Chapter 3

"All guys say that girls look hot! And girls like it!" Zakk protests.

"Well it's wrong! Girls are not thermometers and they are not temperatures!" I argue

"But we aren't referring you to as a temperature!"

"Oh really?" I raise my brow slightly.

"The sun is really hot and stuff right. So we are saying that girls are hotter than the sun." Really idiot?

"Thats still has to do with temperature Zakk."

"How?"

"Oh God! You know it's good that you got looks."

"What's that supposed to mean!?" His face falls as I say the words.

"It means that if you weren't no one would ever hire you."

"Wow that hurts. I guess if that's what you think of me I don't have to tell you what I wanted to tell you."

"Are you threatening me?" I question. Then I turn away and walk the other direction just to see what he will do.

"What? Wait I'm sorry. Hey please come on I was joking! Hals! Talk to me Hals! Please I'll do anything!" He pleads.

"Anything?" I stop and wait.
"Yeah anything." He says from behind me.

"Take me to dinner tonight." I demand.

"What?"

"I said take me out to dinner tonight."

"Why?"

"You said anything so I want you to take me out to dinner. I am tired of eating ramen and potato chips and gatorade for dinner." Zakk laughs a little at my comment.

"I thought you said you liked Ramen?" Zakk raises his eyebrow and looks down at me.

"I do but I don't" I say walking past him again to go to my dorm.

"Hals can you please just wait up i'm not that good at this." I stare at him confused.

"Good at what?" I ask giving him a strange glance. He rubs the back of his neck and reaches out for my hand.

"Its... its just that I..... no forget it!" He says turning away. Nooo say it Zakk please just tell me you like me please. I decide to take it in my own hands. I turn his face to me and and smash my lips against his. He is shocked at first when my lips meet his soft ones but then he kisses me back. He grabs my waist and pulls me closer to him. The kiss last long but not long enough. He's the one that pulled away.

"Zakk I'm ................ I am so sorry I..." I look down. When I look up he is smiling like a goof.

"You have no idea how long I wanted to do that." He says. He pulls me back and kisses me again. It was like a dream he kissed like a pro. This time I break the kiss well my stomach does. I look at him and he laughs a little.

"You hungry?" he asks. I nod my head really quick. He grabs my hand and takes my across campus, to this diner just outside of the campus. We ordered a smorgasbord of food. Once we left we started walking back to the campus.

"I feel like I haven't eaten that good in years!" Zakk laughs at me a little.

"Glad you liked it, anyways here we are." I look at him and then the dorms.

"Oh well then I guess I will see you later then." I stand there for a second. Then he wraps his arms around me and gives me a kiss. He pulls away and whispers in my ear.

"Night princess." The he leaves. I walk inside the dorms and make my way down the corridor. I begin to put my key in the lock. The door rips open and my key falls. I pick it up and Sher drags me into the room.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH! WHAT WAS THAT!?" She screams. I just look at her a minute trying to comprehend all that just happened. I walk past her in my own little world and make my way to the girls bathroom. I grab my towel off the sink and walk to the showers, I take off my clothes and toss them to the floor. I look down and realize I still had Zakk's hoodie. I turn on the water and walk inside. The water is already hot and it feels good on my skin. I was in the middle of washing my hair when the lights shut off. I shut off the water.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" I screamed. The curtain opened and coldness hit my body. I felt shivers down my spine. I was pitchblack. Someone steps inside the shower and grabs my arms. He or she pushes me into the wall and starts kissing me. I try to break free but the person is to strong. Finally i get to breath.

"Zakk?" I feel the strange breath on me.

"You wish." The voice whispered in my ear.
