Hesitation

"What the hell is Heather trying to do here? Doesn't she have another thermometer?" Zack thought. He paced around the kitchen trying to think of something to do. He finally decided to walk to Heather's room. He stood outside the room and slowly knocked on the door. A few seconds later, Victoria opened the door.

"Hi Zack! Can I help you with something?" asked Victoria.

"Umm, can I talk to Heather?" Zack replied.

"Sure." Victoria walked back into her room and Zack could hear whispering in there. Victoria came back out, "Heather said to wait a moment. She's changing. So, what did you want to talk about? What's that in your hands?"

Zack's faced flushed red quickly and stammered out a reply, "Oh, umm, it's something for Chloe. She is kinda sick and I need to ask Heather about something?" Thankfully, Heather came to the door and saw Zack. Her face broke out into almost a predatory grin as she asked Zack, "What's up? Can I help you with something?"

"Yea, do you have any other type of thermometer? I feel this is kind of inappropriate..."

"Nope. The rest of the thermometers got thrown away because Kurt broke all of them a couple of months ago. He thought it was a great idea to play basketball in the kitchen with a couple of friends. I hope Chloe feels better though."

Heather closed the door in Zack's face as he heard giggles inside the room.

Zack reluctantly walked back to his room and decided to just go through with it. Chloe is sick and he needs to help her.
