Thanks so much again to all my reviewers!brbr

Chapter 4:brbr

Chorus concerts always made Marta a little nervous. Not about the singing, but she was always just worried about looking stupid on stage, especially to Leonard. Not that it mattered anyway, no one really paid attention. Half of the students slept through it while the other half just sat there and slowly clapped out of sheer politeness at the end of each song. The evening concert went basically the same, although the parents had the decency to stay awake. Oh well. Marta was just glad it was over.brbr

"Hey, wait up!" Marta heard a voice call from behind her. it was the next day right before 8th period and she was walking down the hall toward science.brbr

It was Katie. "Here," she said, "I wanted to give this to you before you go to Science, Zack is in your class, right?"brbr

"Yea he is," said Marta. "Katie...what the heck is this?"brbr

"It's a list of things I want you to find out about him. I know you guys talk a lot...and it's not like you haven't done this before so..."brbr

Marta looked at her. "You're kidding me, right?"brbr

"No, I'm totally serious."brbr

"Oh Katie, c'mon, we went through this same thing with Freddy and..."brbr

"And it worked!" Katie said. "Go on, ask me something about him."brbr

Marta rolled her eyes. "Fine, I'll see what I can do."brbr

"Thanks, Mar, you're the best!"brbr

Marta started back down the hall toward the Science room. Zack seemed pretty smart, so this would be a challenge. See, when Katie liked Freddy, anything she wanted to know, she told Marta and Marta would find a way to find it out without directly asking him and without making it too obvious. Freddy's pretty dense, so it wasn't that hard to do.brbr

Over the next few days, Marta found out many things about Zack. He was single, he loved all of the arts; not just music, he was very intelligent; and funny, and he loved outdoor activities. He was sick of all the chorus people too, haha. She was doing this for Katie, but she didn't mind at all, she actually kind of liked talking to Zack.brbr

It's Friday afternoon, 8th period. Last period of the day, then the weekend. Around this time each week, Marta is usually staring at the clock, waiting and waiting for the bell to ring. But today, the period seemed to fly by, and when the bell rang, she actually found herself frowning. Marta liked school at the end of the year, the grades were in, the work was done, everyone was excited for summer, and the teachers just basically let you talk the whole class.brbr

Just like the last few days, she had talked to Zack most of the period.brbr

"So, you got any plans tonight?" Zack asked.brbr

"Yea, Katie, Michelle, Eleni, and I are going to see Finding Nemo tonight!" Marta replied.brbr

Zack laughed. "Oh come on, Finding Nemo???" he said, still laughing.brbr

Marta started laughing too, "What?" she asked. "We think it looks cute!"brbr

He rolled his eyes and smiled. "I'm going to see The Matrix: Reloaded with my friend tonight."brbr

"My brother is like OBSESSED with those movies, but I've never even seen the first one," Marta said.brbr

"Ah, they're great. You've gotta watch one sometime, you guys should meet us there and see it with us!"brbr

"Haha, thanks for the offer, but I don't think Eleni and Michelle would go for that, definitely not their kind of movie."brbr

Zack looked slightly disappointed. "Oh well," he said. "Have fun at Finding Nemo," he burst out laughing again.brbr

"Oh, I'll make sure I do," she rolled her eyes and smiled.brbr

On the way out of school, Marta passed Leonard in the hall. Her eyes lit up and she smiled at him. He didn't seem to see her though. But for some reason, she wasn't that disappointed, she was in a really good mood that day. She couldn't wait to go out tonight with her friends. They always had the best times, especially at the movies.brbr

brbr

"Geeze, it's packed!" said Eleni, when they got to the movies later that night.brbr

"What do you expect, it's Friday night!" Katie said.brbr

After they had gotten their tickets, and snacks (of course!), they walked into the cinema and found seats. They had an awesome time. The movie iwas/i very cute, and they talked and laughed all through it, even though some of the people around them gave mean looks. They didn't care, if they were having fun, they never let anyone stop them.brbr

brbr

After it was over, the four girls walked out of the theater and into the main room. It was still pretty crowded.brbr

"Hey!" Katie said suddenly. "I just remembered something. Today in Reading & Writing Zack told me he was going to be here seeing the Matrix or something."brbr

"Yea, he told me too, in Science," said Marta.brbr

"Hang on, I'm gonna go ask what time it's over," Katie said, and hurried to the front desk.brbr

She came back a few seconds later. "Twenty minutes," she said, "we're going to have to stall..."brbr

"Katie, your mom is already here, I don't think we could stall for twenty minutes. I mean, we're good, but we're not that good," said Michelle.brbr

They all laughed. "Yea, you're right," said Katie. "We better just go."brbr
