ZOEY

sometimes you've got to look at the world in a different perspective. in this case- or in our case, i had dramatically changed five boys lives in the span of three weeks. in another case, i had filled them with nostalgic memories of our times together. my best friends, their potential destructor.
      i was tracing circles on the back of zach's hand in a booth down town of L.A's fantastic city. we sat in a diner, this diner is one where we'd go to occasionally. after the chaos and abruption with pollen, me and zach actually got to reconnect, fill in the holes we'd left behind.

we ordered tall glasses of milkshakes, chocolate for him and vanilla for me. we'd share a cheese burger and fries, and split literal banana split. we'd do this routine on several different occasions.. including today.

"okay, so, it wasn't like a 'rude' gesture, it was more of a like 'fuck you, but thank you anyways' type, you know? anyways so i did that and gave them the cold shoulder for abouta week," my laughter was obnoxious but of course i couldn't seem to care as i told zach this notoriously old story.

he's hysteric as he scribbled on his white board.

what about the week after?

"we immediately after that week started talking again, it was stupid." i replied with a stupid grin as i dip the fry in ketchup and shove it inside my mouth. "the whole story is stupid." i chuckle covering my mouth as i told.

I thought it was pretty hilarious

"oh yeah?" he nods cheekily. "gimme a story, awh c'mon a juicy one with drama and details." i grab a napkin and wipe my hands as i watch zach write.

so I was like 10 or 12 okay? And I was in elementary school 5th grade tops and I had a huge crush on this girl in the other class...

I watch as he erases after i've finished reading and continues.

So on Valentine's Day I thought bringing a huge teddy bear to her was like a no brainer, who doesn't like teddy bears?

my smile grows as i watch him once again erase and rewrite.

Anyways once I gave her the teddy bear her friends giggled and the girl thanked me and hugged the teddy bear really really tight, right? Turns out the girl had been allergic to that exact cotton that I had specifically gotten her

"No way," i gasped with the loudest laugh.

he lets out an airy chuckle as he scribbled some more.

Her whole face was red and she had hives all over it was honestly disgusting but like of course my only thought at the time was "oh my gosh did I just kill my crush?" Everyone swarmed around her as she got sweatier and redder. She was sent to the hospital that day and for the rest of the day her class and mine and possibly the whole school thought I set off her allergies on propose- I even had to explain it to both her parents and mine... she was just extremely unlucky

"no fucking way," i laugh loudly, "so...basically...she was just extremely unlucky?" i wipe the tears from my eyes as i cannot stop laughing. zach seems to be in the same situation though he only makes loud airy laughers.

Yeah I think she was scared of me for the rest of the year, like on my birthday my mom gave me cupcakes to hand to both classes and I swear I saw her throw the one I gave her out

"i'll give you this point zach herron, your story is indeed fucking hilarious."

he smiles and erases his blue stained whiteboard.

This is nice I like coming here with you every other Friday night

"i like coming here with you too, though maybe someday we won't need the whiteboard to communicate?"

he chuckles and flashes his whiteboard

Maybe

"Maybe," i repeat before finishing my half of the cheeseburger.

i rest my hand on the table only to feel another being rested on top. it grabs my own lifeless hand and holds it for what felt like eternity, trying its best to get me to surrender in eye contact. i can't bear to look up, only to their hand that holds my own impeccable one.

for a moment he clears his throat and it catches me off guard, did i think possibly he was going to speak? yes, most definitely.
though instead it was the waiter who served us for the day... awaiting... for his check.

"oh, sorry," i let go of the warm ness of zach's hand and start to pull my wallet out but zach protests and holds his own wallet to my face.

"cash or credit?"

zach holds out his wallet but the waiter is visibly confused.

"uh- he says cash,"

he pulls out a few bucks and holds it up to the waiter awaiting for approval.
"Uhm..perfect, I'll bring back your change and the receipt." the waiter walks off and zach hurriedly holds up his white board.

He probably thinks we're crazy

i giggle and zach returns that for a chuckle.
"we're all a little crazy."

Thank you for this amazing night zoey

"no, thank you zach."
