IF I WERE YOU • zdh

036; what are friends for

— third person —

Zach and Skye made their way down the front steps of the Herron house. Zach decided it was getting late and wanted to get back to the hotel at a reasonable time.

The moonlight was shining bright, almost as bright as the sunrise the pair watched earlier that morning. The light was dimly lighting the path, not dark but just enough so you could see the other persons face.

"I call shotgun!" Zach shouted, running to the car and placing his hand on the car handle to the passengers seat.

Skye squinted her eyes at the boy, "It's literally only me and you in the car, you automatically need shotgun."

"Nice way to suck the fun out of things." he sighed, turning away from Skye and waiting for her to open the car. Once Zach heard the sound of the car unlocking, he burst into the front seat.

Skye started up the engine and pulled out of the driveway. She would be driving him to the hotel since Zach currently didn't have a car to get around.

"Do you think Reese will tell people? I never know with that chatty mouth of hers." Skye pondered, looking at Zach for a quick second before placing her eyes back on the road.

"I don't think so, I trust her." Zach placed his feet up on the dashboard of the car, tapping his feet along to the very faint soft music that was playing in the background.

Skye saw his movement, frowning, "Get your feet off the dashboard."

"No, it's my car." he said without taking a glance in Skye's direction.

"Well, I'm you, so this is my car now and I say take your feet off the dashboard." Skye smacked his legs, making them fall to the ground. A small groan escaped Zach's lips as he leaned back in his seat.

"Just to make it clear," Zach begun, "Cammy will forever be my car, not yours." He crossed his arms with a huff, making Skye roll her eyes at the boy.

"Whatever. We are here by the way." Skye said as she pulled the car into the parking lot of the hotel. She parked the car into the nearest free spot.

Once the car was completely shut down, the two of them hopped out. She walked over to Zach's side, leaning against the car as Zach let out a sigh, "Bye."

"Bye." she waved him off. He was going to leave but Zach let out a gasp, "Oh! Before I forget, just stay right there. I need to go grab something from my room." Zach held his hands in a stop motion to Skye, turning to the hotel and running to the entrance, "Don't move!"

Skye was left confused. What could he possibly want to show her that was all the way up in his hotel room?

As Skye waited and waited, she suddenly got bored. She wondered if he would even come back down to her or if it was all a little joke to the boy.

Her questions were answered when the body image of her ran back out of the entrance. Skye noticed he was now carrying an object in his hand.

She didn't recognize what it could be until Zach came closer to her. It looked like those fancy boxes that come when you get expensive jewelry. Skye instantly calmed down because she didn't want to get her hopes up that Zach bought her something for her birthday.
