Twisted
I think this story is mostly going to be about Maya and Zig, but most of the time, it's between Clare and Drew. Okay? Okay.
Miles' POV:
Things have been different between Maya and I, very different. I'm getting conspicuous. This whole week she has been super clingy. I hope it isn't because of this Zig character... "Hey Miles." Maya followed me to class. "Maya," I spoke, pulling her to the side. "This whole week you've been following me around. Now tell me what's wrong. Is it because of Zig?" she winced, her fingernails digging into my arm. "Fine," she sighed hopelessly. "It is about Zig. He's been bothering me all week, and I can't even take the heat anymore, Miles." she looked down at the ground. "Maya," I sighed. "You have to stay strong. Now I have to go. Do you want me to talk to him for you?" I ask.
"No thanks, I'll talk to him myself." she quietly squealed. "Fine, but I'm here when you need me. I gotta go." I kissed her quickly and left.
Maya's POV:
I searched for Zig thoroughly. I finally went to the gym, and found him, scorning. "Zig!" I ran up to him. "You worried me. I thought I had lost you! Don't ever scare me like that again." I said, concerned. "Get away... From me." he spoke, pulling out of my grasp. "I don't understand why..." I spoke, raising an eyebrow. "God dammit, Maya! Get out of here!" I winced. "Not until you tell me why." I stood my ground, gulping. He left the gym. "Zig, just tell me what's wrong." I spoke, running to keep up with him. "No, and that's final." Zig said, coldhearted, and left me. I don't understand boys, I never will.
"Fine! Leave me like you always do!" I shouted at his disappearing figure. "Having trouble with boys, Maya?" I turned to see Imogen. "Oh, Imogen. It's you. I need serious help on guys." I sighed hopelessly. "Well, first of all, you obviously shouldn't stress. They're boys, they'll come. Second of all, Tristan needs you. You should go to him." I nodded. I was going to get Zig's attention, I was going to take drastic actions. I was going to ditch school.
Zig's POV:
I went into class, and sat next to Zoë. "You will get drama scenes to do in a group. Of course, I will pick your partners." the instructor told us. We groaned. "Oh, c'mon. It'll be fun." we groaned again. "Okay. Zoë, May- Hey, has anyone seen Ms. Matlin? No? Okay."
Clare's POV:
"Zoë, Maya, Zig. Clare, Miles, Drew. Tristan, Imogen, feel free to join any group." she went on naming the groups. After class, I talked to Drew. "Hey Drew. I guess we're partners for the drama act." I sheepishly laughed. "Haha, yeah," he laughed. "It's gonna be great. Don't worry about it." he smiled.
The funny thing is, I like him. We knew each other since, like what, the second grade? Hahahahaha, oh sorry.
Flashback (second grade)...
I was sitting down at recess, reading Pride and Prejudice. "Hey, Clare, you wanna come here?" Drew threw a ball through the basketball hoop. "Uhh, sure." I uncomfortably put down my book at a safe location and straightened myself up before walking to Drew. "Hey Drew! You wanna shoot some hoops?" a group of guy friends asked. Drew shook his head. "Maybe tomorrow?" he asked politely. "Clare," he spoke, pulling me to the side.
I was in a very uncomfortable situation. "I have a gift." he pulled out a homemade bracelet. "Drew, it's so pretty." I smiled. "The bracelet's pretty, like you." he loosened the bracelet and put it around my hand. I blushed as he said that sentence.
"I have another surprise for you," he exhaled. "My friend, he has a crush on you. Don't tell him that I told you that, okay?" I nodded. "Pinky promise?" he held out a pinky. I corresponded the action.
He then hugged me.
I smiled at his cuteness.
...
"I need to ask you though, I don't need a costume 'cause I have one. But do you need a pretty dress?" I cringed at the word pretty. "Uh, yeah, but don't worry. I'll make a dress." I struggled to find words.
"Hey Clare," Drew pulled me aside. "That gossip has been pretty far lately. Apparently, I like you," he laughed. I fake laughed and hit him. "Ouch. So, to clear peer conclusions, do you like me?" I gulped. "Oh, no." I lied to him. "Oh good. I like you as a friend and a friend only." he exhaled. "Oh goodie." I say through gritted teeth. "Oh, don't take it the wrong way. I was just making a point. I'm saying that you're my close friend. I would never date you because I don't wanna jeopardize our friendship." ouch. That hurt. The next day, I called Drew and Miles to figure out the scene.
