Aria Torres:
It took me a second to realise how Zack introduced me to nurse Abigail.

"Oh well of course. I'm Zachary Young and my beautiful girlfriend is Aria Torres".

I had no idea what was happening to me. The first few days he has been acting so mean to me, constantly embarrassing me, bringing me down, throwing water on me, saying nasty things to me and then when he's sick he calls me his 'beautiful girlfriend'. This was not happening right now. I stare at Zack who closed his eyes for a second, but I swear he just glanced at me. Too bad he can't see me shooting daggers at him, figuratively speaking of course. I also had no idea why I decided to help him out. Maybe it was because he looked so vulnerable sitting there on the floor with his head in his hands. I felt bad for him because students just passed him by as if he was a piece of garbage, or a sick puppy and they just left him to die. That was the feeling I got from seeing him sitting there, I realised that has no one. Rumour has it that he and his father are not on speaking terms at the moment, he doesn't get along with his mother and well his relationship with his brother is known to everyone.

A soft sigh leaves my mouth. Don't worry Aria you will love Australia, you are going to like it here Aria, you are going to a school with a zero tolerance for bullying Aria. If only things were that easier.

"Don't worry Aria. Your boyfriend will be fine. His body is just exhausted because he keeps pushing himself to do things he has no energy for. Besides that he has a mild fever, a few hours of sleep will fix it" nurse Abigail says.

I want to object but why bother, Zack will just charm the thought of the two of us together back in her head. Although I have never seen Zack be charming until a few minutes ago when he introduced us. In all honestly I like that side of him. Wait did I just actually put the words 'like' and Zack in the same sentence? I only know this boy for a few days but he has made a big impression on me.

"Yes well he is a stubborn guy" I say softly.

Afraid that Zack will wake up and mock me again. Nurse Abigail flashes me a smile while putting a glass with some pink lemonade on the nightstand next to me.

"Make sure he drinks this lemonade. It is really sweet but he can use it right now. After he is done drinking he has to take these two vitamins with some water and after that he can eat the soup I made for him".

I nod and take the pills from her hand. "Where's the soup".

"The soup is on my desk cooling off, next to it is a bottle of water which you can give to him. I'm sorry that you have to take care of him but there's been an incident in P.E. so they need me there. As soon as I'm back I'll take over" she says with a friendly smile.

"No need to hurry. I like to take care of my boyfriend" I softly say. A little voice in my head told me to play along. It wouldn't be bad to call Zack my boyfriend, it's just that I don't like his attitude towards everyone and everything.

Nurse Abigail flashes me an adoring smile. "The two of you make a lovely couple".

With those words she left me alone to take care of Zack. I just hoped he would sleep until she comes back so I don't have to talk to him. Don't get me wrong, it's just that a part of me keeps reminding me off him calling me worthless. I blink a few times to make sure I won't cry.

"I thought she would never leave" I suddenly hear.

I look at Zack whose eyes are wide open and he seems to be staring at the ceiling. That reminds me of how he was staring at me earlier, almost like he couldn't take his eyes off of me. Which is weird because he never really looked at me until today.
