The rest of the day passed pretty quickly. It was a long day but my mind was busy in wondering things that was highly confusing, about Zack. I was so regardless of time that I almost got detention for not paying attention in the class. However, I handled it there.

But the fact, I wasn't even aware of upcoming Circumstances. And it was going to be a hard time to make decisions.

'Because Circumstances can change things, beyond your imagination'

****

Mia and I was in the parking lot standing beside a car waiting for Noah, who went for his Football practice.

Mia was checking her phone and I was feeling sleepy.

'Let me tell you! a fact about sleep. It is a sign of 'stress' and if you haven't got enough sleep so you feel 'crabby' and tired whole day.'

May be that was the reason, I was drifted out all day today.

"So!" Mia snapped me out.

"What?" I asked confusingly looking at her.

"I saw him!"

"Saw who?" I asked again and she was looking at me, now.

"Ugh! You know whom I'm talking about El." She said rolling her eyes but I was still not getting her.

"Ok! I don't know whom you're talking about Mia." I muttered mimicking her.

"Arr! Are you sure your mind doesn't wander around leaving you alone." She mocked and continued. "I'm talking about Zack, Obviously!" She said in the duh tone.

"And why?" I asked tiredly.

"Because I saw him, he was looking at you...No! Wait, he was staring at you in the canteen and not only in there, but also had starring at you when we were standing beside your locker, Today." She said in pure disbelief but at the same time grinning ear to ear. I knew what she was hinting, but didn't want to hear it.

'WTH! She's teasing me for Nothing.'

"I saw your locker Neighbor staring at you more like admiring you at the same time." Mia affirmed and was looking like drifted off of reality.

"Oh! Shut up Mia, you're watching too many k-dramas these days. He surely wasn't, but you are the one who must be admiring him." I remarked with my bunny fingers.

I knew he was my locker neighbor this year, but that 'doesn't make any sense' and I Mia was just overeating at that, Because onetime bumping won't change anything.

'And I hope things will be the same as they are, now.'

"What? No way! Why would I do that."

"Uh! You know, Now you are acting like Mrs. Cabral." I said in dismay, mentioning our History teacher.

"Yeah! And after sometime I will make you believe that Vampires are Real and pumpkin can make them weak and run away." She muttered trying not to laugh.

"But only if it's perfect in shape, scary and lightning with strong smell." I remarked and we burst out Laughing.

Shortly afterwards, I covered my mouth to muffled the sound, suddenly being aware of the place, but Mia wasn't even certain about it as she was still laughing hard like a child. I again got a laugh and by now we both must be looking loony.

I would call it state of mind because there was something very wrong about this fact being a joke to us.

"Hey Gurls! Am I interrupting you?" A voice asked ruining our precious moment.

Unfortunately knowing who was this, I turned around and Zack was standing there with his cocky grin. 'I hate his presence already!' But not everyone.

'OMG! Never... How lucky I a-' Mia muttered under her breath and elbowed her. And he ofcourse found it funny.

'This gurl really is something lil...'

"Actually! You're not, Mr. Popular."

"Oh! Just call me Zack, please!"

"Sure."

'Hello! Am I too easy to forget or keep aside as nothing.'

"So, Um... can I steal your friend for a minute?" He asked Friendly and I just started at him dumbfounded. 'What the bloody hell!'

But he just completely scoffed my look. "Oh! And Noah is also looking for you umm..." He uttered to her still looking at me. 'Stupid!'

"It's Mia!" She said shyly. I could see, these people were having an meticulous introduction in extremely weird way. Zack continued peeping me and it was inescapable for me to look away because of something, I didn't know. Probably there was some problem with him to to make people uncomfortable around him cause I was starting to feel.

'God! Just go away...'

As if reading my mind he spoke again, breaking her trance. "So, can I?"

Mia blinked multiple times before smiling widely looking at me.

"Of course! Yeah! Actually..." She trailed off looking at me. "I won't even mind if you keep my Bestfriend, forever." She confidently said, whispering last word and I was looking at her with my eyes wide open.

"Thanks!" He chuckled still ignoring me.

"Oh! You are welcome, Zack" She said, as if it wasn't a big deal.

'WOW! And here standing the person whose Deal is being done'

I thought she was my bestfriend. But, was extremely confused about all this talking.

Before I came up to speak, she whispered. "Shoot your shot, bebe!" Slapping my butt and mouthed see you later!...

"Hey!" I cried, rubbing my butt, hearing a chuckle, I turned around to see he was looking at me with cocky grin. As of it was funny!

'WTH! Does he want from me...'

