I glared at that sticky note and then tore it up and threw it in the ground.

I should've let Zach see it.

Shit.

I quickly ran over to his house and let myself in with the key. I stomped over to his bedroom and opened the door.

"Evelyn just wrote me a note that said she was going to take me from you."

"Babe are you just jealous? You don't have to lie to tell me that." He said walking over and hugging me.

"No. She actually said that." I said muffled into his shoulder

"I'm sure she was kidding. No one is taking me from you. Do you want to stay over tonight?"

I said yes and we fell asleep with our hand entwined.

...

Zach and I woke up very late and went to the kitchen to find Evelyn there. AGAIN!

"Hey there!" She said smiling evilly at me.

"What was with the sticky note yesterday?" I questioned

"What sticky note?" She said with a sickening sweet voice.

"Ugh never mind." I gave up realizing I wasn't going to get anything out of her.

The other boys were looking at us in confused looks but seemed to shake it off as Evelyn started talking again.

"Hey Zach! Will you help me film a YouTube video? I'm trying out my singing career."

Was this girl trying to copy my life??

She literally cut her hair the same length as mine and put blonde highlights in it.

In one day.

"Um sure." He answered, giving me a quick kiss.

I came in to watch when she was halfway done and her singing was absolutely

Terrible.

She was singing focus by Ariana grande and her voice was all over the place and was cracking.

She finished and looked a Zach.

"Wasn't that great?!?"

Are you serious?????

"Oh! Uh sure!" He answered with a weak smile

"Caroline do you want to film one also since everything is set up?" Zach asked

"Sure. "I said confidently smiling at Evelyn.

I had my phone set up and I started singing Believer by Imagine Dragons.

First things first imma say all the words inside my head
Im fired up and tired of the way that things have been

Oh ooo
the way that things have been
oh ooo

Second things second  don't you tell me what you think that I could be
I'm the one at the sail I'm the master of my sea

Oh ooo
the master of my sea
oh ooo

I was broken from a young age
taken my soul into the masses
Writing my poems for the few that look at me, took at me, shook at me
feeling my heartache and the pain taking a message to the brain seeing the beauty through the

Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer,believer
Pain! You break me down, you build me up believer, believer
Pain! I let the bullets fly oh let them rain! My luck my love my god they came from
Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

I finished the song and Zach was cheering. I smiled devilishly at Evelyn while she glared at me.

We all went to watch a movie and I went to the bathroom.

When I got back, Evelyn was almost sitting on Zach and twirling her hair, shamelessly flirting with him.

I approached and she moved away from him and I sat in his lap.

"I don't like her flirting with you." I said softly

"It's fine. It's harmless. No girl will ever change how I feel about you." He said smoothing a hand up my back.

I decided not to think about it and when she left I went back to Zach's room to find another pink sticky note on my Shirt that said:

He was flirting back
