Lauren had spent the last five days debating with herself whether she should call Zac or not. She decided not to. Keep them coming after you she thought. Her and Vanessa texted regularly though. She was about to go shopping when her cell rang. She looked at the caller ID but didn't recognise it. Her heart began to hammer when she wondered if it would be Zac.

It stopped beating so fast when she realised it was one of Jacob's one night stands.

If they were getting too clingy, he'd give them her number and she'd have to get rid of them, she'd have to tell him to stop. She put the phone down and it rang almost immediately. She stamped her foot in frustration and said in to it,

'Jacob's not here'

'Uh, it wasn't Jacob I was looking for actually'

'Oh, well who do you want and who are you?'

'It's me'

'Uh uh, yeah that's helpful, thanks. Me who?'

'It's Zac'

OMG! Lauren thought, play it cool!

'Zac who?'

Zac frowned, 'Zac Efron'

'Oh yeah, sorry, what's up?'

'Nothing much, you never called me back'

'Yeah, sorry, I took a shower and it rubbed off, can I help you 'cause I'm about to go out'

'Well I was wondering if you wanted to hang out or something'

'Uh, ok. But I'm just about to go food shopping 'cause there's nothing in my flat. You can come if you want, push the trolley'

Zac laughed into the phone, 'sure, give me your address and I'll come pick you up in ten minutes'

'Well I'm in a hotel right now, the Marriott, I live in California, I'm only here for the awards thing'

'I live there too! I'll pick you up, in a bit'.

'Kay, see you'

Wow, wow and triple wow! Lauren thought. Did Zac Efron just ask me to hang out? WOW! I'll have to play it very, very cool. Independent remember.

She waited in the lobby and as soon as Zac walked in she walked past him and said 'you're late'.

He smiled and swivelled round following her. They got in his car and drove to Harvey Nichols.

'You know when you said food shopping, I thought you meant something like a supermarket, not Harvey Nicks' Zac said, keeping his eyes on the road.

'Yeah, well. You gotta pay if you want quality'

Zac looked at her 'I suppose, so, you going straight back to California now?'

'No, the hotel is sending my shopping to the flat and my next door neighbours putting it away. I'm going back tomorrow.'

'I'm going back the day after, come on, we're here'

Lauren shut the door and walked through. Zac checked her out as she walked in front of him.

When she found out Zac was taking her, she got changed quickly.

She was now wearing an off the shoulder, red top with a low back, short white hot pants, red wedges and Chanel sunglasses perched on to of her head.

She had red bangles on one arm and was holding a small red purse in the other.

Zac watched as her ass swayed as she walked but quickly looked away again before she noticed.

They went to the top floor and Lauren began piling stuff into the trolled. Zac recommended a few things but Lauren wrinkled her nose in disgust.

He forced her to buy Twinkies though. She gave in but knew she'd just through them out when she got home.

'Wow, no alcohol, you must be the most sober person I know'

'Still 16, remember. I'm not old like you'

'Hey!'

Lauren just laughed but stopped when she noticed some girls eyeing Zac up. Zac noticed this and decided to play it to his advantage.

He smiled at the girls and walked over. He reached up to the top shelf to get something for them and when he looked around for Lauren she'd disappeared.

Uh-oh, he thought, went too far. Even though he knew it was stupid trying to make her jealous, it had worked and he smiled. Maybe she did have a thing for him.

Lauren had walked off in disgust; he was probably a ladies man, like Jacob. What hurt most though was when she walked off, one of the girls gave her a dirty look and stuck their finger up at her. She carried on walking to the meat section where the butcher's are there cutting it all up.

She gave them her order and stood chatting to the guy serving her. He was quite young, around Zac's age, and was quite cute.

Zac turned the corner to see Lauren chatting to one of the butchers. He handed her the meat and she giggled. Zac watched as he scribbled something down and passed it to her. She smiled at him and carried on walking. She turned her head and winked back at him and Zac suddenly got very angry.

He stood their glaring at the butcher guy but he didn't see him. In the end Zac decided to follow Lauren. He met her at the café; she was just putting her trolley in the 'safe area' and picked up a tray.

'Hey' he said.

She didn't reply. Zac waved a hand in front of her face.

'What Zac?' she said sounding cross.

'I just wondered where you'd gone off to'

'I figured you were a bit busy with those girls so I went and carried on with my shopping. I know when I'm not wanted.'

'Hey, I never said I didn't want you there!'

'Yeah well when you were reaching up one of them stuck their finger up at me and glared at me so I'd say they didn't really want me around wouldn't you?'

'Lauren I'm sorry, I didn't know'

'Yeah well, I guess you were too busy'

'But I want to hang out with you'

'Yeah and I want Prada bag and a little puppy but god thought otherwise! You were too busy to notice me, I understand'

'No, it's not like that!'

'Yeah it is, it's totally like that. It's like when you wouldn't even buy me a drink! It's pathetic. I can make my own way back so I think you'd better go. Thanks for taking me'

'But-'

'I'll see you around Zac' Lauren said forcefully before ordering a cappuccino.

Zac sighed and walked off. He got in his car and drove off, he had a thought and drove back to Lauren's hotel and went straight up to the front desk.

Lauren was sat in the café, sipping her coffee. She fought back he tears, Zac was just the same as all the others. He couldn't keep it in his trousers; he thought fame was his right to have everything he wanted. He was so wrong.

Lauren finished her coffee and paid for her shopping. She got a cab back to the hotel and arranged everything to be sent back and began to pack.

She knew she'd probably never see Zac again. That was the way it was supposed to be, she thought.

On the other side of town, Zac was planning…..
