Philophobic novel Chapter 6

"Oh, your voice....it's so manly." He smiled while facing the other side to avoid my eyes. "Why don't you talk much?" He shrugged. "You must be a loner, like me. I love being alone. People can get really annoying." He stared at me with a smile. "Why'd you change schools?"

"People were afraid of Zack. Just like now. Except Zee."

"Why are they afraid of you? You don't seem scary at all, when you're not being serious and all that."

"The rumors. But Zack was homeschooled most of his life."

"Oh, well rumors are just rumors. I don't listen to them, I ask directly. That's why I asked if your family's rich, and you said no. But I don't believe you after today's shopping spree. Anyways, why did you take me shopping? You don't know me at all."

"I see Zee as a nice person so Zack thought maybe Zee and Zack could be friends."

"Friends? You want to be friends with me?" He nodded. "Why? When people see me they either laugh or get disgusted."

"Zee and Zack alike."

"How?" I smirked.

"Outcasts."

"Hmm." I guess he's right. An ice cream van passed by and stopped for all the happy children. "Ooh, wait here." I ran for the truck. I bought two cones and ran back to him. I handed him one, instead of taking it he stared at me. "What? Just take it"

"Z-Zack can't."

"Why?"

"Zee used her money, Zack pay Zee back." He took out his wallet.

"Put your wallet back and take the ice cream."

"But-"

"Just take the damn ice cream." He frowned then took it. I sat next to him. After one lick he went crazy.

"Oh, this is really good."

"You sound like it's your first time eating ice cream." His smiled disappeared. "Wait, you've never had ice cream before?" He shook his head. "How is that even possible?"

"Parents have a strict diet plan. Zack used to it though." He continued eating. That's pretty weird. I've never met anyone who's never eaten ice cream before. What kind of parents would do that?! But I'm not surprised, looking at his physique.
