Ships Happen - Zane~Chan

~(7)~

I arrive at Aphmau's house. Since we all live on the same street, I didn't have to drive. I just walked.

I walk up to the front porch step and knock on the door.

I see Katelyn smile as she opens it, but it quickly murged into a frown when she saw me.

"Ugh, I thought you were Jeffory," she groans as she lets me in the house.

"So, are you here to see Aphmau or something?" Katelyn asks me.

"Yes," I say, showing almost no emotion.

Sure, I lied about wanting to see Aphmau. My true mission was to at least talk to Kawaii~Chan. I need to make sure things aren't all weird between us.

"Okay," Katelyns says. "Aphmau! Zane's here to see you!" she calls from the bottom of the stairs.

"One second!" I hear Aphmau call back.

After a few moments, Aphmau comes running down the state's and engulfs me in a hug.

"Aphmau!" I yell.

"What? You haven't replied to any of my texts or answered any of my calls. I started to worry about you!" Aphmau says.

"Okay, fine. You'll slip by this time," I say and look away, crossing my arms.

"Aphmau, just letting you know, Jeffory's gonna be coming over pretty soon. Sooo... Don't answer the door when he does." Katelyn says, running up to her room.

Aphmau nods her head, even though Katelyn can't see her. Then, she turns to me.

"Sooo...?" I say as she creepily stares at me.

"Sooo... Wanna play ponies?" Aphmau asks.

"Actually, not today," I say, looking down at my feet. I think about Kawaii~Chan.

"What's up with you?" Aphmau says, raising an eyebrow.

I realise I was smirking to myself.

"Um, what do you mean?" I play dumb.

"You smiled. You rarely do that," she states.

"Actually, I smirked. What's wrong with that?" I say.

"Just, you never do that," she states again.

"So, I can't smirk if I want to?" I ask giving her all kinds of crap about it.

"Ugh! Nevermind. Let's just go eat some food," Aphmau suggests, walking over to the kitchen.

"Okay," I pout.

Later. . .

"These cupcakes are pretty good, actually," I say to Aphmau.

"Thank you!" she says.

"Did someone say cupcakes?!" I hear someone yell.

Kawaii~Chan comes running from upstairs and into the kitchen.

"Kawaii~Chan knew it!" she exclaimed.

She grabbed a few of the cupcakes and started shoving them into her mouth. Then, she blushed when she noticed I was there.

"Oh, uh, hi Zane~Kun," Kawaii~Chan calms down a bit.

"Hello," I say looking down at my cupcake.

There was an awkward silence, until the door bell rang.

Who was it? Jeffory already came, I'm already here, Garroth and Laurence don't usually come over uninvited. Then, who was it?

"I'll get it," Aphmau says and walks over to the door.

As she opens it I hear her say, "Oh, h-hey Aaron."

"Hey, do you think we could go to the movies? Like, right now?" Aaron asks.

"Sure! H-hold on one second," Aphmau answers and walks over to Kawaii~Chan and I.

"Well, I'm gonna go to the movies with Aaron... So... Zane you can go home whenever you want. I don't care," she told us and walked out the front door.

I hear the door slam.

"She's so cute when she blushes", I think to myself, seeing Kawaii~Chan in the corner of my eye.

I look over to Kawaii~Chan, seeing a shocked look on her face.

"You think Kawaii~Chan is..." she kind of wandered off into her own world.

I just said that out loud, didn't I?
