Z.P.H A Rebirthed Love Story

Chapter 1: He Kissed Me

==•==•==Zevs POV==•==•==

"Can you believe it, Zev the most popular boy at this school, hanging out with an Emo and a f*g" the boy said, gesturing towards the mentioned trio. At those words the group laughed, making them unaware of my presence as I strode up to the group.

A simple "ahem" escaped my lips as I stood in front of the group of douchebags, currently unaware of my presence.

"Oh Zev, nice to see you finally escaped from those losers" the first guy said "So what are your plans for the evening after practice is over, I heard Kensie's throwing a party and your invited".

I stared the idiot down for a minute before saying " I have no plans for this evening, and I have no intention of attending Kensie's party. But that's not why I'm here. This is your only warning, if I find out that you're talking shit about my friends EVER again, I will kill you. This goes for all of you."

He simply stared at me shocked for the next few moments before retorting back "Why do you care so much about that emo loser and stupid f*g Zev, if you truly cared about your reputation you'd... "

Not caring to let him finish, I punched him in the head, and then continued to punch him as I said between punches "Never. Talk. Shit. About. My. Friends. Again."

After some time had passed, which wasn't that long, I was being pulled off his bloodied form.

I spun around to see who pulled me off him, only to come face to face with the principal, my friends standing just behind him.

"And what the actual hell do you think you're doing here Zevadiah? You know this will negatively impact your sports career." the principal said, clearing his throat after.

I took a few breaths before saying "I don't know what came over me sir. He was bad mouthing about my friends, even after I asked him to stop, and I lost control. Can this please not go on record, I'll be ruined if it does. "

"You can thank your little friend Patrick here," he said as he shot a glance towards Pat "Because of him, this won't go on your record, but you'll have to do after school detention to make up for it. Except for on practice days. Don't do this again though, cause I won't be lenient with you a second time." After that he walked off.

Harry opened his mouth and started to belittle me, before I interrupted him to say "Yeah yeah I know... ", before Pat interrupted me to say " Don't threaten to kill people Zev, that's how you get arrested, and not even I can help you if that happens."

I simply nodded, and we went back to chatting right as the late bell rang.

"Oh shit," Pat said "I'll walk y'all to class, so that you don't have to worry about getting in trouble."

"You rely on your dads name to much Pat," I said "what if something were to happen. You'd lose all the power and respect you have from this school."

He simply nodded, and we began to walk, before he stopped again and said "Zev, your practice today is cancelled. Coach doesn't feel like telling y'all, and left a note outside the field for y'all to find after school."

Awkward silence followed, before I asked "and how do you know that?", to which he simply responded with a shrug and said " I just do."

We continued to walk, before Harry stopped, looked Pat right in the eyes, and said "Wait in the front office for your dad to come pick you up today Pat. I have this feeling that you're gonna get kidnapped or something if you wait outside."

Pat simply looked at him shocked, before nodding.

We continued walking, but in silence. I felt awkward standing between the two. Eventually we reached my class, and I knocked on the door.

My teacher opened the door, and asked immediately "and why are you late Zev? Go to choice".

Pat popped into view, pushing me aside and said " I'm sorry he's late sir, he ran into the principal, and got into a lengthy conversation with him about Zev's career, and completely forgot that he had a class to get to. The principal sent me along to tell you this." I simply nodded in agreement with this lie that Pat had spun.

The teacher looked at me and him, skeptic before saying "Fine, just get in and sit down."

I walked in, before looking back to mouth "thanks" to Pat, and then went to sit down.

==•==•==Pats POV==•==•==

As we walked away from Zev's class, Harry and I started talking about the most absurd things, before he stopped me about halfway to his class and said "Can I tell you something Pat? "

"Sure," I said "What is it that you have to tell me?"

He stood there silent and awkward looking for a few moments before saying "I uh... I have feelings for you."

I looked at him, shocked, thinking he was joking, but the beet red coloring on his typically pale face told me all I needed to know.
