I know your type, boy you're dangerous

Right now, Kaitlyn wanted to strangle Bree. She knew her friend thought she was helping, but trying to corner her into spending time alone with the most well-known womanizer on campus was far from helping. But if Zacky really needed help with his schoolwork, Kaitlyn wouldn't be able to turn him down. She was too nice. She felt a little bad for it, but Kaitlyn was honestly hoping that Zacky wouldn't need any tutoring or better yet, didn't even have that class. But then he was telling them that he did, in fact, take the introductory biology course and Kaitlyn knew she'd just been suckered into tutoring him. "Uh yeah, I can help you," she said. "We could start after lunch, if you're free? The library is usually pretty empty this time of the afternoon."

It was probably best that she tutor Zacky in the library, where there were at least other people around. Kaitlyn didn't yet have any real reason or proof to think that Zacky was trying to sweet talk her into his bed but she still knew Zacky's reputation and she would still feel more comfortable if they weren't completely alone. Or around anything that resembled a bed. And she would hate for Michael to get the wrong idea, which she was sure he would if he found out that Kaitlyn was alone with Zacky in her dorm room or his.

"So um, I'm going to run up to my dorm room to put my books away but I guess you can add me on facebook so we can message?" Kaitlyn suggested. She knew it would be easier for her and Zacky to exchange numbers but she didn't think they'd reached that level of friendship just yet. Facebook messenger felt just a little bit more noncommitted, in a strange sort of way. "Just let me know if you're free to study and we can meet at the library."

Kaitlyn offered Zacky a wave as she walked away from the table, holding back for a second when Bree followed after her. "Why are you taking Zacky to the library to study?" Bree asked. "Why don't you take him back to the dorm room? It's not like I would be there to bother you, I have class."

"I don't know, maybe because it's a bad idea to be alone with Zacky when I'm with Michael?" Kaitlyn replied sarcastically. "The library is where most people go to study, anyway. It's quiet there. And it won't look weird if anybody sees me with Zacky there."

Zacky perked up a bit when Kaitlyn suggested they he should add her on facebook. It was such a minute detail that it didn't really matter, he didn't think, but it was just another small step closer to being with her. He looked down to his lap to conceal the grin that was threatening to spill over onto his features. When he thought he had himself under better control, Zacky looked up and gave a nod of his head. He grabbed his phone that was sitting on the table, having long been forgotten. He pulled up facebook, hesitating for a moment before he typed in Kaitlyn's first name. His brows pulled together as he glanced toward her. "Your last name is Harvey... right?"

With no time to waste, Zacky burst from the table the moment that Kaitlyn and Bree had disappeared around the corner. He pulled out his phone, calling Brian as he made his way through the hallways, toward Brian's dorm. Brian usually slept in until noon at least, effectively meaning that he missed his morning classes and that Brian would likely be thrilled with Zacky's little proposition considering the bio class that he was in, was, in fact, in the morning.

Brian laughed when Zacky explained the situation but agreed, motioning toward his bio book that sat in the corner of his dorm room, more or less completely abandoned. He smirked to himself, thanking the guitarist. He pulled out his phone, sending Kaitlyn a quick message that he was available to study in the library.

Bidding Brian farewell after Brian gave him a brief explanation of a project that was due in the class, Zacky was confident that this was going to turn out in his favour. Now that he had some sort of clue what he was heading into, Kaitlyn was sure to help him out for another two or three weeks for the project and then... Zacky would surely be able to work his magic by then. Finding an empty table in the corner of the library, Zacky dropped his bag onto it before slipping into one of the seats to wait as patiently as he could for Kaitlyn.

Midway to the dorm, Kaitlyn and Bree parted ways, with Bree reluctantly headed towards her algebra class. Kaitlyn pulled out her phone as she continued to the dorm, accepting Zacky's friend request before shoving it back into her pocket. She had a weird feeling about being friends with him on facebook but she just had to keep telling herself that it was innocent. She was just helping him study, that was it. Once she got to her room, Kaitlyn dropped her bag onto her bed, stepping over to their shared mini-fridge to grab a bottle of water. She'd just added a few of her flavor drops to the bottle when she heard her phone ping to signal that she had a message and without even looking, she knew it was from Zacky.

