Heaven or hell? Where exactly am I going once my time on earth is over. I have been shut up in my room for the past hour now. Once me and Hack kissed it was like a animal had broke through, I have never experienced a kiss held with so much passion before. Yes, me and Leo have had passionate kisses but there was something about that kiss with Jack that made it completely different than the ones that I had shared with Leo. Which is the exact same reason why as soon as I felt myself losing control of my actions I pushed myself off of Jack and legged it up to my bedroom. But for some reason I feel like I have betrayed Leo. We're not together so I shouldn't, but I do. Which is why I am questioning if I am going to heaven or hell. Because let's face it Leo is like the perfect angel and Jack is the devil. So where am I going? Will it depend on who I choose to be with? Do I have to choose? Wait, do I actually have feelings for Jack? Yes, I wouldn't say they are definite feelings but there is definitely desire.. Although, one thing is for sure those feelings aren't as strong as the ones I have for Leo.

"Zoey, the whole musical cast has to meet at the school, it's important apparently" I hear Jack shout from the bottom of the stairs. What could possibly be so important on a Saturday?

So without answering him, I pry open my bedroom door and walk down the stairs towards my front door. Where the walk to school is a awkward one. The whole time we are walking I can feel Jack's intense stair on my back as if he is burning a hole straight through me.

"Right stop walking!" He commands before walking from behind me, so that he stands right in front of me and grips hold of my shoulders. Tightly.

"Why won't you talk to me?" He asks with a look of bewilderment in his eyes.

"I am talking to you" I say trying to avoid this conversation.

"No your not, after that kiss you ran up those stairs faster than a cheetah" he says sounding offended.

"That was my fault and I am sorry for that" I apologise, this time though I begin to walk away from him only to to be pulled back into a backwards embrace. Where his arms are wrapped around my waist whilst my back is pressed into his chest.

"Please, I'm begging you here Zoey. Why did you run? Did I do something to offend you?" He whispers in my ear, which by the way is my ticklish spot so as he talks softly into my ear. I find it incredibly hard not to giggle.

"You didn't do anything wrong Jack. I promise" I say, making sure to lean my head back so that I can look him in the eye. But as I lean back Jack sneakily places his lips on my mouth making me melt all over again. What is it with this boy and his kisses. It's as if they're an addictive drug. In fact it's so addictive I find myself turning myself around and wrapping my arms around his neck. Whilst he pulls me further in towards his body until there is no possible space between us.

"Shall we go to school?" Jack breathlessly asks as he pulls away from our kiss and rests his forehead against mine.

"As long as we don't do that again anytime soon" i say in an attempt of what hopefully sounds like a stern voice. But no doubt he won't take me seriously; obviously he doesn't because as I turn around and begin walking I hear him mumble "not if I have it my way" which I must admit make a smirk form on my face. Good. I think because despite what I just said, I certainly want another kiss from those lips.

"Right everyone gather round we need to discuss the dance numbers, solos and duets" Ms Coles announces as she makes everyone sit directly in front of her. However, two people are missing from this meeting. Becky and Leo.

"Right first of all I am sorry that you had to come in today, but I promise it's only for a short while. It's just that I forgot to mention some stuff to you" she explains, but hardly anyone complains. To be honest hardly anyone ever complains to Ms Coles. I personally think its because she's one of the few teachers in this school who you can actually have a decent conversation with. I should know considering she is the only teacher who fully accepts both mine and Becky's weird childish jokes.

"Yeah but shouldn't we wait for Becky and Leo?" I suggest, however as I say that I notice her face turn a pale green colour.

"No,I'm sure they will join us as soon as they can" she says with what looks like a horror.

"Anyway, we will start with dance musicals. Jack and Leo you will have a song called "The boys are back" where you will have your own back up crew that will consist of Adam, Blake as well as Mike" she states earning a few cheers from the three boys names who she read out.

"Zoey you will have two solos as well as sing in two duets" She instructs me with a genuine smile.

"Okay and what will the songs be and who will I be singing with?" I ask, so that when I get home I can hit the piano or guitar straight away.

"Your solos will be "let it go" the Demo Lovato version as well as "if I die young" the same song you were singing the other day. And as for your duets you will be singing one with Leo and that will be "need you now" by Lady Antebellum are you familiar with that song?" She asks, to which I nod my head. My mother use to listen to that song all the time when she was at home. Which now a days is hardly ever. "You will also be doing a duet with Jack to "are you ready for love" by Lawson, which by the way will also be starring Leo, Adam and Blake as back up singers. Although in that song you will mainly be dancing rather than singing as it has no female vocals involved" She explains which as a result I nod my head to show I understand.

"Also Becky will also be singing a duet with you to "when you believe" which is song that was sung by Mariah Carey and Whitney Housten and then that will be all the singing involved" Ms Coles finishes, earning cheers and claps all around to those who got a main part in the dancing or singing.

However, Becky and Leo still haven't turned up to this meeting making me question their whereabouts.

"Why don't you ring them?" Jack suggests in order to calm my nerves.

"Alright, but I left my phone at mine. Could I borrow yours?" I ask to which he nods before handing me his iPhone. Where I quickly dial Becky's mobile number, yep I know it off by heart. You never know when you may need it, besides she's my emergency contact number at school instead of my parents. However, as soon as I press dial a ringtone of "don't you wish you girlfriend was got like me" begins blaring out in the drama studio. Becky's ringtone. Did she leave her phone here? Maybe I should try Leo's. So I hang up the phone to what was dialling Becky's number and dial Leo's. However, his ringtone begins blaring out as well. Surely they didn't both leave their phones.

"Um, Zoey isn't it?" A boy named Adam asks me.

"Yeah why?" I ask feeling a bit irritated about the fact that both Leo and Becky haven't turned up and that they have left there phones!

"If your looking for Becky I saw her go into the music practice room about half hour ago" he explains.

"Great, thanks!" I say cheerfully as I stand up and begin to walk out of the drama studio towards the music practice room.

"Oi, wait up I will come with you" I hear Jack shout from behind me.

"Have you not had enough of my presence yet?" I cheekily asks as I allow him to catch up with me whilst scanning the door windows to see if I can see Becky in any of them.

"What a silly question to ask" he answers as he sneakily slaps my behind earning a small yelp from me.

"Why you little-" I begin to say but before I can finish my sentence Jack places his ham over my mouth whilst signalling me to shut up. However, just as I am about to slap him for man-handling me I see it. Becky and Leo both coming out of a music room both looking very scruffy.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" I screech as I remove Jack's hand, making both Leo and Becky turn around in shock. However, as they turn around it is clear what they have been up to as Leo's shirt is half way open and Becky's hair is everywhere not to mention her top is inside out.

"Zoey, I-" Becky begins to explain but I cut her off.

"Save your breath! You were meant to be my best mate not go behind my back and sleep with the one person who I actually thought I loved!" I say trying my very best to hold back my tears, yet before either of them can make an excuse for their appearance. Jack takes me hand in his and begins to lead me out of the corridor towards the school exit so that we can be anywhere but there. And to think by kissing Jack I felt like I was betraying Leo. But obviously he doesn't feel the same way. Making my decision even more easier. Heaven or Hell? I am defiantly going to hell, especially with what I have in mind.
