"Tag" you turn and roll your eyes. "That's it" you run and chase him. You jump on him and end up both falling. "No fair" you both laugh and smile at him. "I declare a rematch" you raise an eyebrow. "In tag??" he smiles. "Yup" you giggle. "You never seem to surprise me Zachary" he sighs. "I don't like being called that" you laugh and help him up. "Ok Herron" he rolls his eyes playfully. "Time for bed" Zach's mom calls and you both run inside. "Coming!!" you both run in and get ready. You were laying in your fort in the living room. "Zach...when we get older, will you ever forget me??" you ask and he hugs you. "Never. You will always be my best friend" you smile and he kisses your forehead. Zach was your first best friend and first love. You were neighbours when you moved here in 3rd grade. You were inseparable until grade 8. Zach became the captain of the soccer team. He started hanging out with the popular crowd more and you laid back. You soon drifted apart and now here you are. 11th grade. You were the shy, nerd and Zach the popular, jock. You both lived two separate lives. You look out your window and see Zach on his computer. You can tell he's focused by the way his brows furrow. You smile because you think it's adorable. "Y/n!!" you shake it off and head downstairs. School was in 30 mins and you were dreading it. Nothing exciting happens, and you just want it to be over. "5 more weeks" your mom kisses your head and you smile. "Yup. 5 more weeks of hell...then i'm a senior" you say and she rolls her eyes. "Yup definitely my daughter" you both laugh and head to school. You laid low and focused on your grades. Zach was in your English class but he was too busy with his friends all the time. You hated that you and Zach didn't talk anymore...but social status can mess with you.

You were walking down the hall and bumped into someone. "oops" you grab your textbook. "Sorry" you look to see Luke. He looks you up and down. "You are the nerd in my Science class" you nod and bite the inside of your cheek. "It's Y/n right??" you nod and smile. Luke was the nice one out of the popular group. "Well I should get going...see you around" he waves and disappears in the crowd. You head to your locker and grab all your stuff. You had a spear for the last block, so you normally just head home. You look over and make eye contact with Zach. You smile and look down to try and hide the fact you are blushing. You close your locker and head home.

~Zach's POV~

Luke comes and sits with us. "Why are you so smiley??" Michael asks. "Oh umm...no reason" we all look at him suspiciously. "Let's play truth or dare" Michael suggests and we all agree. A few rounds in it's my turn. "Truth or Dare Zach" Brandon asks. "Dare" I'm always up for a challenge. Brandon smirks and I kind of regret my decision. Michael whispers in his ear and they both look behind me. "I dare you to make Y/n fall in love with you" I perc up when I hear Y/n's name. I look behind me and see her closing her locker. We make eye contact and she slightly smiles before leaving. "W-what??" I stutter and they give me a questionable look. "I mean if you aren't up for it-" I interrupt. "N-no I'll do it..but why Y/n??" Brandon laughs. "It's not like you know her or anything??" I fake laugh. "Yeah..not at all" Luke gives me a worried look. "Once she falls for you you have to drop her like a sack of potatoes" I gulp and nod. I'm going to break this poor girl's heart. And to make it worst..she was my first crush.

~End Of Zach's POV~

Once you get back home you look out to see Reese on her bike. You set all your stuff in your room and grab a snack. "Ouch!!" you hear crying and run outside to see Reese on the sidewalk. "Reese you okay" You sit down beside her. "N-no I-I fe-ll" you hold her and set her on your lap. "It's okay..shh" you rock her and she soon calms down. "Are your parents home??" she nods and you pick her up. "Let's get your taken care of" she holds onto you tight and you bring her in your house. You bandage her up and kiss her knee. "Thanks Y/n" she hugs you. "No problem Reese. Now let's get you back home" she nods and you take her back. "Reese!! Omg!!" Zach's mom hugs her tight. "I thought you were gone" she smiles and hugs me. "Thank you so much Y/n" you hug her back. "It's fine Myta. She just fell and I fixed her up" you smile. "Can Y/n stay for a little bit??" you hesitate. "Only if she wants too" she gives you a concerned look. "Please Y/n" Reese gives you puppy dog eyes. "How can I say no to that face??" she takes you outside to the back. "I can do a front hand spring. Want to see!!" she goes on the trampoline. "I would love too" She does a perfect front hand spring and you stand there in shock. "Wow. That was amazing!!" she blushes. "Thank you..can you do any tricks??" you hop up and look at her. "What do you want to see??" she thinks and smiles. "What about a flip??" you nod and do a front and a backflip. She stands there in Awe. "Wow...I want to be as good as you" you laugh and see a head hide behind the curtains. "I should get going" Reese give a sad face and you both head back inside. "I like hanging out with you Y/n" you look and see Zach coming down the stairs. "I miss when you and Zachy would hang out all the time" you make eye contact with him and he looks you up and down. "Well..I umm..have to go" Reese hugs you. "We will play again soon. I promise" you hug her tight and head out. You were almost at your house when-"Y/n!!" you look behind you and see Zach running up to you.
