PRETEND ° ZARIEL

10 // never would've figured

Z A C H °
~ I was inside the school trying to get my locker together when I got a notification from Twitter. I usually ignore all my notifications and just use the app for actually tweeting, so I just shook it off and opened my phone without looking at the notification.

A lot of people have joined me on YouNow like Mario, Weston and the twins. A lot of us have also started YouTube and Musical.ly. We've grown a bit on each social media and I feel that this is something that I'll enjoy doing.

it was about time to walk to my first class. All I can think of is Ariel... I have the same class as her for first period; Mrs.Garcia in English.

We haven't talked or communicated in any way but I miss her more than anything... I still remember seeing her kissing Ryan but I honestly didn't care. I still love her and I still miss all the memories we have together. I remember our cuddle sessions and me feeling butterflies when she fell asleep next to me... I miss all of that and Ariel herself.

*•*•*•*
It's been a couple of minutes since I got to English and I'm just randomly sitting here. To my left I have this guy named David and Ariel sits right in front of him. I just stare at her... I know it's creepy but I can never get over how gorgeous she is or how much I miss her... Her hugs; her laugh, everything!

Mrs.Garcia is going over something we went over the last week before break which I remember and don't feel the need to be paying attention. I open my phone and remember that random notification that I got this morning.

I decided to actually look at it. I opened up to the page where it shows all of your notifs and I see that someone mentioned me in a funny video. This girl has been supporting me since I started broadcasting and were mutuals. I decided to just stay on Twitter and look through my timeline. The first tweet that pops up on the 'while you were away' bar is from Ariel. It's something that I would've never thought she would tweet...
She congratulated me for hitting 2k on YouNow... I knew exactly what she would've done if we were still on talking terms. She would've ran up to me and hugged me the tightest she could... I wish that's what would have happened.

I look up to se Ariel still paying attention as she always does. She looks over at me and quickly looks back. I miss her so much...

*•*•*•*
I walk back home and just think about everything. I get a text;

Julie // wanna hang out today? 😘
Me // um, sure. why not?
Julie // five thirty at the park ?
Me // yeah.
Julie // see you there ❣
Me // mhm.

I don't like Julie.. But I do remember her being obsessed with me when we first got to high school and wanting to be with me. I decided to hang out with her but she's far from a match to Ariel... Ariel is more laid back and frankly; adorable.

I go through the front door and just plop myself on the couch. I don't want to go to this stupid park; unless I go with someone I like. I like Julie but I don't see her in any other way unless it's in a friend way...
*•*•*•*
I've been watching tv for the past hours and see that it's time to start heading to the park. I get up and put my shoes on; I don't really care how I look. It's not worth it.

At one point I get to park and see Julie already there.

"Hi!"
"Hey Julie."
"I brought some Taco Bell incase you want any."
"Thanks."
"I've been meaning to tell you something. I know you like Ariel. It's obvious. I like you, but if you want to go to Ariel, you should! You would make a great couple."
"Wow... Thanks Julie. I'll try but honestly she hates me.
"She'll get over it! You're a great guy Zach; she doesn't hate you."

I never thought Julie would've known that I like Ariel or even support it. I still want to hang out with her, Julie's cool. I honestly want to be her friend.

For the rest of the day we just hang out and as it starts getting dark, I walk back home.

I do the usual as eat a small snack and talk with my mom about random stuff. It's only ten so I decide to broadcast for a bit.

*•*•*•*
I broadcasted for a while and got to 1,800 viewers. That's honestly a lot. I'm really proud of myself for going; even after losing the most important person in my life besides my mom.

I've gotten ready for bed and lay down, my thoughts taking over. I look at the clock. 11:11.

"11:11. Ariel."
