A/N: Hey everyone :) I've had a really busy week, but I'm glad I could at least fit in this chapter today. So before I start rambling on (as I usually do) let's start this chapter!
School's In Session
Chapter 3: Conflicts
The next day Zoe woke up tiredly and sighed, this wasn't the school year she planned for. Wasn't junior high supposed to be fun and cool? Haha...No.
She rubbed her eyes and stood up from her comfy bed, her hair was tangled and her eyes were sore. Unlike yesteday, when she was overly-excited for school. She had too many things on her mind, what was she even going to do about her friends? She misses her old friends, but she really likes her new ones too. But if that wasn't enough to worry about, Zoe also had to work on the 20 page homework assignment Mrs. Kamika gave the class...Seriously, what is with this teacher!?
Zoe slowly changed into her clothes for the day, a purple tee with denim shorts. She combed her tangled blonde locks and stalked downstairs with her backpack hanging of her shoulders.
Mrs. Orimoto looked at her daughter worriedly "Honey, are you all right? How's school?"
The blonde turned to her mom and put on a fake smile "I'm fine, school's pretty...uhm...interesting"
"Alright then, breakfast is on the table if you want some" her mom replied, walking away into the other room
Zoe grabbed some toast from the counter and munched on it as she put her tennis shoes on. She quickly wiped any stray crumbs on her mouth and opened the door to see none other than Jeri waiting outside for her. She laughed at her friend "How do you get here RIGHT when I come out?"
Jeri scratched her head "I...Don't...Know"
Zoe rolled her eyes and walked along with her friend to school "Jeri, you can be so weird at times"
"Thank you!"
O_O
At school Zoe quickly walked to her next class, until a familiar brunette caught her eye in the crowd. She walked up to him and smiled "Hey Takato!" (Yeah, though it was Takuya didn't cha? lol)
Takato turned to Zoe and smiled "Hey Zoe, what's up?"
Something seemed so weird about Takato to Zoe. Not a bad weird, but a sort of crush-like weird. Could it be because Takato resembled Takuya so well? No, it couldn't be. Zoe didn't like Takuya like THAT. Right? Zoe shrugged off the feeling and regained focus "Nothing much, you?"
Before Takato could answer two boys came running down the hall and right into the gogglehead. One of them had spiky brown hair while the other had glasses on.
Takato winced in pain by the two kids on top of him "Kazu! Kenta! What the heck!?"
Kazu stood up and brushed off the dirt from clothes "Hey there Matsuki, long time no see!" he laughed. He then turned and saw Zoe, his eyes bulged and immediately went into flirt-mode "Hey hot stuff, what's your name?" (-_-)
Zoe backed away and glared at him "Don't test your luck, kid"
"Fiesty I see..." The boy smirked "I like fiesty"
The other boy, Kenta just pushed Kazu aside "Don't worry about him, Kazu has issues"
"I resent that!"
Kenta rolled his eyes and continued "Anyway, I'm Kenta. Nice to meet you" he held out his hand and Zoe gladly shook it "I'm Zoe"
Kazu shoved Kenta back, and that started a whole shoving fight in the middle of the halls. Kids started chanting and cheering while Zoe and Takato slowly backed away from them cautiously.
The two walked together to class and laughed along the way until Takato saw Takuya near the lockers. He walked by and pushed Takuya then continued by as if nothing ever happened. Zoe sighed, she could understand why Takato would do that. But what it will cause won't be so great.
Takuya turned and saw Takato walking passed him. He glared at the other brunette and sighed in dissapointment for why Zoe would have the nerve to even be around that kid. Of course, he only saw the back of her head because Zoe seemed too ashamed to look him in the eye right now.
But this gogglehead had a plan though, a plan to get revenge. He smirked with confidence and walked off to class, positive his plan is going to work.
A/N: Yes I know it was a short chapter, don't sue me! (cowers in fear)
Haha, R&R!
