''Grab my hand!''

Channing Tatum extended his arm towards me. I grabbed on to him and he pulled me up.

''Oh Channing!'' He leaned in and-

''Leah! Hey! Get off me. Ow ow my arms!!''

Reality slapped me in the face and I opened my eyes to find myself physically assaulting Pink Pants.

He smirked.

''I'm sorry Pink pants'' I blurted out.

NO! I take that back. I didn't just call him Pink Pants.

He frowned. ''Pink pants?''

''I'm so sorry you were bending down and I accidentally looked and -''

''Leah?''

''Yeh''

''Shut up'' He said. ''My names Zach, OK?''

I nodded. He spoke to me like I was a 3 year old.

''Zach'' He stood up.

''Now that’s accomplished, how bout we get some breakfast.''

Reality punched me,kicked me in the face and flushed my body down the toilet.

It only dawned on my stupid brain that I slept in Zach's room. On Zach's bed.

Zach glared at me with concern.

''Anything wrong?''

I shook my head. ''No no no everything’s fine. Picture perfect see?'' I smiled fully at him. ''It's all fine''. Hell, my Mum was probably orbiting through space in search of her lost one.

Zach looked at me and gave me a lopsided smile.

''Your are so weird''. He said.

''I'm a woman of many talents'' I exclaimed.

He nodded at me.

''Your mentally deranged, sweetie.'' And he disappeared downstairs.

I was soo offended. I was perfectly fine, normal WHATEVER! I huffed and followed him down to break fast.

The air was filled with the heavenly aroma of bacon and eggs. I walked into the kitchen and discovered Conor in an apron flipping eggs.

I stifled a laugh.

Why-why did he look like my grandma.

''Nice apron, Fairfield.''

He turned to me and scowled.

''Whatever''

I sat opposite Zach as Conor laid our breakfast on the table.

I felt ridiculously comfortable, like I was at home.

Zach immediately dived in while I took careful bites into my bacon. Conor chuckled at his step-brother.

Geee I swear they were ready to be convicted of murder yesterday and now they were all Bonnie and Clyde together forever.

''You eat like your foods gonna run away from you.''

Zach shrugged.

''I'm going to school'' I said, standing up.

Of course after I had completed the deliciousness that was offered to me.

I sprinted out of the door, away from the Fairfield residency.

''You were dreaming, Le'' Teya said rolling her eyes.

''NO I wasn't I had a dream about Channing Tatum!''

''I thought it was the vampire winnie the pooh, one''

''Nooo!!'' I tugged at my hair in frustration.

''There's no need to shout, Leah!''

''I'm not shouting!''

''For god's sake get lost and tell someone else about your stupid fairy tales!'' She yelled, automatically attracting an audience.

Anything amplified above 0 attracted an audience like a nail to a magnet.

''What?''

''How about this? Leah smith loves Conor Fairfield!!! You happy? Get the hell lost, then!'' She shouted and turned on her heels and walked away.

MY eyes were heavy and I needed to resist the urge to cry.

Firstly, that was some serious bipolar shit. I can't believe she didn't tell me she'd been diagnosed.
Secondly, did the whole school just hear, first hand from my best friend that I liked Conor?

I couldn't believe Teya!

I spotted Conor in the crowd and he made his way towards me but I didn't wait. I turned and walked away.

He grabbed on to me, fiercely.

''Don't you turn your back on me'' He said, searching my eyes for some sort of emotion that wasn't there.

''Leave me alone'' I snapped removing my arm from his grasp.

''I'm sorry.''

''It doesn’t matter and I don't care! Just go away!'' I turned to walk away.

''I'll make it up to you. Let's hang out.'' He said, I couldn’t even say he asked.

He was so demanding.

''No. I'm going to the dinner with Danny.'' I replied.

He suddenly seemed tensed.

''You prefer him over me?'' I shrugged.

''He doesn't stamp on the remains of my self-esteem.''

''Okay, what of if I said I kinda like you'' He asked.

''I'd laugh and tell you you're funny and you probably have a vitamin d deficiency or something .'' I sated blankly.

''I kinda like you'' He said.

I laughed. ''Very funny.'' I said, and turned and walked away,
