Chapter one

*Zara*

"You don't understand, Zara" Noah said, resting his head on my shoulder. "He's just so cute, and he doesn't even care."

"I know, babe" I replied, running a hand through his hair. "But you know what Ezra's like. He's so oblivious, it's not like he's purposely shutting you out. I'll tell you what, he probably doesn't even know you like him."

Noah pouted. "If he thinks that, he must be thick, because I do so much for him, and he doesn't appreciate it."

"Actually, he does. He always says thank you. He just doesn't know that you want to get with him" I explained, watching confusion spread on his face.

"So I have a chance with him?" He questioned, looking up at me.

I nodded. "Theoretically, yes. Don't get too confident though, just because there's a chance he likes you, it doesn't mean he actually does. Ask him out."

"What if he says no?" Noah asked me.

I rolled my eyes. "If he says no, he says no. Nothing bad is going to happen. It's not like he's homophobic, the boy's a walking dildo."

"Yeah, I guess you're right" Noah said, removing his head from my shoulder as Ezra walked over to us.

Ezra grinned, showing off his dimples. "Hey, guys, how are you going?"

"Good" I replied, smiling back. "Wanna sit with us? I know that you're just jealous that Noah is stealing me from you."

Ezra rolled his eyes, sitting down next to Noah. "Yeah, sure, you keep telling yourself that, Zara."

I stood up. "Actually, I just remembered that I have to go talk to Everett. He needed help with something. But you guys can stay here. Have fun."

I waved, leaving them, trying not to chuckle at the thankful look Noah sent me. I was just hoping that by the next time I saw Noah, he'd be a taken man. I saw Everett sitting with the new girl and I rolled my eyes. Trust him to start chatting up the fresh meat. "Everett, what are you doing?"

He frowned, looking up at me. "Shit, I'm in trouble, aren't I?" He turned back to the girl he was talking to. "Look, Lara, it's been great talking to you. I just need to talk to Zara, she's like my half girlfriend."

I snorted, walking off with him. "Half girlfriend, my ass. Where's Carter?"

Everett shrugged. "Aw man, I don't know. He got pissed at me for texting some girl, but I was just giving her our homework. So, now I'm pissed at him for making stupid assumptions without talking to me first."

"You do understand where he's coming from though, right? You cheated on him, I'm sure he doesn't feel too secure in this relationship. You're lucky he even took you back" I said.

He nodded. "Okay, that was like two months ago. Plus, I was drunk. Whatever, we moved on from that. Do you think you could go talk to him for me?"

I rolled my eyes. "Only if you promise to stop talking to random girls. You're gay for fucks sake. And don't flirt with other guys either."

He nodded, holding one of my hands. "Of course. I think he's in the boys toilets, crying. Good luck getting in there."

I sighed, letting go of his hand and walking into the boys toilet, turning back for a second. "If I get in trouble for being in here, I'm telling them you forced me."
