Ʈȯ Ϣᴀʃƙ Ǻʃσᴎᴈ? Type: Drama/Romance/1x1With GracefulVampireGirl & BunnyLovesChoo Plot:Four months ago, a young woman was walking home from work. The building in which she worked was only a few blocks away from the apartment that she lived in and the career that she had was as a Journalist for a magazine. She'd been working late that day, trying to finish an article she was working on so it could go into the next issue of the magazine which was to be printed tomorrow. By the time that she had finished it, she was a little tired and the clock on the wall read 11:30 p.m. She was the last one in the building to leave that night except for a few of the janitors that cleaned the building of course. The young woman grabbed her bag and shrugged into her jacket, pulling it close to herself as she started walking down the streets, it being a fairly cold night as small flakes of snow began to fall from the dark sky. She heard heavy footsteps coming from behind her, but they weren't walking, the person behind her was running. She turned around to see who was behind her right as a pretty muscular man roughly clamped a hand over her mouth and dragged her into the nearest alley. She tried to scream and shout for help, struggled to get away, anything, but the man was much more stronger then she was. The man pinned her to the ground once they were in the alley and raped her. After he'd finished, he had knocked her out and left her there in the alley. When she woke up, it was several hours later and a fine layer of snow covered her completely. She slowly got up, shivering and crying as she ran to the police station a few blocks down and pounded on the door till someone inside answered at that late hour. She told the policemen her story and gave them as best a desciption of the man as she could but begged the men to keep this out of the papers and off the news. They agreed and kept it as confidentail. A month and a half later, the woman was having a hard time getting over the whole expierence and the only person she had told that she'd gotten raped was her father. Although, a new problem had arisen; she feared that she might be pregnant. The young woman got a pregnancy test and broke down in tears and a little bit of fear when she found that it was positive. Again, the only person that she told about this was her father, no one else. Not even her best friend, she just couldn't bring herself to do it. Three more months have past and she's traded out her often form fitting shirts for ones that are a little more loose fitting to hide the small bump on her stomach that was starting to grow. She know she can't hide it forever, but she wish that she could.
Now we're to this young womans best friend. He'd been friends with her since they were in Middle School together and had always gone out and done fun things and it didn't even stop when they'd graduated High School. He'd always harboured secret feelings for her, but had never thought to voice them to her, afraid that it would ruin their friendship that they had with each other. Still, he can't fight his feelings that he has for her no matter how hard he seems to try. Over the last four months, he's noticed that she doesn't seem to have that old spark of life to her anymore. She doesn't seem to joke around and tease him like she used to, it takes more for her to laugh, and her eyes always seem to hold a tinge of sadness to them. Whenever he asks her what is wrong, she always says she's fine even though he knows she's clearly not. He's noticed that her father comes and visits her almost every other day even when he lives a good two hours away, and the young man has noticed that she always makes excuses for when he invites her to do something with him like watch a movie or something late at night. He knows something is wrong he just doesn't know what it is, but he's taken to spending more time with her lately to try and help.

[b]Image:[/b][/color][/size] [img][/img]
Our Young Lady Username: GracefulVampireGirl Name: Melanie Jane Cross Nickname: Mel Age: 20 Height: 5'6" Occupation: Journalist
Personality: Melanie has a very playful/joking/sarcastic type of attitude towards most people, but she always does in a harmless manner. Her temper isn't a very easy thing to trigger, but when it is triggered, it can be a pretty powerful little thing. For the most part, Mel is a fairly nice person and very easy going. Although, she hasn't quite been her normal happy self lately, something is always worrying her.