Grabbing her keys, Kaitlyn left her room and made the short walk to the library. Looking around, it took her a few seconds to spot Zacky at a table in the corner on the first floor. "Hey, sorry it took so long," she apologized, dropping into a chair. "I didn't expect you to be ready so soon. So uh, why don't you explain your assignment to me?" She watched as Zacky opened his textbook to the chapter on cell biology, listening as he tried to describe what his assignment was. Judging by the way he talked about it, it seemed like he really needed the help. "Well, this should be pretty easy," Kaitlyn said. "This is actually probably one of the simplest things you'll learn in intro to bio."

As she was explaining the material to Zacky, Kaitlyn actually found that she was enjoying herself. She'd always been a science person so as lame as it probably made her, she was actually having fun. "Alright, so I think you should probably start on your sketch of a eukaryote and I'll check it out next time?" Kaitlyn said. She offered Zacky a slight smile. "But uh, I guess you can message me if you have any questions." She got to her feet, pushing in her chair before she grabbed her now empty water bottle. "So I'll see you later?"

Glancing up from his phone when Kaitlyn approached, Zacky offered her a gentle smile as he shrugged his shoulders. "S'alright. Nothing to worry about. I did get over here pretty quick," he said with an one-sided shrug. "Besides. You're helping me out. It's not like I have the right to be mad over it," he said. "Besides. I try to take things easy," he teased softly, making sure to keep his tone light so that Kaitlyn didn't think too much about it.

Turning his attention toward his so-called project, Zacky did his best to seem attentive and like he actually gave a shit about what Kaitlyn was teaching him. In all truth, he didn't care. It wasn't his grade, it wasn't his class... it held nothing for him in all actuality. Other than convincing Kaitlyn to keep hanging out with him to supposedly teach him entry level biology. The longer that he was able to hang out with her, the closer that they would grow and eventually, Zacky would be able to sleep with her. She seemed like a girl that cared about things; that actually wanted to make people happy. And if he got her to care enough about him that when he made it clear he 'liked' her and wanted to be with her, Zacky was sure Kaitlyn would sleep with him.

"I can get this done tomorrow... you think we could do this again tomorrow or Wednesday? Don't want to lose everything I've learned so far," Zacky said with a small grin. "Or at least, sometime this week..." he trailed off, not wanting to pressure too much just yet. "Whatever works for you, I can make it work."

"Uh, Wednesday would probably be better," Kaitlyn said. "Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest days so I usually just like to relax when I'm finished with class. Plus, you know, I do have studying of my own to do," she teased. "So I'll see you on Wednesday." She gave him one final wave before she left the library, tossing her empty water bottle into a trashcan on her way out. Under the innocent circumstances, Kaitlyn had actually had a good time with Zacky. Of course, most of her attention had been focused on the textbook. But maybe Zacky wasn't as awful as everyone made him out to be. Maybe he was actually...nice.

Of course, that didn't mean she was going to sleep with him or anything. They were only friends. She was with Michael and she liked him. A lot. She just didn't think she had to sleep with him to prove that. Back in the room, Kaitlyn kicked off her shoes and dropped onto her bed, turning on the television. She knew Bree would be back from class soon and hounding her about her tutoring session with Zacky and she wanted to get a little peace and quiet while she could.

Kaitlyn was so focused on the television that she didn't hear the suite door open nearby, jumping when the bedroom door sprung open. Bree practically threw her bag across the room onto her bed, jumping up onto Kaitlyn's bed. "So how was your afternoon with Zack?" she said.

Kaitlyn rolled her eyes. "I tutored him," she said. "And he looked bored as hell. I don't think he's going to pass this class, even with my help." But Kaitlyn would still try because if she didn't and Zacky failed, she would feel responsible. She was too nice. That's what everyone told her, anyway.

Little did Kaitlyn know just how bored Zacky had been the entire time that she had been tutoring him. He was far more interested in asking small questions, simply trying to learn about her as much as he could. He knew, or at least suspected, that the way into her pants was through her heart. He'd, of course, reported back to Brian almost immediately because as far as Brian was curious considering it was his grade that was ultimately being helped out by Zacky's little rendezvous with Kaitlyn.

