"Who else would I be talking about? Lillian, of course!" She said, and you responded with a deadpan look
"What? Isn't your best friend someone very special in your life?"
"Y-Yeah but not in that way" You said
"That's only because you aren't the sharpest tool in the shed" She giggled
"I mean, I know she's a bit chunky, but she's still one of the prettiest girls at school. That huge booty still turns many heads, you know?" She then said, and you simply had an uncomfortable look
"I'm pretty sure Lillian would absolutely adore to have you at this size" She said, and that's when your blood ran cold and began shuddering, your brain already imagining such a nefarious scenario
"You could easily please dat ass and make it yours" She whispered with a giggle, and you could swear you felt your face turn blue from fear
"Jokes aside... I'm not supposed to tell you this, but I feel like you don't know yourself"
"What?" You asked almost by reflex
"We both know she'll probably fart on you a lot" She smiled, but you could only feel your body get colder from terror.
"But you must know that for her it's a form of affection" She said in a surprisingly sincere-sounding tone, but it was too ludicrous for you to believe
"How come she's not farting on you all the time then?" You asked after taking a deep breath and recovering some bravery.
"To be fair, she does sometimes, and I'm sure you know she also does on Jen on occasion... but she's said before that most of them are meant for you"
"Huh?!" You were far more baffled when you heard that
"I'm not kidding. I swear it on my life and my prodigious brain that it's 100% true. She's told me that she mostly farts on you because that's her way to show you her affection... but maybe she could have some other motive, I honestly don't know, but she sounded sincere" She said, but then she smiled
"Anyway... You could make your pretty best friend very happy if we showed you to her like this and let her give you all of her 'affection'. I'm pretty sure something real nice could happen" She said in a rather suggestive tone that gave you chills
"Wait, wait, wait! Zuemy... come on" You tried pleading
"Even you must know that's far too much of a punishment" You said.
"I mean, seriously? W-what have I even done to you?" You mentally fumbled for any way to try and appeal your way out of this one
"It's not a punishment though" Zuemy said with a somewhat confused expression. How sincerely that came out only served to leave you even more baffled than you were at the beginning
"Huh?!"
"I wasn't joking, Blaise. I really meant what I said. And I think it'd be a good chance to make her really happy with you" She said.
"You may not have noticed... but she does feel rejected by you in some ways" She added in a more solemn tone
"Well, she farts all the time, I don't exactly want to have her close when she's gonna blow up" You said, trying to joke to ease the mood at first, but gave up mid-way as you saw the stern look in her eyes
"Oh boy... You don't get it" Zuemy quietly chuckled
"I know I haven't been the best to you for a long time, which is why I'm trying to make things better now" she said.
"Wasn't it because this is technically cleaning up after your own mess?" You raised an eyebrow.
"First of all, whoah! Rude... I might prank you, tease you and mess with you in general... probably more than I should, but it's not like I don't care about you at all" She explained. There was a hint in her voice that she was hurt by how you viewed her.
"If I didn't worry something bad could happen I wouldn't even have been able to save you" She added, and you meekly nodded.
"True, sorry"
"Second... Sad but true, I will admit that this got kickstarted by Celeste creating this whole mess" She sighed.
"But we can make the best of it, it's an unique chance!" She said in a more cheerful tone than before
"Yeah but your idea of making things better is apparently making me Lillian's fart toy" You crossed your arms
"I'd say you already were that long before any shrinking got involved" She laughed and stuck her tongue at you while your eyes widened and you blushed out of sheer embarrassment
"Now, jokes aside, I mean it for real... I'm telling you these things because you don't notice... and I don't really blame you, most guys don't really perceive these kinds of things" She shrugged
"So, back to the important topic here. Lillian is aware you try to keep her at arms' length a lot of the time"
"Wait, what? We spend a lot of time together whenever we're not at school... I even end up having to put up with her farts anyway, even if I don't want to" You said, feeling that had been an unfair accusation
"That's true. But almost literally any other girl will take precedence over her when given the chance" Zuemy then said, to which you were even more baffled
"You might as well be speaking Mandarin because I didn't understand a lick of that" You crossed your arms.
