(Book 1) High School Crush: Not Meant To Be

Pancakes! (16)

Who wouldn't know more about revenge than Zac?

I started to open his contact, but of course Aaron being an A, I saw his name first.

Aaron is her brother, maybe he'll help somehow. I really hoped he understands, plus I have a date card that I think I'll pull.

Me: Hey

I wonder if he's a fast texter. I know he's probably busy with sports and practice. I might not even get a text back until later.

My assumption was true. It was hours until my phone finally buzzed.

Aaron: Wassup? Sorry, practice

Me: You're cool. But I was wondering if I could use that date card

Aaron: You can, you can. I was planning on talking to you anyway, heard you left school pretty upset

Me: Yeah..

Aaron: You alright now?

Me: Better

Aaron: Cool. How about after school tomorrow and after I'm done practicing, I'll pick you up at 5:30?

Me: Sounds fine with me, where are we going?

Aaron: Let it be a surprise 😊

Me: Okaaay 😅

I don't even know if Aaron knows about Brittany confronting me. I should probably tell him, I just have to find the right time to.

I spent the whole time in every class somewhat confused it we happened to learn something new. It's like I miss school on all the wrong days.

I had a couple things I need to catch up and learn, but I'm lucky in other classes it's not much.

"Stressed?" Zac asked seeing that I brought my make up work to lunch.

"Not really, just busy,"

"Need help?" He asked and I looked at him. "You don't even do your own homework," I answered and looked back at my papers.

"I have people who are good at this stuff, they'll finish it really quick, you gotta trust me,"

"No. Plus they don't have the same handwriting as me,"

"Simple fix, they'll write the answers lightly, you erase and write over it what they did. They'll never know." I shook my head at his slick logic.

I looked up from my papers and saw Cassie looking at me from her table. I ignored her and took a couple fries from Zac's tray.

Zac looked at me then at what I was looking at. "Don't pay attention to her," he told me like it's not what I was trying to not already do.

Cassie didn't come up to me or bother me throughout the day, which was a plus because I didn't want to speak to her.

At the end of the day I spent time rushing home so I can figure out what to wear to this mystery place Aaron was planning on taking me. It would 500 times better if only I knew where though.

"Wow," Aaron started when I opened the door to the car. "If I would've known you were gonna dress nice today, I would've done the same."

He wore some blue jeans and a buttoned shirt. I wore a romper and put my hair in a bun.

"Aw, you look sharp too," I complimented as I got into the passenger's seat.

"Ready to go?"

"Ready as I'll ever be," I answered and he started the car putting it in drive.

"How was school?" He asked to get a conversation going.