---

Wednesday rolled around and Zacky had very nearly forgotten about his little tutoring session that he had scheduled a few days ago with Kaitlyn until Brian had reminded him. Right away, Zacky had sent Kaitlyn a quick message on facebook to ask if they were still on. He didn't exactly want to show up at the library with his sketch of the... the whatever the hell the organism was called that Kaitlyn had told him to draw only to realize they had to cancel their session today.

Kaitlyn answered him nearly half an hour later and just like last time, Zacky had been the first one to arrive to the library so that he could pick a table in a corner that was a bit more secluded. He glanced up when he heard footsteps approaching, smiling when he caught sight of Kaitlyn. "Hey, you. How's it going?"

[sorry if she's being too specific about the biology, I'm a nerd about this kind of shit ]

Kaitlyn almost thought that Zacky had forgotten about their second study session until she got his message. She'd already gotten back to her room and was admittedly a bit tempted to cancel. But he was probably already on his way to the library and she would feel awful for days if she didn't help him like she'd promised. She was just too damn nice. So she messaged him back that she would be there in fifteen minutes since she wanted to stop by the on-campus Starbucks to grab a coffee.

Slipping on her shoes and grabbing her bag, Kaitlyn left her dorm. After making her pitstop at the coffee shop she headed for the library, happily sipping on her iced coffee. It took her a minute or so to spot Zacky tucked away in the corner of the library and as she headed in that direction, she couldn't help but wonder if he'd chosen a more secluded table on purpose. But even if he had, maybe he just did it so there was less chance of a disturbance? That made sense. But maybe she just didn't want to think that Zacky had ulterior motives for asking her to tutor him.

"Uh hey, it's going pretty good," Kailty said, taking a seat. She gestured to her coffee. "I have caffeine. So, let's see your eukaryote drawing." Kaitlyn held out her hand to take the drawing from Zacky, surveying it with a bemused look on her face. "Well. This is...something. Not...Not that it's bad or anything, it's just not great." Kaitlyn offered a sheepish grin as she handed Zacky back the drawing. "Why don't you try labeling it now? Try not to use the book if you can. You'll probably have to label a diagram for your test."

{nah you're totally fine I mean, i don't personally care about it but whatever floats your boat. and besides. sometimes characters are just like that lol }

Zacky let out a soft laugh as Kaitlyn motioned toward her coffee. He gave an appreciative nod of his head as he opened Brian's science book to the page they had last been using. "Wish I woulda thought to grab coffee but I'm barely remembering to get here on time," he teased, flashing her a little grin as she began to look over his drawing. Zacky had admittedly not tried to put too much effort into it so he wasn't the least bit surprised when Kaitlyn said his attempt was less than impressive.

"Come on. You can say it's a shitty drawing of a eukaryote. Honestly, it's probably the worst damn drawing you've ever seen, hm?" Zacky said, raising an eyebrow as he studied Kaitlyn. A gentle smile had settled on his features and he turned his body so that he was facing her a bit more as she spoke. His face scrunched a bit at the mention of labeling the eukaryote. He honestly didn't remember the first thing about the damn thing so how was he was he supposed to label it?

Biting back a sigh, Zacky picked up his pencil and attempted to label it; vaguely remembering where a few of the items were properly placed while guessing at a few of the names and even leaving one spot blank because he honestly didn't have a single clue. Letting out a sigh, Zacky ran a hand through his hair. "I guess I really need to pay better attention in class, huh?" He asked, glancing up to Kaitlyn with a small frown.

[biology is my shit ]

Kaitlyn had been trying to tell Zacky his drawing was awful without actually telling him his drawing was awful, so she was glad when he came out and said it was shitty. At least he admitted it. "I'm surprised you remembered that it was called a eukaryote, to be completely honest," Kaitlyn teased. She barely even noticed the way Zacky turned to face her a little more, more focused on watching him as he attempted to label his drawing. It was almost painful to watch because Zacky obviously hadn't been paying attention in class at all. It seemed like Kaitlyn would have her work cut out for if she was going to help him pass.

"Not gonna lie, you definitely should," Kaitlyn said, taking the drawing back from Zacky. Looking it over, she quickly surmised that he barely would've scraped a low D if this were an actual test or quiz. "Tell you what," she started, reaching for his pencil. She started to erase his wrong answers. "I'm going to label the drawing for you. And then we'll go over it and you can study from this." Kaitlyn went through and labeled the drawing, glad that Zacky had at least the simple ones like the nucleus and cell membrane correct.

