Real Feelings

Chapter 3

My next class was math with Michel. We got the seat in the middle of the class but in the back. Michel turn to talk to other people while I look around the class. Then I saw Brian entering the class and searching, for someone maybe. He then saw me and had a big smile on his face as he came to sit beside me. "Why are you so happy Brian?" I ask him. "I was scared that I didn't have any friends in math but it seem I found one!" He explain, as he send some glances in Michel's direction. 

"What kind of music do you listen to?" Brian ask me ready to start a never ending discussion. "My favorite band is obviously Metallica, I like AC/DC, Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden and all those bands in that style" I told him all happy to be a metalhead girl. His eyes were wide looking at me like I was an unknown creature. "Shit! You totally fit with the rest of us" He said. I approach to him, "Michel like that kind of music too" I whisper to Brian, because I could see that he had an eye on her. He tense up in his chair and turn around to face the board, "I don't know what you'r talking about." He said looking at everywhere except me and Michel. I giggled a bit and the class started. 

LUNCH TIME

ZACKY'S P.O.V

The guys and I had kept a table at the cafeteria for all of us and the girls. I can't wait to see Mary again. Even if she was surely out of my league, I wanted to know her. Maybe we could be best friend at least. 

Then I saw her, walking down the hallway with Val, Michel, Lacey and Leana. Mary was standing out of the group to me. Her medium length brown hair and her bangs that surrounded her cute face perfectly. And she had a perfect body, not to thin with great curves. Shit don't get me started on that! And I don't even know all of her personality! 

"Calm down Zacky, I've talked with Mary in math and she is really cool. It's not because one girl hurt you in the past that they all do it." Brian whisper to me as he saw that I was nervous. I nodded. I have to do a great impression. The girls finally arrived to us, Mary came straight at me. "Hi! Mary!" I told her waving at her. Fuck why did I have to wave at her when she is in my face? Now she must that I'm immature or something. "Hi Zacky!" She said waving back at me softly giggling. Her laugh is the cutest thing I've ever heard.  We all sat down, Mary was at my right, at my left was Brian and Michel. In front there was Lacey and Johnny. Jimmy and Leana and then the ones who were already a couple, Val and Matt. We all ate with little talks and then I had to find a way to talk to Mary. Shit but what? I've never been good at talking and those stuff. I'm usually a kind of shy guy at first. But I needed change.

"Why did you decided to come live here in Huntington Beach?" I ask Mary, I taught to myself that it was a good question. 'Good Zacky! Keep going' I told myself keeping a nice smile on my face without being creepy.  "My parents got new job opportunity in all the United-States, so they let me choose the state that I wanted to live and I decided California because Metallica came from here. And I choose Huntington Beach because I saw picture of the beach and it seem so beautiful." She admit. "That's cool" I told her. Shit Zack! You don't have anything else more original to say?! "I know, you probably think it's stupid to relate this with a band, but  I didn't know.. You know" She said getting shy. "no, no! I think it's one of the best reason ever!" I told her trying to reassure her. "You know what? Would you like to go to the beach with me tomorrow? It'll be Friday, so it's perfect!" I ask her, ready that she will refuse my offer.

MARY'S P.O.V

I couldn't believe that Zacky was asking me this. He is so cute and he seem so sweet. But I know that what people show is not really what they are. 

"Yeah, but I'm not swimming or putting any swim suit!" I told him with a smile. I didn't want to seem like a girl that show half of her body the first time you hang out you know. "It's okay, me neither!" Zacky said putting his hand up like he was innocent. I wanted to believe that Zacky was really sweet and funny. But my memory was screaming that this was all a lie. "What are your parents job?" Zacky ask me, he seem really interested about me. "They are in money business or some shit like that." I told him shortly. I didn't want him to know about all my sad and shitty situation. Zacky changed the subject to music which I was happy of. We talk all the rest of lunch time, Zacky was making me laugh, but the bell rang announcing the afternoon classes. I was about to go but I turn to Zacky, "Humm, I think you will need my phone number if you,, you kn-" I ask him but got cut of by Zacky, "Shit yeah I totally forgot! Yeah okay let's do it again okay?" He ask me with a smile. I giggled but played the game so I nodded. "Mary, can I have your phone number please?" He ask all gentle man as he handed me his phone. "Sure Zacky" I told him still giggling at his actions I took his phone and enter my number in. "Don't forget for tomorrow, we can walk to your place and then go to the beach if you want" Zacky ask me shyly taking his phone back and putting his hands shyly in his black jeans pocket. "It's a deal Baker!" I told him as we walk in the hallway to go to our classes, they were not far from each other so Zacky guide me in front of the class and Val enter without me leaving us alone. "Is it okay if I call you Baker?" I ask him nervous. I didn't want him to get mad. "When people call me by my last name it's usually not in a good mood and I'll make an exception for you" He said with a nice grind on his face. And then the final bell cut us as Zacky ran to his class in front of mine and I ran to my place next to Val. 

I was so happy that I maybe met someone that is compatible with me. But all the bad memories wouldn't stop haunting me during my day dream.
