your little secret 👫🤞 (zach herron)

chapter 2 - whos that calling?

*your pov*

It's 1pm now lunch is almost over and we are starting to head back to classes. I have math now as I'm doing my A levels. None of my friends do math except me. I love math. I never understand how people struggle with it. Anyways class started as the bell rang telling us lunch was over. We all took our seats and got out our textbooks. Mr riley started to speak...

MrR: okay class turn to page 234 in your text book, in your exercise books write the date and time and don't forget DUMTUMS (date, underline, miss a line, title, underline, miss a line, start) honestly I don't understand why he keeps telling us that when we have been doing that since year 7.

Today we were learning probably my worst topic which was statistics but I was still alright at it. At least that's what I thought.

MrR: standard deviation is
a quantity expressing by how much the members of a grou-

My phone started to vibrate and then came the ring tone which was the chorus from trust fund baby. I was soo confused as am sure i turned it on silent. I must have leaned on it, pressing the volume button. I grabbed my phone out to see who it was...

MrR: KARA!! GIVE ME YOUR PHONE NOW!

wow what as asshole. Before he angrily snatched it out of my hand, Clearly annoyed that it interupted his lesson, and threw it into his draw and locked it , I read that I had 7 missed calls and 34 unread messages from zach.

MrR: you can get it back at the end of the day

I was worried about zach. Why was he calling? Was he in trouble? My mind made up many assumptions. I felt sick to my stomach. Could he be hurt? Or in danger? I couldn't shake the feeling or concentrate on my work. My mind was only on zach.

Class was almost over. I knew I had 3 more classes left and I just needed to know what's the matter with zach. I walk up to Mr rileys desk...

Kara: sir may I please have my phone back. I'm positive I put it on silent. What if it was urgent? Please sir I'm begging you.

MrR: no Kara you keep doing this. It's not ur first time and I'm not convinced that it will be ur last. Your already behind in statistics, if it wasn't because your a genius in every other topic, you would have had to be dropped out of A level maths and find a new major to study.

Kara: I know. I'm sorry. I'm trying my best. Can I please just get my phone back?

MrR: no Kara. You can collect it at the end of the day and over the next few months I want to see u improving or your out of my class.

I didn't say anything else I just walked away upset. Not knowing if zach was okay was getting to me. Tears started filling in my eyes. As I headed for the toilet I saw bliss. I started to rush there, hoping she wouldn't see me upset and follow me in as she doesn't know that I've been texting zach. I stood and looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes were red and puffy. I splash water on my face and quickly try to head out to my next class when bliss walks in. Ugh how am I gonna explain this one...

bliss: kara what's happened are u okay?

Kara: Yeah bliss I am. I'm just frustrated about maths. I'm failing statistics.

I lied and faked pouted. But I couldn't tell her the truth. She would kill me.

Bliss: I don't even know how u fucking understand that shit anyway. It's literally our of this world.

I fake laugh kinda awkwardly trying to hide my real feelings. I cut the conversation short as I just wanted the day to be over.

Kara: ahahaha we better start heading to history.

We headed there together as we both studied this class. I still couldn't shake the thought of Zach. I was soo distracted and it was very obvious by everyone that I was. Everyone kept asking me if I was okay. Most the time I couldn't hear them as I was zoned out just staring at thin air waiting for the minutes to pass and my last class to come so then I could get my phone and see what's up with Zach.

*skip to the end of the day*

Omfg the relief that came over me as I heard the final bell that dismissed the class. I sprinted across the collage to Mr rileys classroom. Where I found him marking exams. I knock quietly on the door and he waves me to come in. As I walk in he had already grabbed his key to unlock his draw and get my phone out. He definitely knew I was there my phone and not for help on my statistics. So I thought i would surprise him...

MrR: here for u phone Kara?

He had my phone and extended his arm out to give it to me. I tried acting like I forgot...

Kara: omg I almost forgot about that. I actually came for some extra work to help me with my statistics.

MrR: oh well excuse me. I didn't mean to be soo rude. But yes I do i have loads that could help you.

He handed me a mountain of papers to help me. I didn't say anything more. I nodded and rushed out. My heart was pounding out of my chest. I turn on my phone 47 missed calls and 149 unread messages. I unlock my phone and go onto my messages I open up our chat. Repeated 149 times was the phrase...

47 missed calls and 149 unread messages

Zach🤞❤: GUESS WHAT!!!

I was soo confused what was it that he was gonna tell me? ....
