Misdirection
Dan Morgan was heartbroken when Zoe abruptly left the MI High team. When Zoe makes a dramatic reappearance, Dan is over the moon, but things are different this time around. Zoe is different. Dan tries his best to fix her, now that the team need her more than ever.
Hey! So, I obviously have a lot to explain! Basically, a ton of stuff was going on and I was super busy. A week ago, I started to get back into writing Auxilium, but I just all incentive. I'm reallysorry, especially if you guys liked Auxilium. But here is a new story, and of course, the central pairing is ZAN. So please review!
ONE
Dan Morgan hoisted his schoolbag over his shoulder, as he traipsed down the halls. It was the new beginning of Senior Year and a million emotions were running through Dan's mind. There was a small part of him that was happy to move on, and mature, but the larger part of him wanted to hold onto high school, and MI High, forever.
"Thinking about blowing this place?" a voice called and Dan turned around to see Tom, striding down the halls. He had changed quite a bit over the summer. No longer was he the scrawny, short boy. In fact, he had grown slightly taller than Dan, and he was much more muscled and fit.
"Thinking" Dan said, emphasising the word. He grinned at Tom, and the two mates high-fived. "I don't think I ever could".
"Well there's a reason" Tom said, pointing behind him. Frowning, Dan turned around and was startled to see Melissa and Byron walking down the halls.
"What the- I thought they moved?" Dan cried. Melissa caught sight of him, and her face visibly lit up. She bounded over and Dan internally groaned.
"Dan!" she squealed and tossed her arm around his neck. She smelt strongly of fairy-floss and the aroma sickened him. Behind him, Tom was chuckling.
"What are you doing here?" Dan blurted, all manners having gone out the window with the shock of seeing Melissa again.
"Byron and I went on exchange last year, but we decided to come back to St Hearts!" Melissa cried.
"Especially since there's no Zoe" Tom muttered under his breath. Dan felt a small pang in his chest, when he heard Zoe's name. He had moved on from pining over her; but there was a special place in his heart that belonged to her and her only.
"Yeah I heard about the move! Bummer" Melissa said, trying to look sympathetic.
The sound of footsteps could be heard from behind Dan. "Yeah, I can tell that you're super sad" Aneisha said, her hands on her hips. Dan cracked a grin. Aneisha would never lose her sass.
"Hi!" Keri suddenly cried, popping out from behind Aneisha. Melissa gave a small scream, but then narrowed her eyes as she scrutinised Keri.
"Hold on…" she said, tapping her finger on her cheek.
"Oh uh…this is Zoe's twin sister, Keri Summers" Tom said. Keri extended a hand which Melissa took warily.
"I thought Zoe's last name was London" she said slowly.
The team gaped for a while. "Uh…Zoe and I were raised in different families. We were separated at birth".
Melissa put on that faux sympathetic face of hers. "Oh, that sucks. Well Keri, you seem really nice, but I have to go. Lovely meeting you".
As soon as the brunette was out of sight, Aneisha snorted. "Asshole" she said.
"Old hag" Tom said. Dan nodded in agreement but as much as he hated Melissa, she really was a source of amusement.
The four friends started to walk down the halls together. "What did you do during break?" Aneisha asked, disregarding Melissa. Dan took a while to realise that the question was directed at him.
"Nothing much. Skateboarded, and enjoyed life without KORPS" Dan said.
"It's so weird" Keri commented. "Now that KORPS are gone".
"I completely agree" Tom said. "I mean, who are we going to fight now? Another reincarnated version of KORPS?"
Aneisha started to giggle. "If that actually happened, imagine what Stella would do".
"She would flip" Keri said, laughing along.
"She'd go all ape-shit" Dan said and the four teens laughed. Preston suddenly appeared in Dan's peripheral vision. He looked very stern, with his arms crossed.
"Daniel, did I just hear you use profanity? Because as your Head Boy, I don't" he started but Aneisha interrupted him.
"I'm sorry, since when were you Head Boy?" she asked.
Preston looked rather indignant. "Well, the campaigns haven't started yet, but we all know that I'm the only worthy candidate!"
Dan rolled his eyes. He really couldn't care less about Preston and his crap. "I gotta get to class" he said and dodged out of the way. After escaping Preston, Dan leant against the wall and sighed. Senior Year was definitely going to be interesting, so long as he was in this school.
Hope you all enjoy it!
