Officially a couple

"This means we're now friends so you are not allowed to forget my name again" with this he scurries off.

'What the hell am i doing making friends?'

Zachary ushers me to my locker, a smile playing on his lips.

"You know they like you"

"Who?"

"My friends"

"Oh".

I pick out what i need from the locker and walk to class feeling chuffed to bits as Zachary follow behind me.

As we get into class, my heart drops to my stomach and i frown.

My emotions have been having a blast of late, changing at will. Pain, anxiety, disappointment and the electricity that ripples through my entirety whenever any part of him appears.

I trudge unhappily to my seat a world away from Zachary.

Unexpectedly he takes the seat besides me with a non chalant air like this was a normal thing.

"What are you doing?" I ask

"Getting ready for class, what else". He places his Spanish notebook on the table and turns to me

"I didn't do the homework, did you?"

"What homework?"
