~The Passing Time~ A Garmau FF

Chapter 26: Plan Created

Aphmau's POV
"Do you really think this plan will work?" Katelyn asks leaning against a wall, arms crossed.

"It's worth a shot! Besides, I think I have an idea for this involving you, Katelyn." I tell her.

We have been discussing our plan for a couple of hours. It is 1:13 pm now, so that would be just over four hours to be exact.

"No! Nonononono! I'm not taking any part in this!" She says quickly, jumping away from the wall.

"Would you just listen to the plan before jumping to unnecessary conclusions?" I argue.

"Fine. What'cha got?" She says after a moment.

"Okay so you barely know Zenix, Sasha, or Michi, right?" I ask and she nods her head. "Okay so-" I get cut off by an exasperated Kiki.

"You never met them before?!?" She yells at Katelyn. "God, I wish I was you!" She says afterwords enviously.

I look at Kiki for a few moments, then I turn back to Katelyn. "As I was saying, maybe you can be a messenger type of person. Confront him tomorrow and if he trys to lure you into his group, do what you do best!" I explain with a small smirk.

"Really?!? I can?!?" Katelyn says giving an excited bounce and then starts laughing maniacally as a joke.

"I know I'm going to regret this, but what is the thing you do best?" Laurance asks curiously.

Katelyn turns to him, placing a hand on her hip and smirking. "They don't call me Katelyn The Fire Fist for no reason." She says teasingly.

Laurance's eyes widen and he backs up a step. "Why-"

Aaaand then he trips over the coffee table.

"Pfft! Hahahaha! Laurance! You couldn't be any clumsier, can you?" Dante says from behind the couch in laughter.

Laurance stands up, rubbing his head with his palm. "SHUT UP DANTE!" He says running at him.

"NO! NOT AGAIN!" Dante screams and runs into the bathroom and locks the door.

Laurance sits against the door, arms crossed. "Fine, I'll just wait here!" He says mischeviously.

"SERIOUSLY LAURANCE!?!" Dante yells from behind the door. "Ugh, fine."

Everyone around us is snickering at them.

That is, everyone except for Zane, who is sitting on the couch with his head down.

I start to walk over to him, but I stop myself. I see Kiki place her hand on his shoulder. "Hey, are you okay?" She says to him quietly.

He shrugs her hand off and leans forward, placing his head in his hands.

"It's alright, were all friends now." She whispers to him.

He looks up at her. "That's the thing! How can I be friends with you all if I get controlled by Zenix everyday? I'll just end up hurting you again." He shakes his head in disappointment.

"Oh. That's a good point." She says, drifting off into her own little world as she thinks.

I walk over to them. "Have you ever tried to stop it?" I ask.

He nods. "It always backfires." He curls his fists again. "Zenix..." He growls through gritted teeth.

"He will be just as angry if..." Nicole starts and then trails off, smirking. "Actually, no. Zane, you should sit with us at lunch on Monday."
