexa, could you just stop it, seriously. It's your past damn it.'

'What the hell Derek. It's my problem, well, Karen's problem actually for taking my boyfriend away.' She raised her voice. Some people looked at us three.

'Excuse me?! I TOLD you Alexa. Or more like, Alexass.'

'Oh, that's how you wanna play now?' She swung her purse at my face.

'Alexa!' Derek stepped forward. He checked on me. Part of my face bled because of a metal piece of her purse. 'You okay?'

'"You okay"? Really Derek? It's Karen now? Derek, Karen and Zack now?' Alexa raised her voice even more. Actually got the whole cafeteria to look.

'Hey, what's happening?' Zack rushed. 'Karen! What happened?!'

'Alexa swung her purse at Karen's face. A metal piece bruised her face.' Derek said.

'I'll take her to the nurse.' Zack took me by the hand and checked on my face.

'Ow.' I said.

'Does it hurt?' Zack asked.

'Just take me to the nurse please.' I said. He did, and as we walked, Derek bitched at Alexa.

'Alexa, did you just see what did you do to her? She's my friend, okay? I would hurt you back, but I'm a guy. I don't hit girls.'

'Really, Derek? You're just another momma's faggot.' Alexa smirked. The crowd went "Oooh".

'Really, Alexa. Do you want your parents to know about what you really are, behind that spoiled rotten daddy's girl? Do you want me to tell "Daddy"? Can you imagine what happened and how he'll treat you when he knows all of this?'

'You won't dare.' She said.

'Oh, dayum gurl, I would.'

'You have no proof!' She fought back.

'I do. You never realized.' He pointed at a security camera. Alexa scoffed and walked away.

At the nurse, Zack stood next to the seat I sat.

'How did this happen?' The nurse asked.

'This girl, Alexa, she swung her purse at my face.' I said. I felt a little dizzy somehow.

'Pfft. Kid's these days. Stay still, it's going to hurt just a bit.' The nurse swabbed alcohol over my cut. It hurt more than a bit, truthfully.

'Zack, why don't you go have lunch.' I said.

'No, it's alright.' He said.

'No, I'm serious. I'll go back later.'

'No, don't worry. I'll stay.' When he said that, his phone rang, again. 'Ugh. I'll be out then. I'll come back when I'm done.'

'Just go have lunch, Zack.' I said and I forced a smile. A thread of pain rushed through my cheek.

'Well, fine. See you later?' He smiled. I smiled back. Heh, just smiling hurts. Zack walked out the door. He seems busy.

'Is that your boyfriend?' The nurse asked.

'Yeah.' I said.

'He's really sweet. He really cares for you.' She said. I smiled, and again, it hurt. 'I'm not going to put a band-aid on this, I'll just leave some cream on. Don't worry, no one can see it.' She said. I stood up and I thanked her and walked out the door. I went to the cafeteria and saw Zack and Derek with Jordin on the same table. I waved and sat next to Zack.

'You okay?' Zack asked. I just nodded and I leaned my head on his shoulder. 'Drink?' He offered me a juice box. He punched a hole with the straw and poked my mouth with it.

'You guys are so cute. I swear.' Jordin said. I smiled, this time it didn't hurt.

'Jordin you wanna be wif meehh?' Derek mushy talked to her and wrapped his arms around her.

'Ofkaws I wanna be witchu Dereksiee!' They leaned closer and pretend-kissed with a loud "Muuah".

'That was nice bitching you did to Alexa.' Zack said putting down his pizza.

'I know right.' Derek admitted. 'But you should see what she's really like in front of her dad. She fricking could cry in a store as if her mom just died or something, just because her dad didn't let her get something. Like that time I was with her family in an Apple store, and the iPhone 4 just came out, she wanted one so bad, but her dad said he's going to get it for her birthday, which is in a week, and she cried. Like, right there. It was so embarrassing.'

'Typical Alexa.' I said softly.

'Who called you Zacky?' Derek asked.

'Oh, it's my cousin. He's getting married and he wanted me to be best man. I'll be gone for a week starting next week. Is that okay?' Zack looked at me. I nodded.

School bell rang, and sessions went okay, good thing I'm not in a same class with Alexa. Well, I don't really know yet. Zack took me home, he gave me a kiss before I got out the car. I wasn't in the mood to do anything today. It's only my first day. I don't know how mom will freak when she sees me like this.

'Karen? What happened to your cheek? And where's Kyle?' Mom rushed from the kitchen door and wiped her hands on a cloth.

'It's okay mom. And Kyle went out to the mall with a new friend.'

'No! Tell me what happened!' She took my face and rubbed by cheek.

'A girl named Alexa hit me in the face with a purse.'

'What?! Why?'

'She's been thinking I stole her boyfriend from her.'

