Resist Me, I Dare You [completed]

Chapter 2

"Are you okay? You look a little sad." I ask looking down at the food on my tray.
"Yeah, uhm, do you want to go to a carnival tonight? Maddi and Lana are going too." He asked. I'm not so sure that was what he was going to say or maybe I'm over-thinking again. Yup, over thinking.
"Sure." I say, pulling out my purse. As I pulled it out, he handed the lady a five. She smiled at him and he started walking back to the table. I stared at his retreating figure. What would I do without this guy? My best friend. Zach. I walk back to the table and sit with the food, ignoring the heated glare I get when I turned my head to the popular table and see the new guy staring at me.

I flip my head upside down and tie my hair in a bun on the top of my head. Swag. Not really. I swipe two wings of eyeliner over my top eyelids.
"Kat! Zach is here!" My mother yells from downstairs, where I can smell her pastries. I grab my bag and hop down the stairs. I stubbed my toe on the railing and went into a deep thought about how I would curse out the railing if it were able to hear me.
"Kat?" My mom called, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Yes." I looked at her. She handed me a cupcake. She now had my full attention. As I was going to dip my face in it, Zach snatched it away.
"HEYYY?!?!" I pouted. He takes a gigantic bite and I pounce on him, snatching it away. I grin giddily and run away with it. I somehow managed to trip over something and fell. You would think the cupcake would have hit the floor but no, it smacked me right between the eyes.
Like, come on!

Fits of laughter came cascading through my house because of my mom and Zach. They laughed so hard that Lana and Maddi came running into the house. Seeing my face, they joined in with the laughing. Yes, funny. Ha ha ha. Hint to the sarcasm. I run to the bathroom just as Zach hit the floor laughing. I didn't even get to eat the cupcake. Pooey. I wiped the cupcake off my face and returned to my friends and mother, who was horribly trying to hold their laughter in. I stuck my tongue out at them and they busted out laughing again. Oh boy, what would I do without these guys. I sit in the couch and cross my arms.
"You know, the carnival closes in five hours." I said, peering at my nails casually.
"Okay, let's go. " Zach said, sobering up. Mom came back out and gave us each a cupcake and we ate them up before we pulled put of the driveway.
"The carnival here we come!!!" Lana sticks her head out the window and grinned. I smiled as Maddi and Zach started yelling out the car window. You know, if my parents knew that they do this every time we go somewhere, they wouldn't let me ride in the same car as they did. My dad would probably have me take the bus to meet them there.
"C'mon Kat, live a little." Maddi said to me. My brain went into overdrive as flashbacks occured.

"C'mon Kat, live a little." Taylor slurred. I finally gave in and pulled the bottle out of his hands. Taking a swig, I screamed "wooh". I continued taking swigs until i felt woozy and kind of sick to my gut.
"There you go, isn't it fun?" Vicky grinded on Taylor's lap. We were in a limo. Yep, a limo.
"Zach, touch her." Vicky grinned at us with wide eyes that seemed to look through our souls. He had been drinking alot tonight because Vicky's peer pressure works on everyone. He reached for me, a sickening smirk playing his lips. His hands came into contact with the hem of my top. The limo had pulled up and I hadn't noticed. He leaned closer to me and I suddenly didn't want this. I leaned back.
"No Zach. Stop." I said, as he disobeyed my orders, ripping my top off. He then pinned me down to the seat and grinded on me. Taylor then slid my pants off. I kicked and screamed for Vicky to help me but she was laughing at my state of helplessness. My best friend was letting them do this to me. I finally kicked Taylor in the face and bit Zach on the nose when he came down to kiss me. I clenched down hard and thrashed some more. Finally, I got them off me. Angrily, I bounced on Taylor to give him a peice of my mind but the door to the limo opened, revealing me, in sexy underwear that Vicky pressured me to wear, on top of Taylor. I peered at my entire cheerleading squad, the jocks and basically the entire popular clique that I used to be a part of. They stared and laughed at me. I swiped for my clothes but they weren't there. I looked to see that Vicky had my clothes. She was snickering like a maniac. The funny fact being, she didn't even look drunk anymore. Now I'm not a nerd but I'm sure that you can't be drunk one second and not the next.
Nothing like this should happen to any freshman, with the acception of Vicky-I mean Victoria.

"She doesn't have to." Zach stood up for me, the scene obviously replaying in his mind too. His expression dropped and I lean my forehead against the window, which was surprisingly cool. It didn't take long to get to the carnival. Lana and Maddi ran out the door and disappeared in the crowd, this time leaving me with Zach. He locked the car and we walked in the carnival. He started to slow down and I pouted, knowing that something was definitely wrong.

"Zach, whatever is bothering you, just tell me. You're my best friend." I held his shoulder when he stopped. He nodded and gave a small smile.

"I'm leaving." He whispered, sadly.

"W-what?" I asked.

"I'm moving in two days." He says, giving me a pointed look.

"WHAT? Why didn't you tell me?" I yelled a little louder than I should have. He placed his arms around my waist and pulled me into him.
I squeezed him with just as much force as he did with me. By the time we parted, tears were rolling off my face.

"B-but you can't leave. I need you." I sobbed. His arms pulled me back to him but it wasn't a hug this time. He leaned down and placed his lips against mine. I hesitantly gave in to him even though I had no idea what I was doing. I somehow found my fingers tightening around his neck like I had seen in movies and read in books. His lips moved against mine. After a while, I couldn't breathe so I pulled back. We were both panting hard.

"Kat, I'm sorry for that night. I was selfish and didn't want to ruin my reputation. Im so thankful for the fact that you forgave me and allowed me to become your friend." He stroked my hair and held our eye-contact.

"Why are you leaving?" I ask.

"My old man got a new job offer." He said, a dim smile spreading across his lips. The same lips that just kissed me. The same lips I just kissed back. I wonder what this means for us? We stand there looking at each other for a moment before he takes my hand and we head to the ring toss booth.
