Chapter 2

The next morning when Zac walked into school, he saw Vanessa standing by her locker. They had been talking until midnight the day before and Zac was happier than ever. He walked up to her. 'Hey Ness?'
Vanessa turned around. 'Hey Zac, what's wrong?' She looked at him, smiling. 'I was wondering if you would want to go out with me tomorrow night?' Zac asked biting his lip when he finished. Vanessa looked at him, then smiled even more. 'Of course I will, Zac…' She smiles. 'I would love too…' Zac smiles, then walked to his classroom, Vanessa watched him walking away, when he was out of sight, she started jumping with happiness.

Ashley, Corbin and Olesya watched their best friend jumping and twirling and looked at each other, raising an eyebrow. They walked over to Vanessa pulling her down from the jumping, making her stand still. 'What's up with you, happy person?' Corbin asked. Vanessa was just smiling. 'He asked me out, he asked me out!' She started jumping again. Ashley and Olesya started jumping with her. Corbin rolled his eyes at the three girls, walking to his class, sitting next to Zac. 'Dude what have you done?'

Zac looked up. 'Huh?' He was confused. 'You've created three monsters, they're jumping and screaming in the hallway, just because you asked her out.' Corbin groaned. Zac laughed. 'Sorry, man, I'm just really into her, can't help it…' Corbin looked at him. 'Are you kidding me? I hadn't found out after reading all the conversations you and Nessa have had…' He grins. 'It's like sooooo obvious.' Zac reddened a little. 'That obvious?' Corbin looked at him as if he was crazy.

Zac walked home at the end of the schoolday. He got home, dumping his bag on the ground, taking a drink from the fridge, he walked up to his room. He started up the computer logging in on messenger. No one was online. Good, so he could start and plan the date. He wanted to do something special for Vanessa, cause she was special to him. (A/N: awwww :)) He started calling restaurants for reservations and then for after dinner, just nice places where he thought Vanessa would like to go.

Vanessa walked into her room, she had just told her mother and sister about the date with Zac, they both knew how much she liked him, she hadn't been talking about anything else during the summer, had she? She fell onto her bed, looking at the ceiling, just staring into space. She had to get a nice outfit for the date, nothing too fabulous, just something nice. She got up, opening her closet door and looking inside, she groaned, it was shopping time… She closed the closed and walked to her bed, taking her cell phone, calling Ashley and Olesya.

Ashley picked up the phone. 'Ashley speaking.' She listened. 'Oh hey Ness, something wrong?' She grinned. 'Sure I'll come along, I'm going to stick you into the most gorgeous outfit ever!' She listened again. 'Of course not, you'll look amazing and Zac won't be able to keep his eyes off of you!' She grins, said goodbye and hung up, going back to her study.

Olesya answered the phone. 'Hey Ness…' She listened. 'Yeah of course I'll come along.' Olesya laughed. 'Did she really say that?' She laughed again. 'Well I'll make sure that you'll look appropriate for Zac, Nessa, don't worry…' She grins. 'Okay, see you in an hour, I'll come pick you and Ash up ok?' She nodded. 'Ok, see you then, bye.' She hung up and called Ashley. 'Hey Ash, it's Olesya, I'm picking you up in an hour, then we're going to Nessa, we are going to give her the best outfit ever…' The girls talked for a while, then hung up.

The girls arrived at the mall an hour later and started their mission. Vanessa had to get an outfit that Zac would drool over and wouldn't be able to keep his eyes off of her. That was their mission for that day. They started out in the bigger shops of the mall and looked around, but most of the clothes were for older women, and Vanessa was 18, not a woman in her forties. Then they took the smaller shops, just to look around, but they couldn't find anything there either. They decided on a drink and went to the small café in the midst of the mall, sitting down and ordering their drinks.

After two hours of shopping they still hadn't found something Vanessa liked or thought was good enough. At last they got into a little shop, where they sold clothes as well. The girls looked around, then Vanessa's eyes fell on a flowing skirt and a tanktop she really liked, she took it out of the rack and held it in front of her. She walked to the girls, showing it. She smiled, she really liked this outfit, it was simple, yet sexy and gorgeous.

Ashley smiled at her friend. 'It's beautiful, Ness..' Olesya nodded in agreement. 'It is, Nessa..' Vanessa smiles. 'I really like it, oh what the heck, I'm going to try it on.' She walked to the dressing rooms and changed into the outfit, after a few minutes she walked out. The girls awed at her. 'It looks amazing, Ness..' They looked at her. 'You have to buy it. You'd be crazy if you wouldn't…'

In the meanwhile, Zac was working on the date. When he finished he walked to his closet, to pick out his clothes. He decided on a dark blue jeans and a red t-shirt. It wasn't really special, but it was comfortable and he felt at ease wearing it. He laid them on the chair in his room and walked downstairs, it was time for dinner and it was his time to make it.

Dylan walked into his brother's room, expecting to find Zac there. He looked around, noticing the computer screen still on. He walked to it, sitting down in the chair and looking. He grinned. 'My big brother has a date…' He thought. 'With who?' He started up Zac's mailbox, reading some of his emails that he sent and received, he came across the ones Vanessa and Zac had sent each other. 'My brother has a crush, how cute..' He laughed, then walking downstairs. 'Hey bro, didn't know you fell for our neighbour?'

Zac looked up, looking at Dylan. 'What are you talking about?' Dylan grins. 'You know, that Hudgens girl, she lives at the end of the street with her family.' Zac looks at him. 'No she doesn't, she lives at…' Then he realised it was true, why didn't he know that? Dylan raised his eyebrow at him. 'At the same street as we do…' He grins. 'Have fun bro!' He walked to his room.

Zac sat down on one of the stools at the island in the kitchen. Why did he never noticed that they lived in the same street? Was he that dumb? He started texting Vanessa. 'Hey Ness? Did u know we live at the same street:)' He pressed send.

Vanessa heard her cell phone, taking it out of her pocket, reading the message. 'Huh?' Ashley and Olesya were reading over her shoulder. 'Didn't you know, Ness ?' Ashley looked at her. 'They live in that house that was for sale all last year...' Vanessa shook her head. 'Why didn't I know?' She started texting back. 'No I didn't know, hmm, but now I do..' She sent it.

Zac smiled when he read the answer, so he wasn't the only one. 'I'll pick you up tomorrow on my way to school?' Send. Vanessa read. 'Yeah, but do u mind taking my sister to school then?' Zac read it again. 'Yeah sure, I'll pick u and stellar up!'

Vanessa and the other two girls went home. When Vanessa arrived home she walked to her sisters room. 'We're driving with Zac to school tomorrow.' Stella smiles. 'Finally…' She muttered. Vanessa looked at her. 'Huh?' Stella shrugged. 'Nothing sis, it's okay…' Vanessa walked to her room and fell asleep.

Zac walked to his room later that evening, and got into bed, falling asleep after a long while, somehow Vanessa wouldn't leave his mind.
