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

Chapter Two - Online Buddies?

Aphmau's POV

I stormed off, I was mad at (Y/n). Why did she yell at me? Ugh, not like the friendship was bound to last.

Travis is the only one who cares. Well, other than FC. But I don't even know who he is!

Crying, instead of going to class, I went to the music room. It was deserted. The perfect place to let my heart melt.

I slid down in front of one of the doors, mumbling things into my hands. I did this out loud.

"Why does everyone hate me? Why is my life so twisted? How can I make up with (Y/n)?" I took a deep breath as rage started to build up inside of me. I didn't know why. This has been happening ever since the 'Zane' incident. I forced it back and let out a choking scream: "SHOULD I JUST DIE!?"

The music I heard in the background stopped abruptly. I had assumed someone had left a speaker on by accident, but then I realized that someone was here. Looking around frantically, I searched for the mysterious person, but I didn't see anyone.

"Hey, are you okay?" I heard a voice behind the door. I gasped and wiped away a tear.

"N-no..."

"What's wrong?"

I paused before answering. "I'm...mad at someone, everyone hates me, and my LIFE IS HORRIBLE!" I started sobbing in my legs again.

"Well, do you have someone to talk to?" the voice asked.

"Yes, an online friend." I responded. "And now you, I guess."

"Well, maybe you should contact your online friend first. You only just met me."

I nodded. "You're right. Thanks, voice."

"No problem." The voice replied. I got out my phone and texted FC. (A/N: Shu is Aphmau, and FC is...well...you'll find out soon.)

Shu : FC, can we talk?

I heard a bleep behind me, like a message had just been sent.

FC : Sure. Is everything okay?

Shu : N-no...

FC : What happened?

Shu : Well, my friend and I...we got into a fight after an injury happened. After what happened with Gene and everyone else, this only adds to my sorrow. Everything is just so twisted.

FC : The only thing I can tell you is everything's going to be okay eventually.

Shu : HOW!?

FC : I DON' T KNOW! Look, there will always be a better day. Remember that.

Suddenly, the person behind the door asked me something. "Are you getting texts?"

"Wh-wha?" I asked myself, looking down at my phone. It had just buzzed with a new text.

FC: Shu? Do you hear that?

"What?" I asked, terrified now. I then heard a knock on the door behind me.

Shu : Knocking, WHAT!?

FC : There's no way...we can't go to the same school!

Shu : I'll knock three times.

I turned and knocked on the door behind me. One, two, three. Panting now, I looked back down at my screen, waiting for a response.

FC : Shu, you're right outside this door.

I gasped. "Th-that means..." I got up and backed away, waiting for the door to open. I heard footsteps, and then...

AARON!?

"W-wait, YOU!?" We chorused, eyes wide. I started to cry some more.

"No, no! You can't be FC! Not with everything you've done!"

"I-I-I-" he stuttered.

"No, no, no, no!" I turned, preparing to run. I then felt a hand on mine. I turned, tearing up. "This isn't real! This is some kind of sick joke!" I protested, convincing myself that this bully couldn't be my online friend.

"Keep telling yourself that. Look, Shu, I. AM. FC."

I swallowed and looked at him. "B-b-but you..."

"I know, I bullied you. But I thought you were annoying. Now that I know you're Shu..."

I laughed nervously. "It's different now, isn't it?"

"Yeah." Aaron agreed. "So...can we talk? I want to get to know you. The real you."

"Heh, I'd like that..." I murmured, a faint blush spreading on my cheeks.

"Good." Aaron reached for my hand. I took it and held tight, my hand warm in his. He looked at me and brushed a loose strand of hair behind my ear, causing me to giggle. We leaned closer, close enough so we could feel each other's breath.

We then lurched back, each of us looking very uncomfortable. Well, he looked disappointed and I played the part of being frazzled. I scratched my arm, then walked away, muttering a quick 'seeya' as I left. Closing the door behind me, I smiled.

A real smile.

For the first time in a while.

I had found myself...

a date.
