13; new boyfriend

❦ -zach's pov
"this is corbyn besson, my boyfriend."

AFTER daniel slams my door, i start to break down. i get to my knees on the floor and just sob and sob, instant regret for doing what i did to him. i should've just told the poor boy.

jack comes over, now in underwear, and picks me up, hugging me into his chest. i push him back, "i want to be alone." "i can help you. you shouldn't be alone right now-" "leave me the fuck alone jack!" i scream and he steps back.

he goes over and grabs his stuff, quickly putting them on. he walks out the door and i go over to my bed, crying into the pillows. i hate myself. i'm useless. i'm a fucking cheater.

it's monday. i grab my things and lazily get out of the bus, walking into school. i go into the bathroom and do my business. i hear the bell ring while i'm in there and quickly hurry up, grabbing my stuff.

i get to my first period, looking around the class. i see jack at his usual in front, then daniel isn't at the back, but sitting next to a blonde headed boy. he looks really familiar.

jack's already sitting next to some girl so i go and sit in the back next to some guy. i don't look up and keep my eyes on my fingers. "do you always sit here?" the boy asks and i look over.

"no. i have no where else to sit," i say and he nods. "so, what's your name?" he asks. "zach herron." "oh, right. i'm jonah marais," he says and i smile weakly. "nice to meet you," i say and he smiles. "you too."

"i'm sorry this is so sudden but could you possibly sit with me at lunch? i don't have anyone else right now," i choke out and he giggles. "of course. i sit alone everyday so that'd be nice," he says and i smile.

"thanks. i sit right underneath the tree outside," i say and he nods. "okay. i'll make sure to meet you there," he says and smiles.

it's lunchtime and i'm waiting for jonah under the tree. i see him coming over and i smile as he sits next to me, "hi." "hey," i say and we start to eat our food.

i look up and see jack standing there, arms crossed, "i need to talk to you alone." i sigh and get up, walking with jack to the bleachers. he suddenly hits me, causing me to furrow my eyebrows, "what the hell?"

"why did you push me back last night?" he asks and i sigh. "oh.. i was just really upset. i wanted to be alone," i say. "no excuse. i felt hurt," he pouts and i sigh.

"i'm sorry." "me too," he says and i lick my lips. "it's not your fault," i say and he gulps. "but it was. i just kept leading you on and if it wasn't for me-" "i wasn't going to end up with daniel anyways. both him and i knew it," i say and he sighs, rubbing his neck.

"well what now?" he asks and i shrug. "i don't know," i say and he looks up into my eyes. "do you have feelings for me?" he asks and i nod slowly. he sighs, "me too. but we should wait."

i nod, "yeah. i don't want to hop-" "hey zach," i hear and look over, seeing daniel's hand interlocked with that blonde kid. "hey. you're talking to me?" i ask and he laughs.

"you know i'm a pussy when it comes to these things. i miss you as my best friend," he says and a huge smile comes onto my face. "i miss you too," i say and get off the bleachers, engulfing him in a hug.

he hugs me back and i pull off, looking up at corbyn. "who's this?" i ask and daniel smiles. "this is corbyn besson, my boyfriend," he says and my smile fades. boyfriend? he's moved on already?