'But did you?'

'No! Her boyfriend came to me, plus I didn't know he had a girlfriend.'

'Who is this Alexa girl?'

'Logan's ex, she used to go to my school too. Mommy I don't feel like talking, okay. Just smiling hurts.'

'Okay then, darling. Are you sure I don't have to tell your principal about this?'

'No, mom, it's okay.'

'Okay then.'


===TO BE CONTINUED===

Love me, Logan 2 #5

The day ended fast.
I woke up from my sleep and looked at my alarm clock; 4 A.M. Wonderful. I'm still trying to bond with the new environment. I don't know what to do until everyone wakes up. Maybe I'll walk around the block or something. I took my hoodie and tip-toed out the house. The day was still dark. At least I have my phone with me. I remembered I was supposed to pick up Jessica for tomorrow's concert. I hope Zack's free today.

I kicked rocks along the way, hoping the day would go on faster. I passed each house and eventually got bored. I looked at the clock on my phone and I got pissed since it's only been ten minutes.

'Maybe I'll go back home and see what happens.' I said to my self. I turned around and walked back to my house. I noticed Kyle was awake. 'Are you usually awake at this time?' I said half sarcastically.

'I haven't been sleeping for two days Karen. Look at these black things under my eyes! I've been going to the fridge for some milk every hour and now there's none left!'

'What's wrong with you? Oh, right. Everything's wrong with you.'

'Shut up. I'm serious. I miss home.'

'I know right. What's up with the attitude?'

'I told you I miss home! I miss the friking tree house, the smell of it, the smell of the air there, the school, the people, Dane, Denise, Oli--'

'Wait, who's Denise?' I know Dane already, his retarded friend and the one whom he was about to say, Oliver who is way sane then him. But, who's Denise?

'De-, Denise?'

'Ooooh. Kyle!'

'What?'

'Is it?'

'What?'

'Girlfriend.' I mouthed at him.

'Yes. I-I mean no. NO!'

'Ooooh Kyle why didn't you tell me?!'

'Why would I tell you?'

'Because you have a girlfriend! Kyle has a girlfriend! Kyle has a girlfriend!' I jumped around and teased him.

'Shut up Karen!'

'What's happening here?' A yawn came from the door of my parents' room. It was dad.

'Dad Kyle has a girlfriend!' I said.

'KAREN!' Kyle yelled.

'You do?' Dad stepped closer to Kyle. 'Why didn't you tell me?'

'Dad! Join me! Kyle has a girlfriend! Kyle has a girlfriend!'

'Kyle has a girlfriend! Kyle has a girlfriend!' Me and dad jumped around him pointing at his face until we were worn out.

'Are you guys done?' Kyle asked. Me and dad were running out of breath.

'I think so yeah.' Dad said.

'Good.' Kyle took a cookie and walked back in his room.

'Why are you in a hoodie, Karen?'

'I woke at 4 A.M., and I didn't know what to do.'

'Did Kyle do the same?'

'Nah. Kyle couldn't sleep because he's homesick. Why are you up so early?'

'Well, truthfully, I'm also homesick. But your mother is sleeping tightly.'

'How does she do that?'

'I wish I could answer that darling.' Dad wrapped an arm around me. My phone vibrated in my back pocket. I checked and it was a text message from Jess.

"Dudz sorri i cant sleepover at urs and cant go to concert toms ): so much crap to do lately. I got a project wit nelson. Urgh. Why do i always hav to be wit the nerds. K, so im gonna pass out again since its 5 am bye sessy karen xoxo ttul. <3" It read.

"Aye jessy. Awww! Gud thing we havnt got tickets yeh aha. Lol awh got a group wit him eh? Wish u luck babe <3 ttul sessy xoxo" I replied. And I texted Zack that he doesn't need to pick Jess up.

"you woke me up." Zack said via text message to me. I giggled and flipped my phone and slipped it down my pocket.

I didn't really know what to do for the day. No one's awake. Maybe I'll go to Kyle's room, I said to myself. I walked to Kyle's room and without the thought of knocking, I bust right in.

'What do you want?'

'Can't your loving sister just freaking enter her baby brother's room?' I said sweetly.

'Get the hell out Karen.'

'No.'

'Fine. What do you want?'

'Can I see a picture of your girlfriend?'

'But after that can you get out? Guys like me need beauty sleep you know.'

'Guys like you are fags. Now let me see her pic.'

'But promise to get out after!'

'Fine!' I whined. Kyle threw his phone at me. I browsed through the pictures and there was a folder titled "♥" and I knew it was the folder. I saw a girl that kinda looks like Miranda Kerr. 'She kinda looks old.' I said.

'Shut up she's freaking 14.'

'And how old are you?'

'I'm 14 now get the hell out.'