Bio: Melanie grew up in a town about two hours away from where she currently lives in a small house at the edge of town. Her mother had died of cancer when Mel was only six years old and Melanie remembers very little of her mother. Her father turned to alcohol to help him cope with the pain of losing his wife and several times he came close to death from doing something stupid while he was drunk. Slowly realizing that he needed to stop drinking to take care of the daughter he had before he lost her too. He became sober about the time that was Mel was ten years old and has remained sober since, only drinking on special occasions. Melanie has grown up with her father who alowed her to pursue her dream of becoming a journalist every step of the way, and absolutely adores his daughter. While Melanie only had a few friends through her lifetime, there was only ever one that she would truly consider to be a best friend and that would be Zak. She used to confide everything to him and what she was going to and in turn, Mel would listen to what he had to say. Four months ago, that all changed. When she was raped, she didn't tell her friend, only her father. When she found out that she had been gotten pregnant, she again couldn't bring herself to tell her best friend, only her father. It wasn't that she no longer wanted Zak to know everything anymore, it was that simply she was scared to voice it aloud to him, or anyone for that matter.
Now with Mel's stomach starting to just now show that she's pregnant, she doesn't exactly know how to tell everyone she has to face everyday what happened. Her father seeing that her daughter is struggling with her situation has been beginning to visit her more and more often for longer periods of time trying to help her through this tough time of hers. Melanie knows that her best friend is getting worried about her, but it doesn't make Mel want to let him in on her little secret even though her father says it might help her to tell someone else and have them know. In order for Melanie to put off telling everyone a little longer, she's taken to wearing shirts that fit loosely on her. Even so, Melanie knows that this problem isn't simply going to go away, nor can she hide it forever. Her thoughts of everything that has happened and what will come after she has the baby terrify her, but she tries to hide it as best she can.
Likes/Dislikes/Secrets: Melanie loves to read, and of course with being a Journalist and all, she also likes to write. On top of all that, one of her special little talents that very few people know about would be playing the piano. Mel hates the person that raped her and she hates the fact that the cops haven't found the person responsible yet. Melanie never used to be a very secretive person, but lately she's been keeping one of the biggest things that have happened to her a secret from her best friend; getting raped and being pregnant. Mel also keeps a locket around her neck that contains a picture of her mother.
Image:Our Young Gentleman Username: BunnyLovesChoo Name: Zackary Nathaniel Jane Nickname: Zak Age: Twenty Height: 6'1" Occupation: He works at a pizza joint, called Rocky Rococo as a delivery boy.
Personality: Zak may be your worst enemy or best friend. Like Mel for example. He got along with her very well, because she didn't tick him off. His brother on the other hand, left the family and forgot the bros vs. hoes deal. When he got his first girl, he ditched the family. If he doesn't know you too well like the costumers, he acts like your average guy... Well, kind ones anyway. He talks clearly, and doesn't act like a total jackass like most. He acts like a gentleman. But around his friends like Mel, he acts like a goofball. He can either be like the boys from Jackass and what not, or the average joker. He jokes around with his friends alot, especially with Mel. But when he realized something was up, he began to stop although still kept up to cheer her up. He wanted to know, but he still tried to get her to laugh.
Bio: Zak grew up with his mom, dad, older brother and younger sister... Although with most of his life, he was just with his little sister. When he was in high school, his parents got into a car crash along with their only daughter. His little sister. It had started out by them going to a movie, and Zak not wanting to go. By then his older brother didn't care and avoided the family entirely and tried to just stay with his girlfriend who he knocked up.... The third so far.... The car had flipped and rolled because a semi hit them. Not on purpose, but because it was late and it was a country road. There was no lights so when the driver tried to turn, his father thought he'd stop. Instead he didn't. He kept on going, not seeing them. His father tried to stop or go faster to pass it, but he couldn't... It was too late. The car spun out and then it went off the side of the road, adn flipped. His parents died, the sister was living... Barely. A year later, he was out of high school. His sister lived with him, but she was only ten at the time. She still blamed it on her wanting to go see the movie, so she now has Schizophrenia. He tries to comfort her, although it's not even average for a girl her age to get it. Most get it when their around their early twenties or late teens at the earliest... He hates himself for letting them go, since he sensed something was up.... Now for present time. She is thirteen, he is twenty, his brother is nowhere to be seen with the three kids that are his, and his parents graves are still in the same cemetery. Zak and Mel are still friends, and Zak and his sister still are rather close..... But Zak has feelings for her, and has for awhile. It all started after his parents died. He doesn't want to admit it to her, since he's scared it will ruin their friendship. Will it, or will it not? Although now things have been strange to him. She hides things, and never wants to come over like they used to. He invites her, and she declines. He tries to cheer her up, and she rarely laughs. Why is that, he wondered. He also wondered why his dad visited her just about every other day... He lived about two hours away.
