Chapter One:
Zack's POV
I, Zack Mooneyham, missed my bus to school, two times in the first month of eight grade, I was running as fast as I could to school, which took about ten minutes from my house, I looked behind my back to see how far I had run, and slammed into something, it was Summer.
"What in God's name?! Oh,...Zack..Sorry" Summer said
"No, I'm sorry. I wasn't paying any attention to where I was going" I said
"No, No. It's my fault" Summer said
"No, It's mine" I said
"This is stupid, It's both our fault and we're both sorry" Summer said
"Yeah, you're right" I said
"Why were you running anyways? I thought you didn't like too" Summer asked
"I don't. But, I had too, missed the bus" I said
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Zachary. Learn how to set an alarm clock, ok" Summer said
"I overslep, so what? we're both gonna be late if we don't hurry" I said
"What? Oh..damn, you're right. Let's get going" Summer said, while looking at her watch
We both started running and arrived at our school under fie minutes later. Right when we got to our first hour class, which we had together, the bell rang. We ran into the classroom, and jumped into our seats.
"Nice that you decided to join us, Mr. Mooneyham and Mrs. Hathaway" said their first hour science teacher, Mr. Johanseen
"Sorry, I missed the bus" I said
"Ok, well..What's you're excuse, Miss Hathaway?" Mr. Johanseen asked
"I overslept, my alarm clock broke" Summer said "Sorry, It'll never happed again, sir"
"Alright, well..continuing our discusion on Genetics..." Mr Johansee, said, but I couldn't hear what her was teaching, I was too busy thinking about Summer. I didn't know why, but I was thinking about how pretty she was, but I didn't wanna tell her what I thought of her, or how I...feel about her, if I even have feeling's for her at all. My wonderful day-dreaming was abruptly stopped by my best friend, Freddy Jones, drummer in our band called 'School of Rock', he had practically pushed me out of my seat, Freddy laughed.
"Hey, dude..umh, I don't know what you were thinking about, but by the look on you're face, you obviously were really enjoying it" Freddy said, smirking
"Yeah, shut up, dude. It was nothing, I was just trying to think of something other than Genetics, ok" I said
"Whatever, think what you want. Come on, let's get to gym" Freddy said

Summer's POV
When lunch started for eighth grade, I ran too the girl's bathroom. I wanted to look good for Zack. I had seen the way he had been staring at me during Science and Art, this morning. Whe I was finished, I went to where the member's of "School of Rock" were sitting and sat right next to Zack, like I did sometimes.
"What took you so long?" Zack asked
"Oh, I was fixing my hair" I said
"Oh" Zack said, he slid closer to me and smiled, I blushed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Freddy's POV
Zack's been acting weird around Summer, which for some reason made me feel strange too. Especually, when he just moved really close to her, where they were sitting, my stomach started to have a dull ache in it. I don't know why, because I've been with Katie practically since sixth grade started.
"So Zack..Gonna ask Tink our soon?" I asked, whispering in Zack's ear, for some reason
"No, I'm not sure when I'm gonna yet, It might be today or next week and you're making me feel very... uncomfortable, by what you just did" Zack said
"Sorry, I just didn't want Summer to hear" I said
"Ok, just never do that again, dude. It makes you look gay" Zack said
"Yeah, definetaly. I'm never gonna do it again" I said
Katie kissed me on the cheek, for no reaso. She then got up to dunp her lunch tray, waved then walked off.
"You're lucky" Zack said
"I wish" I said, stupidly
"What?" Zack asked
"Oh, nothing" I said
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Katie's POV
Summer wanted me to meet her in the library during Study Hall to talk, so I met met her by the computers. When Summer saw me, she pulled me into the computer chair next to hers.
"Woah..Ok, what's up?" I asked
"Do you think Zack likes me?" Summer asked
"Maybe" I said
"Maybe? What do you mean, maybe? Didn't you see how he was looking at me today?" Summer asked
"That? Oh, yeah. He likes you" I said
"Is that a fact?" Summer asked
"No, It's an opinion. You can tell by the way he is when he's around you" I said
"You really think?" Summer asked
"Yeah, he definetly likes you. Who wouldn't" I said
"Thanks Katie, I just wanted to know what you thought" Summer said, beaming
"Anything to make you happy. I'm gonna go back to Study Hall, now. Bye" I said
"Bye" Summer said, smiling wide, turning around and starting to play a computer game, because she was done with all her school worl...suprise, suprise.
I walked back to my Study Hall, happy about what had just happened. Wanting to remember how It felt, to first realize, that someone might have feeling for you, It's probably the best feeling on earth.
