You think you're so tough right? But you know that when I come around I'm your biggest weakness
--
"What?"
"You are my best friend" he stroked her cheek carefully
"You're drunk" she removed his hand away from her then took a deep breath
He smiled at her and put his cold palm on her rosy cheek, "I love you so much"
"You are totally drunk, Zac" she could hear his words perfectly from the stairs, she wiped her tears, silently hoping that he was not drunk
--
You think you're so tough right?
"Ashley! Wake Zac up" her mom called from the kitchen
She found herself back from the flashback of the previous night. She looked at her surrounding, surprisingly she was watching E! Entertainment Television. Disgusted by the sight of all the dirty celebrity rumors, she turned the TV off and headed out from her neat room. She jogged downstairs in her PJs just to find the famous Troy Bolton still sleeping
She bent down to poke him, like he was a dead body or something. She tried poking his arm, cheek, and forehead, however there was no response. If he wasn't still breathing this moment, everyone would assume he was dead
"Zac… Wake up!" she called, still no response, only a groan
"Zac… It's ten" she tried telling him the time
"Zac, V is calling!" she exclaimed
Surprisingly, a trick that she thought would work didn't. She blinked a few times, still waiting for him to be conscious. She had no choice but to slap him
"Ouch" he rubbed his cheek
"My mom asked me to wake you up" she replied bluntly, not even feeling guilty slapping him, she had the urge of wanting to slap him since last night anyway
"Yeah, thanks for that" he said sarcastically, not referring to waking him up, but for the stinging slap
"Clean up, you're going to get yourself caught by my parents that you were drunk last night" she turned her back on him, not even glancing once again, she left him for the fresh pancakes her mom had prepared for them all
He sighed and scratched his head. He could see obviously that she was still mad at him; even she was hardly trying not to show it too much so that her parents wouldn't find out. Walking up to her bathroom, he tried to recall the event last night.
--
"So… what brings you over here anyway?" the brunette girl that was slightly the older version put another spoonful of pancakes into her mouth
Zac stopped chewing the food when he heard that question, he didn't really know since his friends sent him here. He took his time in swallowing his food, trying to find a reasonable answer, "I'm just tired from the party yesterday I guess" he took the glass of milk
"I'm sure you are" Ashley gave a fake smile before turning to her pancakes
"Really? I didn't see you both come in together. I recall seeing my sister did though" Jennifer eyed them suspiciously
"Jen…" her sister turned to her, "Stop, please. We're trying to eat breakfast in peace here" she gave another fake smile
"Oh, someone's cranky today. You seriously can't wait for that appointment do you?" she smirked
"Now Jennifer, no talking about boys on the table" her mom took their empty plates to the sink
"What appointment?" Zac turned to her
"Well… Only my family and best friend know about it" she emphasized the word best friend to let him know that she was still not approving him as her best friend, "Sure now that you had breakfast, I'm sure you have somewhere to go, right Zac?" she gave him another fake smile
Looking into her eyes, he knew she was not feeling pleasant having him there so he would just leave, "I guess?" he tried
"It was a pleasant having you, Zac" Yeah, but not for her
"What did make you come here anyway? I mean I see Ja-…"
"Jennifer, shut up!" Ashley made her sister stopped before uttering that certain name
"Yeah… I see him, coming here often now, but not Zac. What really did happen? You never came here anymore" she crossed her arms, still wanting to dig in more about her precious sister and the teen heartthrob
Before she could know more about what did happen between them, Ashley pushed Zac's back towards the door to prevent Jennifer from asking risky questions anymore. She really needed to get her sister to zip that mouth, or get her a decent boyfriend. Eventually that she was probably lonely, she always trying to get some dirt inside one's life.
"Zac, she actually missed you!"
Yeah, Ashley just made a mental note to herself to kill her sister later. She kept pushing Zac faster to the door, not really wanting him to spend one more second at her house because he might found out about… him. Ashley had planned on getting even to Zac since she found out about them at Hawaii. As much as she still felt that he was her bets friend, she couldn't help but to get her revenge on him… just to let him know how she felt
"Listen about that…" he still trying to have a conversation before she finally shut the door in front of his face
"What my sister said… It was untrue; I'm perfectly capable of you not being my best friend. Now, I would really appreciate it if you just… leave, Zac" she turned her cold mask on him
He held the door when she was halfway closing it, "No, I'm talking about the 'appointment'. Ashley you're not seriously crossing my name as your best friend, right?" he still didn't believe the fact that she was really mad at him
"I'm not even sure if you are my friend anymore, Zac" she quickly closed the door firmly to block her sight of his shocked, yet disappointed look. She locked and then leaned to the door. She silently cursed herself and hit her head to the white door frame, not aware of the injuries or pain she would get.