I quickly turned my face away when his gaze became wary. God! Something didn't seem right with him.And this moment was embarrassing enough to make me blush.

'Uh! I can't believe, this gurl could implied something very wrong...' Who do that, in such a place.

"So, She wouldn't mind if I keep you....forever?"

"Huh!" He smirked for a moment and I only glared at him.

I knew was surely stuck in here accidentally here. Well I couldn't actually blame the situation but only cursed Mia silently for leaving me. I could sense his gaze memorizing me and I hate myself for not Running from there instantly.

Here I was standing completely clueless about his intentions. Was he came her for some sort of revenge warning. Well I didn't want to know that just want him to far away from me Now.

'But things doesn't word according to us, Right! '

I thought he must have left but he was still standing there kept staring me. Well 'what a thin time it is...'

It might not be as possible as I was thinking.

"Ok! What do you want, I don't remember that I have any-"

"Woah! There!" He said cutting me off.

"Just wanna talk yo you." He shrug and I wasn't expecting that.

"About what?" I raised eyebrows feeling anxious. He did the same as if telling me, I should have knew about it. That's when my breathing became heavy.

'Oh! God! I thought he's good enough to forget it...'

"Nothing, just want to know that why are you Running away or in short Ignoring me?" He stated and I was shocked was an understatement. I didn't know if this was a funniest joke, I've ever heard or I had gone crazy.

'Well, let's not get worry over nothing...'

He waited for my reply by giving me 'I won't bite, you know.' look. But I wasn't sure of how let my words out?

Suddenly realizing that, it was our First time speaking to each other, excluding that accident.

I was wondering, cause he was asking me that as if it was hurting him, somehow. 'Well I'm sorry!' But you would have done that too if you had 'busted a nose' of some popular person and didn't want his 'fanclub' to blown you away or torture you to death, If you were on my place.

But I still was wondering, why did he not tell anybody except his best friend?

I looked back at him as he was still waiting for my answer hopefully and I had no idea what to say as I wasn't certain of this thing.

"I-I..." I mumbled and he just started back at me calmly. It wasn't an insight situation but not hilarious either and I was not I was getting more afraid but couldn't show him that so I took a deep breath trying to hide my look.

"Listen, I'm so sorry for... for hitting your nose, ok! But I didn't do that on purpose, it just happened by mistake. I was tying my shoe lace and you were came there out of blue and...."

"And?" He asked looking curious and that made my cheeks flush. I looked down not knowing what to do or say.

"And.... my head hit your face while getting up." I signed looking everywhere but him. Did he forget what happened there or just pretending innocent?

When he just stand there, continued to study my face gracefully. I blinked and thought to redo my apology speech.

"So, I'm sorry for that and for running from there too." But he just stared at me in amusement for what felt like Hours. His dark eyes shifted for a second, then back on me.

He started laughing all of sudden making me confused and shocked at the same minute.

'Alright! We need a doctor No! psychiatrist immediately, cause this person here needs some primary consultancy about mental-health.'

"Pretty Priceless...." His voice trills off and I still wasn't getting him.

"Gosh! Just look at your face Buttercup... it's Priceless." He spoke after breaking off the laugh. And I awkwardly looked around fixing my look.

"Look if this the only reason you're avoiding me, so stop doing this." He said clearly demanding. But I was feeling so horrible somehow.

"I know it wasn't your fault, so chill." He scoffed like, it wasn't a big deal but the comfort didn't come. "After all, it's our little secret, which is safe with me." He winked.

"Um... Ok!" I agreed, looking up at his resurging smiling which made me smiled too. "Thanku!" I muttered without knowing why? Refraining eye-contact to hide nervousness. I was trying to get along, but never was good at acting fairly.

I looked around and I was wondering about Mia. No way in the hell she could leave me here alone, 'I should call her, it's getting pretty late...' As if sensing my misgiving he spoke.

"Um... Why don't we get out of here?" I blinked looking around and smiled before nodding. I was about to leave when he grabbed my hand to stop me. I looked at him confused.

"Wait! I mean.... I'll drop you." I opened my mouth but got startled by his benign look.

"Uh! I-" I wasn't expecting that, at this all my thoughts were completely lodged. All I was asking and screaming mentally.

'What did he just....say? Why is he offering me a ride? Is this some kind of Joke, should I laugh, like Hahaha! Nice joke.... No! This would be a foolish rambling, He will definitely think I'm insane, Laughing at a normal chitchat.'

"Cause I don't think, your friend is coming back here." He said breaking the silence, knocking me back to earth. I wandered for a moment and he was right. There was no sign of Mia, she seemed long gone. 'Well...That was fast, I now can't even see her car anywhere.'

