( AN EASY QUESTION )
by unhelpful-y0da

The school bell rang, meaning it was finally time for lunch. You were absolutely starving. When you woke up in the morning and looked at the time you saw you overslept. You had an important test first period so you had to hurry pretty bad. You picked the first item you found in your closet, threw your hair in a messy bun, picked up your backpack and of you were. You didn't even have time to eat. On your way to school you soon realised you picked one of the most body hugging dresses you have, making you feel a little uncomfortable but you didn't have time to change anymore. You were more the type to always wear a good fitting jeans and a nice top. Those dresses were mainly for exclusive situations. Walking- more like running- to school you watched yourself in almost every reflection you found seeing if you didn't look too bad in the dress you chose. But now it was finally lunch time, finally a chance to fill your stomach with food. You walked in full speed to the cafeteria, when you entered you immediately found your friends table, but today there was something different than other times. When you entered all their faces immediately turned towards you and they all went silent. Were your friends really talking about you behind your back? And on top of all that even the boy you've had this little fling with since a couple weeks, Zach, was staring awkwardly at the ground trying to avoid eye contact. Slowly they started to talk again about random subjects but you weren't buying the act. You walked straight towards their table.

"Have you ever walked up to people and realised they were talking about you?"you said with anger in your voice. You saw the nervousness appear in everyone's eyes proving they were talking about you. 

"y/n we weren't?" Justin said trying to save the situation. The rest nodding with him.

"Don't even bother Justin, I've got the message it's fine." You said before walking away with your shoulders hanging low to the ground. You walked out the cafeteria, still feeling hungry as hell but you didn't care about that anymore. All your friends were talking about you behind your back and when you confronted them they couldn't even admit. You couldn't help but feel hurt. It probably was because of the stupid dress, you knew your body wasn't good enough. You were done for the day and went straight home. You were focused on your homework for a couple hours now when you heard your mom shout from down the stairs.

"Y/N sweetheart! There's someone here for you!"

You sighed and got of your bed, who could possibly be downstairs for you but when you walked out your room you  heard a very familiar voice talking, it was Zach. You walked halfway down the stairs, staring at the two of them. You had to admit Zach was looking better than normally. He was wearing a nice button down emphasizing his brought shoulders, nice black pants and his hair nicely done and was he holding flowers? You couldn't help but feel a little flattered. Suddenly Zach and your mom noticed you.

"Sweety this is Zach, he's here for you." You rolled your eyes at her attempt to be extra kind.

"I know who he is mom. Is it okay if he comes upstairs?" you asked you mom, hoping for some privacy.

"No problem." She said with a smile. Zach looked a last time at your mom.

"It was nice meeting you miss y/l/n." he smiled before following you upstairs. You both entered your room. Zach closed the door behind him.

"These are for you." He said with a smile handing the flowers over to you.

"Where are those for? Apologizing because you talked behind my back? Cause flowers won't make up for that." You said with a straight face.

"I came here to explain what happened. It really wasn't their fault, it was mine."

"I'm listening."

"I've told them all something but I also asked them to keep it a secret from you. Right when we were talking about it you entered the cafeteria and we all didn't know how to behave. I know Justin's attempt to save it was pretty bad but I really don't want you to be mad at them. They all love you with their whole heart, they would never talk behind your back."  You were getting more and more confused but also felt calmer. Your friends didn't go behind your back but why did Zach wanted them to keep secrets from you? Why would even do that, there was no reason for that you were pretty accepting.

"Aand are you going to tell me what that big secret was?" Zach suddenly looked a million times more nervous than before.

"I- I wanted to ask you if you want to be my girlfriend. I know this isn't as special as I was planning but I felt like I had to do it as soon as possible otherwise you would stay mad at them and that's the last thing I want." You walked up towards Zach with a big smile.

"Was all this drama for an easy question?"

"Easy? Do you have any idea how fast my heart is going and how hard I'm sweating under this shirt I wore especially for you."  You couldn't help but giggle at his reaction.

"S-So what do you say?"

"Of course I want to be your girlfriend Zach, you make me the happiest person in the world, but no secrets anymore!"

"And you just made me the happiest person in the world." Zach said before pulling you in for a deep kiss feeling each others hearts bumping against each others chests.
