007: Heartbeat 31 July 2015
*Veronica*

“Mrs. Baker?”
“Yes Vicky?”
“Where’s Zacky?”

I asked, looking at a clock on the wall. It is just 6 a.m. and I never see him wake up early like this before.

“He left a note on a table”

She says while cooking. I walk reach the table, see a white paper note.

‘I might be home late at night. Don’t worry
Zacky’

I look up at grandma with confuse but she just smiles like she knew something.
Where is he going?

*Gena*

‘Would you mind if I ask you to going out with me tonight?
Mr. Vengeance’

I picked up a note. It was in my locker. I read it before look around. This is Tuesday, my turn to check the library because I’m in library club, so I have to come early.
It’s no one here but people in my club but they are in library.
I look around but no one here, so I walk out of the hall but I still can’t see anyone. I look at a paper again, feeling familiar at the name ‘vengeance’.
Then I look up again and see him there, out of the fence. He smiling at me, flowers in his hand.
I feel my cheeks blush slightly. I look at a paper again before look up at him. I walk reach him, ask.

“So… Mr. Vengeance?”
“Yes, I am”

He said, smiling.

“Would you mind if I ask you to go out with me tonight?”

I smile shyly, look down to the flowers in his hand. Red chrysanthemum.

“So… what time?”
“After school”
“…I’ll see you at front door”

I smile at him. He smiles back and gives me the flowers through a hole beside his hand. I get it before walk inside again.
Oh dear, he asked me to go out with him.

*Zacky*

after she got inside I quickly run toward a shop near a school. Buy something I’m going to need tonight. Her favorite food, snacks and… ‘That thing’. Just if necessary!

“How old are you, boy?”
“17”
“Oh, where’s your girl, huh? Is she in college?”
“Just if necessary”

He smirks as put them into plastic bag.

“I know boy. 72$”

I pay him before walk outside.

“Good luck boy”

Oh, just shut up!
