DISTANT

Chapter 25

"HOLY HELL!! YOU GO GIRL!" Shouted Zenobia when she saw what was happening in front if her.

With a groan, Clayton pulled away from Zayna's soft lips. Zayna reached up and brushed away some lip gloss at the corner of his mouth.

"Zenobia, before you got here we were hungry. Now we're fed up." Said Clayton, he hugged his girl from the back and rested his head on her shoulder, smirking at the angry Zenobia.

"You know Clayton, just because you act like a d*ck won't make yours any bigger."

Zenobia laughed when his smirk was replaced by a scowl. Zayna however released Clayton's hold on her and stepped in between the two. She raised her hands and slapped them both at the back of their heads.

"Stop it, you two." She said and leaned against her locker.

"Hey have you guys taken pictures already?" Asked Zenobia woke pulling out her phone.

"What pictures?" Asked Zayna.

Zenobia rolled at how dumb her best friend was being. "Couple pictures idiot. You know when you two are being in sunshine and happiness."

"No we havn't done that stuff yet." Said Clayton as he rested his head on his girlfriend's shoulder. "We could do it now though." He turned to her to hear what she had to say.

"Nope. No thank you." Said Zayna, resting her head on his.

"Why the hell not?!" Shrieked Zenobia.

Damn this girl can be dramatic.

"I am too lazy to do it now and besides we're still in school."

"Come on, baby. It's just a couple of pictures." He said standing in front of her.

"I said - -"
He captured her lips in a knee buckling kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck to prevent her from falling to the ground.

"Got cha." Whispered Clayton once he pulled away.

"Huh?" She asked, still in a daze.

"Look at Zenobia, Love."

She turned her head towards her best friend. There she stood with a smirk while her camera was facing them. "Still the sneaky b**ch you love."

"Fine", she groaned, "Let's just get this over with."

********

Zayna rested her throbbing head against the coolness of the locker, trying to ease her headache. Twenty minutes later, Zenobia was satisfied with the way the pictures came out.

"Never again." She mumbled.

"Dont be such a downer babe." Said Clayton. He stepped in front of her and wrapped his arms around her. She immediately rested her head against his chest, her eyes started to feel heavy and she wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

"I've got to go now. Mom needs me at home." Said Zenobia. She gave Zayna a quick hug and peck on the cheek but when he got t Clayton she kicked his shin then hugged him as well.

"Crazy perra." He mumbled while rubbing his aching shin.

"Hey that's my sister." Zayna grabbed his hand and began tugging him out of the building.

*********

The moon's light shone in her room while the wind howled outside. The neighbour's dogs and cats were in a frenzy, barking and meowing at anything.

Listening to All Hands On Deck by Tinashe, she went through the pictures of her and Clayton. One specific picture caught her eyes which made her smile to a point where her cheeks were aching.

Clayton was looking down at her, leaning his arm against the locker beside her head. His hair fell loosely over his forehead and part of his eye while he was smiling the biggest smile she has ever seen. Zayna's body was turned into his chest as she covered her face with her hands. She was busy laughing at something he said.

Yeah, sure it's a simple picture, but what really got her attention was his smile. He was smiling at her as if she was his entire world. His eyes sparkled with so much love and adoration for her.

While smiling she felt her phone vibrate in her hand. She went into her texts and saw that she received one from Nate.

Nate :
>> Nate Jackson from S.A. 

With a frown attached to her face she replied.

Zayna :
Sorry I can't seem to remember him.

She set her profile as a picture of her and Clayton. The picture showed that he was picking her up from the waist, kissing the daylights out of her.

Feeling tired, she switched off all her devices and placed her head on the pillow. Just before she slipped away her phone vibrated once more. Knowing that it's Nate she ignored it and floated into Sleepville.
