Single and looking for compassionate boyfriend

CHAPTER 29

Zack's POV.

We don't need our other half to live in this world, we need our other half to make us feel the need of living.

Even with Kate's most lame attempt to tell me, she was sorry didn't make it up. I was pinning on her for long and that's how she ended it. If I was, to be honest, I wouldn't want to indulge any little amount or bigger amount of time in thinking of Kate. Her case was done and dusted. I didn't have to care about it anymore.

I shrugged as I entered into the school. Just last day before junior year ends and then our exams would wear off pretty quickly. Would it be safe to say that I have been dying to get out of this hell hole really really soon even if it is for two months?

It's at least two big fucking months.

"Hey, fucker. What ya dreaming about?" Sarah poked me in ribs.

"Have you ever thought how would it feel when everything is perfect?" I asked her ruffling her hair which further made her narrow her eyes at me.

She pretended to think for a minute and then replied, "Yes I have. I have thought through it." She grinned.

"How does it feel?" I made a poker face at her knowing she is going to give me a stupid ass reply.

"Umm, he will naturally buy my food and shoes. So I think it's gonna be an awesome feeling." Her grin widened while she said that.

"No idiot. Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favourite flower, your favourite song, your favourite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart." I told her looping her arm to mine as we climbed the stairs.

"Do you promise?" Her eyes twinkled like a baby.

"All affirmative. Besides, I think you should have an account on a dating application." I said smugly as a smirk appeared on my face and she grunted at my suggestion.

"C'mon you're so lonely and a psycho ass I don't think anyone will ever be with you." I grinned stupidly as she threw daggers with her eyes.

"What's with the looks? Don't you need a man in your life?" If looks could kill, I would have been buried dead right about now but that didn't stop me from chuckling at her looks.

"Alright, lemme put a status on your Instagram “single and looking for a compassionate boyfriend”. " I unlocked her phone and went straight to her Instagram.

Yes, I have an access to her phone. I know her password.

"Moron. Give me my phone back!" Sarah sprung on me like a madwoman or you could say like a crazy cat even. Both the appearances would highly match.

I snorted as the tried to grab her from my hand, it was quite amusing to watch her struggle because of her height. Before she could make further scratches Nate scooped her away laughing like a maniac. We both actually grinned at her when I finished putting that story on her Instagram. She had batshit crazy Instagram followers and the moment that story was uploaded her Instagram started blowing off. And then our laugh was short-lived since the bell rang, today's day would be just submissions since our exams are due from next week.

I'm gonna nail it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Post exams we were all sitting at Sarah's home ready to dive in the park nearby. Sort of a picnic because it was bright and sunny and tomorrow everyone is gonna leave for their vacation before the senior year starts. How ironic only me and Sarah aren't going anywhere and Nate is practically begging to stay here.

Who misses an iconic vacation with maternal grandparents?

Idiot.

As soon as we all finished our food we said our goodbyes to her parents- Ava and Nick and went down to the park. It was nothing that extraordinary of a hangout, we just played football/soccer (A/N: football and soccer are the names of the same sport but it's called either of it in most places. Where I come from its called football. What is it called in your place?)

In the meantime when I sat down Rose followed. Obviously, she couldn't look me in eye but she seemed determined about something.

"How have you been!" Rose asked with a small smile etched on her face.

"Better than I was. Not vulnerable even when both you and your best friend decided to screw my feelings just for fun." I mumbled putting down the bottle.

"Looks its not like that." Even if she had the power to convince me, I wouldn't be ever convinced.

"You must trust me, Zack." And that was the blow, I grunted at the mention of trust.

"I do really really like you!" She kept her eyes on my lips with lust, I legit moved back.

Whoops.

I think she had other plans.

She remotely flinched when I moved back.

"Rose there's a fine line between us. You have a boyfriend." I reminded her of something she chose to do and throw me under the bus.

