( I DONT EVEN WANT TO HEAR IT )
by unhelpful-y0da

Zach had been ignoring you for weeks now and you were done with it, if he didn't want to be with you anymore he just needed to grow some balls and tell you. You were completely done dealing with all these rumours and drama. You loved Zach you really did but you weren't the one to sit around and be played. You were walking down the hall when you found Zach's friend but he wasn't with them. You knew Zach's friends pretty good so you weren't shy around them anymore.

"Okay Foley spill the beans where is he?" They were all looking at you with wide eyes, like the ticking bomb had finally exploded. Justin didn't say anything and just pointed in some direction. When you looked you saw Zach flirting with some girl, she was laughing with his jokes and playing with her hair. Of course he was you thought before you rolled with your eyes and started to walk. You were acting all though but inside you were heart broken. Zach always had been so sweet and caring you just didn't understand why he acted like that. Was this all your fault, were you too 'boring'?

"Okay Dempsey enough. What's going on?" Zach seemed pretty shocked by your sudden approach. He knew that when you used his last name he was in trouble. But something in him had changed, his shocked face soon changed in being too cocky again.

"What do you mean?" he said shrugging, lifting his shoulders and making an annoyed face towards his friends like he had to prove something towards them.

"You know exactly what I mean Dempsey. You've been ignoring me for weeks, not bothering to talk to me at all. What is it? You found a new, more exciting toy to play with? You thought I would just let it go like that and forget about us? I don't understand what happened?" you said while people were starting to stare at you.

"Come on babe let's not do this now."

"No don't babe me, this is getting too much. Tell me now where are we at, you've been playing games for long enough." For a second you saw some sadness in his eyes and you felt hope but it wasn't long before he straightened his back and rolled his eyes at you.

"I guess we're done then."

"Fine." You said before turning your back and walking away. That night you cried, you cried pretty bad but you decided to let it all out for one night and then get yourself back together. If someone treated you like that they weren't worth it. You decided you weren't going to show how much he hurted you, not that he would bother but it was the easiest for you. Weeks went by and you haven't talked to Zach since. He called you a couple times. Most of the times at 2 AM, every time your phone rang you wanted to pick up so badly and probably get him home since he had to be drunk but you didn't because even tho he was out of your life he kept hurting you. Every time you walked passed Zach's locker, which was like every fucking single day, he was flirting with some girl. They changed from time to time. Kate from English, Elisabeth from junior year and Sydney from the volleyball team they all passed by. They knew Zach was a catch and they were right. Zach always had been a good person, a honest and kind one. You didn't understand what had happened that he became like this? He kept being nice to everyone except from you. It seemed like you brought out the worst in him. When you entered biology and woke from your daydream you saw that Zach was already in the class room. His eyes fell immediately on you but you looked away and searched for a free spot. You had been avoiding Zach since the two of you broke up. As much as you wanted to talk to him you weren't going to let him hurt you twice so avoiding seemed like the most solid plan. You saw a free spot next to Jeff Atkins. He always seemed nice and friendly so you went with it.

"Is this spot taken?" you asked.

"No I just put my bag on it so I could take my books out more easily, so here please sit down." He said. Jeff seemed a little nervous making you blush a little. You felt Zach's gaze burn but you ignored it just like he did with you. Again more weeks went by and you and Jeff started to get along better and better. Instead of basketball you now started to watch baseball games. You didn't have to study alone anymore and Jeff always listened to you when you needed him, you went to school together went home together, you basically did everything together. The two of you were starting to become best friends even tho the whole school thought you were dating. In the beginning the two of you went on a couple dates together but Jeff soon confessed that he was having a crush on someone else and was trying to get her attention, you could have been mad at him for sort of using you but you had to admit you were kind of doing the same. You missed Zach, a lot, and dating someone else only made you miss him more. But of course Liberty High wouldn't be liberty high if they didn't start rumours about Jeff and you. You heard the most funny things about dates you didn't even went on together to descriptions of your sex life that didn't even exist at that time. The two of you thought the rumours were pretty funny so you sometimes just made them a little worse giving Jeff a kiss on the cheek or both flirting to make fun of the people around you. you had to admit it was pretty hilarious.
