ZACK
I noticed that May had been avoiding me for the past few days. I didn't know or understand why. I was the hottest guy in school. Every girl wanted to have me and wasvall over me but May, May, May what was wrong with this girl? Was she blind or something?
I mean all this... I flexed in the mirror. This... I finger combed through my hair. This.... I smiled to myself which was a practised, experimented and proven move to win girls over. And this... I looked at mu reflection. My eyes must have been the most beautiful things I had ever seen in my entire life. What was I saying? My entire body is a masterpiece that was priceless. Worth more than the black rose or an extinct bird that would be discovered at any point in time. Even Leonardo D'vinci would give me his paint brush because I was a true work of Art that he was not worthy of completing. Intact, I would complete him. Why, then, was this girl acting so uninterested in me? I approached her the first time. She was supposed to beg and plead for me to speak to her. She was different, I thought to myself and I was going to get her even if it meant me going to the moon and back.MAY
I was successful in avoiding Zack until one day I felt a tap on my shoulder. As I turned, I saw Zack standing there and he asked me "have you been avoiding me, May? ". I knew that his question was more of a statement than a question so I just sat there still. He really did get to my heart and I did not know how to escape from this situation. All I felt were other girls' eyes on me. It was as if I was stealing everyone's light on a dark day and they sought to get it back. The only thing I was waiting for were words and possible blows for speaking to a senior who was the school soccer team captain and who happened to be the hottest guy in school as I was only a junior and more so new in that school. Could the ground open up and swallow me already? I could not stand this.
Zack noticed my uneasiness and that I was uncomfortable because we were in the centre of the cafeteria. He said that he really wanted to talk to me and that he would appreciate it if I spared some of my time to meet hom in a more comfortable place. Over powered by the pressure around of people staring, I knew that if I refused I'd rather he would create a scene so I accepted to meet him after class by the soccer pitch.
That day after class, I went to the soccer pitch and met Zack there. We sat on one of the supporter's benches and watched my classmates as they did their soccer try outs to join the school team.
I asked hom why he was not on the pitch with the others and he said that his vice had that day under control.ZACK
As we both watched the tryouts , May and I lightly brushed hands or atleast it felt like it.
May was so beautiful probably ost beautiful girl in school at that moment. I had to make her mine before anyone would take that spot.
So I said a few lines that I always used on each and every girl that sat in the same spot May was seated in. "May.. " I called as she looked at me, "from the time I first saw yoivwalk into this school, I haven't gotten you off my mind. I saw you, I crushed on you. Ispoke to you, I was infatuated by you. I could not get you off my mind, I like you. You are so beautiful May. You are so beautiful that I don't imagine myself with anyone else but you. I would like us to become an item. I would like us to be in a relationship. I really like you May". I said this knowing full well that no one had ever refused my proposal before. Infacy, the girls melted there and then and accepted but that was not the case with May. All she said was, " I'll have to think about it Zack" as she rose "I have to go now". I was left sittes there quietly. Never in my entire life had a girl made me wait on my proposal for a reply. She really was different.MAY
The meet up with Zack kept on replaying in my mind. This is the guy who everyone wanted, the one I wanted. He could have chosen anyone but he chose me. He asked me to be his girlfriend. Would he be the right first boyfriend... I thought to myself. I was attracted, he was attracted, why not?
The next few days went on normally. Zack and I talked normally and he did not pressurise me about the matter. He probably was giving me time to think about it. He always visited me not caring what anyone would think or say. That really made me turn my thoughts into a decision.
One day when he came to my study spot, I told him that I thought about what he said the other day and that I would consider it. His reaction could have shocked even a corpse because he literally jumped and shouted " Maylander Peters is mine! She is my girlfriend, you hear that? " he would say to an innocent passer by.
He then wrapped his arms around me and I wrapped mine around him. This hug was so amazing as I felt safe in my boyfriend's arms yes my boyfriend.
