Zanelyn/Zatelyn | A MyStreet Fanfic

Chapter 6: Finality

     Katelyn lay spread on her bed, waiting for Zane's reply. She had just urged him to hurry with the revision with a death threat. Such an idiot. He was so infuriating and so self-defensive and cu- WAIT A MINUTE. Katelyn almost fell off the bed in shock. Did she almost call Zane 'cute?'

     No way, no way. He isn't cute at all, Katelyn convinced herself. Just kind of funny, with his whole evil-teddy-bear demeanor. It's like he's trying to be heartless, but is failing in a kind of... appreciable way, I guess.

     Katelyn frowned, biting her lip. WHY was she thinking like this? It wasn't like they liked each other or anything. She HATED Zane. Or at least didn't like him. Not at ALL. Katelyn jumped as Zane's reply came: I thought it was fine. 

     Katelyn scowled. How helpful. It was like he hated her guts. To be fair, he probably did, as she was kind of forward for his type. His type being the evil-outside, bruised-inside type. Like those fruits that look spiky but then are kind of bruised-up on the inside.

     K Thanks, replied Katelyn, pressing the send button irritably. She flopped off the bed and scooted to the door, lying there for no particular reason. Suddenly the door smashed her in the head as it flew open.

     Cursing, Katelyn bolted up, rubbing her head, scaring whomever had opened the door. As Katelyn glared, she realized it was Kawaii-chan who had barged in. Katelyn scowled at Kawaii-chan, debating whether or not to boot her out of the room.

     "Ya don't just barge into people's rooms, you know," yelled Katelyn, head smarting. Kawaii-chan giggled nervously, backing away a tad. Katelyn had a rather explosive temper, and was prone to explode at inconvenient times.

     "K-Kawaii-chan just wanted to check on Katelyn-sama and ask..." Kawaii-chan began, backing off slightly, preparing to run. "Are-you-and-Zane-kun-dating-AGH!"

     Katelyn had punched Kawaii-chan in the arm. Jumping up and away, Kawaii-chan escaped down the stairs. Katelyn following closely. Kawaii-chan proceeded to enter the basement, knowing Katelyn didn't dare face the horrors in the shrine.

     Hindered by her fear of Zatelyn fanart, Katelyn was forced to settle for swearing at Kawaii-chan from the basement door. Katelyn stalked back up the stairs, when her phone lit up. Kawaii-chan's icon popped up beside-

     NO. WAY.

     Kawaii-chan had gleefully texted EVERYONE, Katelyn-sama and Zane-kun are DATING! Which, as Katelyn assured herself, was the opposite of how she felt about Zane – she hated him!

     ...Right?

     Of course I hate him, Katelyn thought angrily. That should never be questioned – Zane was such an annoying guy – but he was still preferable to Travis, who, incidentally, had just replied to Kawaii-chan's proclamation.

     Out loud, Katelyn read, "Travis: Naahh Katelyn's w/ me, right, baby? OH GROSS! Just because I accidentally kissed you doesn't mean anything, you idiot! That was simply to show up Lucinda, don't you know?"

     Everyone, by this point, had logged on, each spouting their own thoughts into the chat. Travis was still being creepy, Lucinda and Aphmau were fangirling over the ship, Garroth and Dante were vehemently agreeing, and Aaron, Vylad, Jeffory, and Laurance were doubting the ship, complaining about spam, and wondering if it could be true.

     Katelyn logged on and quickly sent, NO WE'RE NOT DATING to them and quickly put her phone down like a hot pan. Suddenly, the chat flooded with more opinions.
