After this chapter, this story is going on hiatus for a bit. when my other story is done, i will return to this one.

this whole chapter is from Zach's point of veiw.

Tina walked out of the principal's office, crying.

"She- she sw- swore at m- me" she sobbed. I wrapped my arm round her. The teachers smiled sympathetically at us. Most of the Gallagher staff had quit once the schools merged so us Blackthornes always got away with everything.

Once we were out of the way, Tina dried her eyes and explained that Cammie is going to be taken out of the school for ridiculous behaviour towards other students. Cammie is such a bitch and I will be glad when I don't have to see her every day.

Then we passed through the crowds of ex-Blackthorne students. She then turned to me and said, "They're so horrible, those Gallaghers are, don't you think, Zachy?" she leaned on my shoulder, kissed my cheek and lifted one foot in the air. I wrapped my arm around her.

Then I went to confront Jimmy about his bitchy slut.

As I walked up the stairs, I saw something beautiful. An angel was walking down the stairs towards me. Her eyes were hidden beneath glasses, but I knew they would be beautiful. Her honey blonde hair was tied back but I knew it was beautiful.

"Did my heart love till now" I quoted Shakespeare under my breath. "Forswear it sight, for I ne'er saw true beauty, until this night."

Then my angel tripped and fell, and I caught her in my arms. I steadied her.

"Are you alright?" I asked. She started stuttering and blushing.

"Hey, relax" I reassured her. "What's your name?"

She pushed her glasses up her nose and replied, "E- em- emi- mil- ily-y"

"Emily. A beautiful name for a beautiful girl."

"You- you're fl- flirting with m- Me." she stated. "Wh- what ab- about Tina?"

"Aww, c'mon, someone needs to tell you the truth. So, do you need help? You know, to wherever you're going?"

"N- No. I'll manage."

"Okay then"

She continued but had only taken one step when her ankle buckled again and she fell back in my arms.

"Oh, looks like someone does need help," I chuckled. She smiled and allowed me to help her over to where that Gallagher nerd, Liz, was.

"So ... are you a Gallagher girl or a Blackthorne babe?"

"Neither. We just moved here in the summer."

I smiled. I could not fall in love with a Gallagher girl. That would be disastrous. I left her and walked over to Jonas and began chatting to him and his new girlfriend, Anna. They were a cute couple.

Then, Tina stormed up. Her mascara was running down her cheeks. What happened?

"What's up, babe?" I reached out to dry her tears

"DONT YOU DARE 'BABE' ME EVER AGAIN, YOU CHEATER!" she slapped my arm away.

One: ouch! And two: how did I cheat?

"Why would I cheat on you, babe? You're all I want"

"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" she stormed off. Then turned round and stalked back over "AND WE'RE THROUGH!" then she left again.

I stood there, dumbfounded. What just happened?

"Your girlfriend accused you of cheating and dumped you. Personally, I think you're better off without."

"Okaay, who said that?" I asked.

"Oops! d-did I say th-that aloud? Oh no!"

I turned around to see Emily running with Liz towards the loos. I followed and waited outside the boys (which are opposite).

Then, the bell went and Liz came out...

With Bex, Cammie, Eva and no Emily.

What the hell?

So I decided I would go get Tina back.

"Who do you think I cheated with?"

"That blonde geek" Tina sniffed.

Oh. She saw us together. Not exactly good.

"Look, I was just helping her. We never kissed, or anything."

"Oh but she was dying to. If she had kissed you, I know you would have kissed her back. So anyway, why were you waiting outside the loos, then?"

"I wanted to talk to you."

"NO YOU DIDN'T! YOU'RE JUST LIKE ANY OTHER GUY, WANTING TO GET ANY GIRL YOU MIGHT HAVE CHANCE WITH! YOU COULDN'T GET HER SO YOU DECIDED I WAS THE NEXT BEST THING! I HATE YOU!"

She stormed out, causing everyone to stare. Her friends gave me a look of disgust then, simultaneously, stood up and followed.

And Zachary Goode messes up, again!

Who is the real emily?

Will Cammie be expelled?

Will Tina forgive Zach?

Who knows?

Bye-bye for a bit