I looked back at him as he Straightened his posture, giving me his ecstatic smile.

"It's Ok! I'll manage, you don't need to bother yourself." I came with a protest but failed.

"No! Let me."

"But it's fine Zack rea-"

"Of course! It will be... Because you are coming with me. Now, No Exceptions." He said with bit firmly and I couldn't make words at that moment so I simply nodded. It would have been a lucky day for any other gurl, they would even have probably kill each other or me to get a ride or to make splash but It wasn't for me, for me he was a Stranger. Sure we study in the same college even in same class but we hadn't talked ever. And the thought of going with him alone was scary enough to make me anxious.

"Uh! C'mon I won't do anything, I promise." He remarked reading my thoughts and I just nodded hoping for getting home safely.

He walked leading us towards his car and I just followed. When we reached there he opened the passenger door for me with a smile was still there. I mumbled a Thanku! And he seated on driver side, I told him my address and we drove off.

On the way I got a nice view and details of his car which was Black SUV and there was not a single, tiny scratch on it. The interior was also amazing.

'WOW! He has got such a nice car...'

I was debating to touch and take a look of the interior or not. But was too afraid, 'What if he gave me a look 'DON'T FUCKING TOUCH MY CAR!' Or literally shout at me for spoiling his precious car.' So I placed my hands on my lap instead.

The drive was silent non of us uttered a single words but him just humming the songs that were playing in the car. It turned out, he pretty much be fond of One Direction, Taylor Swift and Charlie Puth songs. And of course I didn't complain about that.

The car stopped in front of my house and I undone my seat belt taking a deep breath as the anxiety was trying to kick in again, replacing stillness.

"WOW! Your home is at a very nice place." Zack commented while getting out of the car after me glancing around like a happy kid.

"Yeah! Thanks." I responded looking around, trying to stay put by clutching my my bag. I was waiting for him to leave so I could go inside the house but he never did, instead he just stood there and staring at me, didn't know why?

'Didn't I just say thanks! Then why is he still here? God! what does he want now?'

By now I was hella broody. I looked at him dumbfounded and certainly he just started back but merrily. 'Help pls!'

"Um... Thanks for dropping me, Drive safely, Bye!" I muttered quickly and turned around to leave. I just couldn't brainstorm more at this very moment.

"Wait!" He stopped me.

'Of course! How can you let someone leave, so easily....'

I turned around and Zack was giving a look 'Aren't you forgetting something' but I stayed still had no idea what to say.

"So, What do you think...." He came close and I just looked at him perplexed. But he just sling it away by not breaking the eye contact and stepped close enough to made me heart race. And before I knew his lips were touching my ear.

"ABOUT US." He whisper husky in my ear and a Shriver run down my spine. Those words were too catchy to make me froze. Our eyes met and I got astray, incapable to make any moment. His Ocean blue eyes were piercing my soul and I just held my breath but he was looking so delighted, adoring the moment.

He back off but was still close to me. Shortly, shoved his hands in his pockets smiling devilishly which made my breath hitched. I looked down and back to him still incognizant, didn't know how to react? At his sudden question which was more like a statement.

"W-what?" That was all I could mutter. I was feeling uneasy under his staring, looking around.

"You heard Me." He whisper along with a smirk. I blinked trying to discover, a real reason of his baffled words. He chuckled lightly and back off was probably finding it uncool.

'Yeah! Right... Stop jumping like a Rabbit on conclusion it doesn't suits a Mouse....'

'But everyone loves rabbits then why not mouse...'

'Because everyone thinks Cat will love mouse better...'

'Oh! Then who will love the Cat? Dinah?'

I quickly snapped out of my weird thoughts and watched him as he turned around still smiling and started walking, but then he turned back again.

'Well that's surprising...'

"I know..." He scratched the back of his neck, holding back a smile. But could still notice, it was a genuine one.

"But just think about it, Ella." He mumbled giving me smiling look before leaving.

I just scanned the area where he was standing a seconds ago. My mind was still convincing the words he had just spoken.

'Ok! I don't know if that was rude or in kind way but... Whatever he just said was really Unexpectable.'

I slowly placed both of my hand on my cheeks to lightly slap myself. Sure enough I was acting stupid but this wasn't a dream. It was him, Zack Williams and I really need a minute or so to assure myself that he was really here and we talked and.... he said something very convoluted. I could still feel his her warm, minty breath on my face, which was oddly felt pleasant but a complexed feeling was explicit and the question was,

'What the hell did he just say to me?'

That was hard to answer may be that's why I was Standing there in complete shock.
