Chapter 16
Zac and his brothers woke up at 10:00 the next morning. They got dressed, ate breakfast, and watched some cartoons. Then they got on their bikes and rode to the park to meet the others at 11:30.
When they got to the park, Zellary was the only one there. She was dressed in all black.
"Zel, we're trying to get Jill to confess, not robbing a bank," said Taylor.
"But we do have to hide from Jill," said Zellary.
"Whatever," said Taylor.
Shortly, Ronnie and Marc came. Zac took his position at the park gate, and the others went to hide behind a nearby bathroom buliding.
Soon Zac saw Jill approaching. When she got to the gate, she said, "What do you want?"
"I need to talk to you," said Zac. "Let's go sit an that bench."
Zac and Jill walked over to a bench that was strategically close to the bathrooms so that the others could hear.
"What is it?" asked Jill.
"Well, yesterday I got a letter from Zellary. She left me for Taylor, Jill. In the letter she said that I would be better off with you."
"And?"

"Guys, shhh!" I said. "I'm trying to head them!"
"Did he just say the she let me fool Taylor on the hill?" Ronnie asked.
"I don't know," I said.
"Let me see them," said Taylor and he leaned over me to peek around the corner.
"Taylor, be careful! I almost lost my balance!"
"Sorry."
"Now I wanna see!" said Ike and he too leaned over me. That was too much for me. I lost my balance and landed on the ground with a thud. This caused Ike to fall om top of me.
Jill headr us and turned around. "Zac, what are they doing here?"
"We know your secret, Jill," I said. "Ronnie, Marc, Tay, you may as well come out. She saw us."
"What secret?" asked Jill.
"You know, the letters."
"How did you know?"
"I saw your name on the back of the letters," said Isaac.
"You have good eyesight. I can't even read that tiny print," said Jill.
"Why'd you do it?" asked Zac.
"Well, I've had a crush on you for a year or more. Then my dad's company transfered him to Tulsa, so I was hoping that I would get to meet you. Then when I saw you that day at the mall, you said that you had a girlfriend, and then I met Zel.
"At first I had nothing against her personally, I just hated the fact that you had a girlfriend and it wasn't me. Then me and Zel were in the same homeroom and, by the way, I didn't plan that. I tried to be your friend, but I must have tried too hard and come off phony, because then you hated me. That made me hate you.
"A few weeks later I found your journal in our locker and read it. When I read the part about Taylor, I got the idea for the letters. I did it to get revenge on Zel for not trying to be my friend. That's my story."
"Jill, can I ask you something?" asked Zac.
"Okay."
"Were you really walking your dead dog Princess that night?"
"No, but I do have a dead dog named Princess."
"Oh."
"Guys, I'm really sorry for the letters. I ment it as a sorta joke. I didn't mean to hurt you this badly," said Jill.
"Appology accepted," I said.
"Me too," said Zac.
"Me three," said Taylor.
"Me four," said Ike.
"What did I do to you?" asked Jill.
"I had to listen to these two yell at each other when the letters came," said Ike pointing at Tay and Zac. Everyone laughed.
"You know, Jill, you're not that bad," I said.
"Thanks."
"Hey, guys. There's a dance for home school kids tonight. You're all too young, and we're only suposto bring one guest each, but how bout it? Do y'all wanna go?" asked Ike.
"Okay!" I said.
"Sure," said Ronnie.
"Whatever," said Marc.
"Jill, you're invited too," said Ike.
"Oh, okay!" said Jill.
"Now all we gotta do is get Taylor to go," Ike said and gave Taylor a look.
"Okay, I'll go," Taylor said.
"Good. Meet at our house at 6:30," said Ike.
"Sounds good. Bye everyone! See you tonight!" I said as we got on our bikes and went our separate ways. Ronnie and I went one way, and everyone else went another.
"Ronnie," I said as we were biking.
"What?"
"What should I wear?"