'Whatever.' I threw his phone at him really hard and walked out. I seriously didn't know what to do for the day. No one's awake at this time so maybe I'll go on my laptop or something. The Wi-Fi has to be on.

I walked in my room and took my laptop out of the case and hoped on my bed. I signed on Facebook even though I never liked going on it. I had four friend requests and five notifications. I checked the notifications first and the first thing I saw that Jessica tagged a picture of me. I clicked it and I saw a picture that was took like, ten years ago. Me and Jess were hugging each other and smiling really wide. There was a writing that said "I MISS YOU". Completely in awe, I liked the picture and post a heart in the comment box.

I didn't really know what to do for a few hours but shout at the TV screen about my opinions of the total bitches in America's Next Top Model. You know, they're always like, "I'm perfect, she isn't." or "She is nice but a total whore" and those types. It really annoys me. Why do you have to be so skinny to be pretty? Even if that is something out of subject because being skinny is required in being a model? I don't even know. But anyway, Kyle walked out of his room at like, 3 P.M.; he's been spending time in his room, calling his girlfriend for the past, I don't know, two hours, and he only came out for orange juice.

'Kyle what are you doing in there?' Mom asked. Kyle grinned widely. I turned around facing mom.

'Haven't you heard mom?' I said.

'Heard what Karen?'

'That Kyle,' I paused, and gave a look at Kyle. 'Has...'

'Karen!' Kyle shouted. Mom's face went glowing.

'Kyle, my baby boy,' Mom ran tip-toed to Kyle and pulling his cheeks in so many directions his cheeks grew red. 'Who's the lucky girl?' She winked. I laughed so hard at him.

'Thanks a lot Karen.' He looked at me embarrassed.

'Anytime bro.' I said. I turned back to the TV.

'Karen.' Mom whispered. I turned back. 'Who is she?'

'Denise.' I said.

'Karen!' I heard Kyle shout. All my mom and I did was just laugh.

My phone vibrated, I picked it up. I recognized it was Zack.

'Hey,' I said.

'Hey Karen.' He said in a tune that made my day. 'I was thinking...' he paused.

'Thinking...'

'There's a beach party tonight, at five. Do you think you could come with me?'

A smile lit up my face, 'sure. Pick me up?'

'Sure thing.' I felt him smile along the phone line. ''kay see you later?'

'Yeah.'

'Sweet.'

'See you later.' I said. I hung up.

First thing that came up in my head: What. To. Wear. I went straight to my dresser. But knowing not all of my clothes are in there, I had to open a few boxes to look for something to wear. I spent an hour and a half just looking for something to wear. After a few mix and matching, I decided to wear a loose white tee and shorts and a black bikini under. Not forgetting a bag and flip flops.

After I found out what to wear, I continued watching some FOX News and made comments at the TV. Without realizing, I fell asleep on the couch. Half awake, I didn't realize I moved my head on Zack's lap. He brushed my hair. I woke up, I rubbed my eyes.

'Hey.' Zack said. Smiling at me.

'Oh, hey.' I said. Realizing I fell asleep, I rose up and looked at the clock. 'God, I fell asleep! Sorry to keep you waiting!' I said panicking.

'Chill, it's fine. Anyway it's better to attend a party a few minutes late than being totally punctual.' He smiled. 'Go get dressed, leaving in five.' He told me. I got up on my feet and walked to my room. I put on the out fit I prepared. I walked out and Zack looked impressed. He was wearing an white tee and khaki shorts. I slipped my arm into his, said good bye to mom and dad and walked out.

We walked in the car. He smiled at me. 'What?' I smiled back.

'Nothing.' He started laughing softly.

'What is it?' I said smiling.

'You're just cute. That's all.' He said. I smiled at him. He got the car to go and drove. We didn't go to fast, or slow. Just a drive. Enjoying the reggae being played in the radio. When the sounds of waves smashing onto each other sounded clear, we slowed down and Zack parked the car.

I took a view at the crowd. These people were Zack's friends. Me and Zack stepped in the crowd, hand in hand, until my mood dropped.

'What the hell? What is that doing here?' A familiar voice.

Alexa.

'Don't talk to her like that.' Zack said.

'Let me talk to you then.' She let hand slide down Zack's arm. 'Baby, why her?'

'What the hell Alexa?!' I slapped hand off Zack's arm.

'Bitch he loves me.' Alexa pointed a finger at me.

'What the hell? I don't even know who you are!' Zack said disgusted.

'Baby, shush. Let me do the talking.'

'Don't you call him that.' I said squinting my eyes at her.

'Well make me!' Her tune rose. A guy standing next to me had a drink in his hands, I snatched it off his grip and threw the drink at Alexa. She gasped, wiping the drink off her. 'You bitch!' She grabbed someone's drink and almost threw it at me but a hand stopped her. It was Derek.

