Zack follows his instincts.

Zack decided to follow his instincts. Weirdly enough, both his instincts and his heart were trying to point him down the path to the rock outcropping. Beginning to walk down the path, he let his mind flow to Chloe.

He thought about whether or not he was actually in love with her, and thought of all of the things they had done together. The wrestling and mud baths, the camping trips and sleepovers, the talks of their insecurities and crushes, Zack wouldn't have missed those for the world, and he thought of what he would've been without her, and in his mind he couldn't see a life without her. “Maybe...just maybe, I am in love with her,” Zack thought. He still had his doubts though.

He grew closer and closer to the outcropping when he spotted someone up near the edge. Zack noticed the unmistakable red hair of Chloe. She spotted him and waved in his direction to come up. Zack couldn't ignore her at this point, especially now that she saw him.

Zack reached the outcropping and began to climb up. It wasn't difficult by any means, but Zack was still slightly winded by the time he reached the top. He looked towards Chloe and what he saw amazed him.

Chloe was still looking out over the view. The view was amazing, it had a great view of the entire lake, all of the cabins surrounding the lake, many of the other landmarks around it, and even the small town nearby, but the view wasn't what awestruck him. No, it was Chloe. The sunlight was hitting her at the right spot to make it seem like she was glowing, the wind whipped her baggy shirt around her, showing off some of her curves, and her hair, despite being in a ponytail, was in a mess, which still made her look more beautiful than normal.

“Okay, maybe I am in love,” Zack thought to himself after he managed to gather his thoughts.

“Hey sleepyhead,” Chloe teased, “Look at this awesome view!” Chloe's large smile dominated her face as she spread her arms like she was ready to fly.

Zack joined her side, “I think I can see out houses from here,” Chloe punched him in the shoulder with a laugh.

“Funny, funny, smartass.”

“So, what are you doing up here, and where is everyone else?” Zack inquired.

“We all went our separate ways, no one else wanted to come climb this thing, so I went by myself,” Chloe remarked, “You know, you could've had time with Victoria all alone. Why didn't you call Gavin?”

Zack shrugged, “I really just followed my instinct. If I would've found her, I would've found her.”

“You are SO hopeless,” Chloe shook her head before turning back to the view.

Zack wasn't sure if it was the time to tell her about his new found epiphany on her. He wasn't sure if she would take it that well, but if he didn't say anything he may burst out at the wrong moment.