Kaitlyn was so caught up in explaining things to Zacky that she hadn't even realized how long they'd been in the library until her phone buzzed with a message from Michael, asking her where she was and if she wanted to get dinner. "Shit, I didn't realize how late it was," Kaitlyn said. "You're probably tired of listening to me babble on about cellular biology. But uh, go ahead and look over the drawing and next time we'll see if you can do a better job labeling the drawing yourself, okay? I'll see you later."

{all good. history is mine, so }

Zacky couldn't help but let out a soft laugh at Kaitlyn's little dig. He gave a nod of his head, jutting his bottom lip out. "You know what. That's fair, I couldn't really argue with that. If roles were reversed, I'd probably say the same damn thing to be fair," he said, leaning forward a bit more to look over his drawing. It was absolutely pathetic. While Zacky couldn't exactly pick out what was wrong with it or anything, he wasn't stupid enough to think that it was anywhere near perfect. In fact, it was probably one of the worst damn drawn eukaryotes ever done. He wouldn't be surprised.

Listening as much as he could, Zacky did his best to focus while Kaitlyn continued to tutor him throughout their little session. He smiled half heartedly, tilting his head to the side as he started to understand a bit more about what was going on. It was a little quirk of his, the more into something he was, the more his head tilted and the more he leaned into something. He'd been teased all his life about it but it was something that Zacky had never been able to shake.

Zacky looked over when Kaitlyn's phone buzzed and immediately, he had to bite back a sight. He eyed the message before looking away, biting down on his bottom lip. Being too angry over this could end up sour for him and that was not the first thing that he wanted to do. He ran a hand through his hair, sighing softly as he looked toward Kaitlyn.

"Yeah, yeah. Of course. I'll message you, we can get together in another day or two, yeah?" Zacky prompted, not wanting to leave their schedule completely open ended because then they could go a long while before getting back together again. The more time they were apart, the more difficult his little bet would end up being.

"Yeah and in the meantime, why don't you see if you can do a better job at labeling the drawing," Kaitlyn teased. "See if you can do it without the labels I did. I'll see you later." She offered Zacky a grin before she headed out of the library. As she walked across campus, she returned Michael's message, letting him know she was almost to her dorm and that she would be ready to leave in fifteen minutes. She was a little bit surprised that Michael actually wanted to go out; he was usually so busy with football and keeping his grades up so he could play football that the most they'd ever done was order in pizza or Chinese. But Kaitly was taking it as a sign of good faith.

"So uh, Tanner said he saw you in the library with Zacky Baker," Michael said, lifting a forkful of food to his mouth. "What's that about?"

"It's nothing you need to worry about," Kaitlyn told him. She knew where his train of thought was going. Everyone on campus knew what Zacky was known for and she was sure that was what Michael was worried about. "I'm just helping him out with his biology class. And I know it's mean, but he kind of needs it. That's really it, I promise. Nothing to worry about. You can trust me."

"I know I can trust you," Michael said. "It's Baker I need to watch."

For the first time in a long damn time, Zacky actually wanted to apply himself to his schoolwork. Well, to Brian's schoolwork but it was practically the same damn thing at this point. He let out a sigh once Kaitlyn was out of ear shot, running a hand through his hair. Stuffing the labeled drawing into his bag along with Brian's text book, Zacky started for his dorm. He tossed himself down on the bed after gathering a bag of pretzels and some iced tea for study time snacks.

Zacky laid down on his bed, opening the text book to the page that they'd been working on. Realizing it was already half way through the chapter, Zacky groaned as he dropped his head forward. He hesitated for a moment before flipping to the first page of the chapter and starting there. Next time that he met up with kaitlyn, he actually wanted to be able to talk about something in the book without being clueless.

