The school bell went off signaling that lunch was over and it was time for everyone to get to class. For Zach Herron, this was a blessing sent from the gods above. The bullies who were currently harassing Zach had to grab their stuff and leave; they probably would have stayed longer, but Ms. Wilson is not a lady who you make wait.
Luckily for Zach, the bell also brought along the end of the school day for him seeing as he had better places to be with the rest of the Why Don't We boys. Though, Zach isn't quite sure if can call that luck seeing as he was getting beat up for the fact that he got to leave early.
You would think that everyone would love having a pop star at their school and would try to be his best friend, WRONG! No one liked all the special treatment he got and always made fun of him for it. Whether it was him getting to leave early or come in late, not having to do P.E. and instead got to practice singing since dance rehearsals gave him the credit he needed, getting to miss more school than anyone else, or even just how the music teacher liked to use Why Don't We videos (or better yet Zach himself) for examples in class, the kids always found some reason to hate him. Not to mention all the shit that Zach gets put through when drama happens or new music/ interviews drop. Just the thought makes him flinch and let out a few tears.
Zach sighed as he pulled himself up from the ground once the bullies were out of sight. He was already late, and BamBam would not be happy with him because of it.
No one knew he was bullied and he wasn't about to tell them. He knew how bad Daniel was bullied when he was in school after Idol and he didn't want to complain. Besides, it wasn't that bad, just hurtful words and a few bruises... and sometimes a little bit more, but it wasn't anything he couldn't handle.
As he made it to the front of the school, he walked a block to find the car that management had texted him and told him he would be picked up in. They already had the worry of fans finding out what school he went to so they were taking all the precautions to ensure that that didn't happen.
If Zach was honest, he thinks the reason that no one in the school had squealed to the press and make his life a living hell was that they didn't want him to get more special treatment and attention, not to mention the fact that everyone would have to fight off the paps to get in.
"Hurry up next time, Zach, we're gonna be late to the interview because of you." Zach just sighed and curled in on himself from where he sat in the back row as he watched the rest of the boys grumble.
It wasn't his fault that Trent and the rest of the school hated him. Zach's brow furred as the thought went through his mind. It furred, even more, when he winced from his hand brushing past one of the new bruises he had.
After about half an hour they got to the interview where they were promoting their new tour. They were going to start a media tour next month once Zach got on spring break but they were just going to place in or near LA at the moment.
Once they got on set they were rushed to the stylist before hair and makeup took over. After 40 minutes, it was time to start the interview.
"So, we're going to play a game called 'Most Likely To' just hold up the picture of who you think is most likely to." All the boys nodded that they understood, seriously it was like interviewers didn't think they had common sense or had ever heard of the game. It's always the same games, same questions, same answers. Nevertheless, the boys tried to seemed excited and intrigued.