"Hey guys." I said. "S'up?" Drew and Miles heard me.
Maya's POV:
I was going to skip another day of school today. I heard my phone beep, it was Zig, my secret boyfriend.
Hey Maya. Are you okay? - Ziggie1019.
I texted him back.
But why would you care? You didn't even care about me yesterday. :/ - MayaVTristan.
Look, I'm sorry. I care about you too much. I'll back off. - Ziggie1019.
Lol. You wouldn't even care if I died! - MayaVTristan.
Who said I wouldn't? - Ziggie1019.
U would? - MayaVTristan.
Of course! Look, I'm getting pissed off. Stop with this, Maya. - Ziggie1019.
Make me, Zig. - MayaVTristan.
Right. You don't have the right guts in your body to make me shut the heck up. So STFU. - MayaVTristan.
You should shut your fucking mouth. - Ziggie1019.
Make me, Ziggie. Or are you too scared? Boohoo. - MayaVTristan.
Look outside your window. - Ziggie1019.
He tapped at my living room window, asking me to open it. I opened the window, wondering why he's here. "Why are you here?" I asked. "Do you not want me here?" the famous smirk on his face. "No, no. You can come in." he climbed up my window with my help.
"Aren't you supposed to be in school?" I asked. "Would I pass up the chance to talk to my girlfriend?" he sat down. "Mmm, you're right," I smiled. "Thank you, Zig. You're so sweet." I laid my head on his shoulder. He kissed my head. "You're welcome. Wait, you told him, right?" I separated from him. "No, I'm still waiting for that right moment. I'll tell him, I swear." I swore. "Good. You're such a good girlfriend." I shrugged. "Mmm, you're right again." he put his arms on my waist and kissed me against the couch.
I gave him a hickey, marking my territory. He reached underneath my shirt as I gasped.
Drew's POV:
I miss Adam so much. Adam died just last year, I just feel grieved. "Hey Drew, you okay?" Clare asked. "Oh hey, you're wearing my bracelet." I tried to change the subject, noticing the black and purple stripes on her bracelet. "Oh yeah," she toyed with her bracelet. "Drew? Are we friends?" she asked me, still toying with her bracelet. "Of course we are. We go way back." I replied with a grin. "Okay, good. Do you want... To come by my house? After school?" she asked, looking at the ground. "Uh, sure. Why not?" I recollected.
Flashback (fourth grade)...
I was playing volleyball with a few friends, Josh, Maggie, and Victoria. "Good throw, dude." Josh said, throwing me a high-five. "Mind if I, uh?" I asked. "Go talk to her." he replied. "Dude, thank you so much." I spoke, running into Clare's direction.
I had a mild crush on her...
"Woah there, tiger." Clare joked. "You do know that the speed limit is at least forty, right?" she laughed. "Yeah, I know." I replied. "Anyways, I wanted to talk to ya." I smiled. She put her book down, and pulled me aside. "Yeah?" she asked. I got comfortable, so I pushed her chin up so she would look at me, with those big brown eyes. She giggled. "What is it you wanted to talk about?" she smiled. "Well, we could start with this," I kissed her lips softly. She blushed furiously.
"I wanted to ask you something. What was it? If I don't have a girlfriend in high school, will you be mine?" I asked, holding her hand. She bit her lip. "Sure. That's very sweet of you, thank you." she hugged me and went back to the place where she left her book.
...
I think the crush is starting to come back. "Drew." Clare interrupted my thoughts. "Drive me?" she asked. "Okay." I replied. "Hey, have you seen Maya?" probably making out with her boyfriend... "Umm, no. No, I haven't." I hesitated.
The bell rang, and I drove Clare home. On the car ride, we talked. "We need to find out what we are going to do with our scene." Clare blabbered. "Um, maybe we could get home first." we laughed. "Drew," she smiled. "I'm being serious." that was a cute smile. "... I'm being silly, Clare, and I'm not taking it back." I smiled, as she hit me playfully. "Oh no, you don't." she laughed.
"Alright, here we go." I pulled up her driveway. "Thank you, Drew. I owe ya one." I pulled her car door open as she got out. "You don't owe me anything, Edwards." I replied. She stared at me dreamily and looked at the ground right after I stared at her. She had this pink shade of blush. "So... You wanna come in?" she asked quietly, staring at the ground, not daring to look at me. "... Sure." I smirked.
