Maya's POV

I stared at Zig for what seemed like hours. My facial expression was showing fear, anger and hope. After all of these months of hanging out and hating Tori because she was dating Zig, he liked me.

First off, how could he like me? I'm the school's number one nerd. He's the 'man whore' of our grade.

This isn't good.

But this is everything that I want.

I couldn't find words to speak. Just breathing and looking into Zig's eyes

"Maya? Are you alright?" He asked. He was so concerned about me. It was kind of cute.

"Do what?" I said. Confused as for what he had just said.

"Maya. I'm gonna go, so you can have time to digest all of what I just told you."

"Don't!" I yelled as I grabbed his arm.

"What?"

I stood up and kissed him. It was a gentle, lingering touch of our lips. Zig pulled away.

"Maya..." he started to say. Once again that smile was back.

"You lied to me didn't you?" I asked. I'm so upset right now. I ran out of the living room into my room. I grabbed the closest CD. The late and great Whitney Houston. I pulled the dial for volume all the way up.

Zig's POV

"Maya!" I yelled over the music while knocking on her door. "Maya please open the door!"

"She's not going to." Katie said.

"What do you mean?"

"She's in her disappointed mood. She buys a CD of an artist that just died and keeps it by the door. Whenever she gets upset or angry. Try singing. It might work." Katie vanished into her room again.

There was finally a break in all of the music. I can hear her crying. Whitney Houston...a song by Whitney Houston.

"If I should stay. I would only be in your way." I started singing.

"Zig?" she finally said.

"So I'll go, but I know I'll think of you ev'ry step of the way."

She finally opened the door.

"I never lied to you, love." I said while trying to hug her.

"I realize that now." She said, accepting my hug.
