I Will Be Loved

Chapter 4: ....Crap....

Abbey's P.O.V

This whole thing about knowing 'Zac-has-A-Crush-In-Our-5th-Hour' has been driving me crazy for the past 2 weeks. I've watched Zac intently, trying to see if their we're any signs as to which girl he liked. When one of the names of the girls in our class would be brought up, I would stare deeply into his eyes, trying to see if they lit-up of happiness from having his crush's name be called. I waited for exactly every one. And there are AL LOT of girls in our class. There are:

1. Me 

2. Maddison

3. Crystal

4. Cailey

5. Alexis

6. Zellie

7. Lauren

8. Susan

9. Hannah

10. Caroline

11. Debby

12. Fiona

13. Jackie

14. Pam

15. Lastly Hailey

And there was nothing.

Nothing at all.

Not even a glimmer.

Urgh.

Why must everything be so complicated?

Because life isn't fun without a little challenge.

....Shut up inner voice in my head.

I walked gloomly into 5th hour, but my face lit up as I saw that we had a sub. And that all the lights were turned off and the screen was down. We're watching a movie! YEEESS!!!

"YEES!" I whispered, fist pumping the air and walking over to my seat. I happily sat down and eagerly waited for the rest of my classmates to walk in. As each one did, I saw their sad, depressed, tired frowns turn into a big and happy grin. 

Then he walked in.

Zac.

Zac shuffles unhappily inside the classroom, his hands shoved into his pockets. His head down, yet his eyes frantically searched around the room. I furrowed my eyebrows. What's up with him? I've never seen him so... worried.

Jake walked in behind Zac, shoving him lightly.

"You gotta do it, Zac!" Jake said, Zac shook his head 'No.' Do it? Do what? Hmmmmm?

"What do you mean No? You gotta tell her!" Jake said. Tell her? Tell who? WHAT SHOULD HE TELL THIS GIRL?! 

Zac raised his head and looked at Jake, his eyes filled with worry. "I don't know...." he slowly said. Jake laughed.

"Awww is little Zacary scared?" he mocked.

"No!" Zac protested.

"Then DO IT." Jake challenged. Zac looked nervously around the class room again. 

Jake leaned in, and even though I could barely hear my own thoughts because of all the noise the other students were making, I heard Jake whisper "You have to do it, Dude. You have to tell her that you like her. Ask her out on a date or something. You know you want to and HAVE to. It's time." My eyes widened. Whaaa??

Zac paused for a moment, but then nodded. Jake patted his back. "Good," he said, then they both went to their seats.

He-he's gonna a-ask his crush out...? TODAY?!?! AHHHHH!!!! OMGOMGOMG **le fangirl** I wonder who it is. Urgh, the suspense is KILLING ME. I know part of me is hoping that it's me who's Zac's crush, but then again, there's like this little super-duper tiny itty-bitty part of me that's hoping it's not me so Maddison doesn't murder me. But no matter who it is, as long a it's not Maddison or Crystal, I will respect his choice.... and then go fall off a bridge...
