Let's Keep It Awkward | Zoyet - Gossip Girl Reboot

Chapter 2

Then we fucked a little bit and I was out
Did not say "Bye"

When they were finally done, they lay beside each other catching their breaths. Monet sat up and got up, grabbing her clothes without saying anything. She looked at the clock on her phone and saw it was almost three in the morning. "You know you could just stay the night with me." Zoya crawled on the bed to get closer to where Monet was standing beside the bed. Monet didn't even look at her and walked into the ensuite bathroom without responding to the comment.

Monet just stared at herself. She looked like hell by her standards. Knowing she was a fucking mess, told herself do not let her walls down again. She splashes water on her face, then fixes her clothes and her hair in case someone sees her in the hallway. When she finished, she busts out of the bathroom, walking toward the door, and leaves. She didn't say a word to Zoya, who was while lying in bed. Monet thought she couldn't get out of Zoya's room fast enough.

It was worth it (ooh, it was)
I would do it again (hey)
I know you hurt me, but (hey)
This is more than a friendship
Now I made it awkward
Why did you let me do it?
I made it, I make it awkward (hey, hey)
We wasn't ready for it (hey, hey)

It's been a few days since that night happened. Zoya and Monet haven't seen each other since sharing that passionate night. Feeling hurt by how Monet left her room without saying a word, it was made worse that this was her first time having sex. Even though Zoya does not regret saying no to Monet's question last night, her treatment from the experienced girl should have been better. Even with all the pain and sadness she felt after that night, if asked again, "Do you want me to stop Zoya?" her response would be the same every time. Thankfully with Shan coming to pick her up the next day, there was no opportunity for awkwardness with Monet during New Year's.

Now it's the first day of school back from the holiday break. Zoya didn't know what she would do or say when she eventually saw her. Anytime she was near Monet, across the tables by the school entrance or the Met steps, her eyes were drawn to her like a magnet. Staring and reminiscing about that night. Thinking about her full lips, how she would be gentle with Zoya, then start moving a little rougher, drawing out a painful pleasure that her body had never felt before. Monet seemed oblivious to Zoya's stares as she was too busy talking to Luna or on her phone.

After lunch, as Zoya walks to her class, she feels someone grab her and pull her into the bathroom. Monet locks the door and looks over to confront her.

"Why the hell do you keep staring at me Zoya?!" a question to an answer she already knows. "You have been staring at me anytime you are near my proximity, and others, such as Luna and Aki, have noticed."

Zoya's cheeks turned red in embarrassment. She had been caught and didn't know what to say.

"Look what happened the other night...was just that one night; I should have been upfront with you. That's on me." Monet says softly, taking responsibility.

"So what are we supposed to do now? I can't go back to being friends." Zoya argued.

"We were never friends, little buffalo." An annoyed response from Monet while moving toward the bathroom mirror to fix her makeup. "Let's just keep doing what we are doing...I will continue being the head bitch of this school, and you continue being little Z from Buffalo that rides the bus."

Zoya did her best to hold back, looking crushed. "Why did you come in my room that night if this was how you wanted it to be?"

Monet looks over at Zoya through the mirror "I had a desire that required attention."
