Zero

Chapter 7-Stay Away

Zero has been ignoring me the whole day.

I don't know why it's even bothering me, I mean I don't care so why is it still bothering me?

When I went to lunch he wasn't there, so I ate by myself. The whispers were still there and every once in a while, I would turn around and the people looking at me would just quickly turn around avoiding my gaze.

I gave out a low tired groan as I approached my locker, the P.E. classes here are tough. How do they expect me to run 1 mile without stopping?! I wish I was an athlete, I really do.

I was about to grab my backpack and haul my butt back home to burying myself under the covers, but the tap on my shoulder stopped me.

I spun around to find a brunette wearing a bikini. Or at least it looked like she was wearing one, I wouldn't even call it clothes, but none the less, it covered her disturbing "parts."

"So you and Zero are fucking, right?" My mouth hung open. I'm pretty sure I looked like, well I don't know.

"Umm no? Where in the bells would you get that idea?!" I half shrieked.

"Well he lets you sit with him and he talks to you, you must at least be giving him head or something." she said casually.

"Well I'm not! He's my friend, that's all there is to it." I said huffing.

"Don't you know what he's done? He's killed, raped even. I wouldn't get so close to him, you never know what he could do. You could be his next victim. Watch your back Hun." She said quietly.

"What are you talking about? He's not like that," I said pausing, "he wouldn't do that."

"Just stay away from him." she said as she turned around and walked out of Hell's front door.

What could she be talking about? He seemed so nice. She's probably on crack or something.

Then I realized something, no one ever talked to him. People gave me wide eyes when I did. He told me he had a reputation. Could that be it?

Looks like I do need to stay away from him.

Zero's POV (Surprise my ducklings!!)

I held Mr. Snug-I mean Zen as he slept. I needed her to keep Zen so I had an excuse to keep talking to her.

I had to protect her with everything I have. She's the only girl I've ever-*Riiiiiinnnnnng*

I picked up my phone and answered it, "What?" I said exasperated.

"We need you here, now."

...-....

So? Tell me how it was. You guys are so quite! I love you but I can't hear you. you know what I mean.
