At Millburn High School…

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU79hFtcQe

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtFqjb5WLD

Zac walks into school & notices a few students giving him odd looks; he avoids eye contact by pulling out his schedule from his backpack & “studying” it closely. Just then, he gets interrupted by a poke on his left shoulder…

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjRI86ABOd

Sel: Hey,I’m Selena

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsR8g0d76U

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8FHbBKgbt

Just then three students walk down the hallway like they own the place. One girl has long black-wavy hair & a big attitude; another girl is a striking blonde with a sweet smile, & a tall built attractive guy with short black hair. The blonde haired girl catches Zac’s eye while she passes him…

Saturday afternoon…

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EqriIf3Gt

Zac is waiting for Ashley to be dropped off at his house. The weather is rainy but the sun is still shining. His face lights up when he sees Ashley coming towards his front door. He runs out his front door & lifts her up into the air & spins her around…

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeRZS7bisL

Ash: *laughs* Oh my god, you’re crazy!

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4J7BRkKFf

Zac sets her down, but he keeps his hands on her waist. Ashley leaves her arms wrapped around his neck…