Likes/Dislikes/Secrets: Zak likes many things, and he dislikes many things... He likes skateboards, cars and guy things along with some girl things. He can handle chick flicks and shows. In fact, he loves watching The Bachelor.... He always criticizes the women on there. Although the Vampire one this season sort of scared him. Just like his likes, he has quite a few things he dislikes. He dislikes the color pink, his job and especially his brother. They used to be friends although now their enemies and haven't seen each other since their parents funeral for five minutes.... Yeah, he left after that within a few minutes. He didn't care. So, since he didn't, Zak hates him.

~ Melanie Jane Cross ~ Melanie woke up only an hour or so after the sun had risen over the horizon. While it was a Saturday and she didn't have to work today, her body always seemed to be on her normal work schedule even on the weekends. The only exception that being when she'd stay up way late the night before or she wasn't feeling well. She stretched her arms over her head and then slid out from underneath the covers of her bed and walked to the kitchen. She opened up the cabinet above the sink and got a glass down, filling it with water from the tap. She briefly pondered the thought of having some sort of breakfast but lately that idea revolted her greatly. She knew that whatever she'd end up eating would end up either in the tiolet or the nearest trashcan she could get to due to the morning sickness she'd been expierencing for a while. At least when she didn't eat breakfast, the only thing she'd vomit up was either bile or nothing at all. The latter is what Mel preferred of course.
She placed her now empty glass on the counter and walked over to the couch and sat down, turning on the TV and flipping through different channels as she tried to determine what to watch. She stayed in her night clothes for now, a pair of shorts that hit mid-thigh and a tank top that was becoming increasingly tighter around her mid-section, but that was something that Mel was trying not to think about. Trying not to think about the little life she was holding within her stomach, that was growing slowly day by day, that she could now see it taking a physical change on her body. Melanie shook her head, shaking the thoughts away and focused on watching something on the TV and made sure that the program on the television screen was the only thing that was in her thoughts right now.

𝖅𝖆𝖈𝖐𝖆𝖗𝖞 ' 𝖅𝖆𝖐 ' 𝕹𝖆𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖊𝖑 𝕵𝖆𝖓𝖊xxxxxZak had just woken up soon after Mel had at her place. He had woken up because he heard about five squealing girls in his and his sister's little apartment... The apartment had paper thing walls, so he could hear them pretty well. He wanted to get up, but then again he didn't. His room was dark, and the clock read eight AM. He kept his blinds shut, because he hated the light... But he hated squealing girls waking him up even more. So, he decided to do it the hard way. He pulled himself up, and got dressed. He wore a black skin tight shirt, dark blue jeans and straightened his hair before he went into his sisters room. "Will you guys ever stop squealing over Johnny?" He teased, asking them before adding, "Pancakes or waffles?" He knew how to cook.... Somewhat. As long as they didn't turn out black or gooey, that's all that mattered. Breakfast was actually his only really good area of cooking... And Johnny was just a name he overheard the girls talking about. "Ooh, Johnny's so hot." Said one of them he heard. "No he's not, he's a dork." Said another, then the one said, "Well he's my dork." That made him want to call Mel though after he shut the door, waiting for the girls to come out then and steal his xbox to play Black Ops. He ended up making what he heard first. Both. He smirked as he had, and turned on his iHome. It was playing one of his favorite songs. Blood On My Hands by The Used. It really had no meaning to him, but he just liked the song rhythm and the music video he saw. Of course, it was sort of bloody. He liked some horror and some chick flick stuff. Music though, he liked more fast heavy beated songs like that one. The girls though didn't care. None of his sister's friends really cared. Most were used to it and liked the songs.xxxxxWithin a few minutes he called to them, "Killers, the foods ready." He then made the last of the batter up within a few seconds saving two for himself before walking over to the table where the girls were. The table only sat four, so of course two of them were sharing a chair. He just snatched up the syrup, drowning his pancakes in them before walking out to the couch. He sat down, and picked up the xbox remote and started off where the girls were. Of course he saw they were playing on his account, but he didn't care. He wanted to finish the game so he could sell it. He made a small profit off games as well as working at Rockys. His sister though, normally kept the game money though. After all, most were hers that they sold to buy new ones then got more and finished them before selling them all over again. He didn't mind, he just wished that Danny, his sister, wouldn't of sold the last one... It was one of his favorites, but that's how he got Black Ops. So then again, it was a good thing.OOC; Sorry for taking awhile... went brain dead when making this....

