"Hey girls." He said with a husky voice not even looking at the girls as he talked- which I think is quite rude.
"Hey Zachary!" The girls all faltered at his appearance, playing with their hair or fingers, putting the best bite of the lip and smile on. Zach and I had a heated glaring competition, however I could feel my cheeks fill with embarrassment, so I turned away first.
I heard giggles and shuffling before I looked up only to see that Zach had sat across me on the table where the captain had formerly sat, I think her name was Adriana. I mentally make a note to remember her name, after all she is captain and need to stay in her good books if I want to try out for the squad.
'Your not seriously going to try out, are you?'
I was wondering where my subconscious had gone. A provokingly sexy voice drew me from my thoughts. "Josephine, right?"
Zach looked at me again, my head bowed and I feebly reply.
"Yes."
My voice sounded too weak for my liking. Suddenly I felt a sharp nudge in my stomach and I take a sharp intake of air. I looked straight to my right to see Ali smirking and I assume trying to tell me something with her eyes.
"I'm Zach, as you probably already know from everyone."
I looked at him in a form of disgust and shake my head. I looked straight at him and see the stunned facial expression plastered in his face, I wanted to smirk but withheld myself. The look is quickly covered with a cool mask before a jaunty voice breaks the tension in the air.
"Jo!"
I turn around abruptly and look at my newly made acquaintance.
"Hey Jack!" I say jut a cheerful.
'Acquaintance yeah right, soon you'll be calling him a friend'
I scowl the imbecile in my head and carry on trying to look calm. Jack put his arm around me as soon as he reached me and I swear I saw a glint of jealously in Zach's eyes, but it may have been me.
'Yes. it's defiantly you!'
"Hey girls." Jack said flatly. What was that about?
"Hey." some of the girls replied but I got the feeling it was a act of politeness rather than willingly.
Zach was glaring at me. I felt like he could see right through me but I don't back down this time. Something drawed me to his eyes every time I tried to turn away, it was weird.
Jack leaned down to my ear, I even felt his hot breath fanning my face.
"Can I show you something?" I stopped 'looking' at Zach and turned my face to reply.
"Sure."
As soon as we left the canteen I let out a heavy breathe that I didn't know I was holding.
"Where are we going?"
"Nowhere I could just tell that you weren't particularly comfortable."
Jack sounded like he's known me for years, but I decide to play with him a little.
"Uh huh. And how would you know that may I ask Mr. Marigold?"
For a moment I was proud of my smugness; that was until I heard his comeback.
"Well for one you couldn't keep your eyes of Zacha-"
"That's not true!" I interrupt.
"Tut tut tut, has miss Josephine got a little crouch on Zachary Henderson?"
My cheeks blaze up like fiery balls of embarrassment.
"I don't know what your talking abou-"
"You do, don't you!"
Jack laughs uncontrollably, almost like he's having a spasm attack.
"Zach. Keep your voice down!" I hushed and scowled at him.
"Yes, mother." Zach mockingly replied
"Don't. Play. Smart. With. Me."
Zach glared and started laughing even louder than before.
"You looked like an angry puppy!"
❤️❤️❤️
Twenty minutes later I'm in tight, sweaty, old gym clothes and sweating like a fox. Fifteen laps of this massive field is classified as child labour- right? Well it should be.
'Oh shut up and get on with it- fatty'
After fifteen laps of pure torture to my lungs I gladly crawl to the girl changing room to get a shower. Suddenly I see Zach in the stands, I inwardly groan when I see him get up and walk my way.
'Oh look, it's your future husband'
I snarl at the bitch in my head and focus on how I can mask my BO smells, yep as I suspected there's no way.
"Stop right there mister if you don't want to get the worst case of BO penetrating your nostrils."
"Oh I could smell it all the way from the stands." I look at him in pure horror.
"Im joking."
I let out a sigh of relief as he takes the rest I the way forward
"You know it feels weird sitting there when I'm usually on the opposite side."
"You play football?"
Zach laughed and pointed to his varsity jacket.
"This..."
Zach motioned towards the whole field.
"...is my kingdom."
I wanted to slap him there and then. What an obnoxious imbecile!
"Well... your majesty, I must go shower if I have any chance of being worthy of being in your presence." I sarcastically replied. I pushed past him and jogged before he could say anything.So I need help deciding who should be Zach... I was thinking Dylan sprouse, but... Idk. Please comment
