mad at you ❞ z. herron [on hold]

Just Friends

third person

Zach wanted to go over to Cheryl's house to make things right between them because he can't stand to not be around her. He is really trying to fix this relationship so he can win her heart again.

He knocks at her door and she opens in having a curious look on her face as she wondered why is he here.

"Hey, Cheryl, I know you're wondering what am I doing here, but please just here be out before you close the door," the boy pleaded as he can tell from her body position that she was about to close the door but then hesitated the listen.

"Ok, thanks, I just want to have a normal friendship because I don't want it to be awkward whenever we meet up with the others," Zach explained.

"I get what you're saying," Cheryl says quietly looking down.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would've hanged out with you." She added.

"Well I thought you were still mad about our past and you didn't want anything to do with me." The boy said.

"Well I thought you moved on because I heard you were dating this girl named Kay Cook?" She said.

"No not at all, we used to date but it didn't work out. I don't contact her anymore but she still comments on my posts and always tries to get back with me." Zach sighed at just the thought of it.

"Oh, ok, we'll come in, we can find something fun to do," Cheryl invites him inside.

"How about we bake cupcakes!!! It was your favorite when we- um, you know, dated." His mood changed real from excited to awkward.

"Yea, great idea. See, I always knew there was smartness inside of your high school dropout brain," Cheryl laughs at her joke.

"Oh really, who's shorter?" Zach said comparing his height to her.

"Well, you're only taller by like 2-3 feet," Cheryl rolls her eyes.

"Close your eyes, Zach," she said.

"Why do I feel like your up to something,@ he says suspiciously.

"Do you trust me?"

That was a big word for Zach. Trust.

"Yea," the boy replies.

He closed his eyes to only get icing on his nose and powder all over his face.

"Ok, game on," he says chasing Cheryl.

The ex-couple made cupcakes together and automatically grew a strong bond. They even called each other, friends.

Zach didn't want to be just friends. Neither did Cheryl.

Even though they kept their feelings inside, they were both happy they were

Just friends
