(COMPLETED) Together, Under The Stars

Chapter 14: Zenlie Will Become A Thing

Hello from Corona Life,

So. . . this chapter is dedicated to @DearReader29. Science is so fun with you and Mia and everyone else. Band is really fun too (is your audition music for next year hard? MINE IS GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF ME). I'm so glad I met you this year so that there's always someone who I can turn to when I need to state reasons as to why Sophitz will not happen and Sokeefe is LIFEEEE (like although before I was Sophitz but not anymore). Hope you're having a nice time in quarantine. I'm dying here.

Enjoy the CHAPTER.

Luv u all,
LivingWithMyLife

Ahh. . . Thursday morning. Why do I feel so lighthearted?

Then, the details of yesterday come rushing back to me. Ohhhh. So that's why I feel so happy. I pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. Ow. Okay. Not dreaming.

I jump out of bed and start to get dressed, humming happily. I scroll through my phone and get a text from Qirleya.

Qirleya: I heard that you and Charlie are a thing now.

Me: Who told you that?

Qirleya: Kevin.

Me: Remind me to give my brother a good lecture on how to keep his sister's private life confidential.

Qirleya: Lol ok. I'll remind you. But are you two actually a thing?

Me: Since when do you believe what Kevin says?

Qirleya: Stop avoiding the question.

Me: Caught me. We're just going to the dance together. Nothing more, nothing less.

Qirleya: Ahhhh. Ok. "Liked 'Caught me. We're just going to the dance together. Nothing more, nothing less.'"

Me: Cya. I G2G get ready for the day.

Qirleya: Biya

Kevin, that freaking bastard.

As much as I love my brother, he can be a total douche bag at times. Correction: most of the time.

I wake up my friends so we can get to breakfast. I'm starving.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Bire yawns, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. "Why are you so hyper today?"

We're waiting for breakfast to start, and the three of them might as well as be asleep. It turns out they stayed up for HOURS texting each other under their sleeping bags.

"I might as well as be asking you three why you are so tired." I don't even want to know what they were talking about.

Ria grumbles. "We were chatting about Zenlie!"

I glare at my friends. "That's not real. Neither the name nor the relationship. It's just ONE dance!"

And now all of them seem wide awake. "SO YOU ADMIT IT! YOU'RE ACTUALLY GOING WITH HIM!"

"Um, yeah. I said that yesterday. Did I not?"

The three of them jump up and down and squeal. "YES! ZENLIE WILL HAPPEN!"

"WILL NOT!"

Jamie joins us. "What won't happen?"

"Will happen," Ezme corrects. "Will definitely happen."

"Will not!" I argue back. "Will definitely not happen."

Ria shakes her head and laughs. "What most definitely WILL happen is that Zenlie will become a thing.

"What type of ship name is that?" Jamie questions. "Is it supposed to be like a good ship name, but it ends up being really extremely terrible? How about Chennzy?"

"Um, ew Jamie." I wrinkle my nose. "That's even worse. I prefer the name Zennzy, thank you very much."

The doors open for breakfast right then and I follow the others inside to get food.

Surprisingly, the boys are early today. I wonder why. . .

Charlie plops down right in front of me. "Hey Zennzy!"

"Hey," I reply, aware of the looks that my friends are giving me. "How are you? How did you sleep last night?" I cringe at how cheesy that sounds.

He smirks, aware of my embarrassment. "Oh, I slept grand. I'm on a rollercoaster that only goes up, my friend."

I gape at him. "You read The Fault In Our Stars, too?!"

"Of course I did! A certain someone from my middle school wouldn't stop talking about how their sister endlessly said quotes from that book, so I decided to give it a shot. It's honestly not that bad of a book!"

I glare at Charlie. "I did not endlessly say quotes. That's just Kevin's freaking imagination."

"Mmhm, totally."

"Just eat your breakfast," I bark.

He grins at me. "Of course, your highness."

I ignore his comment and turn to ask Jamie to excuse me when I spot Joshua sliding Ezme a note under the table. She opens it, reads it, gapes, looks at Joshua, back to the note, at him again, and finally nods her head. I don't need to read the note to know what's going on. It's absolutely hilarious.

Joshua just asked Ezme out to the dance. Now all four of us can go with a date! It's going to be the night of my life.

I tell Jamie that I'm heading over to Lettering. "See you there!"

I grab my letters and sit down to read them. A few from some counselors and synthesis that I know, ("'Some infinities are larger than other infinities' is the best quote ever!" Erica wrote) and some from my older camp friends. I'm about to reply to Ashlee's note when Sophelia plops down beside me on the bench.

"I need to tell you something." She glances around to make sure no one is listening. "It has to do with Amelia's secret."

QOTD: If you had to travel anywhere, where would you go?

EASY PEASY. HAWAIIIIIII. Jk jk. I love Hawaiiiiii, but honestly, if I had to travel anywhere, I would go to Camp Half Blood. Or Hogwarts. Or the Lost Cities. What about you? Would you travel into a book?
