Mia Rain: Bayside High

A Sky Full of Flies

I've been in Zack's house for nearly seven hours now. Nighttime was present. We got hungry and Mrs. Morris let me eat dinner. Thankfully, she didn't witness what we did. It be really awkward and embarrassing. Me and Zack watched TV, played board games and worked on our duet song. God, I can't help smiling when he looks at me or I think of him. It'll be the inspiration in the song. In a few weeks, I have my video shoot for Rooftop. I loved being with Zack right now. We were tired and laid in bed with his arm wrapped around my neck. I smiled and kissed his cheek. He smirked. "What was that for?" He asked. I pouted. "If I say I love you, will you stop asking?" I asked. He chuckled and hugged me. I hugged back. We laid onto the headboard and sighed. "So, anything coming up?" I asked. He smirked. "For me, summer!" He said. I smiled excitingly. "I know! I'm also excited about my Rooftop video! I just need a few friends in the video." I said, smirking at the last part. His jaw dropped. "Really? You want us in it?" He asked. I quickly nodded. "Can't have a rooftop party without your friends." I said. He smiled and hugged me. I madly blushed. "I love your hugs." I breathed. He smirked. "I love your kisses." He teased. We kissed passionately. Soon our phones buzzed with so many texts from groupchat.

Lisa💓👑: I saw your cute pic of Mia! Too adorable!🥰

Jessie😇🌎: beautiful angel? Huh? 😏

Kelly💋❤️: that pic is SO CUTE!😍😍😍

Slater😎💪🏼: Preppy has the lovebug😱😂

Screech🥸👊🏼: haven't u guys heard? We're coming to your house!😉

I laughed at Slater and Jessie's texts. Zack was confused. "What do Screech mean? He says haven't you heard, we're coming to your house?" He asked. I shrugged. "I don't know either." I said.
He smiled and turned off the TV. "Let's enjoy our alone time." He said. I chuckled. "I like that." I said. We continued cuddling. That is, till the door busted open. "Zack!" Screech called. We parted and quickly rolled out of bed. Zack fake smiled. "Screech, what are you doing here?" He said through gritted teeth. "Didn't you read our texts? It's stargazing month! We're going to watch fireflies in the sky!" He said. Zack sighed. "Outside my house?" He asked. He nodded. The others walked in. Their jaws dropped. Slater playfully smirked. "Whoa, is there something going on?" He teased. "Yes- I cut Zack off. "No! It's fine, let's go stargazing." I said, smiling. They cheered and left the room. I poked his nose. "We'll do this next time. Right now, I wanna look at fireflies!" I said. He rolled his eyes and chuckled. We left with his arm wrapped around my neck.

We were in the backyard of Zack's house. They had blankets so they could lay on the grass. I shared one with Zack. Screech and Slater brought snacks and sodas. The fireflies will fly in the sky around 8pm. To save the time, we talked and ate.
Lisa couldn't stop gossiping about the photo Zack posted. We took group selfies and the girls and I done silly cheer cartwheels. Zack and the guys playfully cheered. We laughed as I return to my spot. Jessie gasped. "Look guys!" She said. We threw attention to the sky. Our jaws dropped. Fireflies flew in the night sky. "So pretty!" Kelly said, sounding amazed.

We pulled out our phones and began filming videos. Why not do that? I smiled in astonishment. "Let's walk around them." Lisa said. "Won't they run away?" Slater asked. Jessie nodded her head no. "As long as you don't run or surprise them." She said. We got up from the ground and calmly walked around the fireflies. They flew around me and Zack. I giggled. He smiled, hugging me. Screech caught some in a jar, Lisa snapped pictures of herself and the flies. Kelly twirled around as they flew around her. Jessie waved hello to them. Slater tried to catch them with his finger. This is coolest stargazing ever. I never seen these fireflies in my life.

Seeing them fly around gives me inspiring feels. I snapped a photo of them and posted. I felt someone sneak behind me. I smiled and looked at Zack. Our hands intertwined as we watched the flies lighting up the night. "Whoa!" Screech panicked. The fireflies flew around him in a circle, causing him to spin around and panic. We laughed. "Why are they spinning around me?" He asked. Jessie sighed. "Because you put them in a jar which affects their environment." She said. Zack rolled his eyes. Finally, the flies flew away which sucked. Lisa sighed happily. "They're leaving now. Yet they're like cute little stars." She said. Kelly nodded in agreement. "We should get inside." She said. Everyone started going back in the house. Zack smirked. "Had fun?" He asked. I hopped on his back, wrapping my legs around his waist. "Only better." I said, smiling. He walked me back inside. Time to go home. Everyone said goodbye and left. I had to get home as well. I slipped my shoes back on and ruffled my hair. Zack pouted. "Don't leave." He said. I laughed. "It's not like I'm leaving forever." I said. He caressed my cheek. "I hate when you go." He whispered. I nodded. "Me too." I whispered. We kissed passionately. We parted and he helped me climb through the window. I made a beeline to my car. He waved. I smiled and waved back. Stargazing seem really fun, I hope we'll have it next year.
