Chapter Text
Claire’s pov:
Claire was zoning out in history class, like normal, when the home bell went, 'finally' Claire thought.
as she skipped outside, someone ran into her back, making her fall over and everything from her bag spill out, annoying, but she could deal with it.
Claire turned around to see Zip also on the ground, Zip ran into her by accident, but that wasn't what Claire was focused on, it was what she was picking up.
She saw a small glimpse of drawings Zip made and her diary, the drawings were of her and she could catch her name written in zips diary, zip had been acting weirdly lately and especially to her, but she was to tired to do care about it, she just wanted to go home.
"Sorry zip!" Claire said with a smile and she put her things back in her bag.
"Huh? Oh i-it's fine" Zip said, small blushing on her cheeks that wasn't noticeable enough for Claire, especially when she was tired.
Claire stuffed her things in her bag and left without a single word, she stepped outside to see it raining, great, she thought, she didn't have any other form of transportation other than walking so that was even more annoying, but it wasn't like she could change the weather, she was just some random teenager.
The walk home felt longer than usual, but it wasn't, she was going the path she always went, just felt slower cause of her mood, which was as gloomy as the weather.
After a long walk home, she took her shoes off and went to her room to fall onto her bed, after about 20 minute of laying down she finally grabbed her phone.
she turned do not disturb off to see how many notifications she got, she had 99+, which was surprising as no one really texted her that much.
it was mainly Engel and Bubble screaming about how zip ran into Claire and DIDN'T bully her or yell at her, not even a "move out of the way next time", which come to think of it was kinda werid.
normally Zip would SCREAM at someone if they got in her way while she was running somewhere, but instead said it was fine, as well as seeming nervous, it was confusing, especially since she didn't change her bullying ways or anything, the second before the bell went she was bullying Kevin, throwing paper planes and laughing.
She's not one to change at all, let alone that quickly, but apparently Claire's an IDIOT cuz she just shrugged it off, maybe she was just tired like Claire was? "Whatever" Claire said, as she turned her phone off and decided to take a nap, she
Zip’s pov:
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!!!" Zip yelled as she buried her head into her knees, she's had crushes before and they've went away but none have been THIS serious, she fell head over heals for Claire the moment she first saw her, she was able to cover it for the first day but it just got worse and worse the longer she hid it.
Everything about Claire is perfect, her brown-ish ginger hair is cut perfectly, her green bow complements her eyes so well, her smile is soft but comforting and she's extremely nice, she's just everything Zip's not, there was no way Claire would love her back, but this feeling wouldn't go away.
She was horrified to ask her, knowing her, and her current situation, if Claire rejected her, she'd go into heartbreak straight away, and not something she'd recover from, I'd probably be so serious she'd die from heartbreak, plus, she was a bitch to Claire during her first day, there was no possibility of her liking her, but she knew she couldnt keep these feelings in forever, so what was she supposed to do?
Zip just couldn't fall asleep even if she tried, because her thoughts of Claire Intruped every second of peace, she's been struggling to keep focus in class, and it's worse in the classes they share together, so she's been getting low grades in almost every class.
even her drawings recently were just drawings of Claire, capturing every perfect detail about her, she was obsessed with Claire at this point, she picked up her diary to get her feelings out.
Dear diary, date: __/__/____
These feelings haven't gotten any better, if so, they've gotten worse, it's as if i'm hyperfixated on her, or in other terms, obsessed with her, I wanna confess to her but she probably hates me already, plus, we're opposites, she'd never like a girl like me, I didn't think I'd like a girl like her myself, but something about her makes me obsessed with her, many things about her, she's just perfect, everything anyone could dream of, everything I dream of, going to the same school as me.
I'm getting cared away, I just can't stop thinking about her, if only she would like me back.
Zip sighed as she closed her diary and put in on her side table, she tried her hardest to get to sleep but she just couldn't sleep.
The only thing she could think of was Claire, this wasn't normal, maybe she's just weird, or just obsessed,but why, why did this happen to her, and about Claire? Why her, they're polar opposites, she just didn't get it.
After tossing and turning till 5am, Zip managed to get sleep, not much though, she wakes up at 7am, resulting in her getting 2 hours of sleep, but it's better than 0 at least.
