The New Kid (A Zoethian fanfic)

Chapter 12

RYTHIAN 5:12 OCTOBER 3, 2013

Zoey and Rythian were back at his house now. He didn't really want Zoey to pick out his outfit for the dance. He was probably gonna end up looking ridiculous. She had gone over to his closet and was looking through it.

"Wow, your right. You have like seven of the same outfit." She commented.

"Did you think I was kidding?" He asked her.

"No, not really. Sounds like you." She laughed.

She kept rummaging through until she found something different. She pulled it out. It was a tux.

"Wear this!" She chirped.

Rythian rolled his eyes, "You do realize we don't have to dress fancy." He pointed out.

"Yeah, but why not? All the girls are wearing dresses. That's fancy right?" She said.

"I would look stupid." Rythian said.

"No you wouldn't." She said.

ZOEY 5:21 OCTOBER 3, 2013

You never look stupid. Zoey thought. She wouldn't say that out loud though. She shoved the tux towards him.

"Just try it on." She begged.

"Fine." He said, walking into the bathroom. She didn't notice there was bathroom in his room. She sat on the bed and waited. He came out a few minutes later. He had the tux on, although his mask and cape were still on. He had a look of humiliation on his face.

"I look ridiculous." He complained.

"No you don't. You look good." She said. She wasn't lying. Zoey had felt something weird inside her when she saw him. It was an unknown emotion that she hadn't felt before.

"Ya, okay, more less." He said walking back into the bathroom.

When he came back out, he was in his normal clothes again. Zoey frowned.

"So your wearing the tux to the dance right?" She asked.

"Um, well, I was-" He was cut off.

"Rythian pleeaaassseeee?" She asked.

"All right, fine." He said giving in.

"Hooray! I should be a fashion icon!" She said.

"Okay, sure." He said stifling a laugh. Then he asked, "What are you gonna wear to this dance?"

"Oh, I'm wearing a red and orange dress." She said.

"I think it's only fair that I get to see you in your dance outfit, if you got to see me in mine." He said.

"Well, I, er," She started.

"Come on." He said, sweeping her off her feet and flying out the window.

"Ah! Rythian! I'll say this for the millionth time, don't do that!" She shouted at him while clinging for dear life.

He laughed, "Zoey, I will keep doing this until it's not funny anymore." He said. Zoey just rolled her eyes. To be honest, she didn't mind. She liked Rythian holding her close to him. She felt safe. They continued their flight until they were back at Zoey's house. The window was still open, so Rythian didn't hesitate to fly right through. He carefully let her back on her feet, then he landed.

"Honestly, Rythian, you need to give me some sort of warning before doing that." She said.

"Aw, then it's not as fun." He said like a little kid. Then he laughed. Zoey rolled her eyes again.

"Let's see this dress of yours." He said changing the topic.

Zoey sighed, "Fine." She said grabbing it from her closet and leaving the room. Her bathroom was upstairs, but not attached to her bedroom.

RYTHIAN 5:35 OCTOBER 3, 2013

Rythian waited while she went to get dressed. He was thinking about the dance tomorrow. Zoey and Duncan were going as 'friends'. They would be dancing. And I'm going with Kim. He thought. He still couldn't get over the fact he asked her. Or actually that she agreed. The door opened breaking Rythian from his thoughts. Zoey slowly stepped through the door. She gave a shy smile. Rythian's jaw basically dropped. His heart skipped a beat when he saw her. He felt something funny inside. He always kinda felt like this around Zoey, but recently he felt like it was getting stronger. He couldn't place his finger on the emotion.

"What do ya think?" She asked.

"Wow, you look, amazing." He said a second later. Zoey started to blush. She turned back out of the room to try to hide it. She came back a few minutes later with her normal clothes on.

"Hey, look I gotta go. I still haven't done my homework." Rythian said, "I'll see ya tomorrow." He said.

Zoey ran up and hugged him. "See ya!" She said.

"I'm not leaving forever, you'll see me tomorrow." He laughed.

"I know." She simply replied.

"Okay, bye." He said climbing out the window.

"Bye." She said, "Bye."
