Chapter 4: Zane's best friend

I travel pretty frequently, and I'm gonna use that time to write and i hope i can get the next chapter out by the end of the week. But if writers block hits me like a brick, then i can't garuantee it'll be out by the end of the month.

The '-' sign means it's a text.

Hope you enjoy!

Zane POV

I exited her dorm, but she was acting pretty off. "I mean, who am i to judge since i don't know her that well, but she was definitely acting fishy."

"Ehh, not like i care, I'ma go back to my dorm." I say, starting to walk as i open my phone and see at least 100 notifications from Lola.

"Oh my god." I exclaim in annoyance as I roll my eyes and sigh. Opening the notifications, I didn't read anything except the last few messages.

-Lola:"What position you got her in?"
-Lola:"Is she stacking donuts on it?"
-Lola:"I knew there was someone else!"
-Lola:"YOU'RE SUCH A SCUMBAG!"
-Lola:"I FUCKING HATE YOU!!"
-Lola:"I KNEW YOU WERE A CHEATER!!!"

Reading the end of her unnecessary rant, i roll my eyes again and sigh in frustration, starting to write back.

-Zane:"Lola I was studying in the library and my phone died."
-Zane:"I'm headed to my dorm, you're probably there."
-Zane:"Hope you didn't spread rumors yet."

I slightly hesitate to send the last text, but "Oh, fuck it." and i press send.

I was probably gonna get a yelling of a lifetime either way.

-----------------------------------------------------------

~•At his dorm•~

With one last sigh, i enter, and not to my surprise, I'm met with a furious Lola screaming at my face.

I ignore her remarks and just sit down on my couch and tell her "Check your phone." in a nonchalant attitude even she can't stand.

She pushes her pride and massive ego aside and looks at her phone. A spiteful smirk creeps up on her face, followed up with a scoff. "I could've ruined your entire reputation, and this is the best i get?" She asks, her voice still full of confidence.

"Oh no, i can't breath" I say sarcastically "your ego is suffocating me." I say, glaring up at her, as she snores, crossing her arms and rolling her eyes.

"Whatever, you better work harder on the fake relationship, or your dad'll kill you." She says with a smirk.

"Whatever, but this is as far as this arranged relationship will go, I'm not doing anything else. Just so you know, I'm only doing this because I'm forced." I say, my tone full of annoyance as I stand up and walk away.

Just before exiting, i stop in the doorway. "Just so you know, you're not the one that has the other in the palm of their hand, I am, because if your mother finds out you bully kids, may I add one of them is the top in the class, she'd probably be pissed." I exclaim with a grin, as my back is still facing her, but i just slightly tilt my head back so i can see her furious face.

The best part is that she can't do anything about it! I love making her angry, it's like a hidden pleasure to make my day slightly better.

"On the bad side, I don't have a place to sleep, she's at my dorm and i don't want to come to her... What should i do?" I start talking to myself as i end up making circles in the hall.

"You can crash at my place." I suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind me. I turn around, and to my surprise "Luna! Long time no see!" I see my childhood best friend, Luna, leaning on her doorframe at the entrance of her dorm.

"If you call 2 days a long time, then yes, and i see that things with Lola haven't changed, hm?" She says with a quite interested voice.

I sigh, "Of course they haven't. You expect me to get along with that asshole? Or do you expect my dad to drop the arrangement? Both are quite unreasonable chances." I joke as i turn to fully face her.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Come in! Or are you planning on sleeping on the hallway floor?" Luna exclaims as she makes space for me to come in.

"Obviously I'm coming in, stupid." Exclaiming that, I add a friendly chuckle as I make my way in.

"So, got anything worthwhile talking about?" She asks as i jump onto her couch. "Meh, not really, Aura came back from the hospital though."

Luna POV

As i hear Aura's name, i instantly smirk "Who's this bigshot Aura? She's all you've been talking about lately~" I tease as i grab some popcorn from a cabinet and sit down next to Zane on the couch.

Zane looks unpleased that I'm teasing him, but like that will stop me. "C'mon~ You know you can trust your bestie with anything~" I continue.

Hearing his sigh I knew I was about to get my answer. "I honestly don't know. I think that I have a crush on her, then I don't, then do, then don't. It's extremely confusing, so i think I'll give it more time." Zane explains his current situation.

"Damn, even the summary gives me a headache, hope you're good, buddy." I say with a tint of sarcasm as I pat his back dramatically, then I burst out laughing.

"I'm such a good bestie." I remark with confidence "Ehhh-" he says, I then over-dramatically gasp "Then who'll be your new bestie? Lola?" I ask in a semi-sarcastic cocky tone. "Ew, no, barf." he says back as we joke around.

"My love life's been pretty shit too, but not as bad as the masquerade you got going on." Saying that, he chuckles.

"What? No lucky ladies around?" Zane messes with me "Barely any ladies that are not straight. The ones that aren't as usually emo or scene, which, tbh, isn't my type. My lesbian ass is cooked." I say with a fake cry out.

"You'll find someone, I'm sure." Zane replies as he pats my back. "You think Aura's quee-" he cuts me off "No." With a dry answer I chuckle "Alright, alright, I won't steal your future girlfriend." I reassure him with a playful punch in the arm.

Holy shit I wrote this in like 2h on my plane. It will be published a bit later though, I might even be able to wrote two chapters in a day if my motivation doesn't run out! But I'll probably wrote another one by the end of this week or the beginning of the next!

Hope you enjoyed!
