Zipward | a bet into reality

impatience

(OLIVER POV):

My boy Edward definitely has the hots for Zip. I can tell by the way he stares at her. I bet everyone knows. How is Zip still unaware of his feelings? I have no clue what goes on in that girl's brain. I mean we're all pretty messed up, but she's somehow smart while being completely brain dead.

If I know anything about Zip, is that she loves violence. I honestly wonder how Edward likes her. It's not every day when your most rational friend falls in love with a psychopath.

I guess Zip is cute and all, but seriously, She's dangerous. Edward has been talking to her nonstop and nothing is happening. I'm getting sick of it.

Goddammit! I mean he's being so obvious, and Zip's so clueless. I decide to walk towards them.

"yo, hey Oliver. You're late, like usual." Edward waves at me.

"Oliver, you should stop being tardy. That weird math teacher is gonna bite your head off. Literally." Zip looks at me as she talks.

"yeah, yeah, I get it." I respond, "but I need to talk to Edward. Now."

"what the hell? Why?" Edward asks.

"better not to say it now." I cross my arms.

"go ahead." Zip puts her legs on the tables and crosses them, "I can wait." Zip takes a sip out of her drink.

"see? Now come on." I say.

"fine." Edward agrees and stands up.

I walk towards a spot whee Zip can't hear Edward and I. Then I clear my throat, but before I could speak, Edward tilts his head.

"okay, so what the fuck is so important that you force me over here?" Edward asks, with a n aggressive tone.

"chill, I know I'm taking time away from your girlfriend and all bu-" Before I can even finish my sentence, Edward has to get all defensive.

"SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" Edward exclaims.

"okay, chill out dog." I roll my eyes, "anyways, I see the way you look at her, Edward. It's literally so obvious that you like Zip. She's just really dense."

"what do you mean?" Edward asks.

"don't play dumb. I hate seeing you try your best to make her realize that you like her so-" and of course he cuts me off again.

"I don't like her." Edward says, obviously getting embarrassed.

"don't bullshit me and stop cutting me off." I continue, "well, I'm gonna do you a favor because you're a big ass coward."

"I'm not." Edward growls.

"you definitely are." I roll my eyes. He's getting really defensive. It's so obvious.

"nuh uh." Edward shakes his head.

"if you aren't, then you have twelve months, a whole year, to make Zip like you." I smirk.

"fine." Edward agrees.

I didn't expect him to agree, and it kinda proves my point right. He definitely likes her. No doubt.

(SORRY ABOUT THE SHORT CHAPTER, I'LL MAKE LONGER ONES I PROMISE)
