Learning to like the popular boy

Secret

Its been three weeks since Russell and I have been dating. We're doing fine..no fights! Zach has been acting weird and kept his distance with talking. We only talk in school and barely hangout. Its sad.. Hes my bestie!

Its now Wednsday. Today was a beautiful day! It was October now so i wore a pair of black jeggings, a baby yellow cashmere sweater, and brown flats with a black bow.

It was lunch time. I was starving! I quickly ran to my locker and grabbed my lunch and headed outside. Someone's hands grabbed my waist and pulled me.

I turned my head and saw Zach's big blue eyes looking at me.

"Merp" i chirped

"Hey there, can i eat with you?" Zach asked poking my nose.

I poked his cheek back.

"Yes" i nodded

He pulled me into the lunch room. I waited by the entrance and saw him buy Coke and chips. Naomi sent me a death glare. I rolled my eyes and saw Zach wave to his table. Naomi sent him a flirty smile. Zach grabbed my arm and pulled me out. Naomi looked pist. I flipped her off and smiled turning and walking next to zach.

I ran to my tree and plopped myself down. Zach sat across from me and opened his coke. I bit my peanut butter granola bar and laid back. Zach looked at me as if i was some famous actor...speechless.

"What?" I asked

"Nothing" he shook his head laughing dryly and looking down. I tackled him down and giggled. He propped himself up on his elbows.

"What is wrong?" I whined

"Its nothing," zach laughed

I rolled my eyes and pouted crossing my arms

"Such a baby" zach shook his .head

"I am not," i hit his shoulder playfully

I went back to my seat and munched on my apple

"So, how are you and Russell?" Zach questioned

"Fine" i made no contact

"Yeah okay, what's wrong?" He asked crawling over and sitting next to me.

"Really were fine"

"Listen we're like bestfriends, we tell each other everything. Besides Scott, your my only trustworthy friend. At lunch all those people arnt my real friends. You are, so tell me what's wrong" he smiled throwing his arms around my shoulder.

"Its just Russell and I only kiss and go out to eat it cuddle and watch movies. We don't really talk much, and theres no real chemistry" i frowned laying my head in Zach's shoulder.

"He's not like he was when you guys were friends." Zach commented

"Ya" i murmured.

"Maybe its best to break up, hes obviously not the one" zach played with a piece of my hair. Zach has changed for me. He used to be a self centered asshole. But, he's now a sweet fun guy!

"Maybe" i bit my cheek

The lunch bell rang and Zach helped me up.

••••••••

It was the end of the day. Zach was my ride and he had lacrosse.

He came by my locker all dressed.

"Hi" i smiled

"Hey" he smiled back.

I closed my locker and looked at him.

"Don't forget im your ride." He pointed at me
