"Like Father, Like Daughter"

Based on Episode of Shameless - Season 4 episode 3 - "Like Father, Like Daughter"

"So what happened with Zack I left before I could find out." Brent said as sat down in the cafeteria area.

"Oh nothing. He told me he had a girlfriend and I went home early." I lie. He frowns "oh my god. I am so sorry I didn't know he had a girlfriend."

"Nah it's cool, at least he told me about it." I say drinking my coffee. Brent checks his watch and panics when he sees the time "oh shit I better go. Bye Alissa." He runs off.

I sit by myself drinking my coffee and finish my mathematics paper. "Alissa. Alissa. Alissa." Zack says sitting with me.

"Zack don't sit near me. I don't want anyone suspecting anything." I whisper he leans over whispering "Everyone basically saw us at the party, what's the point. Might as well just kiss you again." I'm sure no one saw us, half the people don't know who I am or even care.

"I have morals. I'm not going to kiss someone who has a girlfriend." I say packing up my book he puts his hand to stop me "Alissa I know you want to."

I stand up pushing his hand off me. "No." Zack passes me his number on a piece of paper "Just in case."

"Zack stop." I say pushing it back to him. He pushes it to me "Just in case." He repeats. I take it "This doesn't mean I'll call you I'm only taking it to shut you up." I say walking off.

He smirks "Sure bye. Alissa." As soon as he gone I shove it in the bin what a fucking weirdo.

An C. How did I get a C in my test? I worked so hard. Some boy next to called George looked over at my paper "You struggling a bit there?"

"Oh what. Um yeah got a C not my best work." I joke he laughs "your funny." I look at his paper he got an A.

"Wow good work. An A I might need to get some tips from you." He laughs and then goes serious "you can if you want. Or you can get other tips from me as well."

I awkwardly laugh "hahaha. Oh god your serious uummm."

"I'm joking, honestly this teacher is just a bit of a bitch. She marks a bit too harshly." He informs me smiling. Thank god he isn't another Zack. "Yeah she is."

As I'm in lesson my phone starts buzzing I look around for it. Once I find it I check to see who's calling me. My father?

I hold my finger on the accept button. No. Don't answer it. He isn't worth your time.

What went down was horrible. After seeing Ava I went home. But he texted me a few days after the meeting and said he felt it was weird seeing us mix with his new family. He said Pam didn't like the idea of us being near Ava.

This broke my heart. I felt like he was trying to be my father again but I was wrong I'm just a bad memory of what his old life used to look like.

It's now the evening and I go to Lips dorm room cause I don't want to be alone, obviously I don't tell him that I just tell him I came to say hi. Then I stay for hours.

"I got a C! Me, I got a C. Can you fricking believe it?" I tell him pacing around his room as he sits on his bed reading some world history book.

"Well maybe you should study more?" Amanda says from Ron's bed. I look over at her I'm seriously not in the mood right now "Shut the fuck up."

"I was just saying-" "I wasn't asking for your opinion was I." I bite back. Lip sits up taller "Alissa, calm down. I'll help you study okay."

"Fine." I give Amanda a last dirty look and go and sit next to Lip on his bed. I hate that girl so much she is just in everyone's business.

The next day at my economics class I get my 2nd paper back. I look at the A circled on the front. Yesss. I need to tell Lip.

I turn to the asshole called George next to me "ha suck it I got an A." That's payback for yesterday when I got a C and he laughed at me.

"So what, an A is nothing to a person who got an A+." He boasts I look at him defeated. What the hell he one ups me every time.

I cross my arms and walk outside of my dorm. All by myself with huge numbers of people around me all chatting. I probably look like such a lonely idiot.

I walk with my hands in my jacket pocket "Alissa come hang." It's Ron shouting my name as he walks with Lip. I go over to them trying not to bump into some other kids.

"Hey so I got a C the other day but then I did another exam and got an A." I tell them. Lip looks at me "Really that was all thanks to me. You know I'm getting my paper back today."

"Bet you won't get an A." I tease poking him, he rolls his eyes and speaks to Ron "Thanks for letting me use your laptop."

As he's saying that I look around, everyone is standing still. Not another fucking flash mob.

I kind of makes me laugh you know, how they are so still. "Another flash mob?" Lip says sounding so confused and that is the icing on the cake. I burst out laughing walking on with him.

"Right. Okay why don't we join. Stay still." I add he just laughs "If you want cause I'm not fucking doing it."
