PINK HEARTS [ JACK x ZACH ]

eight

the class had gone quiet. everyone had turned their heads to stare at jack and zach's frightful faces. zach looked around the room and watched the boys' faces turn into disgust, and felt his stomach drop.

jack looked up from his arm and saw everybody staring at him with confused faces, just like his. jack looked at the girl confusingly, "no we're not..."

the girl flipped her dark-brown curly hair and scoffed, "you guys are drawing to each other right now! look at zach's arm, it's identical to yours!"

jack's jaw dropped as he looked at zach's arm that indeed mirrored his own. he looked at zach's terror-filled face and felt like he was going to throw up.

"ew!" came from the class. zach's hands started to shake as he watched jack get teary-eyed.

it wasn't until the girl sat beside jack stood up and started speaking.

"who do you people think you are?" she yelled at the class while standing up, "you're really grossed out by love? actually? how pathetic! and you -- ovalette -- for outing them like that, is honestly a disgusting move." she scoffed at the class before sitting down in her chair angrily.

jack and zach stared at her like she was gold. her dark skin complemented her braided dark-brown hair perfectly, her brown eyes filled with determine as she spoke powerfully to the class.

jack wiped his eyes and quickly got up from his desk and walked out the room. to be embarrassed is an understatement. he hadn't fully took in the news, as it was thrown at him so fast and viciously.

zach watched jack leave the room and frowned to himself. he absolutely hated how jack had figured out, but had to blame himself for not being secretive about it.

the girl huffed loudly and smiled at zach, "i'm alyssa, by the way. you and jack are like, super cute, don't listen to what those irrelevant people are saying. they're not going to have as much as an iconic love story as you two. now, go find him."

she waved her hand over to the door and zach nodded his head, "thank you so much." before walking out the door, totally ignoring the lunch teacher who was staring holes into his head.

grade 7 had changed drastically, at the least.