~ Melanie Jane Cross ~ After watching the TV for about thirty minutes or so, Mel grew bored of the movie that was playing. It was one that hadn't really interested her at the beginning of it and it had just become increasingly more disinteresting to her as it progressed. She sighed and got up from the couch and scratched the back of her head for a minute as she tried to decide what she wanted to do for now. She figured that she may as well get dressed into her clothes that she would wear for the day as well as brush her hair seeing as it must've looked like a rats nest after she'd woken up from her restless sleep. That was always how she slept now lately; restless, bad dreams, waking up gasping in fear all because of the things she'd see in her sleep, imagining that the man who'd raped her was coming back for her or something else that involved the man. It was part of the reason why her father had been coming over almost every other night. He'd stay the night so that Mel could get at least a semi-peaceful sleep once in a while even though her father was losing sleep himself with taking the time driving back and forth and working around his long job hours. The stress it was causing him to see his daughter in such a state showed in his eyes and the set of his mouth. Melanie hated how she was worrying him, but she was worried and stressed herself and couldn't seem to stop it or to get a hold on her feelings no matter how hard she tried.
Melanie sighed and walked into her bedroom before she rummaged through her dresser in search of the clothes that she wanted to wear today. After a bit of digging, she pulled out a pair of light stone wash jeans and a simple maroon colored t-shirt that had a twisted vine pattern running along the bottom hem. After she put on the clothes, she looked at herself to the side in the mirror and was satisfied when her baby bump was sufficently hidden. Just to make sure though, Mel grabbed a thin black jacket to put on as well. She went to the bathroom and grabbed her hair brush, running it through her long brown hair a few times before messing it to where she liked it. She put on a bit of mascara and eyeliner before she was satisifed with her reflection and walked out of the bathroom. Melanie walked to her dining room table and grabbed the keys to her apartment before walking to the door and unlocking the door and another lock that she added recently for extra protection reasons. When she got the door open, she stepped out and then closed it behind her, locking the door at the same time. She walked slowly out of the apartment complex as her mind was still consumed with thoughts like it always was as she got to the concrete side walk and just simply started walking without having a thought as to what her destination might be. It was as if she was determined to simply walk her problems away even though she knew this couldn't be done and that to just walk away from problems was childish thinking.
When she passed by Zak's apartment, she stopped and considered going to see him and tell him the truth finally. Like all other times though, she chickened out and began walking once more. She wanted to just scream in frustation with herself, her situation, and with the man that had raped her and gotten her pregnant. But she didn't, she just kept walking letting only one tear slide down her cheek before she hastily wiped it away.
[[OOC: XD Ha, it took me forever to read that middle icon you have! I kept saying 'Alright I'm done', but yet, I kept watching it till the end.]]

