Long hard thinking put me out to sleep that day. The next day at school was boring as usual. What was exciting was what happened after school.

"Oh my god it's her!" I heard a girl yell as I was walking in town, I turned around to 3 girls running towards me.

"I saw you on Q's Instagram! Are you his girlfriend?"

"Oh uh no.." I lied

"How do you know him!? I see you in school sometimes and I never knew if that was you or not."

"Long story." I lied again because it wasn't very long at all. He was my neighbor.

"Oh well can we be friends?" asked the other girl.

"Sure." I said awkwardly because they only wanted to get close to me to get close to the guys.

"Yay great! See ya around bestie!" she said

I kept walking. Man desperate girls these days. I decided to not drive to school today instead I walked, which now that I think of it was a horrible idea. After about 20 minutes of walking I was home. My mom was at her desk that was in the family room.

"Zoe is that you?" she asked

"Yeah." I answered back

"Oh good come in here for a moment."

"What's up?" I asked taking a seat at the nearby couch.

"Have you thought about college?" She asked. I groaned.

"Ugh not this again."

"Zoey seriously you're a senior! You need to focus on this."

"Fine yea NYU and Brooklyn college."

"What are you going to study?"

"I don't know."

"Zoey!"

"Fine... Hmm I love fashion so I guess fashion."

"Do they have that there?"

"I... I don't know." My mom gave me a disappointed look.

"Fine maybe I can apply to those and also another school... A fashion designing school!" I said with actual excitement.

"Yay we're on the right track. I'll get the applications for those 2 and then look for the best fashion schools online."

"Alright." I yawned.

Honestly I didn't really want to go to college but I guess I have to. I really didn't want to leave Q, atleast not now! I finally met my idols and I'm dating one of them!! I can't just leave... Not now! Not ever! I could finally be happy and I don't want that ray of sunshine to get covered by stormy clouds. I looked outside it was sunny. Guess my ray of sunshine was still there. I had no homework so I left my backpack on the floor near the front door.

"Mom I'm gonna go to Brian's, see ya later." I said.

I walked outside and ran across the street. Wait was he even home? I need to start checking but oh well. I rang the door bell.

"Hey." Q answered

"Hey!" I said in excitement

"Come in." I did as he said. Benjamin and Brooklyn ran over to me. I crouched down to pet them.

"They already love you, almost as much as I do." said Q

"Haha that was cheesy." I stood up

"Was it?" He smirked and pulled me close to his body.

"Yes it was." I giggled as he grabbed my neck.

"Found your tickle spot."

"Damn it." He pulled me close again.

"Want to know mine? Then you'll have to get much closer." He whispered.

"Bad Q!" I playfully hit him, he grabbed my hands and pushed me up against the wall and started to kiss me. First at then neck then to my lips. Took about 5 minutes before he pulled away.

"Oops." He pointed to my neck, I walked over to the mirror on the wall in the living room.

"Oh god." I looked at my neck. He left his love bite. A hickey.

"Sorry." He laughed

"I'll get back at you and that's a promise."

"Sureee." I playfully punched him and walked into the kitchen.

"Yea I guess make yourself at home then."

"Haha already done." I sat down at a chair in the kitchen and opened the water bottle I took out of the fridge. He sat down across from me.

"You better let me do the same at your house." He said

"Maybe." I took a sip.

"Ahh refreshing."

"So was there a reason you happened to come over or...?"

"Nope just missed you that's all."

"Aw."

"Yeah and I don't want to think about colleges anymore." I said

"Why? College was great for me!"

"Yeah I want to go to the same one you went to or NYU but then my mom made me think and I might want to go to a fashion school."

"That's great!"

"Yea but no. I will be away from you! I can't do that."

"I know it's tough but we will video chat and stuff."

"Long distance relationships never work."

"I had a long distance relationship once." said Q

"Yea and where is she now?"

"Oh..."

"Exactly. Ugh I just won't go."

"No Zoey! You have to! I will support you like you support me. I want you to do what makes you happy."

"But what makes me happy is staying here with you."

"You'll regret it afterwards."

"You would've been doing the same thing you are now, even if you didn't go to college. I bet you!"

"Please Zoey. Do this for me."

"Fine but don't regret this later on, I know I will."
