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

Chapter Seven - Ivan?

Your POV

I sighed as I pulled the backpack farther over my shoulders. Another long day at school. Zane sat next to me on the bus, arm around my shoulders. I was currently looking at Instagram, observing what Aphmau and the gang posted.

Lucinda (lucinda_the_witch) had posted a picture of her staff, along with a few other potions. A smiling, bubbly look was painted on her face. I smiled and tapped twice, liking it.

Cadenza (cadenznova) shared a picture of her hair, all snarly and tangled. The caption was: 'Did I get too into my sleep?' Laughing out loud, I pressed the mini heart to like it.

Then, there was Zane's (black_heart_101). I squinted as I saw the message he had posted, there were so many small words! I read the paragraph out loud.

To all of my lovely followers,
A few days ago, I became connected to the most wonderful girlfriend you could ask for. She always has my back, accepts me for my social awkwardness, and helps me through the worst of times. In fact, she helped me get out of my...state...but that's a story for another time. All I wanted to say is that I dedicate this message to her, and hope she will make many more memories to come.
I love you (Y/n), and hope you love me back.
Your honored boyfriend,
-Zane <3

I turned and faced Zane, who was smiling. Tears gathered at the edges of my eyes, as they threatened to spill. Then, I started tapping that screen vigorously, not taking my eyes off Zane. Sure, my like only counted once, but striking that phone made me feel as if it counted a million.

"Z-Zane, thank you..." I sobbed, happy tears sliding down my cheeks. Zane pulled me close and wiped them away.

"Ssh, don't cry. It'll only make your beautiful face red."

"But Zane - it was just so beautiful!" I bawled, burying my face into his chest. Then, the bus came to a stop.

"HEY! I'm not driving you kids around, so if it's your stop, GET OUT!" the bus driver barked.

I lifted my eyes to the window, and found it was my community, Zane's too. Grasping his hand roughly, I dragged him out, pulling him into a kiss as soon as his feet touched the ground. Garroth and Vlad got out behind us, looking a little jealous at the scene. I ignored them, kissing deeper. Finally, Zane and I pulled away, breathless.

"S-see you s-s-soon?" I gasped. Zane nodded.

"Y-yeah, s-seeya." Waving briefly, he walked in the direction of his house, Vlad and Garroth as follows.

I giggled, then walked in the direction of my house. I reached the end of the sidewalk, then stopped. I thought I heard something behind me, but ignored it, and continued on my way.

I then heard another sound. Like...the crunching of leaves. I wheeled around, looking for anyone behind me, but all I saw was some dead leaves. Shrugging, I advanced towards my house. Reaching a sloped driveway, I prepared to cross the street, so that I could get to my house on the other side. But, before I could set foot on the rocks, a hand pulled me back.

"Hey!" I snapped, turning around. I expected to see one of the kids in our little group, but instead I saw a teenage boy, looking retarded.

"Well hello, hot lady!" he cooed. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Um, yes, actually." I rolled my eyes. "So, can you let me go now?"

"No can do, sweetcheeks," the boy preened. "Not until you do me a little...favor."

I coughed angrily, but the boy didn't pick up. Shrugging, I acted casual, as if I weren't scared. "Depends on what the favor is. What do you need?"

The boy grinned at this. "Three words. Come with me."

"WHAT!?" I practically shrieked, jerking backwards. My bag flung off my arm in the process. "No way!"

"Aww, but you're so pretty, and so perfect!" The boy teased, reaching for my hand. I blushed and shimmied him off, not realizing that it was a mistake.

"No touching me! Now...LET ME GO!" I screamed. This got the boy mad, not to mention pushing his hands off my body.

"You shouldn't have done that, honey..." the boy 'tutted', shaking his finger in front of my face. "Now I have to kidnap you, and God knows it'll only mess up your gorgeous hairdo."

"LET GO OF ME YOU IDIOT! I WILL WRECK Y-"

I was interrupted by the boy's hand on my mouth, muffling my cries. "You may now call me Ivan."

Ivan loosened his hand slightly, but snaked his other arm around my waist, pulling me gently in the opposite direction. I bit his hand and he flinched, yanking it away with a gasp.

"ZZZZZZAAAAAAANNNNNEEEEE!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, hoping he would hear. I then heard footsteps getting louder behind me.

Ivan cursed and glared at me. "This isn't over, Peach," he hissed, then disappeared in a puff of smoke. He knew magics? Oh well.

"(Y/N)!" Zane puffed, out of breath. He stopped in front of me, bag hanging limply from his shoulder. "Are you okay!?"

"Yeah," I shrugged, looking around for my bag. I found it ripped and tattered in a bush. I yanked it out after a few tries. Zane cautiously scratched his neck.

"Do you know who that guy was? I saw that he had red eyes," Zane pondered.

"He said his name was Ivan." I replied. Zane's eyes got big at this.

"Oh no, this isn't good," he mumbled, starting to pace.

"Zane? What's wrong?" I asked, unsure what to do.

"(Y/n), Ivan is Lucinda's BOYFRIEND."

"Oh geez..." I was the one pacing now, wondering what was going on. "So...that means-"

Zane and I looked at each other, knowing what was happening here.

"Ivan is CHEATING on Lucinda!"