"Ashley! Jared's calling" she could hear her sister's voice calling for her from upstairs
She rested her eyes for a few second before glancing to the clock to find the time and replied to her sister, "Coming"
But you know
"And why she isn't here right now?" Vanessa titled her head, still not getting the point of Ashley not coming to the mall with them
"She has…" Lucas gulped; he wasn't exactly the greatest liar on the world, which was why he just blurted it out when he got a girlfriend
"Appointment" Zac finished, thinking about what had happened this morning, he stuffed his hands on his pockets deeper
"Exactly" Lucas smiled as he was free at the obligation to lie
"It's with Miley" Corbin completed, among them, he was the greatest liar of all… That was why he was still could keep up not telling them about his 'secret' girlfriend
"Well, she could actually give it up to come with us. I mean we haven't been together since like forever" she exclaimed, missing the fact that since finishing shooting HSM2, they hadn't exactly spent more time together. Just mainly Zac and Vanessa at Hawaii with occasionally Zac and Ashley in Punk'd, or some places they both went in disguise
"So… Corbin" Monique was trying to keep the topic off the blonde before Lucas could actually spill their perfect plan, "Who's the lucky girl?"
He could see the inquisitive smiles on their faces; however he wasn't going to tell them all who it was yet… He still wanted time to tease them more, "I'm still not telling" his smile grew wider as he burst everyone's bubbles.
"You are no…" before V could continue, she could see the familiar blonde clasping hands together with a guys she seemed to know, but she couldn't make out who it was, she tilted her head once again, "Wait, isn't that Ashley? I thought you said she's with Miley!" she turned to them
Monique, Lucas, and Corbin turned their faces, each pretending like they didn't know anything about that. They didn't know the world was this small; luck was on Zac's side eventually
"Come on, let's catch up with her" she began to run to the pair, her heels harshly clicked against the ceramic as she hardly tried to run with them. She picked the wrong day to wear those expensive, red heels. Her friends, not having any more choice, running to follow her
"Hey Ashley… Jared" Zac raised one of his eyebrows at the brunette guy that was firmly holding her hand; suddenly he developed a sudden rush of anger, or probably a jealous feeling
"Oh, hey Zac… guys" he called
Ashley was not planning this all to happen. She thought that if Zac were not telling them all about his and Vanessa's relationship and not going to admit it, she was going to make a scene like that too, so that he knew how it felt when someone kept a secret away from their best friends. She really liked Jared, and she was not just using him for getting even with him
Since the kiss at the LA show, she had grown to like him more as a friend. He had asked her out, and she accepted, thinking that it would make her get over all the stupid 'Zanessa' rumors. She was planning to tell her friends all but, when she did tell them, Zac was away with Vanessa to Hawaii. She had arranged perfectly that she was going to tell him all about it when he got home. He had brought the bad news about going to Hawaii; she could break a news to him too
Nevertheless, she came with another great plan when they all were pissed at Zac and Vanessa secretly having a relationship… Well that was what they thought because they both were still denying to this second. Ashley was going to keep quiet about her and Jared's relationship. Eventually, watching Jared everywhere with her would make Zac and Vanessa noticed they were going out right? Then when Zac was going to be mad at her for not telling him, she could actually tell how she felt when he lied about 'Zanessa' was unreal
"What are you guys doing here? Together?" he tried to stay calm that actually Ashley lied about the appointment with Miley
"I thought you were with Miley?" asked Mo-Mo, pretending to be shocked too
"Um… Yeah, I was" she read the look Corbin was giving her, "Right, Jared?" she turned to give him a big smile
"Yeah… she was. But then I picked her up and we're headed here to catch a movie" Jared smiled, he knew all about the plan and fortunately, he was absolutely okay helping the girl of his dreams getting her payback for Efron
Vanessa jumped and clapped, "We're going to catch a movie too!" she squealed, "we should go together" she offered
This wasn't all part of the plan; it was just a coincidence that they were stupid enough not to tell each other where they were heading. Finally they all agreed and they all head up to the cinema to watch Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann sailing back to the screen for Pirates of the Caribbean 3. No one complained on that pick, the girls' wouldn't mind watching the hot Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp besides, it was a Disney production
when I come around
"That was so cool! Right?" V started to jump up and down
"No! I can't believe it! 10 years is far too long for Will and Elizabeth!" Mo replied back
They all just smiled; Zac would constantly glance to the sight of Jared and Ashley. Their hands were still colliding together since they met this afternoon. Ashley didn't say anything about them together and he knew that she wasn't going to tell him anytime soon since she had crossed his name from her 'best friend list'. Now that they were all sitting at Starbucks, the blonde came up with an idea
"I want to get home now… I'm not feeling like mall anymore" she pretended to be bored
"Well… let's go home. You all can enjoy the rest of the day" Jared smiled, standing up from the chair
Ashley took her purse and her cup of Vanilla Latte on her hand, she could see from Zac's eyes that he was starting to develop some kind of despise feeling to Jared. Not exactly what she was aiming for the mission, but it was close enough to getting him exploding
"No, I'll take her home" he pulled his keys out from his pocket
"I think I'm capable taking her home, Zac" Jared patted Zac's shoulder
She raised one eyebrow. She didn't want Jared and Zac having a feud, all she wanted was Zac to realize that she wasn't happy that he kept secrets from his friends. Corbin just looked really interested about Zac and Jared's 'conversation', meanwhile Lucas, Monique and V was just seemed frightened if they will actually kill each other, who knows what things could lead to?
