Last School Year [ ZerVis ]

Chapter four

Took me a while, sorry! No worthy excuses! school...that is it. Anyways it's back so enjoy!

Back home I found my grandmother asleep on the couch "Granny?" I said gently shaking her to wake her up.
"JESUS CHRIST IS OUR LORD!" She yelled making me jump. I tend to forget our religious she can be, praying as she wakes.
"Yes, but I have chips" I shook the bag in front of her as she came back to reality.
"You're back already dear? My word you must be freezing! I will put on the fire, you set up the tables" I nodded in the agreement. I got the two tables out and set them in front of our couch. I then set out the food on to plates and took them through to find her flicking through the channels.
"here" I said placing the food in front of her.
"Thank you dear" She thanked me. I smiled warmly at her and sat down next to her. "Bloody TV, never has the right shows on" She complained making me laugh. Just another night in with my gran.

After we fished I washed up and tidy the kitchen whilst she continued to complain about the heat and the TV. "Granny I told you, if your cold I bought you some new jumpers." I sighed.
"Well I don't see why we can't have the heating on more often" She sighed muttering something about it being her house.
"Too much money gran" I laughed. "Anyways time for bed" I helped her up to her room. She couldn't go up stairs any more. Her bed room was now down stairs where the study used to be. It was fine since the bathroom was down stairs anyways. I left her in her room to sleep and went up stairs to mine. I got changed into a big woolen jumper and warm PJ bottoms. I curled up in my bed trying to warm up. It was very cold. I had only a Saturday part time job, we barely had enough money. After a while I fell asleep, forgetting all that had happened to me that day.

In the morning I was already dressed and ready, it was crispy cold so decided to wear my blazer to school. I called the day carer for my grandmother and grabbed a piece of toast. My jacket and scarf were by the door on the way out so I quickly headed out whilst trying to put them on. Which was when I spotted him. "Morning" He said to me with a cheery smile.
"Morning" I said in a low, tired tone. He had been waiting on me? Why? "Were you waiting on me?"
"Thinking high of yourself" I tched at him as i passed him taking a bite into my toast. "I'm kidding I was"
"That's nice" i said with no tone in my voice. He wanted me to say more, fight back, but I couldn't be bothered. I barely slept the night before.

When we finally reached school I got a lot of stares. There was a avalanche of girls as soon as we stepped on to the school grounds, pushing me out of the way. However I picked myself up, dusted myself off, pretending that nothing had happened. I continued to walk on when he called my name again. "Mavis!" I turned back, slowly, to see him pushing past the girls "Where are you going?" He asked coming closer to me.
"To the library obviously" I turned back to the school, continuing to walk.
"Can I come?" He asked another question.
"Only if you have to." I sighed, not wanting him too. I could hear his grin as if it was a noise and his feet speed up to reach me, which left the fan girls with their jaws dropped anime-style. What a interesting situation.

I was walking back home with Zeref when my cousin (my grans carer) texted me. She said "I don't have work tonight so you can go out with your friends whilst I look after gran" I stopped in my steps and replied
"Or I could go to work, thanks Liz" Zeref was reading it and asked
"Where do you work"
"A little cafe called In the corner"
"Where's that"
"In town"
"Is it busy?"
"Quite"
"Huh" he said thinking "Why not hang out with me instead?" I stared at him if to say 'do you even know me?' My bosses number was already dialed.
"Hello, It's Mavis. I'm free today so do you have any shifts for me?"
"Sorry Mavis all hands we need are on deck, I'm really sorry"
"No I understand, it's okay. See you Saturday" I hung up feeling annoyed. I then spotted a excited Zeref. "What are yo so happy about?"
"Lets go out!" He explained further that "There's a place in town I saw, lets go!" I rolled my eyes as he grabbed my hand "Lets go!" He began to run. I don't know why bt that fact his hands were holding mine made me blush like mad making my heart race. What was wrong with me? Had I caught a cold? I didn't like Zeref that way...did I?

We arrived to a shop called "It's your cup of tea" which sold tea..wow. I ordered a tea nd he order coffee and a muffin. I opened my school bag and took out my study book. "Seriously on our date?" He asked. I blushed at him and nearly shouted
"We're not on a date!"
"Uhm..Hi Mavis" I looked up and found Matt.
"M-Matt, hi.. When did you start working here?" I nervously asked. Why did I feel weird? was it because Zeref called it a date? And why did that make me slightly happy?
"When it opened" He turned to Zeref and greeted him "Hey Zeref" Zeref turned back to me and said
"We're on a date"
"No we're not"
"But you said-"
"No I didn't" Why was I arguing with him. I don't even like Matt so why did I care?
"Anways, here is your order" He smiled at me a left us alone again.

I looked at Zeref who was watching Matt "What?" I asked.
"I need to protect my lady" I blushed and stuttered
"I-I'm not your lady, I'm your companion"
"Okay then I was protecting my companion" He mimicked me, taking a drink from his coffee. I went back to my boom when he sighed asking "Mavis can you not study for a moment? I was hoping we could talk again, like we used to do when we were kids." i decided he was right, if he was going to follow me around it would be helpful. I put it away and started with
"Fine, what's new?"
"Where do I start?"
