Forget It

Chapter 3

After Caroline caught Zack kissing another girl in his dorm, she tried her absolute best to avoid him. She would text Brandon, and have him come over to her dorm to check the cuts. 

"Hey Brandon, last day of checking the cuts." Caroline says hugging him

Brandon grabs Carolines back "Last day-y-y-y." he sings 

Caroline carefully removes the bandages, to reveal a perfectly healed cut. "It looks great Brandon." 

"Looks good bro." Zack appears in the bathroom doorway

Caroline ignores Zack "Brandon, thank you for taking care of your cuts. No infections here."

Brandon laughs "Thanks Caroline. How long are you going to avoid Zack for?" 

Caroline shrugs "Until I get married."

"Then will you marry me?" Brandon grabs a toilet paper roll, as a proposal ring. "Lets get married tomorrow." 

"I would love to marry you Brandon, but lets wait until ten years to get married." Caroline giggles, and catches Zack scowling

"I can't do this anymore Caroline! Stop ignoring me. Please. I miss you so much. I hate that you spend all your time with Brandon now. You should be spending time with me." Zack puts his hands on Caroline's hips. 

She bites her lip. Forcing herself not to look into his beautiful eyes. Instead she lets her body collapse into his arms. Caroline feels his head gently fall onto hers. "I missed you too. But if you EVER cheat on me again."

Zack laughs "Sweet Caroline, we never dated silly. So technically-"

Caroline gets up onto her tiptoes, and kisses him. "It was cheating." 

"Fine. You win."

Brandon applauds the two "Finally a happy ending!" 

Zack mutters "Asshole." 

And Brandon laughs. Caroline cleans up her and Zoe's bathroom, and decides she should finally get dressed after putting pajamas on after her last class of the day. Four classes had completely exhausted her, so she took a nap before Brandon came, and had not bothered to change. So here Caroline Mathews is, being held by the annoying next door boy in her satin shorts and blue cropped top.  Brandon had left after Caroline cleaned up and Zack stayed. Zoe was out with her friend Madeline. 

"You look so damn fine Mathews." Zack says holding her tightly

"Perv." Caroline says removing herself from Zacks arms "We're getting dinner tonight, what should I wear?" 

"Nothing." Zack says opening Caroline's closet 

Caroline rolled her eyes "Very funny Zack." 

Zack pulled out a pair of white jeans "Wear these with. Hold on, you have too many shirts." He throws the jeans at Caroline. After a few minutes Zack says "I have found the shirt." 

"What did you pick bubs?" Caroline asks wrapping her arms around Zack's waist

He showed her the shirt, it was a flowy yellow halter top. "This one." 

----------------------------------------

Caroline decided to take Zack to Texas Roadhouse for their first date. 

"What class do you have first tomorrow?" Zack asks, taking a sip of his soda

Caroline sighs "Freshman Foreign Language. You?"

"I've got Freshman Math. Down the hall from you. Professor Lincoln is a pain in the ass, she drives me crazy." 

Caroline swats his hand "I love Lincoln, don't be the pain in her ass and she'll love you."

"Told you, just like my evil, mean little sister."

Caroline laughs. "How old is your sister?"

"Eleven." 

"You call your eleven year old sister evil and mean?"

Now it was Zacks turn to laugh "Yes, you don't?"

"Oh my lord Zackary."
