Catch Me When I Fall [BxB]

Evil Plotting

"Why, because he's easy to manipulate? Because he's somewhat gullible and can easily be tricked by you?"

Zevon is the one who rolls his eyes now.

"How exactly do you plan on pulling this off? Tyrone knows you like Khai now." I remind him.

"Yeah, so now I pretend I'm gonna find someone else to like. Tyrone realizes I'm no longer a threat, as in I'm no longer trying to take Khai from him, so he lets his guard down somewhat. I keep my distance from them, and while they think I'm finding my own friends now, I'm actually secretly ganging up with Khai's bullies. They'll be the most willing to help, because in reality, I'm tricking them, too. I'm making them think we have the same interest; to bring Khai down. But really, I'm using them to get what I want, which is to keep him for myself."

I shake my head, sad that Zevon can be like this sometimes.

"Then, tomorrow night, I give them some dirt on Khai... well, technically his mom. They post it on social media, odds are that it might go viral. Don't worry, I'm not relying on that alone. The bullies are also going to tell the whole school. Khai will likely notice something's going on throughout the day and be a little confused or something. Then, I talk to Mr. Burns - he's the PE teacher by the way – and I make up some excuse for Tyrone and I to leave just before the end of class. I've noticed they're very excellent at communicating with each other, so in order for my plan to work, they need to stay separated."

I cover my hands with my face, wishing he'd stop.

But he continues, because he can't feel emotions the way I can and doesn't realize I'm completely deterred by his ideas. Even if he did know, he'd ignore it because I know Zevon doesn't actually care about anyone but himself.

"And I need to leave so that when Khai starts getting bullied, he won't wonder why I'm not standing up for him. Now, Tyrone will want to tell Khai he's going somewhere, and the only way around that is if I tell Tyrone  that Khai already knows we'll be leaving, because I told him. But I won't actually tell Khai or Khai will start trying to find him."

Zevon pauses, trying to organize his plan a bit better.

"I also need to get Mr. Burns to give his keys to the bullies so they can lock Khai in the storage room. That way, he'll be contained somewhere Tyrone can't get to him. This is where Khai will probably figure it out and realize Tyrone told his secret. So while Khai is trapped, he starts thinking about horrible it was of Tyrone to betray him, and that's where I find him by tracking down the scent of his blood... or at least, that's what I'll tell him if he wonders how I knew where he was-"

"Hold up, you're going to hurt him? Like make him bleed?" I question, both shocked and appalled.

"Well... it won't technically be me..." Zevon chuckles. "Anyways, so like I said, when I find him and swoop in to support him, he gains a positive sentient towards me and realizes I'm the support he needs, and he falls in love with me instead."

"Zevon... that's just cruel." I comment. "And how did you come up with all that in such a short amount of time? Literally in the walk from Khai's house to here, at the lair. Like really?"

"Hey, I actually walked, I didn't speed-run. I had time to think."

I'm so scared of him sometimes, or more scared how of he can come up with a few days worth of plotting in like half an hour.

"That doesn't change how crazy it is." I let him know.

"Well it needs to be. I had to think fast. My plan starts tomorrow already and will have to be done the day after. I need to act soon or it'll be too late. Now is also the perfect time, seeing Khai is somewhat weaker after passing out at school. How perfect is that? It's like fate!" Zevon exclaims.
