"Does anyone have an idea where Zach is?" I asked walking towards the boys. "Nah". Jack replies in simplicity as the rest of them agreed. I nodded staring into space for awhile thinking of a place might've been. "Why are you looking for him?" Jack asked. He laced back against the chair folding his arms together. He looked at me again before shaking his head in ignorance waiting for my response.

"Oh, no reason. I have to give him back his sweater he let me borrow at the park from last night". I lied before piercing my lips together into a line, trying to keep my straight face together. Jack looked at me again like he knew that I was lying.

"Maybe he's at the cliff". Said Corbyn. "Yeah, he always goes there when's somethings wrong. Maybe you should go check up on him". Jonah looks up at me while Daniel nods in agreement. Jack looks at me again and bit his lip. He definitely had the suspicion that I just wanted to see Zach for no reason at all.


As I finally approached the cliff, Zach sat there with his knees to his chest looking out at the view. His hair flowed against the wind while the ocean breeze riffled through me. I quietly removed my clothes behind him as he still began to look out at the sky. Giving myself a head start I ran past him jumping into the water. Pushing my feet up again I gazed out of the water catching my breath. I look up at the cliff seeing Zach stand up. His laugh echoed the ocean before he removed his clothes and tossed them along side of mine. "You constantly make me crazy, Cindy!" Zach took a breath before jumping into the water. The water splashed against my skin as his head popped against the water.

We both chuckled as I swam closer to him again. "I make you crazy?" I asked as water drippled from his face. He gulped pulling me closer to him. A silence filled the air as I stared deep into his eyes.

"I just got Deja Vu" Zach whispered as I broke into laughter. Our laughs and jokes died down. I felt Zack's breath hitch my face. He slowly grabbed my hands and wrapped them around his neck. "This is the part where we kiss". I said breaking the silence surrounding us. My eyes locking with his again as he let out a deep chuckle. His hand meets my face as he wrapped my leg around his chest. Without hesitation, he finally pressed his lips against mine. Our lips moving in sync as the waves of the water pushed against us. The sunset died down and the sky was a midnight blue.

I continued to press my head against Zach's chest as we still kicked our feet up in the lake. "Nobody can know". Zach inquired.
