I about to leave for my Physics class, when he picked up my hand and stopped me.
"Valerie... I need to tell you something..."
"What?"
I was in need of those two words, when he said it.
"I'm sorry."
"Why?"
"I've been a jerk. I'm sorry, please. We can together work things out, I need you."
"What about Lavender?"
"I broke up with her. Valerie, let's forget everything, I want you."
"But its too late to say sorry now, Zach."
"Please... slut."
And again, there was laughter and giggling from behind him.
Zachary pushed away my hand, like it was a disgusting piece of garbage.
This had been a prank all along.
"What a bloody whore." was the last thing I heard from Zachary.