"I'm sorry Zack!" She pleaded with her eyes but as much as I liked her it's not coming back now. It's done and dusted.

"You're sorry? " I scoffed at her but she didn't say a word. It was just like a thief turning itself in the police.

I sighed mentally.

"It's over though. I could throw you a chance of being my friend. I can't do more than that " I stood up and walked back to everyone who was playing just to see Sarah has tackled Nate down to the ground.

Fierce.

Nasty.

Hilarious.

She had scored and then she decided to tackle Nate down to the floor while she punched him on arm for a stupid comment. I laughed as Nate winced in pain.

"Jeez, woman you hurt me!" Nate winced while caressing his arm.

"I didn't even hurt you that much wuss!" Sarah scowled at him to which he showed his arm which had a little red hue turning in the red patch.

"Oh c'mon! You're such a wuss!" Sarah poked his cheek while everyone laughed at him.

"You fuckers all of you, just having fun while you see a poor soul beaten down to shit!" Nate huffed in annoyance.

"Okay lady warrior, now get the hell up!" I picked her from her waist and put her down.

"Thanks best friend! So much for helping me!" Sarcasm dripping clearly from Nate's voice was very hard to miss but I waved it off.

"No problem." I grinned back at a scowling Nate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have been at the airport for like 4 hours already. Seriously I don't know we had to come to drop off our friends until I was picked up by Nate in my sleep.

Sleep. It is very important.

Do not. I repeat do not ever sacrifice it for the airport and that too for seeing off.

The first flight was of the twins. I swear I didn't bother a bye with Rose until she tapped my shoulder for attention.

I did give a list for bringing my chocolates to Ellie.

"My sister is an idiot." She whispered in my ear.

"I'm sure she is!" I whispered back making her grin.

"Bye Zack, I'll see you in the senior year!" I nodded at Rose, the least I wanted was to have a conversation but before I could say anything Sarah called me over for buying her a coffee.

Yay. Saved by money.

Sarcasm. This was sarcasm. You better hold onto that.

Half an hour later, Kate and Abbott had their flight in two different directions and so we let them have their time as I watched Kate kissed him. I focused on my muffin.

Yeah. Muffin. It sounds delicious right about now.

They wave us goodbyes while I stood right taking the support of the wall.

"Are you sure you can't make me stay here?" Nate whined like a baby for like the tenth time in the past hour throwing a babyface at both me and Sarah.

"No!" Sarah laughed keeping a hand on his chest giving him a little push.

"If you do not shut up, I'm gonna kick your ass right about now." I yelled at him massaging my temple.

What? They woke me from half-sleep. I need some sleep.

"Nate you gotta go." Sarah told in a stern voice making him obey.

"Fine princess. I'll see you both soon but I'm gonna keep you posted with my whereabouts." He hugged me and ruffled Sarah's hair.

He is shy around her. Actually, he is shy around girls.

"No Nate we don't want to know about you?" I rolled my eyes.

"You're just an ass. Princess needs to know how am I doing." He grinned at her while he nudged me rapidly and with force.

"Just get going." I cribbed.

"Tell me you miss me and I'll walk!" He wiggled his eyebrows.

Hah. What the fuck.

I'm not gay.

"No just fuck off." I roared.

"No. See princess says she will miss me!" He pouted while Sarah nodded vigorously. I sighed and braced myself.

"Yeah, whatever. I will miss you."

"See I knew you love me." He laughed while I glared him.

"Princess take care of my love, will ya?" He grinned at her.

"I will!" She laughed ignoring my glares.

After Nate went, I trudged out with Sarah in her car. I don't know for what obvious reasons we took her car but at least we don't need a cab back home. Seriously it would have killed to look for a cab.

"So what are we doing?" I asked Sarah half yawning. It was still 8:30 am.

Their fight was early morning.

My precious sleep.

"We are finding a summer job!" She squealed in excitement.

Is it too early to squeal at 8:30 am or I am just abnormal?
