Chapter 10
Andrea's pov

I woke up with my head pounding and all that was in my mind right now was Tylenol.

I tried to get up from my bed and realised that there was someone's hand around my waist stopping me from sitting up straight.

Please God, please tell me that I did not do what I think I might be just done last night.

Well my clothes are still on so that's that's good sign.

I turned my head around and shifted my gaze on the person who was laying beside me which was the one and only Zach Cowen.

I swear this boy always has a way to get on my nerves.

I grabbed a pillow from my bed and whacked it on him causing him to jolt.

"What the F*ck did you do that for?" He asks running his head.

On hearing the scream Jake came running into my room.

"Is there a robber, what happened?" Jake says as he rushed into the room with a baseball bat.

Ha looked over to us and began to laugh.

"Oh, Classic." Jake laughs as he took a picture of us and began to laugh hysterically.

Jake left the room and I got from the bed and pulled Zach up too.

"Get out!" I tell him, pointing at the window.

"What did I do now?" He asks rubbing his eyes.

"You stayed in my bed, that's what, when I was drunk too." I inform him of his wrong doings.

"You're the one who told me to stay you dimwit." He tell me.

"No I didn't, you arsehole." I spit back.

"Yes you did, Tomboy." He fires back.

"I would never in a billion years tell you to stay with me, let alone sleep in my bed. Not even if zombies had taken over the world and we were the only two people left in the planet" I growl at him out of frustration, pointing towards the window.

He opened the window, indicating that I had won the conversation and left.

**********

I took my skateboard to school today instead of riding with Zach.

Things were too awkward between us and I didn't want to see him, so I let Joanna know that I wouldn't be riding with him and left five minutes early so I wouldn't have to face him before school.

I entered the seniors lounge and saw Mia talking to Ethan and some other students in our year.

"Hey Andy, where's Zach?" Mia greets me with a devlish smile.

"Yeah, Where is Zach? Shouldn't he be here right now with you?" He asks.

"Wait, don't you two ride together?" Ethan asks cluelessly.

I slouched back on the couch ready to tell them about the awkward situation I had encountered with him this morning.

"I am dying with embarrassment. After last night, I was a bit drunk and I ended up sharing a bed with Zach for the night." I tell her.

"OMG, please tell me you had sex." She squeales.

"NO, eww, don't wanna go around catching an STD." I erase the dirty thoughts from her mind.

"So, what's wrong then?" She asks.

To be sure, I don't think anything was wrong, except from the fact that apart from Mia, my family members and my ex boyfriend, I haven't shared a bed with anyone else.

"Nothing really, I think." I say with uncertainty.

From the corner of my eye I saw Zach heading towards our direction so I attempt to disappear but unfortunately I'm not a magician.

"Hey Andrea, how come you didn't ride with me to school? I was completely heartbroken." He says mockingly placing his hand over his heart.

"Oh, Shut up." I say playfully and I whack his arm not so playfully.

The bell had rang motioning all the students to make their way to registration.

"See ya later, Andrea." He winks at me.

"In a while, rubbish pile." I try to rhyme, but it wasn't as good as Zach's.

"Is that the best you got?" He laughs.

"Kinda." I shrug and we both make our way to class.

**********

Classes had flew by and there was only one period left.

I was in D&T when the speakers went off indicating we had an announcement.

"Can Andrea Parks and Zach Cowen both make their way to the Headmaster's office. That's Andrea Parks and Zach Cowen. Thank You."

Immediately everyone's heads turns towards me and the whispering began.

"What do you think she did?"

"Maybe she got caught from the party"

"I think she might get expelled"

These were all the phrases I heard as I made my way out of class.

As I walked towards the headmaster's office, I began to think, why would Zach and I both get called?

As I entered the owaoting room, Zach was already seated on one of the couches in the waiting room.

"Welcome Andrea, take a seat." Dean Briggs said motioning towards the seat next to Zach.

"Its Andy." I reply bluntly, taking a seat.

"I bet you're wondering why I've called the pair of you here?" He questions.

"No shit Sherlock."I mutter under my breath, not loud enough for Dean Briggs to hear.

"Well, you guys are the top two students in science, so I have chosen the both of you to run science camp this year." He replies enthusiastically waiting for a reaction.

"You have got to be kidding me." I mutter.

"We'd love to it Dean Briggs, wouldn't we Andrea?" Zach nudges my side and shut me up.

"Perfect." I gritt through my teeth.

As we left the room, I 'accidentally' hit my skateboard in Zach's crotch, causing him to hiss in pain.

"Oops, sorry." I say and I skate away.

***********

It's currently 2pm and it's the last period until I can go home and indulge in some heavenly food.

