I take out my phone and check the time, 12:23 pm. Means I have more like two hours before I'd leave from this hell hole aka school.
"In a hurry?" Emily asked while sitting beside me with her legs tucked up on the lunch table. She takes a sip from her strawberry shake and waits for me to continue.
"Nope, it's nothing." I shake my head as I kept bouncing my knees up and down, totally impatient. It is lunch time and I'm here with the group like the other days. Emily, Gabby, Eric, Tyler, Felicia and Matt. All of them are busy talking about some new songs and stuffs but I had no tiny interest in their topic.
All I was just thinking when I'd go to that hotel and try finding Johnny. I was debating with myself if I should take Emily with me or not. But then didn't go with the plan at the thought that her reply would be, 'Come on Kenzie! Why are you getting so mad for only a pornstar? What would even happen if you meet him? Moreover, there's 0.000001℅ chance of you to meet him.' And blah blah blah.
The one thing she doesn't know that Johnny isn't only a pornstar to me. Maybe people usually don't fan girl over pornstars...but I'm different! So?!
Without staying there any longer I scoop up my backpack from the floor and sprint out of the cafeteria. While thinking of going outside for some fresh air, I hear my name echoing through the empty hallway.
"Kenz!" Eric smiles as I turn back to him. For a moment I felt like running away but didn't. I don't know why but nowadays I feel suffocated to stay with him. Probably it started after the day I met Johnny.
"Yes?" I push out a smile and after cutting the gap between us, he tucks my hair behind.
"Are you fine? You seem different nowadays." His face was in a concerned tone. He rubs his thumb on my cheek and I didn't have the urge to lean my face against his palm.
"I'm absolutely fine." With the smile still on my face, I reply. It'd be great if I go with the flow and he'd himself walk away.
He plays a soft smile on his lips and leans in to match our lips. I didn't budge and kissed him back. After a small peck, he chirped, "So... I was thinking of taking you out this evening. Be ready?"
I feel my heart dropping for his sentence. Oh no, it can't be happening. I have to go and search for Johnny. "Sorry but I can't..."
There was a wave of disappointment on Eric's face after hearing me. Tensely, he replied, "Why?"
"I'm just not feeling like to Eric." I quietly said. "Please."
"That's the thing I was talking about Mac, are you really fine? You're changed. You're not yourself anymore. I know how much you loved going to dates.." He mumbled and bit his lower lip.
"It's not anything like that. I just don't want to."
"Or there's something else you're hiding from me?" He interrogated.
"What do mean?" I let our a fake chuckle.
"I mean, is there someone else? And that's why you're avoiding me?" He raised his brows.
Haha, yeah there is! My imaginary boyfriend Johnny Vincent Orlando! "Come on Eric, don't think like this. Why would I cheat on you?" I lightly push him back.
"You know there are a lots of girls whom I can date. But I'm still with you Mackenzie and how could you-"
"If there's a lot other girls then go date them if you don't like me!" I cut him off with a yell, "And I'm not gonna repeat again Eric, I am not with anyone else!"
"I'm with you cause I love you!" He lightly shakes me and continues quietly. "But I'm feeling like you don't love me anymore..."
"I do love you Eric." I mumble. Don't lie Mackenzie, let him go. You know that you've lost your feelings for him.
As I close my eyes he continues, "Then what's wrong with you?" He brushes my hair behind my back.
"I just..." I let out a breath. "I need some space Eric." I pull myself out of his grip and without even looking up at him once, turn back to walk away.
"Why can't you just tell me what's wrong Mac?" I hear him mumbling as I fasten my pace to get out of the place.

"It's stupid.", a part of my head said.
"No it's absolutely fine!", the other part continued.
"Just stop it." I groan as I shake my head. And then, I understood that I was here and stopped my feet from walking.
The hotel was large, a five star one. I usually don't get chances to chill in a five star hotel cause my family barely goes to any trip. So, this hotel is surely looking like a heaven to me.
I let out a breath. Just go in Mackenzie...and before I could understand anything, I was already in.
There were barely any people in the lobby, but I'm sure there are tons of in the rooms. Staffs and receptionists seemed like they're ready 24/7 to help anyone. Too bad that they're doing it for money, or nowadays who helps anyone for nothing?
Then it hits my head that I can't just go and ask the receptionist that in which room Johnny is in. Cause if I tell them I'm here to meet him, they'd surely call him by the intercom and Johnny of course didn't expect any guest named Mackenzie Ziegler.
Also, I can't just knock on every single room and ask if Johnny's in there. There are at least hundreds of rooms in this place. And when the CCTV would see that I'm knocking on every single room, the security guard wouldn't even take one second to kick me out.
And Johnny can... wait, what if I can't check the rooms? Or can't ask the receptionist? I can search him outside the rooms! And people always don't stay in their room, so what's the problem to test my luck?!
But little did I know I have an unlucky ass, after searching him for like one straight hour, no sign of him. I checked every floors, cafeteria, the swimming pool... nowhere.
I'm sure he must be in the bar - where the staffs won't let me get access cause I'm under eighteen, in his room or outside the hotel. I'm unlucky, I know...
Defeated, I was about to get out of the hotel before my eyes drop on a specific place. It was a restaurant, big hotels usually does have this kind of classy restaurants inside it. I didn't check there, so...should I?
Without I can even get it, my feet walks my body towards it. As soon as I was about to get in, a voice spoke,
"Sorry ma'am but you need a reservation to go in." A boy standing outside in a waiter's uniform was the one to say that. Is he a waiter? Or maybe he's the receptionist.
"Uh-" oh no, how would I go in? "Actually my boyfriend-" I choke on air, did I really say that?! "is waiting for me in there so.."
"You sure your boyfriend has a reservation, ma'am?" He genuinely asked.
"Of course." I say in confidence and he let me in.
As soon as I stepped into the restaurant, I was mesmerized by the interior design. It was gorgeous. Most of the customers here were couples and I felt really awkward cause everyone were dressed up so good. And me, a high schooler, in her usual clothes. A hoodie and jeans.
I look around the place, it was huge plus dark. Oh God, where would I find him? What if he's not even here? I'm thousand percent sure that I won't find hi-
And then a figure bumps into me from behind and I turn back to see who's it. I rubbed my eyes at the scene and when I was really about to slap myself, the guy spoke,
"Sorry." He tucked his phone in his pocket and walked past me. I literally was about to fall on the floor and cry out loud. Oh God, he really is here! Also, Johnny f*****g Orlando bumped into me!
But then when I was about to go and ask him for a picture, I saw his figure sitting beside a girl, it was Kelsey. Why didn't I notice her before?
And without any delay, he crashes his lips on his girlfriend's one, sending a heat of jealousness down my spines. Kelsey lets out a giggle after pulling back from him and he shoved his hands behind her back, continuously licking and kissing on her bare shoulder.
I furrow my eyebrows. Why is he doing it in public- oh wait, what am I even thinking? He does pornography, duh.
I had the hugest urge to go and stop them by asking him for a picture, but then thought what if he gets angry? He surely is having a good time there...
But then when I see them making there kiss session deeper, I think of taking steps to go to him. If they literally start to f**k right here or leave the restaurant to go up to there suite, it's never possible.
I let out a breathe. Kenzie, it's now or never. Just go!