~ Melanie Jane Cross ~ Melanie kept walking at a normal pace after she had passed by Zak's apartment, she hadn't expected to see him on her little walk so he startled her slighty when she heard his voice come from his truck. Melanie looked over to where he was at and a small smile flickered across her face for a second before it faded and she listened to what he said. "No, I don't need a ride anywhere," she said to him and then thought for a minute if she wanted to go to Starbucks or not. She didn't think it would upset her stomach anymore then it already was so she nodded and said, "Starbuck's sounds perfect though." She walked off the sidewalk and got into the passenger's seat, closing the door behind her. She absentmindedly adjusted her jacket around herself when she had sat down to make sure that the folds of the fabric were all loose around her stomach area. When she was satisfied with making those minor changes, she settled a little more into the seat and glanced over at Zak. "How have you been lately? I haven't seen you in a while," she said to him, knowing that part was her fault but she didn't feel like pointing it out and besides, she already knew that he would know it had been her fault anyway.
Melanie stretched her legs out a bit in front of her before she yawned slightly, still trying to wake herself up. She figured that coffee would take care of the little problem of waking herself up completely even if the cool morning air had not.

𝖅𝖆𝖈𝖐𝖆𝖗𝖞 ' 𝖅𝖆𝖐 ' 𝕹𝖆𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖊𝖑 𝕵𝖆𝖓𝖊xxxxxZak watched her as he waited for an answer. Although he hoped he hadn't startled her, he did... He wasn't trying to look like a stalker to those who didn't know the two, although he got eyed by some little old lady up the street. She looked to be about ninety the way she dressed and looked. Wrinkly skin, beyond white hair and one of those scooter things. Hover rounds he thought they were called. But as he heard her answer about not needing the ride, he felt like an idiot sort of, since he was doing his play-flirting. Although this time, it wasn't all play. He sort of wanted it to be real. He then heard the second answer about her saying Starbucks would be perfect. He smiled and nodded, saying, "You can get your favorite in a large for all I care. Danny got me a twenty dollar gift card for Starbucks, even though she knows it'll be gone within a day... And you know I'll be bouncing off the walls with twenty dollars worth of Starbucks." It was true... He was sort of an addict of them. He always got the same thing too... Caramel Frappuccino, with extra caramel on top.xxxxxHe would of opened her door for her when she got in, although he wasn't that much of a gentleman. He tried to be, but she got the door first. He let her buckle up and what not before he had driven off, but he noticed her trying to cover her stomach more... He wondered why, but kept that to himself. "I've been fine. Normal squeals coming in the mornings," He started out saying, "But what about you?" He asked, changing the subject. He wanted to know what was up with her not wanting to do anything lately... He knew she wasn't antisocial, although he began to question if she was for the past four months. She never was before, so why now, basically? He shrugged it off and continued driving, awaiting an answer. He just wished she'd tell him what's up. He always could keep a secret, no matter what. He still hasn't even told anyone about her mother's death... Noone even knows of his own parent's death, only Mel and his sister. And again, only Mel knows of his sisters disease... The only one who would tell anything, was Danny.

~ Melanie Jane Cross ~ A small, quiet laugh escaped Melanie's lips as she heard him speak. Even though what he had said amused her, the laughter was forced and almost sounded fake to her own ears but she didn't want to just be completely sullen around Zak. "Yeah, you do drink a lot of coffee. Would a fifty dollar card even last a day?" she teased lightly. "And I'll definitely have to stick around for a while to see your caffeine rush hit you, that might just be fun to watch," she said to him as nodded her head a few times before she had gotten into his truck. Mel had always liked the vehichle that Zak drove. She only liked her own car because it was hers and it ran, which in the end, she supposed was the only thing that really mattered. And above that, it had great gas mileage which was something that came in handy when she went to go visit her father and stuff. Mel looked back over to Zak when she heard his answer to her question. "Ah, Danny have friends over again?" she said with a knowing smile. She herself used to do the same thing with her friends, but things had changed drastically since that time. Still, the memories of what she did with her friends when they had sleep over's were still fresh in her mind. Mel was sure that she and her friends had driven others crazy with their squeals as well, but at the time it wasn't like Mel cared any.
