In a World So Cold~ A Gene x Zenix Fanfiction

Chapter Six~ Broken Hearts.

Zenix's POV.

  After a couple of days, and sulking around some more, I finally took Sasha's advice and decided to tell Gene my true feelings. I was excited, yet scared. He probably wouldn't accept me, but I was going to try anyways, and if he didn't accept, hey, there's always dating sites!
  I walked down the schools hallway with an extra spring to my step. I couldn't help but smile the entire walk from my house to the High School. The bell was about to ring so I had some time before I met up with the other two. I went to my locker and but my stuff inside before walking off.
  The bell then rang and there was a stampede of students rushing to get to their class on time. My smile grew as I made my way to the place where we hung out inside of the school. I heard the voices of Gene and Sasha, taking a deep breath, I got ready to talk to him. I was about to walk around the corner but paused when I heard Gene say my name.
"What'd Zenix say when you talked to him?" I heard Gene ask. I held my breath, worried that they might hear me. "He... Just said he wasn't ready to date yet." Sasha lied. I instantly felt guilty for making her tell a lie. "Ugh, of course he would say that." Gene spat.  "Huh?" Sasha asked. "I didn't want to say this at first, but, who would date him, he's obnoxious." Gene said. "Um..." Sasha muttered. I felt tears press in my eyes, did he really think this about me.
  "Gene I don't think you should talk about Zenix like that.." Sasha said. "And why not? It's true, isn't it? I sometimes wonder how we even became friends.." Gene said, coldly. There was silence for a few moments. "Gene, seriously, stop." Sasha said. "You said it yourself, Sasha. He's getting annoying, and clingy." Gene said. I couldn't take it anymore, I walked around the corner and stopped, staring at them. Tears started to fall down my face. "If that's how you feel about me then fine! I'll leave you alone, you bastard!" I yelled before running away. The only thing I heard was Sasha yelling. "Gene! Get back here, you just broke Zenix!"

I sat in the bathroom, crying. Sometimes I wonder why I even try! I finally get the confidence to tell my crush my feelings, and I find out he doesn't even give a damn about me. I sobbed into my hands as I curled up in the corner of the stall.
I heard the bathroom door open and I tried my best to quiet my crying but it didn't help at all. "Hello?" A smooth voice said. "Is someone in here?" It asked. I instantly recognized the voice, Garroth. The two of us were close friends in middle school but ever since I became friends with Gene our friendship had dissolved.
The door to the stall opened and Garroth stood there, looking worriedly at me. "Zenix?" He asked. I sniffed and looked away, trying to hide my face. "Hey, what's wrong?" He asked, kneeling down in front of me. "Go away!" I spat. He put a hand on my shoulder but I instantly shrugged it off. "What happened?" He asked. I looked at him and tried to give an expression that said, 'Get the Hell away from me before I break your face.'
  But I just ended up crying again. Garroth grabbed my hand and pulled me up. I decided that he wasn't going to leave me alone until I talked to him so I just followed him. Maybe I would feel better if I talked to someone about it. We walked out of the bathroom and down the empty hallway. Before I knew it we were outside, behind the bleachers, near the Volleyball area.
  Garroth sat down and I sat next to him. "Aren't you supposed to be in class?" I asked. He shrugged. "This seems to be more important right now.." Garroth said. "Now, what happened?" He asked. I sighed. "Fine, I finally got the courage to ask out my crush and before I even could I heard him talking crap about me, he said he wondered how we became friends in the first place and called me obnoxious.." I said. "That's horrible, who was it, if you don't mind me asking." Garroth said. "Gene..." I muttered. "Wow.." Garroth mumbled.
  "And then he said no one would date me!" I yelled in anger, kicking at the ground. "Gene's horrible if he thinks that." Garroth said. I shrugged. "I don't know even more.." I muttered. I looked at Garroth and he seemed to be sitting closer than before. I sighed. "Thank you." I said. "For what?" Garroth asked. "For listening to me, I actually feel a lot better.." I said. "No problem.. But.. Since when were you a Meif'wa..?" Garroth asked. I groaned. "Long story.." I said. "Heh, well, the ears look cute on you.." Garroth said.
  What? Did he just say I was cute?
  Then I felt something on my lips, my eyes widened. Garroth, was kissing me.
