Zoey's POV
* Flashback*
"I'm not going" that's what he said when I asked him a few days ago in school.
"What?! But why?!" I retorted rather loudly though he was just sitting beside me
"People dress up all fancy, dance and do whatever. I don't really see the point. " he sighed lazily slumping over his desk
"Come on, Rythian. The dance'll be fun. That's the point! Dances are for fun! Fun Fun fun!"
"Meh, It's not really my thing"
"Come on. I'll be your date" I bargained. He momentarily stared at me at the corner of his lazy shockingly purple eyes and at that moment, I thought that that won him over.
"Nah. Don't force me to do something I don't want to do, Zoey" I wanted to say something to change his mind. Something. but that was when the teacher came into the room and when this teacher is teaching, you shut up and listen, cuz he will give you an earfull. After the class, Rythian went out of the room so quickly, It seemed like he teleported. I didn't have a chance to talk to him for the rest of the day. It was like he avoided me or something.
*End of Flashback*
"Man, that sounds a bit rude dont you think?" Lomadia ranted from the shotgun seat after she heard the story. We were on our way to the dance in Xephos' car, With Xephos was driving while I was alone in the backseat, like I was their kid or something. They were kind enough to give me a ride. Xephos was wearing an unconventional red tuxedo with gold lining. Lomadia was wearing a strapless, light blue, long, elegant gown, with a dark blue bow belt. She also has her hair in a bun. I was wearing a red cocktail dress with white lace straps. I had my hair in the usual ponytail but I tied it up with a white bow.
"Just because he doesn't want to go, doesn't mean he should avoid you. And you were the one who asked him to the dance? How could he have turned you down? Now you don't have a date. Didn't anybody else ask you?" Lomadia asked
"Some other people asked me but I turned them down. I guess I expected that me and Rythian would go together, since he is my best friend. I only found out he wasn't going yesterday. I guess it was silly of me to assume that things will go my way without agreeing on it first." I admitted
"Either way, his loss. He's missing out on the dance and he's missing out on you." Lomadia said
" Why are you so angry that he turned Zoey down? They aren't even dating.....yet. Xephos smirked and glanced at me at his last word.
" Xephos! Nothing is going on between me and Rythian. I just feel a little abandoned, because we normally do everything together" I blushed
"Well, don't be too hard on the guy" Xephos started " What if it really just isn't his thing. There's no point putting effort on doing something you won't enjoy. You just got to respect what the guy wants. Don't force him or else you'll just push him away. " Xephos advised with his eyes focused on the road. I reflected on Xephos' words. I guess I shouldn't force him to do something he won't enjoy, but I just don't think I would enjoy without him. I feel like something is missing. Why do I feel this way-
" Hey! Your'e referring to me aren't you!" Lomadia accused
"Wha?! I didn't say anything about you. Not everything is about you."
"Excuuuuuuuuuse me. You were totally referring to me. You don't think I respect what you want. Just because I forced you to go to the dance!"
There they go bickering like an old married couple. This is awkward. I feel like Clementine at the end of Walking Dead Video Game season 2. Then I notice, we were passing by the street Rythian lives in. An idea came to mind
"Let me out" I said. Xephos and Lomadia stopped bickering, the car stopped and I went out.
"Um Zoey? What has gotten into you?" Lomadia asked with a really confused look
" There is something I got to do." I smiled
" Okaaaayy? Do you want us to wait for you or?" Xephos asked also very confused
"Nope. Go on the the dance. You guys are in the student council so you better not be late"
"Alright then? Goodluck in whatever your'e going to do"
"Thanks" I smiled. They hesitantly left me by the sidewalk and I waved them goodbye. I'm sure they must think it's odd for me to ask to be let down in the middle of nowhere. After all, they don't know where Rythian lives. He doesn't really like people knowing where he lives because if they found out, they would totally change what they think of him. I walked to Rythian's house, well, I say house but it's more like a ginormous mansion made of basalt bricks. I actually like to think that it's more like a really awesome stronghold made of black rocks, but I didn't come to admire the mansion. I rang the doorbell.
Author's note
Man, It's been sooo long since I wrote or read anything in Wattpad. I never thought I would get tired of it. But here's a new highschool AU Zoethian! Even though I don't think a lot of people are into Zoethians anymore because it's so been so long since Rythian posted a Blackrock episode but I came up with this idea a year ago and it's been filling my mind for months, though it will be a simple story with a simple plot. That's just how I come up with stories. I obssessively think about them until I have enough courage to post it. This is gonna be the most romantic thing I've ever written because I normally don't write romance. I can't handle romance.
