Losers Together 💕 (Zane x Reader) {ON HOLD}

Chapter Two - The Shadow Knights

Your POV

I drummed my fingers on my desk, waiting for the project partners to be given out. Ms. Gem was still taking attendance twenty minutes in class.

"APHMAU!"

"Here..." A hazel eyed girl squeaked.

"Louder!"

"Irene, is she deaf?" The girl next to me muttered. I turned towards her, she had blue hair and eyes.

"Tell me about it."

She turned to me, surprised. "Who are y-"

"(Y/N)!"

"Present!"

"IS THERE A (Y/N) HERE!?"

I rolled my eyes. "Oh, so that's who." The girl smiled.

After attendance the partners started to be given out. "Aphmau and Katelyn," Ms. Gem muttered. "Kawaii~Chan and Garroth. Laurance and Nicole." She then came to me. "(Y/N) and Zane."

'No!' I cast a risky glance in Zane's direction. He glared at me. So much for keeping out of his way.

"You will all work on your projects in and out of class. They will be due by Friday."

"FRIDAY!?" I blurted out, standing up in my seat. I didn't care if everyone's eyes were on me, today was Wednesday!  "What the hell is the theme for this project!?"

"Again, dear." Ms. Gem rubbed her head.

"ARE. YOU. FLIPPING. SERIOUS!" I screamed. "YOU CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING YOU OLD WOMAN!"

Everyone gasped. Ms. Gem wasn't amused. "I could hear that, which earned you a detention. Now, to the project themes." She cast an accusing look towards me. So she had heard! I growled and buried my face in my hands. What an idiot.

*

I waved a hand in front of Zane's face, annoyed. "Hello? Earth to Zane!" I snapped. He didn't look up from his phone. "You know, you're supposed to work too, loser boy."

That got his attention.

He snapped his head up, giving me an accusing stare. "You seem to be doing a pretty good job of doing all the work yourself."

"Hey, don't blame me if you get half credit." I shrugged. "Now...Harriet Tubman..."

Zane sighed. "You know, you're a nerd."

I turned to give him a stony glare. "Excuse me?"

"You're. A. Nerd."  He repeated slowly, looking me in the eye.

"And why is that?"

"Because you care WAY too much about school." He spat the word 'school'.

"Grrr, FITE ME 1v1 BRUH! LUNCHTIME!" I screamed, attracting attention from the whole class. I gulped and sat back down in my seat, pretending nothing happened at all.

*

I cracked my knuckles as Katelyn gave me a washcloth. I wiped sweat from my forehead. Zane hadn't appeared on time, so I took the chance to run some laps.

"You're gonna do great," Katelyn pepped me up. "Go kick his-"

"No cursing needed." I smiled. "I know your point."

Katelyn smirked knowingly. "Now, where were we? Oh yeah, using Aphmau as a punching bag..." Aphmau's eyes widened. "Haha, just kidding girl! Though you would make a pretty fun punching bag..."

"H-hey!" Aphmau stuttered.

"Hm, where is Zane anyway?" I tried to change the subject. Luckily, it worked.

"Now that you mention it, I don't know." Katelyn replied. "But at least this battle will give him a taste of his own medicine!"

Aphmau gulped. "Um, are you sure you'll even win the battle? Zane can be pretty mean..."

"Gurl, have you seen these pecks?" I joked, showing her my muscles. "He doesn't have a chance!" We all laughed light-heartedly. I stopped laughing abruptly. "I'm going to go look for the little twerp. Can he ever show up on time?"

Katelyn nodded. "Okay, but be sure to bring him here before the BIG fight. I wanna see you beat him up!"

I chuckled. "Okay. Now, where can he be..." I walked the halls, searching for any sign of Zane. I saw none, until...

"Haha, punch him in the eye now Zenix!"

I froze. Another bully? I wasn't about to let someone get wrecked by a stupid bully. I turned the corner, following the sounds to the fight. A group of three was beating up a boy, laughing as they did so. There was a girl with white hair and purple eyes, a boy with black hair and blue eyes, and a boy with brown hair and brown eyes.

"HEY!" They turned at my sudden remark. The black-haired boy's lips were curled into a small smile.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" He mocked. "A noob?"

I growled. "Don't call me that. Now, where were we? Oh yeah, me telling you to STOP."

The brown haired boy laughed. "Who thinks a little girl can stop us? Especially a noob."

The white haired girl smiled. "Yeah, noob. I like that name."

"Well I don't," I grunted. "So back off or face my wrath."

"Your wrath? Don't make me laugh." The black haired boy smirked.

"You have one more chance." I warned.

"What would you do if I did...this?" The black haired boy kicked something, resulting in a scream of agony.

"I would do...this!" I ran up to him, kicking his leg. It didn't do much, but the group was astonished.

"So you have guts, eh?" The black haired boy approached me. "Well, it's time to get rid of them." He aimed a punch towards my head but I ducked and kicked him in the crotch. He yelped as I crawled under his legs, aiming for the girl. She jumped up in the air, eyes narrowed. I slid out of the way of her tackle and punched her in the head. She spun around woozily before falling, unconscious. Now, the only one was the brown haired boy. I smiled at him and walked closer. I backed him up against the wall and pinned his arms down. He looked at me with terror before I tripped him, resulting in a black eye. I wiped off my hands on my skirt and turned towards the vicitim.

You would not believe who it was.

Yes. Zane.

"Oh. It's you." I snapped. "Ready for our fight?"

Zane pushed himself up, his crystal blue eye black. His clothes were torn and wet with blood, and he was limping. I couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

"Need help?"

"N-no-" He protested, but his knee buckled and he fell. I bent down and picked him up, wheezing the whole time. My cheeks felt hotter and I knew I was blushing. I let him lean on my shoulder for support as we walked, closer and closer to the nurse's office.

"Ugh *puff* how *puff* much *puff* do you *puff* eat?" I questioned, panting the whole time. Zane shrugged, eye wide. "Whatever. Now move yourself to the Nurse's Office." I pointed to the door. He stopped leaning on me and limped to the door. He looked back once before going in.
