Two Worlds Collide

Chapter Eight

"Really, Tess. It doesn't matter." Zach smiled. 

I sighed and closed my eyes. "Fine." I whispered. 

"Forget I even said anything. It's not a big deal. Obviously he's a nice guy. I'm just being stupid." 

At this point I couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or nice, so I just stared at him. 

"I mean.....Damn. You'd be adorable together." 

I rolled my eyes. "Zach, knock it off."

"What? I'm telling you what you wanna hear, aren't I? Why are you even here? Shouldn't you be with your precious William?"

"You know what. I don't know what put you in such a pissy mood, because if I recall correctly, I didn't say much when Will was here. But it's freaking ridiculous now. Talk to me when you get your head out of your ass." 

I got up and  left out the back door. 

God! Why was he being such a jerk?

I heard footsteps following me. "Go away." I muttered. 

"Tessa." Cameron grabbed my arm and stopped me.

"What, Cameron?" I asked.

"I'm sorry about Zach. He was a real butt. I would tell you why he acted like that, but that's for him to tell you."

"Thanks. And I wish he would just TELL me instead of acting like this. It's not cute."

"I know, he will soon. I promise. He just doesn't wanna freak you out. And obviously, Will made him jealous."

I sighed. "I figured that much....But why? It's not like I was all over Will." 

Cameron nodded. "Yeah, you weren't. Like I said, you need to hear it from him."  

"Fine. I'll listen to him. But he better not act like a five year old." 

"Thank you. That's all I can ask of you. Besides helping me. You will still help me, right?" 

I nodded. "Of course. I promised you I would. I won't break that promise."
