| Why am I so insecure? I don�t know that, maybe she really does like me. Or maybe she doesn�t like either of us, maybe she likes Isaac. Maybe she doesn�t even like Hanson, how do I know? �.Because she was the second runner up at the WKJD contest. But that doesn�t mean anything. Maybe she was just talking to me because she was trying to be nice. Was I totally drooling over her? Probably. But she was watching me too, well, that�s what Macky said. So what, that doesn�t mean anything either, she was probably watching what a fool I was making of myself. Why am I so worried about how I acted in front of her? I�m Zac Hanson. I can act like a total dumb ass and people would think its cool. Not that that�s what I was trying to do. I doubt she would find any one of my jokes funny. But she�s my age, sixteen. Don�t all the fans my age and younger love me? Well, that sounds conceited, but usually that�s how it is. Then the next age group�a year older than me on likes Tay, and usually the Ike fans are all mixed in. So what, disregard that, she�s different, she wasn�t all teary-eyed. She was�mysterious. Mysterious, is that even the word to use? Probably not. I bladded into Asher Grove, supposedly the �rich� people live here, ha, we�re rich and we don�t live here. I�m glad too. We live in Wood Groove, which is better-actual woods. I like the woods better, there aren�t a whole lot of them, but its still better than none at all, especially in Tulsa, Oklahoma, there aren�t a whole lot of trees out here. Her last name is Taylor. Taylor. Hahaha, no wonder she blushed when she told me. Tay�s probably her favorite anyway, and how do I know she�s not like the rest of the fans? She could be like those girls from last summer, that tried to be friends with us, but in the end they had been doing it all along just to write a book about us, only to find out later it had become a nobel prize winner when we hadn�t even known about it. Life can be so friggin complicated. I should just stay away from her. ~ Candal ~ I heard a noise behind me and turned around. Nothing there, must have been my imagination. I started jogging again, quickening my pace. I just wanted to get home. It was too dark out to be alone right now. Well, at least I thought so, either way, it was five past twelve, and it was getting chilly. Long run. �When the night is dark and stormy, you wont have to reach out for me�.I will come to you, oh oh I will come to you.� I stopped running and spun around. I had definitely heard something, but singing? Was I totally imagining it? I listened again to see where it was coming from but it was too windy. What was that song? �When you don�t know how or why, but you�ve lost your way.� I Will Come To You! It�s a Hanson song, from their old cd. This is way too freaky. Suddenly it was a lot darker outside too. I looked at the sky, a huge cloud was covering the moon. �Zac? Is that you?� He�s got to live around here somewhere, I mean, come on, this is Asher Grove, all the snotty rich people live here. Oops, not that he�s snotty, just, urrg, its got to be Zac, it even sounds like Zac. Oh my god I�m calling him Zac now, what like we�re on a first name basis? Well�I guess we are. But I only talked to the kid for a few minutes. Why did he want me to sit with him anyway? That was weird. And his little brother, what did he call him? Macky? Cute. Little Mac Hanson, and big brother Zac calls him Macky. � �Cause even if we can�t be together, we�ll be friends now and forever.� �ZAC!?� I shouted. I can�t believe no one�s popped their heads out from their house to see who�s yelling. Asher Grove is beautiful, but definitely a little too stiff for me. I started jogging again, I had to get out of here, this was WAY too freaky. For all I know some guy with a knife�s going to jump out from the side of someone�s house and slice-and-dice me. I watch too many friggin movies. ~ Zac ~ �And I swear, that I�ll be there, come what may�� I don�t even know why I started singing this song� �Someone who�ll always understand�� Guess its just one of those things where you get it on your mind and you have to sing it. I stopped and spun around dead in my tracks. I could have sworn I heard someone yell my name. �Huh� I shrugged and kept blading, must have imagined it. �Brrr, its getting colder�in this ditch where I lie, I�m feeling older, and I�m wondering why�ha ha ha,� why do I always do that? Its like I say three words and I have to finish it with a phrase from one of our songs. Oh well. �ZAC!?� |
