Moment in Time

Chapter 4

Recap:

We arrived Zoe's and we said our goodbye's and thank you's to my mom. Stacy and I rushed in Zoe's house running and giggling. Zach was sitting right there on the couch watching a movie.

Trinity's POV:

Our night was planned out perfectly, we had plans/activities throughout the night. But right now its the afternoon and we were ready to set up. We got out all of the food we brought, and it put it on the table. As we set up we were waiting for everyone else to arrive, Stacy and I were very energized and we would not stop squealing. Zoey's mom brought home a big box of pizza so we all grabbed some and went to her backyard where her pool and stuff were.

We waited for everyone else to come and arrive, and as we do so, we plugged in my phone to the speakers any played our awesome lit playlist that I created just for this party. Zach was still inside and I of course was still waiting for him. When he came out he was eating this weird thing called brownie brittle. Zoey and Stacy kept taking pictures and I guess it was kind of annoying. They showed me each picture taken and I ended up having them sent to me.

At Night

Stacy, Zoey, and I gathered all the supplies for our s'mores and headed back outside. We all sat in a circle around a fire and we played Never Have I Ever, and I guess I learned a little more about Zach. While Stacy was roasting her marshmallow, she dropped her marshmallow on Zach's foot and they started talking. I mean, I guess I don't mind they're talking. They're just friends right? Nothing more, and it's not like he likes her???

Zoey then pulled me and Zach aside and took us to the bathroom with her. She told me to show Zach the video of Stacy singing, i guess everyone ships him and Stacy now, awesome. I of course went a long with the whole thing and just acted like I didn't mind. I honestly felt bad for showing him the video because Stacy did trust me with that video and now it's being showed to someone we barely know. I honestly think he's slowly developing feelings for me, but that's just me.

After the s'mores we all just hung out and then we all decided to go upstairs and go in Zoey's game room. Zach and Stacy were getting so close it internally hurts me. They were playing around with each other and flirting and it pains me to just watch them. I was turned the other way so no one noticed how I was crying. I went on my phone and tried to talk to the person I can trust and tell anyone to, and that was my internet friend from Canada named Rianna. Even though it was late at night around 9 or 10 maybe, she still answered even though she was tired and it was 1 or 2 in the morning there. I told her about everything that was happening with Stacy and Zach and sent her pictures. She helped me through it and i honestly felt so much better. What sucks is, no one even noticed I was crying and in need of comfort... They were all busy watching Zach and Stacy play air hockey while I sat in a bubble full of sadness.

I was sulking and I was still sad, but now Rianna went to sleep and I just sat there like a loner. As hours passed, people left and only 4-5 of us were left, including Zach. I left my comfort zone and just decided to do my own thing. I grabbed the glow sticks from the floor and tried to play ring toss or some shiz. I was using the pingpong table's net thing as a 'goal'. The meaning of the game was to get the glow sticks (shaped into rings) into the side of the nets. I was playing in peace and then Zach had to mess with my feelings and decided to come play with me. We didn't really talk, just played. Handed each other the glow sticks and switched every once in a while. Stacy ended up playing with us in the end.

Before it struck 11 and it was time for everyone to go, I decided to take a group selfie, aka an excuse to take a picture of Zach and post the picture on Instagram. The first picture it was just me and my three other friends, but the last one, Zach ended up on it and it was the cutest thing ever. After the picture was taken, I didn't even care how trashy I looked, and just paid attention to him, and just realize that I am actually falling for him, like really hard.

You would never actually know how happy that made me, especially that little ring toss thing that happened. He actually payed attention to me, which is something new. Zach spent so much of his time talking to everyone else, but me. Yes, I was a little hurt at first, but his presence kind of helped. Who knew, this one person, this one guy, this one action, changed my whole entire mood without even trying.

As soon as the clock struck 11, everyone had to leave, and so did Zach. I was disappointed at everything. I don't know why I didn't mention to Zoey for him to stay the night, they are family friends...

Throughout the night I was there, I felt miserable, doubts, unforgettable moments, and the fact I'll never be with him, or him feeling the same fills my head... It's not something I enjoy...

*the next morning*

I posted that picture on Instagram with the crappiest filter I could ever find and just leave it at that. One of my guy friends commented "Who's the guy in the back", of course no one knew who he was, we did just meet him, I'm not surprised. I then commented back "my fav". I then deleted my response, because it's not something I wanted to throw around for everyone to know. I know that questions would rise, and he would start getting involved.
