The First Time

Emma’s POV

After Joe picked me up right after Zack’s awesome band rehearsal, I was puzzled. I was not like myself today. I’ve never ever leaned close to a guy and whisper to his ear. I was wondering, what is going on with myself? I really don’t know how to feel about him. He has a life, a talent, brains, an incredible personality, and friends while my talent is sleeping and I’m not even as smart as the other girls I know Zack could score. What is wrong with me?

My head tells me not to feel anything stupid while my heart is saying that I might be falling for Zack. I don’t know what was happening. I’ve never fall in love before. I don’t know how this is going to go. I mean, why would a guy as amazing as Zack be with me? I should really shake this feeling off.

After Kate and Joe went to sleep, I went to the living room. It was unlike me for wanting to sleep on the couch. I lay there in the couch while thinking of Zack. I really like him and I hope he likes me back, but what should I do? I like opening up to Zack even though I haven’t open up that much. I’ve never really opened up to anyone before. Since I met Zack, I feel like I finally have someone I could trust.

Right before my eyes closed, an idea popped inside my head. Not a really great idea and it is quite risky, but worth trying. It’s something I haven’t been doing very well. The idea was that I should open up more to Zack and attempt to get closer to him. I hope this works.

Zack’s POV

After the band rehearsal, Rian and Alex stated that they think Emma is quite cool even though Alex thinks she may be too quiet, but at the same he thinks that she may be my quiet, sweet, cool type. Jack thinks she is really nice and quiet, but too polite. He was quite okay with Em though. I’m glad they kind of like Emma.

I kept on thinking of what attempt should I do to crack Emma and get her closer to me. I was lost and when I almost gave up, I figured out what to do. The performance of The Winter’s Tale is coming soon. Maybe, I could ask Emma to paint the props afterschool with me. I hope this works.
