Chapter 6! Sorry it took so long. Review please & thanks.
"Hey, Zoe! Whatcha doing?" Zoe heard someone yell from behind her shoulder. School hadn't begun yet so Zoe was sitting on the steps outside the school by her self.
"Takuya! Don't sneak up on me like that!" she said startled.
"Sorry. So what are you doing here by yourself?" he said sitting down next to her.
"I'm just waiting for someone."
"Oh. Do you mind if I keep you company?"
"That'd be great." she smiled. They both sat there for a while.
"So..." Takuya said trying to start a conversation of some kind.
"Takuya, I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday during class." Zoe said. To be honest, she was kind of glad that Takuya's partner was a guy. She didn't want to see him being together with another girl.
"It's not that bad. Spencer's really good with babies because he has three younger brothers, so I actually don't mind having him as a partner."
"That's good to hear."
"So how are things going with you and Lucas? You guys have been spending a lot of time together lately..." he said sounding a little sad.
"Yeah, well he's a really cool person. You should hang out with him more often. You'd really like him."
"I doubt it." he muttered to himself. "So, are you and Lucas, um, you know..."
"No. No, we're just friends." she said quickly.
"Oh." he said a little relieved. "Listen, Zoe, about the dance coming up, I was wondering if you still wanted to-"
"Zoe!" someone said, cutting Takuya off.
"Lucas!" Zoe smiled and stood up to greet him.
"Sorry I took so long. This stupid baby kept me up all night." Lucas said.
"It's ok. So are we still on for tonight?" Zoe asked.
"You bet. Meet me after school so I can walk you home."
"But I live pretty far from here."
"So? It will give us a chance to spend more time together." Lucas said sweetly. Takuya saw Zoe blush a little. He had never felt more sick in his life.
"Ok, so I should get going now. Class is going to start soon. I'll see you later." he said.
"Ok. Bye Lucas." Zoe waved.
"Bye Zoe. Bye Takuya."
"Buh-bye." Takuya said in a very non-enthusiastic way.
"What's happening tonight?" Takuya asked Zoe when Lucas left.
"Oh, um, Lucas is coming over. You know, so we can work on our assignment."
"I thought your parents would never in a million years let you have boys over."
"Well, the thing is, they kind of don't know. They're not going to be home today, so I figured, what they don't know can't hurt them, or me for that matter."
"Oh. So... you and Lucas, are going be at your house, together... alone...?"
"I guess."
Takuya felt his heart explode when he heard that. He couldn't speak for a few moments.
"Hey Takuya, what were you going to ask me about before Lucas came?"
"Um, nothing. It's not important. I have to go, Zoe." Takuya rushed off without even waiting for her to say goodbye.
Takuya leaned the back of his head against the wall. He remembered when he and Zoe used to be really close. After they had gotten back from the digital world it seemed like they spent every waking moment together. It was as if every time he saw her, his feelings towards her became stronger. But they were both still pretty young, and didn't know how to handle their feelings. And as Zoe got older, more boys started noticing her. Takuya felt like she didn't need him any longer. Eventually they both just started drifting apart from each other. He didn't realize how much he still cared about her until now.
Looks like I've lost her for good this time. He thought.
