Zack’s POV
“Pick up, pick up, pick up!” I say into the phone. I’ve been trying to get ahold of my best friend, Noah, for the past 10 minutes. I’m trying to get my friends and I together to hang out. I’ve already called and talked to Jenny and Perrie, they can hang out.
We live in California and we’re all really close. We met in middle school and we’ve been friends since. It was our friend, Kyle’s, birthday and he had a huge birthday party. That we met at so he’s the reason we’re all friends.
“Hey, this is Noah. I think you know what to do… BEEP.” Noah’s voice reads, so I’ll have one of the girls try. Noah will most definitely pick up to Perrie. They have a little thing going on. Only the four of us know though. I create a new text message to her.
(Z=Zack, P=Perrie)
Z- Hey Perrie, I can’t get ahold of Noah. Wanna try for me? ;)
P- He’s sick! L I just got off the phone with him, he’s throwing up :P
Man this sucks, I’m close with Perrie, but not so close with Jenny. Ever since I found out she likes me it’s been awkward. This was the first time we’re hanging out since I found out. I’d be lying if I said t nervous.
Jenny’s POV
I cannot believe Zack just called. He wants to get together with all of us?! After everything I told him? Maybe he forgave me? I hope. I had to tell him how I felt. It didn’t feel right not telling him. So I text Noah.
(J=Jenny, N=Noah)
J- Hey, can I talk to you about something?
N- What’s up, girly? J
I think about how I should word it. Zack is his best friend. I don’t want to insult him, then have Noah tell Zack.
J- Okayyyy, so you know how I’m hanging out with Zack and Perrie today?
N- Jenny!! Don’t worry about what Zack thinks of you!! I know he’s my best friend, but he’s ignorant and stupid. If he can’t see how beautiful you really are, he’s not worth it! I don’t want you to get hurt again, we know what happened last time. I hate to see you hurt, I love you like a sister, and you know that. So please don’t make the wrong choice again.
J- Thanks, and love you too! J
I send that and sit, thinking, should I give up on Zack? My thoughts get interrupted when I hear a honk of a car. I get up and look out the window of my brightly colored room. It was Zack and Perrie in his red Shelby Mustang. I slide my iPhone into my back pocket of my white shorts that I’m wearing with a black tank with a white anchor. Then I slip on my black Toms.
I walk down the stairs, then out the door, locking it behind me. I walk to the curb and climb in the back seat. Immediately I felt out of place.
‘I shouldn’t be here’ I thought.
As I get in, I notice Zack and Perrie’s appearances, Zack is wearing a white OBEY tank with a khaki shorts and a black OBEY snapback plus white Supras. Perrie, on the other hand, is wearing a pink floral print dress and white sparkly heels.
“Hey guys,” I spoke up, while putting on my seatbelt.
Zack kept his eyes on the road, but Perrie turned to look back at me.
“You okay, Jenny?” she asked.
“Um, I’m not feeling so good.” I lie. “I think I’m gonna stay home, but you guys go hang out.”
Perrie’s POV
I don’t know why Jenny is acting like this, she was fine earlier on the phone. I glanced over at Zack, he had guilt written all over his face.
Oh god. I thought. What’d he do now?