However, when she heard Zak's question that was directed at her, she broke her gaze with him and looked out the window instead. Watching the people that walked down the sidewalks and the buildings that they would pass by. "I've been alright. Work and such has kept me occupied lately," she said even though she knew it was a lie. Work was no busier for her then it normally was. She grimaced slightly at having lied to him, she hated lieing to Zak but she couldn't seem to bring herself to tell him the truth either. On top of that, Mel was a horrible liar. She always broke eye contact and turned her head away so no one could see her face. But telling him the truth would only make her situation that much more real, and that's the part that scared Mel so she kept from saying it even though she wanted to. "I don't have anything to do today though except till about four which is when my dad said he was going to come over, so, till then. I can spend the day with you if you want to go do something," she said as she herself tried to change the subject and get the subject off herself a litte bit. She returned her gaze back to him now and smiled a little as she waited on what sort of response that he might give.

𝖅𝖆𝖈𝖐𝖆𝖗𝖞 ' 𝖅𝖆𝖐 ' 𝕹𝖆𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖊𝖑 𝕵𝖆𝖓𝖊xxxxxA sly smile crossed Zak's face as he heard her laugh. "Um, I think a thousand dollar card might.... Barely," He teased as well. He wanted to get her to laugh for real... He knew it might be fake, but a fake was better then nothing at all. As he watched her do the nod, he chuckled. The truck might be a slight gas guzzler, but it went for awhile and worked good when he took Danny and a few friends on a camping trip each summer. He tries to invite Mel each time, although sometimes he's embarrassed to take her... Especially with the girls screaming about random bugs near them. He still remembered the time where just a small, little baby ant crawled onto Danny's shoe. She kicked and screamed till it was off and in the fire. "Yeah... Woke up to the girls screaming about whoever Johnny is and then I disturbed them and asked about breakfast then they left her room and went to play Black Ops... You should come over and try it once... Especially when your pissed and wanna kill something," He teased once more, looking to her. Whenever he was mad, he took it out on the game characters. Especially in the nights where he was annoyed about work and what not.xxxxxWhen he drove off, and he noticed her looking out the window he knew something was up. Not even she could lie to him. No one really could, because he knew whoever it was pretty damn well... Besides, she wasn't the best liar, and it made it easy so he said, "Well, at least you get paid overtime and get paid good doing something you love." He only said that, to agree with her and not sound like he was on to her. Although when she spoke about her father coming over, he questioned why he always did... Her dad wasn't the type to rape his daughter, so he knew that wasn't happening. But he did nod to make it look like he wasn't thinking as hard. "I'll remember that... Besides, I wanted to try and scare the girls. You up to it?" He had asked, since he planned to scare them earlier maybe... He'd plan to go to the pet store and buy a small thing of crickets or some type of bug and put them in her room. If he could get just one, that would be the jackpot. Besides.... Every week, Danny and Zak had a little competition on who could scare the living s**t out of each other each week.

~ Melanie Jane Cross ~ Melanie smiled and laughed a little at his joke, the laugh not quite as forced and fake as last time. "Well, one thing would be for sure. Starbucks would love you. The people having to make all those cups of coffee up for you probably not so much," she said with a tiny smile. Mel imagined how that would go over with the people that worked at the Starbucks, they would not only be seriously tired of making all those coffee's but she was pretty sure that Zak would get a few strange looks from them as well that would seem to say 'Is this guy crazy?'. "Ah, over a Johnny, huh? I bet the guy that they scream over change every month doesn't it?" she said with a smile on her face. "They wake you up from your sleep, they steal your x-box, and then you make them breakfast? You sure are a great brother that's all I can say," Mel said as she shook her head in disbelief with a small smile flickering across her lips before it faded as she thought about something that her words brought up. And you're a great friend while I'm the rotten one keeping secrets, she thought to herself sadly as her fingers picked at a loose thread of string that was coming from the side stitching in her jeans. She opened her mouth, about to spill her secret before she closed it again and frowned slightly. A part of her badly wanted to tell him, but that part that didn't want to accept this fact kept her mouth shut.