'Derek! Hi!' Zack said in a girly voice.

'Zacky!' Derek said with a little girl attitude. I laughed at them.

'Hey you stay away from them or I'll make your reputation down the toilet later in school. Understand?' Derek said threatening Alexa. Alexa scoffed and walked away.

We got ourselves drinks and just the three hanging in by the beach. Suddenly, Alexa and an army of girls that are either Zack's and or Derek's ex or crush came with eggs. One threw an egg at me, but missed.

'What the hell? Alexa what do you want?!' Zack stood up.

'You.' She said. 'So does these girls.'

'God, you? Crystal? We were done remember?' Zack had a confused and mad tone.

'What happens if I want you back?' Crystal said. She looked like a total slut.

'What? You cheated.' Zack said furious

'Well.' She threw an egg at me.

'Where did you girls get these eggs?' Derek asked. A girl pointed at a restaurant by the parking lot. 'Alexa do you really want me to ruin your reputation?'

'What? And why are you even here?'

'To take back what happens to be mine.' Said Crystal. She stepped forward and touched Zack. I stood up, Zack pushed her away disgustedly.

'He's mine. Cry me a river.' I said.

'He was mine first.' Said Crystal.

'No he was mine first!' Said another chick.

'No! I kissed him first!' Said another chick. Suddenly a bitch slap got on. Oh how I love these dramas. Every girl started throwing eggs at each other, pulling on each other's hair, calling names and fighting for a guy. Bitch slap. Is. Entertainment.

We slowly walked away from the scene and laughed it off.

'Aren't you gonna tell me how many ex you had?' I said with a giggle.

'Me?' Zack pointed to himself.

'Both of you! That was so much drama just for two guys!' I said holding my stomach.

'I know right. Well, my ex was like, only three out of the whole crowd.' Claimed Derek.

'And you?' I looked up to Zack.

'Ehh. I had only five out of the whole crowd. Then, who are the others?'

'Probably your crush or the girls that wishes she had you as her boyfriend and me as a best friend or something.' Derek said. There was a little silence. But it passed when Zack offered drinks. We stood in the crowd, having drinks, talking about the school I'm going to be in. Truthfully, I didn't enjoy the conversation. I missed my old school. I missed Jess. But I don't know what to do about it. I'm stuck in this place so I'll have to look on the brightside of every freaking thing to survive.

'So, school starts in two days. You think you're ready for a new place?' Zack said.

'I guess so. I'm just a little insecure about the people there.' I said.

'The people there are okay, I think.' Zack said hesitated. 'But, I won't let anyone or anything upset you.' He smiled.

'Plus, you have us to kick ass.' Derek said pointing at him and Zack cooly.

'Thanks guys.' I said and smiled at them.

The music slowed down. Everyone got a partner and slow-danced. I got Zack and Derek didn't get anyone. He just sat by the table and had drinks. I didn't really care that I'm actually wearing a tee and shorts, but as long as he liked it, I don't need to worry. I rested my head on Zack's shoulder and noticed Derek was dancing with a girl. He looked happy about it. I just smiled at him and he smiled back. I pulled my head off Zack's shoulder and looked at him.

'It's getting late,' Zack paused, 'you wanna go back home or stay out for a while?'

'Don't tell me to go home when I don't have to.' I smiled at him.

'You wanna get out of here?'

'Yeh.' I nodded. Zack mouthed "let's go" and took my arm and first, we walked to Derek.

'We're out of here, you in?' Zack said to Derek.

'Hello?' Derek said pointing at the girl he had in his arms.

'Riiiiight. Later then.'

'Bye Derek!' I said cheerfully. Me and Zack walked to the car. He started the engine and drove slowly, we talked about the party. But my phone rang and it was my mom telling me to go home. Without any other choice, Zack had to drive me home. In the middle of the way, it started raining. Zack turned up the radio and drove faster every time my mom texted me to get home faster. When we reached home, Zack walked me to the door.

'Thanks.' I said giving him a hug. 'I had, almost, had a good time.' I said remembering what happened.

'I'm sorry for what happened. I'm not gonna let that Alexa girl touch you. I promise.' He said to me. He tipped my head upwards slightly, and pressed his lips against mine. I placed my hands on his shoulders and his hands on my hips.

'Karen mom made--' Kyle's yell shocked us and we stopped the kiss. 'No, no, go on. I was just going to tell you mom made Lasagna...' Kyle said stepping a few steps back awkwardly. I smiled at Zack and mouthed "bye" at him. He smiled back and fast-walked back to his car. I walked to in the house with Kyle looking at me embarrassed.

'Don't worry. When you kiss with Denise I'm gonna make sure gramma knows.' I winked at him.
