I Can't Fight This Feeling (Zachary Gordon x Reader)

A Fresh Start

(My (as in author) P.O.V.)

[BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP]

(Y/n) bolts upright in her bed with groggy eyes. Her mess of bed head was strewed across her face.

"Sweetie," her mother called from downstairs, "it's your first day of school here. Don't be late. Zach will come and you two can walk to the bus stop."

"Okay mom." (Y/n) replied in a monotone sense. What to wear..

(Y/n) walked to her closet and grabbed what felt like a comfy t-shirt and jeans.

"Good god! I look like the grudge." (Y/n) commented to herself.

She grabbed her hairbrush and got all the tangles out of the (h/l) (h/c) hair.

'One thing down' she thought.

Next she grabbed her mascara and eyeliner and began her process of makeup.

(Y/n) got dressed into a Panic! At The Disco shirt and black jeans. She went downstairs and made a lunch and ate cereal for breakfast. She decided to relax and take her time with breakfast. A sigh escaped the lips of (y/n).

'Sure will be different without (f/n) and (other f/n). Just when we were becoming best friends.' (Y/n) took a bite of her cereal and focused on the taste of the crunchy goodness instead of sad stuff. As she chewed, she noticed the flavour of the peanut butter and chocolate puff balls that made up her Reese's® Puffs. Half way through her morning meditation, there was a knock on the door.

"I got it mom!" She said.

She opened the door to see the smiling face of a boy she met the other day.

"Hey, (y/n)."

"Hi, Zach." She replied. They stood there in silence for what felt like a long awkward moment until it was broken by
(y/n).

"U-Uh, come in." She gestured. He walked inside and followed (y/n) to her dining room table. (Y/n) sat down to quickly finish her breakfast, but tried not to look like a sloppy pig.

'I probably look disgusting.' She thought to herself as she felt like she was scarfing down her meal.

"Take you time," he said, "I don't want you to choke." He chuckled nervously and lightly.

Not knowing what to do or say, (y/n) just laughed a small laugh and said, "Yeah, though it might be funny to watch."

"U-Um- Di-Did you j-just say that..?" Zach asked slowly.

"Eh-Ehhhh, um- I-I uh, um ne-never mind.. I said nothing."

Zach's P.O.V.

Did she really just say that? I don't even know what to say to that. So in turn, I studied her. She wasn't looking at me so that was a plus. I kept on looking and saw how her face was red. My assumption is that her face is heated up in some sort of embarrassment. She probably is very nervous. I mean. First day at a new school, no friends but a famous boy known as me. In fact all the girls at school will pull me away from her. Especially since they see that I hang out with her more. It won't just be girls though. The guys at school are all around me all the time. It's sad though, because I know that the guys just want some sort of money or just want something from me. The girls always want 2 things from me. Some sort of gift and my love. I've dated a few of the fans at school, and every single one turned out to be a huge mistake.

"Eh-Ehhhh, um- I-I uh, um ne-never mind.. I said nothing." She spoke up. I looked more up at (y/n) and saw her hair-hidden face looking down at the table in front of her. She's beauti-. No. I can't love her. She could be another mistake like the others. I'm not going through that at all. I'm done with it. I need to listen to myself more. I couldn't have loved her from the start. It's too crazy. I will only refer to her as a friend. That's it. To add to it, I have a girlfriend! Though, I'm not sure I want to stay with her. I'm with Peyton List. She just, I think there's someone better for me. I can feel it like it's right in front of me.