Mel looked back over at Zak when she heard him speak and she nodded as she said, "Yeah, that is the brightside to working a lot I suppose. And you're right, I do love my job. I think I've got the best one in the world, but you know, that's just my opinion." Since Mel still had her eyes on him, she could see that familiar thoughtful expression he got when he was thinking about something and she assumed that he was questioning something she'd said. It wasn't the first time that she'd notice him do this, but Mel always got that pang of fear when she saw that expression in the last four months because she was afraid that he was going to ask some question next that she couldn't get out of without spilling the truth. Relief flooded through her when he spoke again and it didn't question anything she didn't want brought up, not yet anyway. "Of course I'm up for that one, it sounds like it'll be a lot of fun," Melanie said, actually a little excited at the thought of doing something that might get her mind off other thoughts for the mean time. "Please tell me you've got something good in mind!" she said to him with a curious little look on her face, prepared to add little potential ideas to his scheme once he shared whatever it was with her if she could think of any.

𝖅𝖆𝖈𝖐𝖆𝖗𝖞 ' 𝖅𝖆𝖐 ' 𝕹𝖆𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖊𝖑 𝕵𝖆𝖓𝖊xxxxxZak smiled even more as he heard the real laugh. He thought it was amazing, like a baby's first word's to the parent. "Well, I already got kicked out of the one on Main Street last week," He said while chuckling. He had ordered about five coffees in an hour, and began to jump around like an idiot after just one. The skate park is next door, so he had stolen a kids skateboard in the process as well to do a few tricks... It had barely even dented his spazz time. And five, well... You don't want to know. Let's put it this way, the manager put up a sign saying 'Allow only one of something to this man' with his picture on it. So, basically like a wanted poster, but worse. This one had the manager and owner sign it. So unfortunately, he couldn't go to that one anymore. Then he came out of his thoughts and heard her and smirked. "Well, actually, it's just about every day or so. Yesterday it was Randy, and the day before it was Spencer... But I'm not that good of one. I get them at night time. Well, let's put it this way, never let me watch Jackass before they go to bed unless you want someone to get their clothes and most of their upper body wet..." He chuckled softly. He had the night before, found a roll of duct tape. Well, with him being kind of cruel and unusual, he sort of didn't tell them. He had wrapped it around the little spray thing that you can take out and spray to wash dishes when the water was on. He got Danny pretty bad when she got a glass of water... Aimed right at her face.xxxxxZak noticed the look and her opening her mouth as if to say something. He questioned what she was going to say, but kept it to himself. Then a few seconds later, he hear her speaking. "Well, you know me... I'd probably get fired within the first week since I sucked bad enough in Mrs. Kulas's class in seventh grade. And the b***h scared me too," He said looking over to her. It was true... The chick had given him a C when he just didn't talk. Not for talking! That's bogus! So, he had gotten back at her... Made her cry too. Wrote on her precious name thing that she kept on her desk with her name on it. Never mess with the crazy kid... He get's back if you scare him and try to fail him for no rea-.... He heard her speak again. He really needed to stop thinking random thoughts. "Yeah, it should... But do you know a place where I can get just one bug cheaply?" He asked, chuckling. "You know how they always scream at the slightest little bug? Well, I was going to put one in Danny's room out in the open while their out in the living room or something... Or a big one... Wait, do you know a field where you can get little garden snakes? That would be even better!" He was smiling big... Danny may hate bugs, but snakes were a whole entire different story. For Zak, he actually had the piercings that were called snakebites. And as a kid, he had a pet snake he named Rocky... Till it escaped and got flattened by a car.

