Chapter 24 - The Plan

><><><>< (Y/N)'s POV ><><><><

**This takes place the day after Travis came up with the plan**

I stared at the ceiling above me, wondering about my feelings. That's what I have been doing since I got back, I just couldn't get my mind off of it. The question was circling my head constantly. 'Do you like Zane?' No matter how many times I answered, my mind would never stop asking me.

I faintly heard a knock on my door behind my thoughts. "Come in," I called out to the person.

Aphmau walked in with a curious look on her face. "What are you doing?" She questioned me, "Are you okay?"

"Yep, I'm fine," I answered her while sitting up and stretching. The first night I got back, I couldn't sleep at all. All my thoughts were surrounding me and repeating itself over and over again. The second night, I got some sleep but not much. Maybe 4 hours, but sleeping for 4 hours in 2 days I know isn't healthy.

"You look tired. I was going to invite you to go to the arcade with everyone but now I'm not really sure."

"Zane's going right?" I asked. 'Why did I ask that? I mean, she knows that I have a crush on him, all the girls do. But it's kind of embarrassing to just blurt that out.' I saw Aphmau nod but still look at me curiously. "Then I'm going."

She grinned at me, "Great! I'll meet you downstairs in 10 minutes." After I heard the door close, I sighed, picking myself up off of the bed. I quickly changed myself into some comfy clothes before brushing my hair so that it wouldn't look all wild. I was kind of nervous because Zane was going to be there. I know the girls wouldn't tell anyone about my crush but I was still kind of worried about them spilling the bean and telling it to Zane. But who knows, he may have a crush on me too.

I quickly hurried down the stairs, meeting up with Katelyn and Aphmau. "I'm ready to go," I smiled at them.

"Do you have a bag?" Katelyn asked me,

"Yeah, why?"

"You might want to bring it, you never know what you'll win," She smiled back at me. I didn't argue with her and just took out a bag from the closet before heading out the door with all of them.

(This is an idea for the clothes you wear, but of course, you don't have to wear it.)

"Boom!" I called out when I crossed the checkered finish line, "First place, again!" Zane, my opponent, groaned as he came rolling in last place. "Zane, just face it, you'll never beat me," I grinned at him."

Zane shot me a glare before standing up out of the seat, "I can beat you! I was just going easy on you because you're a girl!"

"Wow thanks, but it seems like I need to go easier on you because you're a boy," I chuckled, looking as his face turned into a deeper shade of red from anger.

"Then I challenge you to another game!" Zane was enraged from my comment.

"No can do Zane, (Y/N) promised to play some games with me." I turned around to see Snow White (Still remember that nickname? No? Well it's coming back. Btw it's Travis.) He was right, I did promise him a few games right after I beat Zane for the tenth time. If it was my choice, I would continue playing Mario Kart with Zane but apparently, Snow White really wanted to spend time with me.

I stood up out of the chair, "Right, I forgot. Sorry Zane, I'll play some more after. While I play a couple of games you should practice, it seems like you really need it." I smirked as Zane shot daggers at me once again.

"Whatever! I promise the next time I'll beat you!" Zane yelled at me.

"I'm sure you will," I hummed as I walked away with Snow White.

"You're really good friends with him, aren't you?" Snow White asked me in a low voice, making sure no one else would hear.

My face flushed red, "Y-Yeah, I guess." 'Why am I so flustered over him asking if Zane is my good friend? He didn't ask if he was my boyfriend or anything.'

Travis smirked and walked over to the claw machine. "Which one do you want to have?" Snow White asked me, gesturing to the small plushies inside of the machine.

"Um, that one I guess," I pointed to the (F/C) (F/A) trapped inside of the machine, "But you don't have to get it for me, I can get it myself."

"No, no. Let me get it for you," Snow White smiled at me. He was acting really weird and suspicious. I was asking myself what had got into him when the plushie that I said I wanted was handed to me. "The (F/C) (F/A) for the princess!" He announced, grinning at my red cheeks.

'Did he really just say that out loud?' I grabbed the plushie from his hand quickly. "Why did you do that?" I asked, still embarrassed.

"Do what?" He asked me, as oblivious as ever.

"Nevermind," I mumbled, hugging the plushie close to me.

"Let's go to play that game next!" Travis yelled, pointing to the Pac-Man arcade machine. I didn't really care what we played, I just wanted to get back and play Mario Kart with Zane as soon as possible. With that, I obliged and started to walk over to the arcade machine only to be taken down by a heavier figure.

I hit the floor pretty hard but it wasn't anything overwhelming. What did freak me out was when I opened my eyes. Travis was situated on top of me, his cheeks red and his eyes had a sorry look in them. But before I could do anything, Travis was ripped off of me by Zane. "What the heck!" Zane yelled at Travis, his hand still gripping onto his shirt.

"I-I just tripped!" Travis said in defense, holding his hands up.

"From what I saw, you didn't trip at all! You did that on purpose!" Zane argued back. I have never seen Zane this angry before. He was absolutely enraged. A hand was put in front of my face, causing me to look at the owner. I took Aphmau's hand and stood up, thanking her.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Travis responded, trying to walk away but Zane wouldn't let go of his shirt.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about! You're not allowed to do that to her!"

"Well, it's not like you're dating or anything," Travis smiled at him.

Zane hesitated at first but leaned in close to his ear, saying something that I couldn't hear. Travis' face paled and his eyes went wide before Zane let go of his shirt, glaring at him. Zane looked at me and quickly took my hand, pulling me out of the arcade.

Next week I will probably not post. the reason being, I have band camp Monday through Friday from 8:00 am - 8:30 pm. Now for people who think, 'Why would she not post that week, marching band is not hard.' I can't walk right now, my legs hurt too much. And I only went for two days from 8 am - 5 pm. Next week is going to be awful for me but I'll try my best to write as much as I can for all of you. Have a great day (or night) Reader~Chans.

Also, credit for the plan goes to *drum roll* :

I think I've used one of your ideas before and they're so good, I'll probably be using more of them. Thank you so much for your suggestion!
