Chapter 25
Intervention
My god what a day! Okay, let's just start by what happened last night, cause I didn't finish. Mei texted us. The all group. She just said to quickly come to her place, cause she needed our help. So I rushed there. I mean, she doesn't live far, so I just yelled "I'm going to Mei's" so dads would hear me, and I rode my bike to her place. I was the first there. She told her parents she was organizing a revision session. So they just let me in, didn't ask why I didn't take anything to work either. Anyway as soon as I was in her room she couldn't even wait for the others to arrive. She just told me.
Zarya resign from the school. She said she couldn't work there anymore, and she found a job as a coach in one of the fitness hall in town. And the only reason she did so was so she could be with Mei. And that's not the only thing. That was why she called us last night. Because Zarya was going to ask permission to date Mei to her parents, and Mei panicked, so she called us to ask us what to do. I told her let her try, and if thinks go south I will have a free room for her in two months, so she can stay on the couch until then. Thankfully Lucio and Lena arrived before anything happened. We all tried to comfort her. Time ticked by and still no sign of Zarya, so I began to think that she had changed her mind. But no, the door did rang, and Zarya did come to talk to Mei's parents. We all hid in the staircase.
It was very sweet actually. She explained the situation, how Mei and her had been secretly dating because neither of them wanted to be in trouble, and how she decided to resign from the school. She even said that she was in love with Mei. Mei was literally crying beside us. And then her parents asked her to come down, so she had to go in the living room on her own, and confirm what Zarya had said. Her father was very much against it, but her mom tried to convince him. In the end, he was still not okay with it, but he decided to let them be. I swear I was holding my breath the entire time.
So we could have celebrated hadn't everyone been thrown out of the house by Mei's dad, who pretty much guessed we were in the stairs when we all let out celebratory cries. We are not very good at discretion.
But if you thought that was the big news for tonight, oh boy. Okay, so remember how I said that Lucio and I became kind of awkward, and we had a presentation to work on? Well I don't know about the presentation, but we are not awkward anymore. Oh no. We are dating now.
I kind of realized the only reason I was being awkward was because of what Zeny told me when we were at the mall. So I tried to talk it out with Lucio, we had a little chat, and we both thought it was stupid to start dating now after I had said no at the beginning of the school year. But then we kind of kissed. And then we kind of made out for a half and hour. I really felt stupid then cause like I said, we could have been doing this so much earlier. So we decided, "fuck it, let's date." I'm not afraid of breaking our friendship anymore, cause I realized that this was just the next step. I mean, who wouldn't want to be dating their best friend? Our friendship is strong enough to survive a breakup, but I doubt we will ever break up.
I haven't told dads and Sombra yet, but they'll probably figure it out sooner or later. I mean, Sombra will definitely notice something on Monday, like the rest of our friends, and as long as dads don't explode upon hearing the news, we should be fine. If not, I'll ask Ana to tie them up every time I go on a date, to make sure they don't spy on me.
A/N: Hurray, the ship has sailed! But, hey, better late than never, am I right? I wanted to thank NinjaSamurai2017 for the review, now you know why the cliffhanger.
Now there is something I really wanted to talk about. For the past few days every time I've posted a chapter I've received an error message. Now this would have been a problem but the chapters are still being posted anyway, as you may have noticed. However notifications are no longer being sent. Maybe some of you have noticed. Now I don't know what to do about it, it's not something that I can fix, I'll just hope the website does something about it. Anyway, I still wanted to thank all of you who stuck with me through this story. Just a few more chapters before the big spink-off conclusion. I'll see you tomorrow!
