Zack

Class continued like nothing happened and before Mai looked at you with the ' I will talk to you later' look. Soon class ended and before you can even get close to Mai students flocked towards like flies drawn to a flame. You decided, after trying to go through the crowd and failing, to just talk to her later and left the classroom to meet Zack, your best friend and probably one of the most caring person you know. At least towards you.

" How long have you been waiting here, Zack?" You asked looking at Zack who was shivering.

Zack normally brings his jacket or a coat because he is anemic but today he does seem to have it.

" Not that long" Zack answered.

" Where's your coat? Did you forget it?" You questioned unzipping your bag and taking out an extra jacket.

" Yeah" Zack rubbed his hands together and blowing it, trying to keep it warm.

Days like this that has a chill in the morning, but going into afternoon it gets warmer, are getting more frequent for some unknown reason.

You take out the jacket from your bag and placed it around him before also grabbing gloves from in your bag and handing it to him.

" Here, wear these on" You said.

" Don't you need though?" Zack asked handing it back to you.

" I'll be fine" You replied placing the gloves in his hands and smiling gently.

Everything became quiet just then.

" Anyway, I heard you got a new classmate" Zack announced looking at your facial expressions for a response.

" Yeah, I think she wanted to tell me something but I didn't get a chance to"

" Oh so that was her suffocating in the crowd of people?" Zack asked jokingly.

You managed to say a good response even though you are lost in thought but Zack noticed that you seem dazed and asked," You alright?"

That question made you lose your train of thought as you mustered an unsure, "Yeah"

" Are you sure?" Zack asked again.

" Honestly, I don't know. Should I be?" You revealed.

" Were you thinking about Lilah?"

" How could I not?" You said looking at Zack.

" I'm sure they'll find her" Zack said reassuring you.

Zack patted you on your back before wrapping his arm around your shoulder and leading you to the Cafeteria.

" Zack we have never went or bought anything here ever since we started going here. I don't think this is a good idea" You told him.

" Come on, what's the worst that could happen?" Zack said reassuring you that it'll be fine. Twenty minutes later, there you were sitting down defeated after learning that not only did they give you the wrong thing they also ripped you off, well ripped Zack off since he paid for everything.

" I don't want to tell you I told you so but I told you so" You said.

" I know" Zack responded a little pissed.

" We are never buying anything there ever again" Zack announced finishing off the half eaten snack he bought.
