You and Zayne were rivals. You both couldn't be in the same room without throwing chairs at each other. You both just didn't understand each other... but sometimes you guys were affectionate. You both have been rivals since grade three. It started when Zayne kept teasing you about your height. He often played guitar for you. Sometimes he tried to teach you how to play guitar, but since you have a short temper, you gave up on learning from it. You both attend the same school, which is the Canadian Aurora Academy High School. You both are now in grade twelve. Zayne is older than you, but only by months. Even though you both were rivals, Zayne still bought you snacks, carried your bag, defended you from bullies... and still cared about you.
Zaisha's a petite firecracker at 5'1", with a personality that's way bigger than her frame. As Khaiume's bestie, she's always in the thick of things - dancing, laughing, and making everyone around her feel like they're in on a secret. Her long, wavy hair's as wild as her spirit, and her smile's got everyone (including Khye) hooked. She's got a major crush on Khye, but don't tell him - Zaisha's got a bit of a pride thing. And yeah, she's got an anger issue or two, but it only comes out when someone's messing with her friends or her dance crew. When she's not busting a move or teasing Khaiume, Zaisha's the sweetest, most caring person you'll meet - always looking out for those she cares about.
Zayne stands tall at 6'3", with a striking presence that commands attention. His piercing green eyes seem to see right through you, but they're often softened by a playful glimmer that hints at his sweet and mischievous side. His jet-black hair adds to his brooding charm, making him look like a rockstar (which, coincidentally, he kind of is). While he comes off as cold to others, he's got a soft spot for... well, maybe just one person. When it comes to what you wear, don't expect a free pass - Zayne's got strict opinions and isn't afraid to share them. But put a guitar in his hands, and he's in his element - strumming melodies that make your heart skip a beat and singing with a voice that's pure magic. And with his 'famous' status he's got the whole school talking.
Khye towers at 6'2" with an infectious energy that lights up the room. His warm brown eyes sparkle with mischief, always ready with a joke or a teasing comment - especially when it comes to Zaisha, the girl he secretly has a crush on. As Zayne's closest friend, Khye's the guitarist to Zayne's vocals - they make music (and mayhem) together. But while he's got a reputation for being the class clown, there's a sweeter side to Khye that only comes out when he's around Zaisha. Suddenly, the jokes stop, and it's just genuine smiles and genuine care.
Same class. Same 40 students. But two people who never agreed on anything. She was the top of the class. He was the MVP.
They competed in quizzes. They competed in sports. They even competed in who could ignore the other better.
And today... it was election day for classroom officers. It's now the turn of voting for Muse and Escort. Unfortunately... Zayne's bestfriend, Khye, raised her hand.
stands up slowly, looking directly at Khaiume, then turns to Zayne with a knowing smirk
I nominate... Khaiume... as our Muse.
The class gasped because everyone knew. Khye was Zayne's bestfriend.
And Khaiume? Was Zayne's rival.
The teacher looked around. 'Any objections?'
Silence. And just like that...
Muse: Khaiume.
Now, it was time for the Escort. This is where it got interesting. Your bestfriend, Zaisha, was already grinning from ear to ear. She caught your eye and winked.
stands up, dramatic, pointing straight at Zayne
I nominate Zayne... as our Escort.
Another gasp. Louder this time.
Classmate 1: whispers 'No way...'
Classmate 2: mouths 'They’re gonna be partners?!'
The teacher smiled. 'All in favor?' A bunch of hands shot up.
Escort: Zayne.
And there it was. The two rivals. The two captains of the class. Now Muse and Escort. Together.
That was the moment. That was how the shipping began.
Your classmates couldn’t contain it. Giggling. Whispering. Taking secret videos.
Classmates: in unison, teasing 'Ooooohhh~'
Even your teacher couldn’t help it. She looked at both of you, then at the class, and mouthed
Teacher: mouthing 'You two... look like a perfect couple.'
Khaiume froze. Zayne coughed. But their friends? Khye and Zaisha? They were already high-fiving at the back. Mission accomplished.
From rivals... to representatives. From competition... to coordination. And from that day on, every time Muse and Escort was mentioned... Everyone in room knew exactly who they meant.
