(Vanessa's POV)

I just stared at him. My GORGEOUS boyfriend. How could I be so lucky to have found such a perfect boy? I just smiled to myself and thought "Job well done, Vanessa". Zac was the perfect boy, and totally hot! He was the guy everyone wanted and he was all mine!

"HEY!" a voice said behind me. I flinched. It was my best friend, Ashley.

"ASH! You scared me half to death!" I said, catching my breath. She just laughed so hard, I thought she would just die. Right there in front of me. I shuddered at the thought; I never wanted to lose her!

"So what's crackin'?" she didn't wait for me to answer , "Hey, want to hang out after school? A girl thing?" she sat down next to me.

"Ooooh," I said "I can't… Zac is taking me to the mall after school! ..Sorry."

Ashley's face told me she DIDN'T understand. "Well… can't I go with you guys?" she asked. But she already knew the answer when I gave her a desperate look. "Oh. I get it. You guys want to be alone. I don't want to get in your relationship.." she smiled a bit, but I knew she didn't mean it when she left, head down. I felt 2 things.

1) I was just annoyed that she gets into my head like that, and that she would take me on a guilt trip.

2) I was feeling a sad, empty, hollow feeling.

Zac's voice cheered me up a bit.

"Hey babe!" he kissed my cheek. I smiled and he sat down. "Ready for the mall? I was thinking that we could go to like Big 5 Sporting Goods or Play it Again Sports or Men's Warehou—"

I cut him off "In your dreams, Efron!" I giggled "We're going to Abercrombie and Fitch, Forever 21, and Hollister and American eagle and Aerop—"

His turn to cut me off. "WAYY to expensive! I was thinking for YOU, Ross or Mervyns or Target—"

"OOOH! COACH!" I remembered "I always forget Coach!"

He just smiled and kissed me quickly and softly. "Have whatever you want." he got up and put his backpack on.

"Awhhh!" I cooed.

"Lemme finish! You can have whatever you want—as long as I don't pay!"

I laughed. "See you 'round, Zaccy."

He smiled just as the bell rang. "See you round."

Again, how could I be so lucky as to have Mr. Perfect as my boyfriend?!
