I feel someone come and sit next to me on the fence outside school. I look up, Zach.
"Hey" he says softly
"Hey" I reply
"You okay?" He asks
I shrug, "plenty of people ask if I'm okay, most of the time they don't really want to know"
"I want to know"
"No you don't" I say
Zach looks at me and raises and eyebrow
I sigh,
"it's hard," I admit, "a lot harder than I thought it would be
"I know," Zach says, "I try so hard to be happy. Sometimes it's too hard."
"You get worse before you get better," I say, "I know that's true but I can't help but not feel good enough. Not pretty enough"
"Being pretty isn't about having a pretty face." Zach says quietly, "it's about being pretty on the inside. A pretty heart and a pretty mind. That's what's important"
I smile at him,
"And if you ask me, you have all those things" Zach finishes, looking down
I wait for him to look at me, when he does our eyes meet. He looks nervous, but not as nervous as I feel. He offers me a small smile. I take a deep breath, I'm about to something I never though would happen. I'm about to kiss Zach Williams.The Zach Williams.
Before I can our lips crash together. He puts his hand under my chin and scoots closer to me. When he finally pulls away he holds my hand in his. Our fingers interlock and Zach turns to look at me.
"I have to get to class, I'll see you later."
He says standing up.
He pulls me in for a quick hug and kisses me on the forehead before walking away.
