Disclaimer: I don't own School of Rock or anything associated with it. The song "Sunday Morning" belongs to Maroon 5. I don't own Clay Aiken either, haha.

Thanks sooooo much to all the reviewers!!

So here's Chapter 5:

Marta woke up late the next morning. She loved Saturdays, after five days of getting up early, it was really nice to sleep in. She walked downstairs with a bowl of cereal and logged onto AIM.

gobletofrock00: Hey, what's up?

Heartofglass05: Not too much, just got up, lol

gobletofrock00: WHAT? it's 1:30!

gobletofrock00: You're going to sleep away your lifetime, lol

She clicked on his profile.

Sunday morning rain is fallin
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you

That lady's all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave


Her heart skipped a beat. Everyone on AIM knows that if you put a song in your profile, it usually means that you're trying to express how you feel. He likes someone... she thought to herself.

She grabbed the phone and called Katie. "Katie, have you seen Zack's profile lately?"

"Huh?" she said.

"Okay I'll take that as a no."

"Why? What does it say?"

"It has lyrics to a song..."Sunday Morning" by Maroon 5. Katie, I think he likes someone!"

"Hang on, I'll get on AIM."

Marta hung on the phone. Oh God, I really hope he likes Katie...

rockergirl22: I think you're right, he likes someone

rockergirl22: look at it now

Marta clicked on Zack's profile again. The song was still there, but he had added something at the bottom.

Wish you felt the same...

Woah, Marta thought.

rockergirl22: I think I might say something to him, like kinda drop a hint that I like him

Heartofglass05: really? haha I'm so proud of you Katie!

rockergirl22: :-D

"MARTA!" Marta's mother called. "We have to go now!"

Heartofglass05: I gtg, I'll ttyl

rockergirl22: okay, later

Marta's grandmother was in the hospital. Nothing serious, she just had a minor surgery and had to stay in the hospital for a few days. Marta, her mom, and brother went to visit her every day. After they had spent an hour or so there, they started driving back home. Marta popped her Clay Aiken cd into her portable cd player and listened to it the whole way home.

When they got home, there was a message on the answering machine.

"Hey Mar, it's Katie, give me a call when you get home." She sounded kind of upset. Oh no, Marta thought. I hope this isn't what I think it is...

Marta dialed Katie's number and prayed that this wasn't about Zack, but she knew it was.

"Hello?" Katie said on the other end.

"Hey, it's me." said Marta.

"Mar...I told him."

"I thought you were just going to drop a hint!" Marta exclaimed.

"Yea, if you call, 'Hey, I saw your profile, and I just wanted to tell you that I really like you' a hint."

"Oh..." Marta said quietly. "...What did he say?"

"Well...he said something like, 'That's so flattering, but you're a really good friend and I treasure that and I don't want to ruin the friendship' and blah, blah, blah, you know how guys are.

"Oh God.." Marta said, "I'm so sorry Katie."

Katie sighed. "I know, I really like him. Who do you think it is that he likes?"

"No clue." Marta said and thought. "I bet we could find out though, we ALWAYS do."

"Haha yea, we always find a way," said Katie, feeling a bit better. "I have to go, I'll talk to you later, okay?"

"All right, call me later or somethin," said Marta.

"Okay, later."

Marta hung up. She suddenly felt really angry. She went outside to jump on her trampoline. She did that a lot to get her anger out. I can't believe he doesn't like her! She started jumping harder, higher. Her emotions were getting stronger. She stopped suddenly and laid down and looked up at the sky. No, it wasn't anger that she was feeling...it was something else...something she couldn't put her finger on. She closed her eyes for a few minutes. She opened them suddenly and sat up. "Oh no..." she whispered.

I like Zack...

(A/N): Surprised? Haha probably not, I made it pretty obvious in the previous chapters. Oh well, I hope you still like the story. I'll update ASAP. Please give me a review!
