Skyler returned home after dropping Eula off, they had not taken the car as Eula was feeling very uncomfortable sitting inside it, he later suggested walking since it was a 10 minutes walk away from his house to the Clifton's
{I never knew you could write such a beautiful letter, I feel so much emotions just reading through it } Zack who read through the letter Roosevelt wrote to him was dramatically whipping the corner of his eyes
{shut up, i was always a good English student okay, writing a letter isn't a big deal } Roosevelt was not buying his silly remarks
{it is a big deal, this is the first time I got a letter from someone I like } he replied as he stroke the beautiful paper feeling a little sad cause he knew she wouldn't get the point
{seriously! so Penelope never wrote to you} Roosevelt said with a questioning gaze
{ummm if a three passage break up message on WhatsApp counts...then yes she did write to me} Zack wore a silly grin on his face
{silly...} she slapped his shoulder
{ahh....ahh} he held the spot she slapped and cried out
{don't be noisy, you deserved more beating, Penelope was a good girl but you never appreciated her or her love for you}
{how so!} okay at this point he was lost, he never appreciated Penelope, why would Roosevelt think so
Penelope Perkins was Zack's girlfriend from freshman year in highschool, she was a grade higher than them
Penelope was beautiful and very active that being why she was on the school's cheerleading squard, did she love Zack yes very much, did Zack reciprocate this feelings yes but not to the extent of Penelope's demands, she always complained about his relationship with Roosevelt, she even tried using her status in the cheer team to bully Roosevelt, maybe just maybe he would see that Roosevelt was nothing compared to her instead, Zack felt irritated and they got into a big fight,
Penelope's friends had advised her to initiate a breakup, that if her really loved her, he would apologize and ask her to come back, she spent so much time into writing the message she sent to him on WhatsApp but things never went as planned as he only replied with "I understand" she was so mad that she blocked him but she was still angry so she looked for Roosevelt and blabbed exaggerated nonsense to her about Zack and his nonchalant ways in this relationship
Roosevelt felt it was non of her business what happens in Zack's relationship so she never confronted him directly about the situation up untill today
{so that was what she told you...}
{is it a lie she was broken when she came looking for me....and....}
{that's enough what ever Penelope and I had is over now we don't have to talk about it} Zack was a lot irritated knowing that Penelope had spat all sought of lies to Roosevelt, he was not even the list bit interested in explaning what really happened
{Penelope is a thing of the past and today is my birthday we should only talk about happy things} he smiled as he stood up and walked to the music player at the side of the living room
soon the sweet tone of Pink Sweat$ "At my worst" could be heard, this was Roosevelt newest favorite song
"can I call you baby
can you be my friend
can you be my lover up untill the very end
let me show you love, oh no pretend
stick by my side even when the world is caving in"
{ha....} Roosevelt giggled when she heard the song, Zack knew exactly how to lift her spirit
he stretched his hands towards her and she took it
the two of them where in each other's embrace as they swayed their body to the beat and sang along to the music
"I need somebody who could love me at my worst
no am not perfect but I hope you see my worth
cause it's only you nobody new I put you first and for you girl I swear I'd do the worst
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh..."
Skyler who just arrived saw the scene in front of him, he smiled and quietly retreated to his bedroom
his silly brother was in love

Zack drove Roosevelt home afterwards
{good night and happy birthday once again} Roosevelt said waving at him as she walked into her house
{thank you and good night} Zack stood beside his car and watch her till she was out of sight his birthday ended very well...