~ Melanie Jane Cross ~ Melanie smiled and shook her head as she heard that. "You got kicked out of the Starucks? I don't think I've ever heard of someone being kicked out of a Starbucks before," Mel said with a nod before she glanced over at Zak and rolled her eyes at him. "It's a wonder that you haven't been commited to a rehab center for your addiction to coffee," she teased him as she poked his arm lightly. Melanie was kind of glad that Zak had seen her walking and that Mel had accepted his offer to go to Starbucks. Isolating herself from everyone she knew had saddened her, but she was afraid to be around anyone in case they found out what she had kept a secret or she accidentally said something that gave it away. Even so, she knew Zak was more observant then most of the people she was friends with which is why she had been spending hardly any time with him at all. She knew he knew that something was up, but for now, Melanie didn't want to let him in on what she would eventually have to tell him. She tuned back in to the world around her when she heard Zak speak again. She laughed a little and said, "Right. No watching Jackass for you, I'll make sure that one doesn't happen," she said to him. "Shall I start trying to keep you in line when you do all your pranking?" Mel teased him, even though she wasn't serious about it. She liked to watch his pranks take place way too much to even consider stopping them.
Melanie glanced at Zak when she heard his response to what she had said. She grinned and shook her head, "I don't know what you're talking about. I loved Mrs. Kula she was always nice to me, not a b***h at all. And how was she scary? The b***h was Mrs. Sherwood, our ninth grade math teacher remember her? I swear she always made me answer the hardest problems and you know I was horrible in math. I was convinced she just wanted to make me look like an idiot," Melanie said as she crossed her arms over her chest and pretended to pout before she smiled and laughed lightly. Mel listened to what Zak was saying about where he could find what was needed for his prank. Mel shook her head and said, "Bugs or snakes? I think you're trying to give her a heart attack," she teased him before she added, "But, you can find garden snakes in the field that is about a mile after town. I went walking through there once and saw quite a few of them, she commented to him as she tried to think of where you could get bugs at. "It'd be grate if you could get a few of those big spiders and let them crawl around her room too, but I'm not sure where you can get those. The pet store in town I think has some," she added with a shrug of her shoulders.

𝖅𝖆𝖈𝖐𝖆𝖗𝖞 ' 𝖅𝖆𝖐 ' 𝕹𝖆𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖊𝖑 𝕵𝖆𝖓𝖊xxxxxZak nodded like a kid innocently when he heard her. He often did get kicked out of coffee joints, especially Starbucks. But he chuckled at the next comment. The Starbucks manager already suggested it so he smiled and nodded... "I've gotten reccomemded for it already." He smirked, entering the parking lot. He parked it and looked to her. He actually was more observant, although he did act stupid most of the time. So, it may take some time to actually realize she was pregnant.... Her constantly checking her belly area wasn't helping much. He heard her smeaking again and chuckled. "Not late at night anyway. But yes, you should... Because someone might end hurt." He looked to her, and nodded like an innocent kid, pointing to himself as he said 'someone might get hurt'... The girls normally ended up hurting him in the process. Once, they grabbed one of his old paintball guns... Let's put it this way, his old jeans were multicolored by the time they were done, and he had marks all along his a**... Not a pretty sight nor feel. xxxxxHe looked to her surprised as she said she loved Kulas, and Sherwood was. "Sherwood was easy! That was nothing compared to Kulas. She made my grades living hell. I normally barely get honor roll, but that time I didn't because of her. Sherwood though, she was easy. I actually liked her as a teacher. She got me to understand the s**t we did," He said and then smirked continuing on, "That's why we got each other. You help me in the b***h's class, I help you in Sherwood's." He laughed softly at her pout and poked her nose. He knew it was fake, because he could tell on her. If she wanted to pout, she could of. But, he wouldn't of fallen for it anyway growing up with Danny who pouted at everything and still does. "I am not!," He whined, but continued cheerfully saying, "Thank-you babe." He called her babe to tease her, and he did with some close friends that were girls.. Even a few guys to creep them out. It worked too... One guy actually threatened to beat him up. He was deciding whether he'd buy a tarantula. He sort of wanted one, so he might just buy that instead and keep it as a pet to creep her out and stay away from his room.