{sorry this is on the shorter end. and also. can you give me something for me to have zacky say next time they meet up since you 100% know what you're talking about and i'm basically clueless lmao }

[tbh I can just imagine Zacky like, writing answers on the inside of a water bottle wrapper or something sneaky like that to try and make himself look smarter ]

Kaitlyn was originally just tutoring Zacky to get Bree off her back and because she honestly just enjoyed biology. But she was actually starting to enjoy their tutoring sessions, even if Zacky didn't seem to be picking up on much. She'd been worried that Zacky was only spending time with her to get into her pants but it didn't really seem like that at all. Because from what she'd heard, when Zacky Baker wanted to sleep with a girl, he slept with her. He didn't act like her friend and he certainly didn't ask her to tutor him in biology. And Zacky actually seemed nice. The next time Zacky messaged her asking her to study, Kaitlyn was prepared. She was already in line at the campus coffee shop and this time, she ordered Zacky a simple black coffee, since she wasn't really sure how he preferred his. She ordered herself an iced latte before heading for the library.

"Hey, I uh, I brought you a coffee," Kaitlyn said, sitting down next to Zacky at a table. "I wasn't sure how you took yours so I just ordered it black. So...let's see the drawing." She honestly wasn't expecting it to be too much better than the last time; it had only been a couple of days. So Kaitlyn was pleasantly surprised to find that her labels had been erased and replaced with mostly right answers. "Has Zacky Baker been studying?" Kaitlyn teased. She grinned. "Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. I know you've got to keep up your 'fuck school' reputation. Okay, so let's see what else you know. What's the difference between plant cells and animal cells?"

Kaitlyn was probably a little bit more excited to quiz Zacky than she should have been. Who knew, maybe it was because she knew for a fact that no one else had ever seen this side of him. And to his credit, it seemed like Zacky had actually been studying because he managed to give her a correct answer to her question "You know, I think you're actually going to do pretty good on your test," Kaitlyn said. "You'll pass, at least. But don't worry. By the end of the semester, I'll have you acing them."

[here's Zacky's answer to Kaitlyn's question: The plant cell has a cell wall, chloroplasts, plastids, and a central vacuole—structures not found in animal cells. Plant cells do not have lysosomes or centrosomes. ]

{same tho also. I ACTUALLY KNEW THAT ANSWER }

Zacky looked up when he heard footsteps approaching, a gentle smile settled on his features when he spotted Kaitlyn heading toward him. His smile fell, confusion etching itself across his features when he realized that she was carrying two drinks that appeared to be very different. With Kaitlyn's explanation, Zacky couldn't help but let an even bigger smile overtake his features. "Thank you," he said, reaching out to take the cup of coffee from Kaitlyn.

"I drink hot coffee black," Zacky offered with a nod of his head. He took a sip of the coffee, relaxing back in his seat. Turning his attention toward Kaitlyn, his face turned into a sudden scowl. "Is this just so you can jam more information into my skull without me falling asleep?" Zacky teased her, raising an eyebrow. Setting the coffee down, he produced his relabeled drawing of a eukaryote. He beamed when Kaitlyn complimented his efforts, clearing his throat to answer her question.

"The plant cell all has a cell wall, chloroplasts, plastids, and a central vacuole. Animal cells don't, they have lysosomes and centrasomes," Zacky answered her after a moment of thought, smacking his hand down on the table with a triumphant grin. "I've started paying a bit more attention in class," he said, sounding almost sheepish as he picked at the edge of his drawing's paper.

Zacky looked up, offering a lopsided grin. "Can't put all of your effort in tutoring me to waste, can I?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. "I know most people say I'm an asshole in one way or another but dam, that's just... straight up disrespectful. Not going to do that," Zacky murmured, shaking his head. His shoulders relaxed a bit as they began to get into their tutor session.

[]

"Well I was just trying to be nice but if that's your attitude, next time I'll just bring coffee for myself," Kaitlyn said, shooting Zacky a teasing grin. In the back of her mind, she couldn't shake the idea that Zacky might be flirting with her but she realized that was silly. If Zacky wanted to sleep with her, he would've tried a lot harder. And he certainly wouldn't be sitting here in the library with her studying biology. That wasn't the sort of reputation that Zacky Baker had. "Wow, you have been studying," Kaitlyn said. She was surprised that Zacky had gotten the answer right without looking at the book but at the same time, she almost felt like a proud parent. If she could have him passing his biology class by the end of the semester, she could do just about anything.

