Chapter Four That night I was laying on my bed listening to 'Three Car Garage.' I picked up my scrapbook and flipped to the page that I had told Zac to sign, cause it was my favorite picture of him. I stared at it. Reading the message over and over. Does he really mean it? Or does he write that to every girl who doesn't freak and he thinks is cute? I didn't know. It could be either way, knowing Zac, you never can tell. Then I noticed something, in the right hand corner of the picture. It was tiny. So tiny that I squinted to see it. But I made it out, after 5 minutes. It was number. Under it it said: Call me.
I couldn't believe my eyes! My first impulse was to call May or Angela or Krista. I picked the phone up off the hook . Then set it down again. I can't call them, any of them, I can't tell them about this. They'd tell everyone! I thought. Well, my next choice, was to call the number, and see who answered. That was a scary choice though, and I wasn't sure I wanted to go through with it. But what if it really was Zac's number. I wanted to see him again. But I didn't think he'd write a thing like this, giving out his number. 'Maybe one of the girls wrote it, as a joke or somethng.' I thought aloud. No, they wouldn't do that. I've got no other choice, I have to call this number. - 'YOU WHAT!?' Isaac spun around to face his 14 year old brother who was lying on his bed, throwing a ball against the wall.
 'I gave her our number.' Zac said plainly.
'Umm...Zac! What were you thinking!?' Tay asked.
 'Well honestly?' Zac looked at them and stopped bouncing the ball.
'Yea.' Ike told him.
'Well I was thinking about how beautiful she was but that's--'
Tay rolled his eyes. 'I mean, what were you thinking when you wrote our number!?'
 'I JUST TOLD YOU DUMBASS!' He shouted.
'Wooo, mom'll love to know about that one!' A 12 year old Jessie said as she stepped through the door.
 'Jess, what the hell do you want?' Zac asked angily.
'Some money.' She smiled at him.
 'What about your allowance?!' He demanded.
'I spent it last week at the mall.' She explained.
 'I'm not giving you any then.' Zac resumed throwing the ball at the wall.
'Well I could just see what mom has to say about your little comment then.' She said.
'That's black mail!' Zac screamed.
 'I know. Now fork it over!' Jessica Demanded.
'Girls.' Zac mumbled as he rolled off his bed. He got out 20 dollars and handed it to her. 'Where're you going anyways?' He asked laying back down on the bed.
 'To the movies with Brad.' She told him, counting the money.
'OOOOO Brad!' Tay teased her. 'Sure, you're gonna watch the movie, i'll bet.' He grinned.
 'Taylor, shut up!' She demanded.
'You don't need twenty dollars for the movies! Besides, that little jerk should be paying!' Zac shouted at her.
 'He IS paying!' She replied. Then she turned and ran outta the room.
'YOU BRAT!' He called after her. He sighed. Ike walked over and shut the door, locking it this time.
'Now, what were you thinking? Giving her our number?'
' I just told you! 3 minutes ago!' Zac screamed. 'And that's what I was thinking!'
Taylor was going to yell at Zac, but he was interupted by the phone ringing. Zac jumped off the bed and picked it up. 'Hello?' He said hoping it was Leah.
 'Ummm...Zac?' She said nervously.
'Yea this is Zac!' He was excited now.
 'Wow, ummm....' She didnít know what to say.
'Do you wanna do something tomorrow?' Zac blurted out.
'Yes!' She replied, a bit shocked.
Taylor was standing by Ike across the room moving his hand across his throat as if to say 'No! Cut it! STOP!' But he didn't want Leah to hear him.
Zac said bye and hung up the phone. He smiled to himself.
'Zac!' Taylor demanded. No answer. 'ZAC!' He screamed.
 'What Tay!?'
'Hey lover boy, don't get so pissed! So what're you doing tomorrow with her anyway?'
'Going rollerblading.' He said, still smiling. Chapter Five
