PHOTOGRAPH ( one shots. )

TAKEN !

hello it's rin and this was supposed to be in "princess" which honestly, idk if i ever published that book, but ya know. it died, just like all my other books. but for now, enjoy this here

MACKENZIE ZIEGLER walked into the lunch room. her eyes roamed the cafeteria. mackenzie didn't have many friends. the problem with her was she hated socializing. she hated making new friends and everyone knew that. in her opinion, people scared her.

while looking around the cafeteria, she didn't see any of her friends and she sighed. she also hated being alone. her last resource was johnny orlando, her neighbor and her best friend's brother. johnny and kenzie didn't like each other much. no one knew why but they just did. they had known each other for ever. they had been neighbors since they were five and kenzie was now sixteen, turning seventeen, and he was eighteen. they knew everything about each other. full names, what they liked, what they don't like, favorite songs, who their first kiss was, everything. but they still didn't like each other.

she sighed before heading towards johnny's table. "move asshole," she told isaak presley who was sitting next to johnny. he was about to say something but he stopped himself as he scooted away.

"for fuck's sake," johnny muttered under his breath. "what are you doing here, mackenzie?" he asked.

"well," she started. "i don't know where any of my friends are and you know i hate making new friends so you're the closest thing i have to a friend at the moment."

"god damnit, kenz," he muttered chuckling. "when are you going to learn?"

"when are you going to stop climbing through my window in the middle of the night to prank me?" she retorted making the boys surrounding them make "ooh!" sounds.

"fuck you." he muttered under his breath crossing his arms and causing mackenzie to giggle.

"i hate you too, john," she told him before beginning to eat.

as she ate her lunch, she heard one of johnny's friends, ashton arbab, telling him, "she's hot. is she single?"

"she's taken!" johnny quickly yelled. despite "hating" her, growing up with her definitely had an effect on him. he became the overprotective brother she never had. he would even walk her home just to make sure she was safe when she lived right next door.

johnny knew ashton was a player, just like him and he didn't want to see mackenzie get hurt. sure, johnny being a player, he might hurt her as well but at least he knew how to take care of her.

"by who?" ashton asked.

"me!" johnny told him, wrapping his arms around kenzie's shoulders. her eyes widened but she knew what he was doing so she played along.

she knew johnny well enough to know that he was being her overprotective brother. she knew how ashton could be and she knew that johnny didn't want her to get hurt. "prove it, then." ashton said. "kiss her."

mackenzie shrugged her shoulders before pulling him closer to her. she kissed him fiercely which shocked johnny. she wrapped her arms around johnny, pulling him closer to her. it hadn't been the first time they had kissed. johnny was kenzie's first kiss and kenzie was johnny's first kiss. they had been fifteen at the time and they were sitting in johnny's bedroom.

sometimes, they could be soft with each other but it rarely happened. when kenzie had something she didn't want to tell lauren, nadia, annie, brynn, or jayden, she would turn to johnny. and when johnny was having trouble in school, kenzie would tutor him until he understood what he was doing. that day, kenzie had come into johnny's room because her parents had been fighting again. he let her cry in his arms and kissed her forehead repeatedly. without realizing it, the two teens were kissing the next second. they both swore it wouldn't happen again but guess what! they did it again. multiple times.

"we don't need to see you and your girlfriend making out, god damnit!" ashton yelled.

johnny chuckled, breaking the kiss. "at least i know how to treat a girl right."
