Bonding | The Music Freaks

Chapter 1

| Third Person POV |

Zoey couldn't believe what she had just done, she heard the bell ring. "Oh my gosh what do I do? I'm so freaking embarrassed." Zoey thought, panicking, hiding her face as she ran out of the room and through the hall of students rushing to their next class, she ran to the nearest bathroom and locked herself in a stall for 10 minutes out of embarassment.

Then rushed through the door of her classroom and the teacher yelled, "Zoey!" "Huh, what?" She answered. "Why are you late?" Zoey was silent. "Well?" The teacher asked. "It's none of your business!" She said. "Alright, Zoey, this is your warning." He said. Zoey couldn't believe she had a warning for crying, to be fair, she was pretty sassy, but that wasn't the point. She sat down next to Maria, she could see Lia give her a death stare, Zoey didn't want to cry again, she just held in her tears. "Hey Zoey, what's up?" Maria asked, "you look upset, wanna talk about it?." Zoey was quiet "Maybe later." She responded, she wanted to say what happened but was too worried. "Okay." Maria replied.

~after school~
Zoey and Maria were gonna walk home together. "Where's Lia?" Maria asked. Zoey couldn't keep it secret anymore "I YELLED AT HER AND SHE DOESN'T LIKE ME ANYMORE,OK?" She yelled. "Oh..." Maria replied. Zoey ran away, "Zoey wait!" Maria yelled.
After running for a while, she finally caught up to her. "Hey Zoey, what happened?" Then, Jake walked past them. "Zoey!" He called out, he didn't like her that much, but she was still family after all, right? "What's wrong?" "I DONT WANNA TALK ABOUT IT WITH YOU YOU JERK!" Zoey yelled. Maria looked at Jake angrily, "what did you do to her?" Not knowing the whole story. Jake froze, all the guilt was coming back, he just ran away. "Ha,serves him right, what did he do?" Maria asked Zoey. "Well... he hit me and told Drew i was a cheater." Zoey vaguely explained. Maria was furious

~Maria's pov~
That jerk! No one does that to Zoey and gets away with it, alr?
I decided to go chase Jake. "Wait, Maria!" Zoey called out. "Yeah?" I responded. "Can i tell you something?" Zoey asked. "Of course, you can tell me anything you want!" I responded. "Well... I kinda like Lia... a bit... more then a friend, i think i like her, I just really wish she didn't send that video, but i still rly like her." Zoey confessed, I could feel my heart shatter in millions of peices, I love Zoey, if i can't have her why should the one who betrayed her have her? "Cool..." I said, not knowing what else to say.

I just ran away. "Hey Jerk!" I called. "Huh?" Jake replied. "Why did you hit my best friend?" I asked, "huh?" "Because... well.. SHE POSTED THAT RECORDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR EVERYONE TO SEE, AND MADE FUN OF OUR DEAD GRANDFATHER, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?! Huh!?" Jake yelled. I was confused, "our?" I asked. "Yeah, she's my sister, ok? Didn't ask her to be, i feel bad, I will admit that, but its not like she didnt make fun of our grandpa and dislikes me for my special interest for music, yes im autistic shut up." I was silent, huh? "Woah woah woah, back it up,
1) you're autistic and
2) she made fun of ur grandpa dying?"
Jake looked down at his ankles. "One, yeah, two, yeah, she said he hates me for liking music, when he played music himself! Our grandma was just a bad person and a cheater who happened to like music! So what?" Jake replied. I was silent, i just learned so many things about Jake that I never knew before. "Woah, uh, sorry for assuming, you okay?" I asked. To be honest i had no idea if i was genuinely sorry or not i js felt bad about his grandpa. "It's ok, and yeah I'm fine." He said before walking away. I decided to just lie to Zoey about everything that happened, I dont like doing that, but I had to.
"I yelled at him so much he just ran away!" I lied. "Wow, go Maria!" Zoey replied. I looked at my ankles rubbing my arm, I felt bad for lying, but i had to, or i'd get in trouble,so, now that ik all this stuff, now what?