"Well I'm glad you think so highly of me and my time," Kaitlyn said. "And I'll make sure I don't waste your time, either." As they got into their tutoring session, Kaitlyn wasn't at all surprised that she got so caught up in the material that she lost track of time. It wasn't until her phone started buzzing with a phone call from Bree that she realized what time it was. "I think I've probably kept you here long enough," she said, looking over at Zacky. "I've probably bored you by now but I hope you've learned something useful. I'm going to head to the cafeteria to get dinner with Bree but we can catch back up with the tutoring session on Monday afternoon? I'm sure you don't want to spend your Saturday night studying plus there's a game tomorrow and I'm sure Bree and Michael will want to go to some sort of party afterward..."

Kaitlyn realized she was rambling and closed her mouth. She reached for her empty coffee cup and pushed to her feet. "And uh, you can message me if you have any questions in the meantime," she told Zacky. "But I'll see you later, okay?" Offering Zacky a small smile, Kaitlyn headed out of the library. In the cafeteria, it was easy to spot Bree at a table in the center of the room but she decided to grab her food before she sat down. "So I actually think I might be able to get Zacky to pass this class," Kaitlyn announced, sitting down across from Bree. "Not necessarily an A or anything, but he'll pass."

"So you're enjoying your time with Zacky, then?" Bree asked, her tone of voice sly. Kaitlyn just rolled her eyes, taking a bite of her noodles.

Zacky held up his hands in an attempt to offer peace as he flashed a small grin. "My sincere apologies, o' caffeine giver," he apologized, bowing his head just slightly. He lingered for a moment before dropping his hands, leaning back in his seat to get a bit more comfortable. Beginning to gather his supplies into his bag, Zacky started nodding when Kaitlyn mentioned Monday. He wasn't all that keen on getting together the day after a weekend but he wasn't going to say no because he knew he only had a short amount of time to spend with her before he lost his bet. Zacky wasn't the losing type.

"See you then, " Zacky bid Kaitlyn farewell before heading the opposite way that she went, toward the parking lot so that he could leave. He was going to skip the rest of the day, deciding that it wasn't worth attending the rest of his classes. It was no surprise to him when he called Brian and the other guitarist picked up the phone by the second ring, agreeing to skip out and head for pizza at a local joint.

The moment they sat down with a pizza to share between the two of them, Brian was harping on him about what had gone down between Zacky and Kaitlyn during their latest study session. For once, Zacky found himself not offering too much information. Instead, he laughed and nodded his head or shrugged his shoulders whenever Brian asked a question. Zacky didn't find the need to drag out every detail out there, not until something major actually happened.

Saturday morning, Kaitlyn was up bright and early. She wasn't exactly a big fan of football but she wanted to support Michael. She'd just started curling her hair when Bree rolled out of bed, mumbling something to Kaitlyn as she disappeared into the bathroom to shower. Bree had been out late the night before so it wasn't a stretch for Kaitlyn to deduce that she was a little hungover. And despite that fact, Bree would want to go out again tonight and would likely try and drag Kaitlyn along. And Michael would probably be in her ear to go out and party as well, especially if the football team won this afternoon.

"Lemme borrow your blow dryer," Bree said as she came out of the bathroom, rubbing a towel through her hair.

Kaitlyn wordlessly passed her the hair dryer, turning back to finish her hair. Glancing at her phone, she saw that it was just after ten o'clock. The football game didn't start until one, so that still left them with plenty of time to finish getting ready and maybe grab some lunch before they headed over. It was starting to get a little cold outside, so Kaitlyn might even pop over to the campus coffee shop. "Are you going out again tonight?" Kaitlyn asked, looking at Bree once the hair dryer had been turned off. Bree gave her the sort of grin that usually had Kaitlyn a little worried and the next words out of her friend's mouth made this time no different.

"Yeah, there's a party at Matt Sanders' apartment," Bree said. Kaitlyn rolled her eyes. She knew who Matt was. He was a sophomore on the football team with Michael and a good friend of Zacky's. "You should come with me!"

"You know I don't like parties."

"Oh, you say that every time," Bree said. "It's college. Live a little! Zacky and all his hot friends will be there, too."

It wasn't that Zacky necessarily wanted to go to the football game, it wasn't something that he was really into. He would much rather watch a baseball game, any day of the week but it was the aftermath parties that Zacky would certainly want to partake in. THere was never anything quite like a victory party after a college football win, Zack had witnessed that the first time that their team won after he had started at college. The party had just about blown his damn mind, he hadn't quite been able to believe what was happening. That night was still a blur to him, the bits and pieces that he knew about were from stories that he had been told about. That was it.

