(yo before I start, yeah I overestimated myself... I forgot to save in my phone the username of the person who asked me to make them a cover for a book, so if that was you please comment!!)

There was a small knock at Zane's door.

"Travis?" he questioned, opening the door and smiling when their eyes met.

Travis had his hands behind his back, fidgeting nervously.

"Something wrong?" Zane said, worry beginning to seep into his voice.

"You're not coming, are you?"

"What?" Zane asked, curious.

Travis's face flushed, and stuttered, "Oh. I knew it was a stupid idea to put it on the wrapper..."

Zane, still confused, cocked his head to one side.

"I'm still not getting it," he said, "what wrapper? The cupcake?"

The blushing boy nodded.

"You over complicate things," Zane teased.

Travis studied his face for a long time before giving him a quick peck on the cheek and leaving.

He watched him walk down the street until he was out of sight, to who knows where.

And so, Zane checked the cupcake.

Upon seeing the invitation, he quickly texted Aphmau his RSVP.

This was gonna be wild.

-SLUMBER PARTY-

Zane sat crossed legged across from Aphmau on the carpet. Aphmau's phone buzzed, and the freckled boy smirked.

"Don't worry, it's not as hard as you think. Just imagine they're telemarketers," Zane snickered.

You see, they were playing a game where you send out an embarrassing text to EVERYONE, and then try to ignore calls or texts from other people.

Except there was a catch... The other person got to send the text, so it was a complete suprise.

Kawaii-Chan squealed, "This is the fight of the century! Oh, can Aphmau Senpai do it? Can she?"

Travis chuckled along with her and Katelyn rolled her eyes.

"Oh gosh... I can't ! I just can't!" Aphmau cried, pulling her phone out and scanning the messages.

When the color drained from her face, Zane howled with laughter.

"You told the group chat I was the one who ate Garroth's candy stash!? But we all know it was Laurance!" She screeched, throwing the nearest stuffed animal at Zane.

"Okay, okay, whatever. You're turn," he said, handing the small girl his phone.

It took Aphmau precisely 1 minute to figure out what to send.

In seconds, Zane's phone exploded.

"What the...? What the hell did you send!?" he yelled at her.

"Oh geez, Aph!" Katelyn laughed as Zane stared at his phone in shock.

He only lasted a few minutes before the suspense was too much to handle.

"Alright Aph, you win. Now let's see..." he said, "what did you say?"

Another call came from Garroth, then one from Vylad, and even Dante.

Zane decided to answer Garroth's call, so he put it on speaker phone and set it down.

"What's up, Garroth?" he said.

"'Whats up?' What do you mean what's up! This is big news! Huge news! I just can't believe it... Are you and Travis really dating!?"

The dark haired boy's face darkened.

Zane slowly reached out his hand and pressed the red end call button. In complete silence, he stood up and walked down the stairs.

"Wait, where are you going?" Travis cried.

"On a walk," Zane replied smoothly.

Though on the inside, he was on fire and didn't ever want to set foot in that house again.

He couldn't exactly tell himself why, either, but it felt wrong. Aphmau told everyone, just like that.

Boom.

Game over.
