After finishing my test, I looked at the wall clock.

12 : 15 pm

YES! VACAY HERE I COME!

I rushed going to Mr. Greene's desk and slapped the paper on his desk then ran back to my table and snatched my bag. I sprinted out of the room and looked for the school exit. I guess I'm not the only one.

Everyone was doing the same thing. I can see bunch of teenagers rushing out of the exit. I have to squeeze myself out before I could get out of this school.

The bad thing about crowds are:

Smelly Armpits
Sweaty hands
And fountain of saliva

Thank God I don't have any of those at the moment. A lot of excuse me's was heard around the corridors and I can feel the dizziness coming through my veins.

I'm still in the middle of the crowd being the meat of the sandwhich. I just lifted my chin up and tip toed to look if anyone is going out if the exit. Err, The exit door is closed.

"Hello?! Please open the door and let us out!" I screamed.

Before I know it, Someone pulled me out of the crowd. I stared at the back of the man who is pulling me out. This is not Topher, Nor Kyle. But why am I feeling like I was saved by a superhero?

When we are out of the crowd, My superhero faced me. I was surprised to see Zach. "Zach?" His hair changed. Wow, Black fits him. "What are you doing here?"

"I saw another exit. That exit is broken. I just figured that an hour ago, before all of them could get out of their rooms." He pulled my wrist again. "C'mon, This is going to be exciting."

I followed. What choice could I possibly make right? I don't have any choice but to follow him. He knows the way out and I know he will lead me to that way.

We went out the basement door. Wait, Why the basement? I thought basements here are banned already? I didn't mind. He still pulled me until we reached the stairs leading to God knows where.

After climbing up the stairs, We ended up on the rooftop. Rooftop?! I thought everyone are not allowed to go here?

"What are we doing in here?" I asked Zach who sat in the middle of the roof.

I sat beside him and imitate what he is doing. He stared up the blue sky and heaved a sigh. "Zach, for the last time--"

"Shh. Listen." I looked at him, Confused. What is he trying to make me do? Listen to a...

"The birds." I spoke. The birds are chirping and making a sweet rythm. "Why did you bring me here, Zachary Cohen?"

"I searched for your name and found that it has a connection about music. You know, I love music and I love anything that connects with it. Yesterday, I decided to write a song for a special someone. I hope you could help me with that now that your name resembles with the finishing note of every song."

Aww, That's sweet.

"Yeah I can, But you know I don't do music. I love listening to it but I really suck at it." I told him honestly.

He faced me, "It's okay. You can help me tomorrow. Come on, Let's go and leave this school. I know you're having the urge to escape Mr. Greene's death stares."

Not until now, "Okay." He pulled me up then led me downstairs where another exit is located. When we finally walked out of the exit, I found him staring at me. "What?" I asked.

"Nothing. I'll see you tomorrow?"

What's happening tomorrow? "What's the event?"

"Tomorrow is the start of our vacation."

"Oh My God! Oh My God! Oh My God!" I couldn't stop squealing on the phone.

"Cades, Cades. Calm your tits bro. I know tomorrow will be the best day of your life and you think you found your best superhero of your life." Jessica chided. I don't know why I'm talking to her and Hailey.

"Yeah, Girl. It's just vacation."

"Of course it's not just vacation! I think Zach has something for me. Okay, I'll stop infatuating now."

"Err, Cades. You better be a good girl on your vacay. I hope nothing Mean will happen to you." Hailey sounded obnoxious.

"I promise I will, For now got to go 'cause Zach is waiting." I hung up and started packing up.

I went downstairs and found Zach, together with Zary, on the living room. I couldn't express anything at the moment but utter shock because the cohen siblings are inside my house.

Well, I'm just going for Zach.

Zach neared me and took my bag from me. He insisted on carrying it and putting it on his car. I went outside the house, locked it, and head towards his car.

Something surprised me even more.

Seeing Kyle inside the car.

"What the..."
