"hey eben." i say, sitting down behind him.

"hi, it's saige right. zachs girlfriend?" he asks.

"uh yeah. but i'm not his girlfriend. we're just friends." i shrug.

"not for long." he mutters. and i shake my head.

"what'd you say?" i ask. he shakes his head, and him and i continue talking.

we're right on the side of the stage, so if i turn and look, i can see the guys practicing. eben talks about preforming, and how much he loves it, but how nervous he is before shows. and how the guys are so amazing to him. i loosely listened to him. i had my body facing him, but my head was turned toward the stage. and my eyes were locked on zach. i watched him for a long time, and i tried to stop but i couldn't take my eyes off him. he looked so happy on stage, even if he was just rehearsing. he had a genuine smile on his face, and him and the guys were cracking jokes and joking around up there.

"you like him, don't you?" eben said, making me jump.

"what? zach, no." i shrugged. obviously lying, is known eben for like 45 minuets and i wasn't going to tell him about my love life.

"well, i obviously know you like him. you've been watching him for like 20 minuets straight with that cheesy grin on your face. and just to let you know, he likes you too." eben said.

"no he doesn't. he just wants to be friends." i said.

"okay, you obviously aren't with him 99% of the time. you're literally the only thing he talks about. 'saige this', 'saige that', 'saige looked so cute on facetime today', 'have you guys seen saiges recent on instagram she's so hot'. he's literally head over heals for you." eben said. he then got up, and i sat there shocked.

"okay guys, we're gonna have the first part of lime light in. so be ready." their manager, tyler said. the boys nodded. and all parted ways real quick.

"what'd you think?" he asked, coming over to me.

"it was so good. you look so cute up there." i said.

"i know." he said, pretending to flip his hair. i giggled.

"never do that again. that was so cringey." i said.

"too bad for you because i'm going to keep doing it," he said dramatically, "just because you said that." i rolled my eyes at him.

"i actually hate you." i say.

"no you don't. you love me." he said, pulling out the 'e' in me.

"yeah if it was opposite day." i shrugged.

"noooo." he said, walking towards me.

"if you hate me,you won't let me hug you." he said, i did love hugging zach, he was the perfect person for me to hug. but i shrugged. zach kept getting closer and closer to me, until he was an inch in front of me. i was giggling a lot, and he had a smug smirk on his face. he then proceeded to wrap his arms around my waist, and pulled me closer to him.

"got off of me. you're too sweaty." i shrieked. pushing my hands against his chest.

"no. not until you confess your love for me." he said.

"zach." i groaned, still pushing against his chest.

"saige,just be like 'zach is the hottest most amazing guy i know, and i love him like a lot.'" he said.

"but what if it's not the truth." i said,i had given up on trying to get zach off me, so i just stood there, wrapped up in zachs arms.

"well if it's not true, i think you're mentally ill." he shrugged. i giggled.

"zach," i whined, hoping he'd let go of me, "please let me go. you have to go meet all your fans and they'd be so mad if you weren't there."

"they won't mind if i'm with you." he said.

"okay boys! the fans will be in in one minuet! the first ones are going through security and being welcomed in right now." their manager called.

"oh dang, looks like you'll have to go." i shrugged.

"okay. but i have one thing for you," he said, his eyes flickering to my lips, "if you hate me, you won't let me do this." zach began leaning in, his eyes closed.

i freaked out for a second. i liked zach, i knew i did. but did i want to kiss him

yes

i shrugged, and closed my eyes. pushing myself up on to my top-toes, and i closed the distance between us.

this may be the most cliche thing that i have ever said, but i swear, when our lips touched, fire works erupted around us. the butterflies that were in my stomach, must have multiplied by about 600 billion, and along with the thousands of butterflies in my stomach, it decided now would be a great time to practice its gymnastics routine.

"come on zach!" jack yelled. unfortunately, zach pulled away. a large smile on his face as he looked at me.

"i'm glad you don't hate me." he said.

"i'm glad i don't hate you either." i said. zach stepped away, but before he did, i stole another quick kiss from him.

"have fun, zachy." i said, with a smile.
