Chapter Five / Edited

Zack's POV

I checked the time. 1:39. I looked out the window. No Summer. I looked down, I saw strawberry frosting and dough.

"Where is Summer?" I sighed as I continued looking down.

Just then my front door opened. I turned around to see Summer in a green shirt and short denim shorts.

"Hey Zack, sorry I'm late, I lost track of time and I had to change because I was sweating." She said jumping in and getting the apron on the desk.

"No problem." I said and smiled. "Shall we?" I asked, she looked confused. "I mean shall we start baking?" I said and chuckled. She giggled, "We shall."

She giggled at what I said.

~~~AnHourAndAHalfLater~~~

I put the cake in the oven. I leaned on the sink and folded my arms.

I looked at Summer and smirked. Just then she started laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" I asked and chuckled. She moved forward and wiped the upper part of my lip with her finger. Their was strawberry frosting on it.

We started to laugh again.

"Can I tell you something... Nobody else knows?" I asked when we stopped. "Sure." She said and smiled. "I don't actually have a crush on Tomika." I said. "What?!" She asked surprised.

I nodded.

"Who do you like then!" She asked smiling. "I can't tell you." I said and smirked. She laughed and rolled her eyes

"Since I told you something you need to tell me something nobody else knows to." I say with a smirk. She stopped laughing and looked down. I stopped leaning and walked to her.

"Are you okay? If you don't want to tell you don't ha-" "I HATE TOMIKA SO MUCH!" She shouted at me, I stepped backward and blocked myself with my hand. Her face was turning red.

"B-but aren't yo-u guys best f-fri-ends?" I asked stuttering. "NO! I HATE HER!" She screamed. I looked at her with wide eyes.

"GO AHEAD! TELL EVERYBODY IN OUR CLASS I HATE TOMIKA!!! TELL EVERYBODY I AM THE MEANEST PERSON IN THE WORLD! TELL! TELL!" She shouted more, until she stopped and started crying, she covered her face crying.

I put my arm down and walked to her. I started brushing her hair. "I-I thoug-ht your sc-scare-ed of me." She said still crying. "I'm not and I'll never be." I said hugging her.

"Please don't tell anybody about my hatred towards Tomika." She said sobbing. "Don't worry I'll keep it, it's our secret." I said.

Ding.

I turned around to look at the oven. The cake is finished. I let go of Summer and got the cake out. I put it on the counter to cool off.

"Sum, let's sit down." I said, she moved her hands from her face and nodded. We walked to my room.

She jumped on my bed and grabbed a pillow. She sat up holding the pillow.

"You know Zack, I really appreciate everything your doing for me." She said and smiled, I smiled back.

"You know Zack, I really love you." Summer said without any expression. I looked at her and gave her a friendly smile, but deep inside I am fanboy-ing!!!

"As a brother." She said without any expression again. I still had my friendly smile on, but deep inside my heart shattered.

"I love you as a sister to Sum." I said. I really wanted to simply say I love you.

"So, why do you hate Tomika?" I asked. "Because Freddy likes her, and I feel she likes Freddy back, they would usually hang out together." She said and sighed.

"But in kindergarten you weren't always jealous if Freddy liked someone else, and if that someone liked him back." I said remembering.

"Yeah, but when we were 7, while it was summer vacation, I went to Summer Camp. And met a kid, his name was-"
