Just about the time Anthony and I broke up, Zach and I became good friends we would talk everyday while watching Soap Opera's. One day I didn’t call him until they were almost over and his sister and him were all worried that something happened to me because I always call. When School started I was starting to like Zach. Now this was no good since he was Anthony's friend. So I tried to not think about him but one night while we were talking I some how mentioned I thought he was cute. He was really surprised with that I guess he thought I wasn't attracted to him. He told me he thought I was cute also. Now besides the fact that he was Anthony's friend, he was also friends with Ryan who really liked me and Zach knew this. We talked about it and decided that the last relationships we had were pretty serious and it was time for a fling. See with Ryan he wanted to have a serious relationship, I just wasn't ready for that. So Zach and I as an idea was really great. Zach was way cute, a really great friend, and into the same things as me. We started dating about two weeks before Halloween.

It was great having him as a boyfriend. Zach would walk me to class and pick me up after class. It was really nice to get out of class and have him be there to walk me to the bus before he had to go to practice. One day he even came to school early so he could be there with me since I got to school 45 minutes before it started.

So many girls were jealous of me, since Zach was a really gorgeous guy and so sweet. Zach and I were both in choir, but not in the same one. I was in the all girls choir and he was in Concert Choir and Crimson Image. He has a really great voice and really knows how to sing. While he was on stage I was able to listen to him sing and wow he is so amazing. I remember looking at him and thinking wow that’s my boyfriend.

The Friday before Halloween we had a football game. Zach gave me his jacket that night to wear it was so cute of him. We went to Kathleen's Party that night together. It was fun. By this time I was really starting to like Zach. Chelsee and I had a Party at her house the next night it was so much fun. We had a Karaoke Machines and everyone was singing to it. I was really teasing Zach that night it was so funny. One of the songs said something about the girl being a tease and Zach looked at me and was all like this song is for you. I had a really great time.

Halloween night as I sat at home and handed out candy to all the little kids I decided that I really did like Zach and that I had to break up with him since we decided that if we started to really like each other that we would end it. I really wasn't ready for a serious relationship yet.

The day after Halloween we were at school on the hallway and he wanted to break up with me and I wanted to break up with him but neither of us wanted to be the one that broke us up. Finally I did it. It was hilarious we hugged and felt so relieved that it was all over and we could go back to being great friends.

It was hard not wanting to be with him. You never like breaking up with someone, especially if you still like him. The good thing is nothing changed between us. We still talked all the time and had a good time together. The only thing we stopped was kissing. We even still walked together outside after school.

A lot of time went by and things never changed between us. I started Dating Brad about a month and a half after I broke up with Zach. And about a year later I moved to Renton.

For Bethels Spring break I stayed at Chelsee's house. Zach was actually able to go to the party I was having with only my closest friends. Now see Zach was almost never able to go to parties. He was always going to Oregon to visit his relatives. So this was cool. We all decided we wanted to go play basketball so we all piled into the cars and went. Anthony Zach and I went together to the junior high to play basketball. On the way there Zach had to stop at his house to get a change of clothes, since he was wearing nice clothes. Well he also had to get deodorant and cologne. LOL he wanted to make sure he was going to be clean before he put his other clothes on. We all had a great time. Zach Anthony and I were on one team. Michelle, Ian, Jennifer, and her bf were on the other. Well we totally kicked butt.

Again we didn't talk for a long time. I called him from time to time to see what was up. I was at his graduation and I cheered him on as he walked. Zach was going to WSU for college.

Zach is now My WSU Man. Home of The Cougars. When he goes back to school it will be his second year, he has his own place with some friends this year. Zach is in town this summer but I still haven’t seen him yet. We have had plans but they never end up happening. I think it’s still great that we can talk like we used to. I hope that never changes.

Zach I just want you to know that you are one of my greatest friends. Thanks for standing by me through all the years. I hope this year is awesome for you. I promise Anton and I will actually come see you this time. Thank you for everything. I wish I could tell you how much you really helped me with Anthony. Just lets hope you wont have to do it again. I miss you!! You better come see us before you leave!!
