**Zara, March 1st**

"I'm so obsessed with Springtime." I sigh happily, putting the last batch of Cookies in the Oven while Marco turns on some Music for us. "SO, what is this Bake Sale for, again?" I question.

"This Middle school that my mom volunteers at sometimes." He responds, coming back to the Kitchen so we can start packing up the treats. "They need money to buy new Soccer Uniforms for their team, and they also just need some Money for a few things around the school. They call it a Spring Festival, it's at the Central Plaza. It's a whole fair type thing." He explains.

"Aww, Middle Schoolers? I wish I was still a Middle Scholer."

Even though I was fugly, life was easy back then.

Says the one who wanted to kill herself in middle school.

Oop-

"I hated Middle School. I went through puberty, and it wasn't pretty." He shudders.

"I wanted to die in Middle School. But at least I was cute..." I shrug in response, earning a laugh from him.

"Your boyfriend coming back soon, right?" He asks, and I smile happily.

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes.

Since Kade left, I think it's safe to say we've been doing good. We call and text everyday, and thankfully we still act the exact same toward each other and it's not like weird or awkward now because we're dating. I was scared it would get weird because like now it's official but nope, he still calls me dumb and tells me I need Therapy almost every day. Still the same, hehehe.

"I am excited." I nod happily. "You know what he said to me? He had the nerve to say he could actually beat me in Call of Duty."

"I dunno, you kinda suck at call of duty-"

"Excuse me." I scoff, and he smiles. "Okay, but he doesn't even play. At least I try."

"You don't try, Zara. You literally just tap all the buttons and hope you win."

"That's trying, okay?" I defend, making him laugh.

We get to the Fair thing around Noon, finding his Mom already there with little Tori in a stroller behind the stand, taking a lil nap.

I wanna take a nap, too.

Lucky baby.

"Where do you want these?" I ask, holding up a batch of Chocolate Chip cookies.

"You can put them wherever you want. Marco will write out the prices, then put them up in front." She responds, and I smile back.

"Okie dokie." I reply, and begin to set up the stand and make it look as pretty as I can. "We should play Music." I tell Marco once his Mom walks off to find somewhere to change and feed Tori.

"Lo-Fo hip hop." He responds.

"You have a weird obsession with Lo-Fi music." I respond, and he shrugs.

"It makes me Zen." He says, grinning.

"Uh-huh." I nod back.

"What do you wanna listen to, then?"

"Oh, I don't care. As long as it's good music."

"And is Lo-Fi good music?" He questions. I think for a second, before shrugging again and continuing to set stuff up while he makes the Price board.

"Miss?" A soft voice asks from behind me. I turn around, seeing a freaking adorable little girl standing there playing with her fingers nervously while her blond hair blows in the soft wind.