"Well you took her here, now I can take her home" he stated, shoving Jared's hand off his shoulder
"I took her here, I took her home" Jared pointed to the blonde beside her, already letting go of Ashley's hand
"Oh, I think I have the right to take my best friend home, Mulliro" he called him by his last name
"Stop it! First, I want both of you to shut up. Second, you are not my best friend" she pointed to Zac, "And lastly, I'm going back home alone" she declared, before leaving the Starbuck's table and heading out the mall
Zac threw Jared a dirty look before he started to run for the blonde. As her hair bounced with each step and click her pumps made, he could see that he could still catch up with the blonde, and possibly get an acceptance for his apology he was going to make to her later. First, he needed to be in some place private with her.
"He sure love his best friend" his 'girlfriend' stated before putting the green straw between her lips
"I hope that's not like those kind of Romeo and Juliet love" Jared sat back to his chair, putting a hand below his chin
"Are you seriously together with her? Are you like jealous or something?" V asked once again
Jared watched as the afro shook his head, Corbin will know when exactly Ashley wanted to tell Zac about it. But now, telling V was not an option they didn't want to have a high risk of V telling Zac about their plan
"No" he shook his head
"What about the kiss then? I saw a picture of you both kissing off stage at the LA show" she smirked, of course feeling happy for her best friend
"Aren't you like going out with Zac, V?" Lucas raised his eyebrow, at this point he looked absolutely like Ryan
"Well, likewise. You were kissing him, but you're not going out with him. We're not coming clean until you both do" Jared smirked, crossing his arms
"We're not dating. It's just some sort of publicity about we're going out on and off. There's no on and off relationship, we're just friends" she declared happily, those words that came out from her mouth didn't seem like lies to all of them… Even V may be an actress; they can tell that she was not lying now
Then what are they going to do now? Keep the plan? Tell Ashley about it? It would be fun to play some more tricks on the Efron longer though
I'm your biggest
Ashley crossed her arms as she threw the guy that had gladly ask… well, forced her to go home with him; a hateful glare. When she turned around with another quick glare and kept her eyes back to the view of the window, suddenly the car stopped, making a few cars behind them shouted some nasty things or honked.
"ZAC!" she exclaimed, unbuckling the safety belt, "What are you trying to do!? Kill me?" she breathed heavily, still having that shock effect of his actions
"God, YES if I could!" he yelled in frustration, he regretted keeping his voice loud as soon as he saw her expression
That expression of hers didn't stay long until she turned her cold mask once again, "Oh, kill me now! Why? So you can stay happily with that little girlfriend of yours? Go ahead; I'm not protesting anything against you both! I know I should've went with Jared" again, anger taken the best of her, she didn't plan this argument with him, but it seemed like he was always the one who wanted to pick a fight
"Vanessa has nothing to do with this!" he slammed his fist on the driving wheel
"See? You admitted there, she is your girlfriend!" she snapped again, not aware of the anger he had there
"FINE!" he threw his arms, frustrated by her, "She is my girlfriend! And what are you going to do now, Ash?"
"Leave!" she declared, taking her purse from his car and got out
She slammed the door close, leaving Zac there inside his car. He bumped his head on the wheel, not even caring what that could cause him. When he finally lifted his head up, he could see that the sight of the beauty blonde was now gone. He made things more complicated than before now, but she was the one that didn't want to listen that he was telling the truth. So they had their share
She took a glance back from the taxi. A tear slipped from her eyes as she wiped it quickly. Unfortunately the taxi driver didn't miss that
"Are you okay, Miss?" he asked with concern, glancing to her by the mirror every now and then
She shook her head silently as fresh tears flew freely when she glanced back at the familiar car. She let out a sob. She put her hand over her eyes due that her tears kept flowing every now and then while her mind kept focusing on that guy
weakness