That was until Zach had walked into the classroom causing everyone's head to turn in his direction.

He walked up to the teacher and whispered something.

"Andy, you're excused from this period. You can leave." The teacher said and I began to head out with Zach.

"I would say thank you for getting me out of lesson but I know there's a catch, seeing as you have that devilish smile plastered on your face." I tell him waiting to hear his answer.

"Dean Briggs is giving us an extra hour to set everything up for science camp." He replies.

"Wait, it's today? I thought it would be in a month or so." I ask.

"Nope, so it looks like we've got a lot of work to do." He says as he begins to get all the things we need.

"Can we just not do it?" I ask hoping he would say yes.

"Everyone around here says I'm the bad one, have they seen you." He says and laughs.

I shrug it off and start helping so he wouldn't notice.

"Are you going to stand there all day or help me?" I ask waving my hand in his face bringing him back to planet earth.

"Oh, yeah." He says and quickly rushes over to help me move the tables.

After a few hours we were all ready and set to go.

It was 5:30pm and the children were going to start arriving any minute soon.

"Guys, this is fantastic work." Dean Briggs says before he went to welcome in the children.

After a few minutes of getting the children seated and reassuring the parents that nothing would happen to their children, the science camp had started.

There were different stations and at each station there was an activity, you had to do.

Myself was at one station, Zach was at one station, and we had got Mia and Ethan to help out too.

Apart from us there were a few other students from our year like Savannah and Kylie.

Halfway through, when I was teaching the children about alkali metals, Dean Briggs had come over to me and had asked me to go join Zach's station as he had another student wanting to help out.

I nodded my head and had walked over to Zach's station where he was teaching them about the solar system.

I watched him from afar hoping he wouldn't see me as I knew he would hold this against me for the rest of my life.

I examined him and saw how amazing he was with kids.

That is so not fair, how does he have all these qualities but still uphold his reputation as a so called 'Bad Boy'.

If someone saw me wearing a dress, they would probably think that I'm a 'girly girl'.

Just because I may want to wear a dress, which I would never doesn't mean that I'm a 'girly girl'.

Anyways, enough talking about stereotyping.

I walked over to his station and nudged him from the side making space for myself.

"And that kids is how the earth came into existence." He tells them before they head to the next station.

"Miss me already?" He asks with a kissy face.

"Nope, just wanted to see how badly you're doing" I lie as I put my hand over his mouth.

He licked my hand and I shrieked.

I instantly began wiping it on him and tried to get his saliva off of my hand making him laugh.

Throughout all this we hadn't noticed that the next set of children were already here, watching us fight in amusement.

"Are you two, like married." The eight year old girl asks.

"Never in a million years." I say making it clear.

"Oh, I'm truly hurt." Zach acts upset and places his hand over his heart.

I nudge him again however this time to shut him up.

We continued the camp until all the children had gone.

"That was fun, you have to admit that." He says causing me to crack a smile.

"Wait, did I just see that? Did Andrea Willow Parks really just smile." He asks in amusement.

"Oh shut up." I say as I slap him playfully.

"Wait... How do you know my full name?" I ask.

"Ummmmmm..." Zach stutters.

"You better run, Zach Cowen." I tell him before chasing after him.

**********

After I nearly castrated him for calling me by my full name, we finally got home.

"For that question of yours, I did have fun." I say.

It was silent, but it wasn't an awkward one.

"Night Zach." I say as I began to make my way to my front door.

"Wait, no hug?" He tries to act hurt.

"Aww. Does Zach want a huggy wuggy?" I tease him.

"At least I'm only asking for a hug. You were the one who was practically all over me last night. Trying to kiss me and all." He mocks.

"Wait. We kissed?"

"Nope. You tried to seduce me and I, being the gentleman didn't give into temptation." He says smugly.

"Well thank you. I really appreciate it." I hug him.

"You know if you really wanted to kiss me, I wouldn't stop you." He pickers his lips. "Especially since I'm hot an all."

"Who says you're hot?" I challenge him.

"If I recall correctly, you do."

"Wait I don't remeber this." I try to remember but his hands on my waist were distracting me.

"Of course you wouldn't. You were under an anaesthetic." He laughs and puckers his lips once again.

"Don't tel me I did anything else stupid?"

"So how about that kiss?" He ignores my question.

I lean in closer to kiss his cheek but he immediately whips his head to the side so that his lips meet mine instead.

"Dude, what the fuck?" I try to sound angry but all I did was laugh.

"You knew you liked that." I did agree with him but I wasn't going to boost his ego.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." I wink at him before retracing my steps back to my house.
