Chapter 1. Yeah! Him

(THE day before the kiss)

Steicy's Point of View

Well, I know for a fact that this will never be changed. Another prank of the famous badass Zachary Zayne Sandoval just made me shower for 15 minutes again. How in the earth did he even get these things anyway? Really? A rotten egg mixed with some disgusting substance that I don't even know what this is.

"Steicy, Zach has put you in so much pain this past 3 years. Could you at least try to talk to him? It's not like you've been gone out with him. And we're already graduating yet he still put on pranks on you almost all day. This year should better be good" that was Samantha, Sam for short. She was my closest friend since Nevia chooses to unfriend me over her popularity issue. Saying I'm not that popular enough for her, yeah that was her issue. Gladly, Sam have my back since that incident.

And Zach? Well, let's just say we 'used' to be friends but not until he gain his popularity from being the badass and the typical bad boy in a story. So we've, by I mean 'we' is actually me. I decided to back away and never speak to him again. But again, he just have his way of getting my attention like one time in ninth grade, he set a slime explosion on my locker. Like what the hell! It took me like 1 hour to remove all the slime on my hair.

"Yeah, I wish so" I exited the change room and got my way out. Well, I hope no more stupid stunts by him today. I don't have enough clothes in my locker. And before I knew it, he was standing by the door to my next class. I don't have time for his dirty deeds. I walked pass him, hoping he never notice me back then.

"Steicy" he called out. I didn't look at him nor even flinch and turn my head to him. I'd stayed seated as soon as I got to my chair. I don't even plan to talk to him right after what he did. I don't even know if I have already removed that substance from my hair. But I'm making sure I'm taking another shower when I get home.

"C'mon Icy. You can't even resist me" I took a glance at him and sent him a dirty look. Who do you think he is, I can ignore him for how long I want. Besides, he chooses to be this popular guy that everyone dreams of. So deal with it. I don't want to be someone who tag-along and eventually blame me for not being popular or something.

"Stei...." just before he could finish his sentence, Mr. Alfarez already entered the classroom leaving Zach to take his seat. Save by the teacher.

"Okay, bring out your textbooks and answer page 154" so as the teacher said, of course, we followed. Well, not all of us. Zach just stared at the table not even moving an inch. For some reason, I missed having his company. Telling me his weird jokes and stupid ideas and stuff. It was fun back then not before, he gain his popularity and everything then becomes different around him. He met other friends that I'm pretty sure, I don't want to go into. He attended parties and even get drunk. I've returned my attention to the textbook when I've noticed he was already staring at me.

I've answered all the questions and passed my textbook to Mr. Alfarez. I've waited for Sam to arrive since we've been going home together. I've brought out my phone to check on my accounts. I've never checked my accounts before because I was so busy doing my thing.

"Hey Steicy" I'd looked up to see who was calling me and to my surprise, I saw Lucas right in front of me.

Well, Lucas Danford was my crush since seventh grade but I found out, I didn't like him that much. It started when I was at the library, he was this guy who wear glasses but look handsome at the same time. I was seating across from him when I noticed him with his history book on his face. I never cared at first but when I saw him, look at me. We started to talk that day, telling jokes. It just started to feel comfortable with him. We've hung out, like going to places, talking to stuff like that but it never worked out for me. Maybe I was just infatuated or something.

"Hey, Lucas" I'd replied. He's still the handsome guy, I saw at the library.

"Waiting for Sam?" he asked. I just gave him a nod then started to tap something on my phone.

"Sam, can you go a little bit faster. Lucas is right beside me"

"Well, a more reason for me to walk slowly"

"I'm serious Sam"

"Oh, c'mon Steicy. I know you want to be with Lucas. Just thank me later"

She didn't know that I don't have a crush on Lucas anymore but maybe I could tell her some other day. Just before I tap on my phone. Someone get my attention, well -- all of us.

"Can I get everybody's attention please?" I watched the guy who is in front of me, standing on one of the chairs which he probably drag onto the hallway.

Everyone was looking at him even Lucas which is actually by my side. I don't see the point of hearing whatever he wanted to say but something tells me I needed to hear it.

"Well, I know some of you know me, Zachary Zayne Sandoval.." him with his pride.

"And I know that some of you think that I'm a bad boy, more like a playboy if you wanted to call it. I never take girls seriously" Yeah! You are right!

"But I think, I need to change my ways. I'm not the playboy you used to know.." Ugh, can we just get to the main idea already? This whole speech is driving me nuts for pete sake.

I was caught off guard when I've met his gaze. He was staring at me, not even saying any word. I don't even know what to say. What is he even doing? He was already making his way to me, hoping I could step back but I was already pinned on the wall.

He took my hand and drag me -- by I mean drag, is completely drag. I don't like this idea, can he get a hint?

"I, Zachary Zayne Sandoval is removing my playboy ways and sticking to one who I truly love" he stared at me and I stared at him evenly so that I can see his eyes.

"Steicy Lyndsey Lopez, would you be my forever..." I've waited for him to say anything but only a laugh came out of his mouth. I stared at him with confusion until I realized that this was one of his pranks again. I can't believe this, I have dragged again with his pranks. I removed my hand from him and started running away. I hate him