"Fine. I'll be blunt. You'll ditch Lillian every time Jen decides to give you the time of the day... and before you say anything, yes, I know she tags along like half of the time, but it's become kind of a trend that anything that has to do with Jen will be much more of a priority for you than anything involving Lillian"
"Uhhh..." You felt uncomfortable at that remark... you were hoping it wasn't so obvious, that you were just giving your best shot at spending the most time you could with Jen to find the courage and a good moment to finally ask her out. Zuemy gave you a stern glare and raised an eyebrow
"And that's not even the only instance. I know of that Indian freshman that has been trying to lure you away from both Jen and Lillian for the past year"
"Y-Yamile? She's only a friend I barely hang out with, and that's something completely apart from Jen and Lillian..." You said, a bit surprised that she knows, but also by how she worded it. Zuemy loudly sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, as if dealing with a really dumb child
"Yes, Blaise. Yamile. It should be pretty friggin obvious that she's interested in you... otherwise why wouldn't she try to integrate to our friend group?" She was now scolding you more than your own mother had ever done, as far as you could recall, which was especially odd coming from Zuemy of all people
"Well, Jen's part of it but you also seem to have a problem with her too" You replied
"She arrived much later. You and Lillian go all the way back to kindergarten, Cindy and I to early Elementary. Jen's only been around since middle school" Zuemy said
"Besides, my point is that as far as Lillian is concerned, she's like the least important person in your list, you take her for granted"
Now that was a sharp retort like a stab right at the heart. You even flinched, almost physically feeling it. Zuemy smiled, however
"I know you didn't do it out of malice. You have a good heart, Blaise, but you need to be more aware of stuff, lil' Zuemy won't always be around to be your friggin Navi whenever you get lost at life" She playfully poked your whole body with her fingertip to drive her point
"There's one more thing, though..." She said. You looked up at her, with no idea what was coming next
"That little incident... you know, where a certain beautiful senior asked you out?"
"HUH?!" Your eyes widened
"Okay, hold it right there!" You pointed out with your finger like you were in a Phoenix Wright game.
"How... the hell... do you even know about that?!"
"That one actually slipped past me" Zuemy chuckled
"But the thing is... Lillian knows" She said in that solemn tone from earlier
"And she's hurt by it"
"Wat" You felt like your brain was melting. Then, you suddenly shuddered and felt as if you were being watched. A shadowy silhouette moved around the corner of your eye, but it was so fast it could've been your brain playing tricks on you. You quickly disregarded it and hoped it was just that
"She was the one who told me, actually. I don't know how, but I guess she has her ways just like I have mine" Zuemy shrugged again
"Wait a moment, nothing ever came of it! I didn't even get a chance to respond!" You complained
"Hmm? I don't think Lillian caught that part... she was sure you'd say 'yes'" Zuemy said with a thoughtful expression.
"Anyway... all of these things have hurt her quite a lot. I think you could patch things up nicely by giving her this unique gift" She smiled at you. You gulped in fear in response
"Aww, Blaise, come on! You're nearly invulnerable, nothing she'll do will hurt you for real, but she'll be really happy" She said-
"Besides... can you tell me in all honesty that you don't like her huge ass?" She suggestively asked, wiggling her eyebrows while you instantly blushed all the way to tomato red and looked away
"Knew it. So it's not like you won't get to enjoy some of it anyway" She shrugged while giving you a mischievous smile.
"If you get her in a really good mood I'm sure she'll be more than happy to repay the favor" She whispered, but that only made you gulp harder
Before you could give any reply, she shoved you in her back pocket, pressed against the huge gelatinous mass that was one of her enormous cheeks, encased in jean shorts that looked almost painted on on her, she went to find Lillian and entrust you to her 'care'
Shortly after Zuemy left the gym, which was still unused at this time, it turned out that there were 2 feminine silhouettes lurking in the shadows, and they followed
