His Best Friend - Pheonix Drop High - (Zane Ro'Meave X Female Reader)

His Best Friend

Chapter 32 - His Best Friend

It's Monday of the last week of school before the summer. I've just gotten my cast off, all my bruises have gone away and everything's back to how it used to be.

I walk out my house, down the street to meet Zane. He's standing at the Ro'Meave gate.

"Good morning!" I chime.

"Morning!" He cheers. We begin our walk to school.

~~~Time Skip~~~

We arrive, we walk up to the entrance. Zane walks over to the Jury table, I follow him. Recently he's been making sure everyone knows we're friends, he doesn't want me to get hurt again.

"Morning boss!" One of the Jury greets.

"Morning everyone!" Zane greets in a manner of importance. I don't usually talk to the Jury; I don't want to get involved. But I stick close to Zane. Travis and Dante now keep our tree safe for us. I face away from the Jury table, watching people walk past, how they cower past the Jury. I don't like this feeling, so I smile and wave at them, it helps. Zane turns away from the table to observe everyone. Except his gaze is one more of disgust, he has a distaste for basically everyone. He turns to me, his expression one much sweeter. It confuses me how the guy who looks at me so kindly can look at the rest of the world in such a way.

"Are you looking forward to the holidays?" He asks.

"Of course!" I chime, for once I am excited for the holidays. The summer holidays are far longer, meaning I barely have to see my father, and I get to hang out with Zane non-stop again.

"I'm glad you managed to get your cast off before the holidays." He says, gesturing towards my newly healed arm.

"Yeah, it will make life a lot easier! I can finally play games properly again!" I smile.

"Haha, of course! We will have to play plenty on the holidays!" He chuckles. I look into his eye; he really can read my mind sometimes.

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it!" I cheer.

"How about you? Are you looking forward to the holidays?" I ask.

"Of course I get to spend more time with you!" He chimes.

"Awwww." I coo. He puts his hand on my head and ruffles my hair. I jokingly glare at him. I can tell he's smirking under his mask. I lean back on the table, he does the same, we continue to look at everyone walking past. Everyone on the observing side is probably confused how people of such a stark contrast can be so close. He despises everyone with a passion, while I just want everyone to be happy.

~~~Time Skip~~~

*Bring Bring* Zane farewells the jury and we walk to homeroom. We walk in and he takes his seat, I go over to the girls.

"What are you doing over here?!" Katelyn yell whispers at me before I sit down.

"I-I was coming to sit with you girls as usual." I explain, confused.

"WHY AREN'T YOU SITTING WITH ZANE?!" Aph screams under her breath.

"B-because I always sit with you guys in homeroom!" I protest.

"B-but aren't (Y/N)~Chan and Zane~Kun made up now?!" Kawaii~Chan questions.

"Yes, but, don't you girls want me to sit with you?" I ask, still utterly confused.

"Look at him (Y/N)! Doesn't he look so sad without you?!" Aph hints. I look over to see him with his head resting on his arm and the other lying on the table.