Brian smirked as he stepped into Zacky's room, crossing his arms when he saw that Zacky was still laying in bed. "Wake the fuck up! We have to go to the game! Besides, you have to go because not only is the party going to be amazing but then you get to see Kaitlyn. You get to pull some moves on her if you ever want the chance at winning our little bet," Brian paused, a thoughtful look developing on his features. "Bet her pussy's tight, too. She's probably not going to have the slightest idea of what to do. She might be boring..."

Zacky groaned, lifting his head long enough to pick up a pillow and toss it at Brian. "Dude. Shut up. You'll be the first one to know when something happens. Not if, when," Zacky cemented, moving to push to his feet. He let out a sigh, stretching his arms above his head. He let out a satisfied sigh as his bones cracked back into place.

"Give me ten minutes. I'll get ready then we can head out for lunch before the game," Zacky stated, waiting until Brian had left the room before he began to get ready.

"Oh my God, if I go, will you stop bothering me?" Kaitlyn huffed. She could act like she'd never planned to go the afterparty but between Bree and Michael, she'd known all along there was no way she was going to be able to get over it. Bree grinned, nodding enthusiastically, and Kaitlyn rolled her eyes. "Well hurry up, then. I want to grab lunch and some coffee before we head to the game. It at least another thirty minutes before Bree decided she looked presentable enough for lunch and Kaitlyn knew she would want to come back to change after the game. Honestly, Kaitlyn would probably wear what she had on right now; it wasn't like she was out to impress anyone.

Heading to one of the local Mexican restaurants before the game had almost become like a tradition for Bree and Kaitlyn. The food was good and it was cheap, which was great for college students. And it wasn't uncommon to run into other students from the college, which was why Kaitlyn wasn't really all that surprised to see Zacky and his friend Brian stroll through the front door of the restaurant not long after she and Bree had taken their seats in a booth off to the side. Kaitlyn tried to act like she hadn't seen them in hopes that Bree wouldn't either but the other girl had seen Kaitlyn's eyes flicker towards the door and she turned around to see who had come inside.

"Hey look, Zacky's here!" Bree said, grinning at Kaitlyn. "We should ask him and Brian to sit with us."

"Bree, please don't--"

"Hey Zacky!" Bree called out. She waved the boys over when they finally realized who was shouting at them. "Come sit with us. We haven't even ordered our drinks yet." Bree scooted over in the booth, likely purposefully ignoring the glare Kaitlyn was giving her. "Brian, you can sit next to me." Which of course left Kaitlyn sitting next to Zacky, which she was sure was Bree's intention.

Zacky was standing at the front door, waiting to be sat, with Brian when he heard his name being called by an unfamiliar voice. His brows furrowed as Brian and he looked at each other before glancing behind them, almost in synchronization. A grin broke out on his features when he spotted Bree who was waving at them. Brian's smile matched Zacky's and before Zacky could even think about it too much, Brian was urging him in the girls' direction.

"Kinda looks like this was fate, huh?" Brian teased under his breathe, patting Zacky's shoulder just as they reached the table. Zacky damn near had to hold back a groan when Bree urged Brian to sit beside him. He could already hear the ribbing that he was going to receive from Brian after they parted ways - about why it was taking him so long to sleep with Kaitlyn. Huffing to himself, Zacky offered an award winning smile as he slid into the booth beside Kaitlyn.

"This place has the best mexican food around," Zacky groaned, leaning back in his seat. He glanced toward Kaitlyn, offering a faux frown. "My only complaint is that they aren't open that late. I mean, c'mon. They're in a college town... don't they realize they'd make a lot more money if they stayed open late on the weekends? A bunch of drunk college kids would flood this place," Zacky said with a soft laugh. Their waitress appeared a few moments late and Zacky was quick to order a coke and his usual when he came here - the loaded nachos with all the traditional toppings of a taco paired with a chargrilled chicken. He also ordered a side of rice because was it really a good Mexican meal without the side rice? Zacky wasn't sure.

"Are you guys going to the after party?" Brian piped up, raising an eyebrow as he glanced toward Bree then Kaitlyn, back and forth.

"We are," Zacky amended, giving a quick nod of his head. "Gotta celebrate when our teams wins, don't we?" It was, after all, half of the college experience.
