A/N: This part is around after the cove ops test in the town square. I'm moving the ball after a couple of weeks.
I want to dedicate this chapter to 4everandalwaysme (for letting me beta her story, clique plus Gallagher equals trouble, PLEASE CHECK HER OTHER STORIES OUT) spanishgallaghergirl, stephaniek pinkgallaghergirl619, lizluvsdoggies, maryclumsykatherine and of course to all my other readers and reviewers out there!
If you see the movie choice somewhere through this story, those are my top two favorite Disney princesses! HAPPY HUNTING/READING!
Days passed, and Zach hadn't talked to me since after the Cove Ops quiz in town.
What if it's because of josh? What if we had the same dream that night before the C&A test? I thought to myself, at this point I was going crazy, I didn't know what to think. I would have settled on a reason, any reason.
We were in P&E and I wasn't concentrating, which is a bad thing when you have Bex as a partner. My eyes drifted to Zach who was sparring with Grant. Bex had a mischievous glint in her eye. Before I could react, she twisted my arm and sent me flying to the mats, tumbling right into Zach.
"I knew you were falling for me, Gallagher girl, but I didn't know it was going to be like this" Zach said with a smirk, when does this guy never smirk?
"In your dreams, Zach" I said, lifting myself off of him.
"Oh, tell me something I don't know"
"Wait, what?"
"Nothing, Gallagher girl" he said and waved his hand as he walked away, signaling that I wasn't getting anything out of him.
It was a Friday night, which only meant one thing: Movie marathon. Eva and Courtney were in front of the big flat screen TV deciding on what movie to watch.
"Since the Bourne related incident last week, Headmistress Morgan told us not to have a Bourne movie marathon this week" Courtney said, shaking her head as she recalled the incident, let's just say spy girls shouldn't watch this movie and get overly obsessed that they start treating M&Ms like ammo and throw it at each other around school. Especially when you have a friend named Liz who actually made a prototype of mini M&M grenades. And they sort of got mixed together.
"What should we watch? Cinderella or little mermaid?" Eva asked us
"LITTLE MERMAID" everyone screamed in unison, filling the sophomore common room with giggles. Sometimes girls just need their fill of the old Disney movies.
"Alrighty then, little mermaid it is" Courtney said as she placed the DVD into the player
"What about us?" a voice said. Every head turned to the door, each hand had grabbed at the nearest object they could use to kill.
"What are you gunna do? Kill us with your bunny slippers?" Grant joked
"Don't think that that isn't possible" Bex said her eyes still directed fiercely at the three boys.
"Lighten up, girls! We're just here to watch a movie like the rest of you" Zach said, grinning. His shirt fit him well, showing the nice shape of his body and arms. I think I heard a few girls swoon. Blech.
"As the headmistress told us to do 'we must forge bonds of friendship that we can carry throughout our lives'" Jonas said, doing his best impersonation of my mom, but not in a mocking way. More of an 'I have a photographic memory, I dare you to test me' way. Some girls giggled. I could've sworn I saw Liz blush softly, but as soon as she saw me looking at her, her face quickly turned blank.
"Stay, if you must, but keep your hands to yourself, Blackthorne boys" I glowered at them. I gave a satisfied grin as I saw a wave of fear come over them and wash out as soon as it came. This was going to be interesting.
Zach sat next to my sleeping bag; all three boys had a bean bag chair in tow. Jonas sat next to Liz, while Grant sat between Bex and Kim. Macey was in our suite, studying for an encryption test. Eva smiled sweetly at the boys and started the movie.
As the movie started some girls' eyes were locked at the screen. Every small movement or squeak, they would shush you. We were finally in the part where Eric saw Ariel as a human on the beach.
"That's how I feel when I talk to you" Zach whispered leaning closer to my ear.
"What?" I said with an eyebrow raised.
"Like I can't speak"
"Ughhh, shut up, Zach. I'm trying to watch"
"I'm watching something better" Zach said, his gaze never leaving my face. Stalker, I thought, but the girl inside me blushed slightly.
The movie continued and at one point of time Zach placed his arm around my shoulders without my knowledge. I may have accidentally paralyzed it for a few minutes with a single movement, making it stay on my shoulders longer than necessary. Hey, it's not as if I wanted it to stay longer, was what I told myself as Bex gave me the thumbs up. The movie ended and most of us were in tears.
"Oh my gosh, I never get tired of this movie" Anna muttered, hugging her pillow like there was no tomorrow
"I know! I hope that one day I'll have a love story as cute as theirs" Mick said
"If he ignores the fact that you're a spy… or a mermaid in this case" Tina joked as she folded up her sleeping bag and headed to her room.
As everyone said goodnight, I hadn't realized that Zach and I were the only ones left in the common room.
"That was a terrible movie" Zach said, plopping his feet on a coffee table
"What are you talking about? The Little Mermaid is a classic" I said, sitting next to him and punching his feet off the table
"Classic? If you want to watch something classic I suggest you watch Romeo and Juliet, now that's a classic"
"And I suppose you know all about Shakespeare and his work?"
"I'm just saying, those stories don't happen in real life. They were just made so you could see how dull your life is in comparison"
"Oh, and our lives are dull?"
"You know what I mean, normal people, civilians. They keep on expecting for something like that but it'll never happen"
"That's why they're called dreams. It's something that they could hope for, but deep down they know it'll never be. It's like you've never had a dream before."
"So what's the point of these movies? Just so they could get money and ruin people's lives by making them expect too much?"
"For goodness sake's, Zach, you sound like a bitter old man"
"I'm just being realistic. The only thing that movie taught me is that women look for guys with money, good looks and status."
"And guys are too stupid to see that what they're looking for is right in front of them"
"Not the guys I know"
"Really, like who?"
"Like me" he mumbled. His hand tucked stray strands of hair behind my ear. He looked at me, he looked deep inside me. His expression changed -shocked- at what he saw, like cold water thrown to his face. His hand slid to mine and pulled away quickly. He stood up and left, without another word.
