Watt-pad! Welcome back!
Okay, you can call me an awful Author again.. I just couldn't get the hang of this chapter, because I wanted it to be perfect.
I had to rewrite it twice.
And yes, this is the last chapter. :( There's still an Epilogue, and a special chapter left, but this is the last actual chapter. :(((
Time to say bye to Soppie, Gabriel, and Zack. :'(
I thank everyone of you who has stuck with me.. Even when I didn't upload as much as I should. You guys are really the best fans anyone could have.
Well, I have to go.. Don't forget to vote and comment!
Thanks.
-Shelby. :)

~Chapter Twenty Seven~
~Sophie's P.O.V.~
"Sophie, what are you doing?"
In your life, has there ever been a time where you wish you could freeze time, and run away while everyone is froze? Well, that's what I was wishing at this moment.
Why now?
"Sophie.. How could you kiss him?" Eli asks me when I don't respond to his question, growing angrier.
"I.."
El crosses his arms over his chest, and I feel growing guilt in the pit of my stomach. "You, what? You were cheating on me?"
I look up at Zack, and he's looking down at me intensly, waiting for me to answer.
"I, um.." I stutter.
"Yes?"
I sigh and look up at the ceiling before saying quietly. "Yes, I cheated, and I'm sorry. I love Zack, Eli." I look back to Eli. "I liked you too, I really did. Please forgive me"
Eli stares at me, and then his eyes flicker over to Zack. "You just had to, didn't you? You always get the girl. You can't let me have her."
I scoff.
I'm not someones prize.
"What are you talking about?" Zack asks, confused. "I love her. Of course I'm going to try everything in my power to get her."
Eli takes a step closer. "But, you knew that I liked her, if not loved her. You just wanted to take her away from me."
Zack lays a hand on my shoulder. "That isn't true. I'm sorry that you had to find out this way.. But-"
"No," He interrupts Zack. "I-"
"Hey." Zack re-interrupts him, his voice rising, that way Eli will stop talking. "I really think you need to settle down. You're making this out to be worse than what it really is."
Eli makes a face. "Really? I just caught, Sophie," He gestures to me with his hand. "Kissing you, when she's supposed to be my girlfriend. Are you saying that I'm not supposed to be upset? Just shut up Zack, and leave us alone."

Zack looks down at me, asking with his eyes if I want him to leave, and I nod my head. "Let me talk to him."
I do feel guilty, and I do really like Eli. I don't want him to hate me, so I need to ask him for forgiveness.
It is my fault after all.
Zack sighs, and leaves the Gym, walking very slow.
As soon as he leaves, I sigh, and gesture for us to sit down on the floor, since there aren't any seats around.
"Look, Eli." I start. I don't know all that I'm going to say, but I'll try my best. "I'm sorry. I... I shouldn't have kissed him back, but I did. I know that you probably will never forgive me, but this is the best I can do."
He looks down at the floor, and it's quiet for a while.
If I never met Zack, I would probably really like Eli. But, I have no choice.. My heart didn't choose him. Some girl is going to be lucky having Eli, as a boyfriend.
Without looking up, Eli whispers. "Why him?"
My eyes close, and Zack's smiling face pops into my head, and I automatically smile. "Because, I love him."
I open my eyes, and Eli's staring right at me. "I guess there's nothing I can do about that."
"No," I crack a half of a smile. "You can't."
He chuckles quietly, and stands up. "Well, as long as he makes you happy, I'm happy."
I smile, stand up, and I give him a big, friendly, hug. "I still want to be friends. I mean, we don't have to hate each other."
It takes him a few seconds, but he hugs me back, and then lets me go. "Maybe. It may take me some time to get over such a pretty girl as you."
My cheeks turn pink, and I laugh. "Oh, yeah, sure. You'll find someone who's perfect for you, and then you'll thank me for breaking up with you."
He opens his mouth to speak, but before he can say anything, the bell that dismisses us, rings, causing us both to jump.
"Well," He says. "I guess I better get going. I'm sure Zack, is probably very worried about what we're doing in here."
A picture of Zack standing with his ear to the door, pops in my head, and I laugh. "Yeah, he probably is. Thanks for not being so mad."
His face turns a little rigid again, but he bites his lip, and nods his head, not saying anything back.
I shouldn't have said that last part... I think he finally forgot about it, but I had to bring it up again.
"Bye, Eli." I say softly.
He smiles a small smile. "Bye."
I walk past him, excited to get out, because it was starting to turn awkward.
When I open the door, Zack is just standing there with his eyes closed. "Zack?"
As soon as he hears my voice, his eyes open wide, and he smiles. "So?"
"So..." I smile a huge smile, and I give him two thumbs up. "We're good."
Zack chuckles, and grabs me up into a big hug. "I love you, Princess."
I wrap my arms around him, and hug him back, loving the warmth of his arms. "I love you too."
He pulls back quickly, his face lit up, and he puts one of his hands on my cheek. "I have a question to ask you."
My eyebrows raise.
A question?
"Yes?"
He clears his throat. "Will you be mine? Sophie, will you be my girlfriend?"
I giggle, and nod my head up and down. "Of course I'll be your girlfriend. There's nothing more that I want to be."
"Yes!" Zack leans in to kiss me, but before our lips touch, an annoying voice inturrupts.
"No making out in the hallway, Love birds."
"Gabriel, shut up." I tell him, my face burning. "Get a girlfriend."
Gabe smirks, and winks at me. "Oh, I'm planning on it."
I look at him surprised. "You are?"
"He likes, Julia." Zack announces, his eyebrows wiggling.
I can't help it.. I smirk. "Julia and Gabe, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-"
Gabe covers my mouth with his hand. "Hey, there's no need for that."
I lick his hand, and he quickly takes his hand away from my mouth. "Yeah there is.. You started it."
"I did not." He argues back.
"You did too.. With the making out comment." I stick my tongue out at him, and Gabe looks at Zack.
"Can't you shut your girlfriend up?" He asks, Zack.
Zack smirks. "Of course I can."
"No you-" I'm interrupted by Zack's lips on mine, and I smile against his lips.
"Okay, maybe you can." I tell him, once we pull away.
He smiles, then leans in and kisses me again.
Life sure is surprising sometimes... One day you can be a nerd, the next you can be the hottie of the school.
Maybe you can sometimes have both..
I guess that's called, A Nerds Romance.
