"no no no no no" jack paced around his room trying to find his things, he had over slept and was late to school. he couldn't find his books or homework he had done the previous night before.

"jack honey...what's wrong" his mom knocked on the henge of the door

"i can't find anything and i'm late for school" he huffed as he pulled at his hair from stress

"your books are in the living room if that's something...also zach is down here waiting on you honey" she caressed his shoulder for comfort and he looked up at her surprised.

"oh my gosh thank you momma" he hugged her tightly and she chuckled as she hugged him back. they walked down stairs together as she sat on the couch and jack grabbed his books and zach followed him outside.

they sat in the car as jack went on and on about how he hated being late and zach just listened. they were an hour late to school, so they missed their first period which they had together. but it was fine since they were together right now anyways.

"hey uhm i found this the other day at an antique shop and thought you might want it" zach looked through his bag before pulling out the watch, it was a small dainty little thing but jack loved it.

"oh my gosh it's beautiful" jack awed as he reached over and wrapped his arms around the boy who gave him the gift.

"i'm glad you like it" zach took in the boys touch before they pulled away from eachother and got out of the car.

zach carried jacks books in side before they split up for their next classes as everyone scattered the hallways.

"oh hey you made it" corbyn greeted the boy and jack sighed "yeah i woke up late and it was a real mess"

"well we stopped by and you never came out, but we would've stayed longer if we didn't need to pick chrissy up" corbyn walked by the boy as they went to math

"that's okay, zach brought me" jack hummed

they started class and it flew by pretty fast. the whole day did honestly.

it was late that afternoon and the whole friend group was sitting in the diner. corbyn and christina were acting all lovey dovey as tate sat at the bar with daniel talking about something while watching jonah work and jack and zach were dancing to the music playing through the juke box.

it wasn't as busy today so there was a lot of room and no one would get disturbed by the teenagers actions.

"jack looks really happy" daniel muttered to tatum "yeah i've noticed that recently, zachary has done him good" tatum replied as they watched the two dance back and forth

they continued watching them until jonah walked over and sat down next to them and started conversation.

"stay over tonight...it's friday so we have all weekend to see eachother" jack stopped dancing and spoke and zach nodded "okay i will...but i have to see my mom first so i can tell her" he replied and jack smiled up at him

he checked the time on the watch zach had bought and saw it was 6:45 PM... "should we go now? or wait a little longer" he asked and zach shook his head "we have a little longer it's okay"

they all sat in a larger booth and ate the dinner Mr. Marais had made for them.

"okay but your guys dancing is off the rails" daniel joked as he grabbed a fry from the center of the table "i have to second that! me and jonah could never" tatum laughed

"okay okay but corbyns and christina staring contests are unbeatable" zach joked as the two lovers stared admirably at one another "wait huh" corbyn shook his head in confusion

"nothing besson nothing" jonah laughed

they continued laughing and joking before zach and jack had to leave as did corbyn and christina. jonah locked up and took daniel and tatum home afterwards.

"hey momma i'm going to stay at jacks tonight, okay?" zach walked into the living room "okay honey, love you" she kissed his forehead and he hugged her bye. he grabbed some clothes and they left and went back jacks.

"guess what my mom got me" jack jumped up in excitement "what? what?" zach asked giving off the same energy

"she bought me a polaroid like you!" jack smiled showing the brunette and he let a smile spread across his face. "aw yay! let's take some pictures then" he spoke and jack nodded

they sat on the bed and jack laid his head on zachs shoulder before he snapped the picture. he then kissed the boys cheek and snapped another one.

"way way wait! here sit on the bed like this...okay now do something" jack forced the boy to pose and once he caught him at the perfect moment he took the picture.

zach then told jack to write the dates etc. on the back of the picture or the bottom of it so he always remembered and so he did.

zach - october 17th,1952 (first polaroids)
zach and i - october 17th, 1952
zach and i - october 17th, 1952

(a/n random date but october is about the time this would be so yeah)

he then put them in a little box he had bought that he could keep placed on his dresser and no one would touch it.

he turned on his little radio he had in his room and let the low music play. zach laid down on the bed and jack laid his head on his chest as they relaxed in comfort.

"i'm glad you came into my life zach, you've made it better" jack spoke softly not disrupting the peace

"i'm glad you let me...you've changed my world avery, and i couldn't be more grateful" zach replied as he tightened his grip a bit.

they stayed quiet listening to the music in peace...
