Notti sighed, sitting on his bed.

He hated being alone, and Zanova was in the shower. It was wash day and she had a lot of hair, so it could take hours for her to come out. (Real 😞)

He slowly opened the bathroom door to see Zanova standing the in the shower, detangling her hair in sections.

"Hi." Notti said, sitting on the toilet that faced the shower.

Zanova ignored him.

FLASHBACK

"Can I please make a tiktok?" Zanova whined.

"Why do you want to do one so bad?" Notti sighed, growing annoyed with the girls begging.

"Because, everyone probably thinks I'm dead." Zanova mumbled.

"No, Zanova, damn. Word to my deads, if you keep asking me, imma be mad. So shut the fuck up." Notti said, scrolling on his phone, watching videos under the sound where girls basically shake their ass in a circular motion the whole video.(y'all look fine asf doing ts btw 🤭)

Zanova huffed, laying down on the bed.

Notti's airpods were in so Zanova couldn't hear the sound.

She glanced at his phone and frowned.

Everytime he scrolled, it was the same video, she knew what was going on.

"Really, Ethan?" Zanova said, staring at him.

"Mmchtt...what, bro?" Notti groaned, pausing the video.

"So, I can't talk to a man-- who mind you WAS GAY-- but you can watch girls twerking on TikTok?!" Zanova raised her voice, standing up off the bed.

"Who you talkin to like that, bro? And besides, it's not like I'm fuckin' her, so what's the problem?" Notti yawned, growing bored of the conversation.

"Really? What's wrong with-- you are so annoying. You should've just killed me at school." The girl said, glaring at Notti.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, MY NIGGA, DAMN! YOU CHATTIN RIGHT NOW AND IM TRYNA FUCKIN RELAX. GET THE FUCK ON." notti yelled at the top of his lungs.

Zanova straight faced him.

"You tweakin bro. I'm getting in the fucking shower, have fun watching those videos." Zanova scoffed, walking into the bathroom.

"And I will, too....damn." Notti said, continuing the videos.

END OF FLASHBACK.

"Look, I'm sorry, aight? Talk to me."

Zanova looked at him like he was invisible and looked back at the wall.

Her speaker was playing "Off the wall! By xxxtentacion and ski mask the slump god" and that song is loud as fuck, so it was easy for her to ignore him.

"Bro.." notti paused her music, not knowing that pausing X was a HUGEEEEE no no.

She finished her hair and rinsed it calmly.

She opened the door, dried off and stared at Notti.

"never. AND I MEAN NEVER pause X again. Get the fuck out, yo." Zanova said, angry as all hell.

X was one of Zanova's friends from back when she used to live in Florida and the two were close.

And Zanova didn't even play like that.

(X is still alive in this. More explanation in a sec.)

Ethan's eyes widened. She was normally relatively quiet so her yelling was kinda scary, honestly.

He just walked out of the bathroom, and jumped on the bed, sighing.

Sooo, here's a filler chapter cus idk what the fuck I'm doing. I'm writing an X imagines book rn, which I'm much more committed to than anything else rn, LMFAO.

But yeah, Zanova and X are friends, and I forgot to mention that Notti and Zanova are 18 or so and X is 20 so...that's relevant, you'll see why next chapter 🤭.

To be honest, I think this makes everything much more interesting because I mean... I'm tryna cross two fan bases here.
