((Yup yup, I got caught up in math homework oops)
Edith bit her lip.
"I dunno. They feel you are oh so unattractive because you hate animals of any kind?" Edith laughed.
"Just make something up, and make it believable." She just wanted to be the only girl around him, and no one else.
(Lol okay.)
Zack frowned slightly. "But didn't you say you wanted me to kill them? So are you saying I should make them like… commit suicide or something? Maybe push them off a cliff while hiking? You've really got to make up your mind."
"W-wait, I said that?" Edith blushed in the darkness.
"I just want them away from you, not to become a murderer." She said, inching closer to him unconciously.
"How about… You know what, can't you just ignore them all, stay a good distance away from them, and if they push, reply coldy." Edith said.
"Yeah, I already do that," Zack replied bitterly. "I don't need a Contract for it to register." Zack squinted harder. Who in the world was talking to him? "And yeah, you did say that. Don't worry, I've killed a lot of people."
(Running out of ideas for how to get the girls the heck away from Zack-
assuming that you want blood and death,, idc though)
Edith nodded thoughtfully.
"Fine then. Make them accidents though, I really don't want to be anywhere near that." Edith shuddered.
(No, I think she just said oh lol kill them but that's how Zack took it.)
Zack grunted. "They deserve to be terminated off campus anyway. I'll do it. Without a Contract, too," Zack growled with a chuckle.
"Oh. Well then, uh… How was your day? I'm Edith, if you didn't know." Edith smiled at him expectantly.
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
Zack flicked some of his long hair out of his eyes. "It was fine, thank you for asking. How was yours?"
Edith glanced up at the sky nervously before replying.
"It was, ok.. Uh," She changed the topic casually.
"It's getting pretty dark out. I should head back to the dorm before I get locked out. You too!" She nudged him playfully.
"So, I'll see you tommorrow?" She asked, her feet shuffling awkwardly.
Zack stuck his hands in his pockets. "I don't board with anyone, so I'm not really worried about it… Yeah, sure, see you. I have a soccer practice tomorrow, and a therapy session, so I'll probably see you sometime at night."
"Oh, uh.. I'm usually one of the girls that go watch your soccer practices." She said quickly.
"I've never went directly up to you before though, so I guess it is reasonable for you not to spot me." She laughed wearily. She brushed her hands off on her pants and promptly shoved them in her pockets.
"Alright. I'll see you tommorrow, then." She repeated, finally trudging off towards the direction of her dorm room. She glanced at the watch on her wrist. At this time, her room mates were most likely asleep already. With a startled yelp, she also noticed that it was already past midnight. The gates to the entrance were probably locked up tight already.
She did a 180.
"Zack, could you.. Do me another favor?" She said quietly. Somehow she had to scale the wall to the school entrance, and then get back into her quarters without alerting the night guards. They would definitely give her a scolding for staying up so late outside.
Zack started to trot at a brisk pace back to his dorm, only pausing when she stopped him. He raised his eyebrows, shifting his weight. He wasn't really sure how to think of this girl. She seemed very possesive but nervous and jumpy. It kind of confused him rather than alarmed him.
"Yeah, sure, what can I do for you?" He asked slowly, rolling his shoulders back.
"Uhm.. You said that you didn't need to worry about the dorm thing, so could you help me with mine?" She paused to catch her breath.
"I need someone to help me get over the gates." Edith was slightly embarrassed at her reasoning, feeling stupid for having to ask him such question. She brushed a miniscule flake of dust off of the red jacket she had put on for warmth.
Zack crossed his arms a little, raising his eyebrows. "Why don't you just come with me?" He questioned, leaning back on a heel.
"W-wait what?" Edith stuttered. The red on her jacket seemed to transfer itself onto her face. She worked hard to calm it, but the tomato red only turned into a deeper crimson.
"What do you mean by that?" She inquired. For a moment she thought she misheard the comment.
"Come with me? I have an extra room you can sleep in. Plus I need to log the Contract," Zack mumbed, sticking his hands in his pockets. He sighed lowly and glanced back at her.
"You don't have to, though."
"I'd love to!" Edith pounced on the opportunity. She quickly ran back and fell into step behind him. She made sure not to stray too close to him, as to keep his personal space. Reaching behind her, she fixed her hair up into a messy bun. This is the best I can do for now. Edith would neaten it later.
"Alright, my car's just up here. I live across campus, so it'll be a few minute drive." He took his car keys from his pocket and pressed a button, and an old, black car beeped from their right. He trotted down into the driver's seat with a sigh.
Edith nodded obediently. She followed him to a slightly banged up black car, glee bubbling up inside her.
"I claim shotgun!" She said to nobody in general. Opening the car door, she slipped inside gracefully and fastened her seatbelt.
She giggled. Believe it or not, this was her first time riding shotgun. When her mother still drove her places, she was always assigned to the back because her annoying older brother claimed it every. single. time.
Edith patted her seat, and then sat quietly.
"I hope I'm not disturbing you too much." She said.
Zack plopped down in the car, taking off his coat and stretching out his legs before buckling in and starting the car. He ignored her patting, and just her in general, and pulled out of the parking space.
"You're not. So, the room of question you'll be sleeping in isn't all done up yet, so you'll have to let me set it up first. I wasn't expecting a guest." He laughed softly. He was kind of tired, so that's quite the reason why he wasn't talking much. Plus, he wasn't a big talking person to begin with.
Turning toward him, Edith sighed in gratitude.
"You can't imagine how life-saving you are right now. Thanks." She shook her head.
"With testing coming up soon, I'd be better off dead then find somewhere else to sleep for the night." If she tried by herself, she would have never been able to get over the gate, much less find time to sleep after that.
Edith grimaced when the headlights of the car flashed. Her sensitive eyes screamed in pain, and she ducked and covered her pupils with her palms as the car jerked forward out of the parking lot.
Zack paused by gently pushing at the break rather than slamming on it (like he wanted) when she screamed.
"What in Hell's wide Earth are you screamingg about?" He asked, already looking exasperated and rather shaken up.
(The part that said, "Her sensitive eyes screamed in pain," meant that her eyes hurt ;w;)
(Ye I know lol)
(Wait then why did you write it as if she literally screamed? Im so confused ajfoipwehgpoh)
