The Female Lead Is A Lesbian - Volume 1 Chapter 18 Ready For Anything

Zoey had started reading a book about earth science, more specifically about gemstones. Since she got stronger by using gemstones and defeating enemies like some f.u.c.k.i.n.g video game character. She then researched the gemstones she would be able to find on her own and found that her luck would be better if she searched for emeralds, opal, jade, sapphire, topaz and various types of quartz. Zoey sighed as she closed the book and sat it down on the table. She would need to travel a fair distance to get access to a mine or anywhere she could dig up gems on her own. She then narrowed down what she had to do down a two choices;1- take a bus ride to somewhere she could find a place she could mine for her own materials and get stronger; or 2- spend hundreds maybe tens of thousands of dollars to buy gemstones and start defeating enemies so she could defeat ‘The Swordsmen’ and gain the bounty.

Zoey really wanted to do the first choice as she really didn’t want to spend money and if she found her own materials, she could sell them off for a hefty price. The second choice didn’t seem that alluring as the first, as she was trying to keep herself unnoticed and spending thousands ,that people didn’t think she had, at a jewelry store wouldn’t exactly keep her identity hidden and also a female college student beating strong people was not exactly something that was to be ignored. Zoey bit her nail and furrowed her brow as she racked her mind on what she should do. She glanced over to a nearby clock on the wall and gasped, “*gasp* Shit, I’m gonna be late for the show.” She quickly grabbed her bag off the floor and while leaving her books on the table rushed out the library. She speeded all the way to her classroom and arrived with only two minutes to spare.

Zoey was completely out of breath when she entered the classroom, she was trying to breath but, also trying to suppress the vomit trying to escape her mouth. “Damn, this girl didn’t exercise AT ALL did she?” she cursed in her mind. Zoey looked around only to see two other students sitting in their seats. One was a plump boy with acne, freckles, brown rimmed glasses, and short black hair and the other was Noah. “Where the hell is everybody,” she muttered. She saw Noah wave his arm and gesture to the seat next to him, she quickly sat down next to him and put on a weary smile.

Before she could even react, Noah took out a cold-water bottle and pressed it against Zoey’s forehead. She flinched at the coldness on her hand but, then she chuckled out a breathless, “*hahaha cough cough* Thanks.” She quickly opened the bottle and sucked the water down so quickly the bottle shrunk and flattened. Zoey let go of the bottle with a *PAH* and threw it into a trashcan that sat against the wall. She then turned to Noah who was staring at her intensely with confusion. He quickly asked, “Why’re you so out of breath class hasn’t even started yet and you’re acting like you had only thirty seconds to get here.”

“I was in the library and when I looked at the time had passed quickly and it was almost time for class…or so I thought,” Zoey replied scratching her head. Noah’s eyes widened and he covered his mouth to stifle his giggling. Zoey arched her brow and pinched his cheek, “Huh, now just what are you giggling, ay?” She asked in an annoyed tone and let go Noah’s now red cheek. Noah rubbed his cheek but, still giggling he replied, “*pfft heeheeheheh*The clocks in the library are all set wrong, I think they’re all ahead by about twenty minutes.” Zoey’s eye twitched and she asked Noah in a pissed and annoyed tone, “Are you telling me I just ran to class in three minutes thinking it started in five minutes but, instead it started in thirteen minutes and I could’ve WALKED LISUERELY HERE.”

He gave a simple nod in response as his cheeks were puffed up from containing his laughter.

Zoey stared at him with a frown but, her lips started quiver and her eyebrows relaxed, she then started giggling as well. Her eyes watered a bit and in between her laughs she said “*heheheheh* I *pftt* wish you would’ve told me that.” While in her mind she sighed, “Man, I should’ve asked Sky the time.”

Noah giggled back, “*heehee* HEY, I TRIED to bring you to the library but, you said you didn’t want to be BORED to death and you would never go in there even if your life depended on it. So, since I didn’t think you’d be in there, I am NOT to blame here.”

Zoey pinched his cheek again, this time much lighter and smiled, “Ok, ok it’s my fault I’m not blaming you…much. By the way why’re you here so early?”

“Well, unlike you some of us want to be over achievers and get to class early. That is also a reason why there is nothing wrong you can point out about me.” He replied in a jokingly haughty tone.

Zoey then looked at him up and down then thought of a great retort, as well and asked sassily, “Hey don’t get tired of dressing like that ALL THE TIME? Don’t you have any fashion sense at all?” Noah had his hair hanging in front of his glasses and had on a long sleeved white shirt under a short sleeved black shirt that said ‘Don’t **** With Me Mother*****’ on the front in big white letters and ‘OR ELSE!’ on the back also in big white letters. Noah replied back just as sassy as Zoey did, “You do know that all that talk saying that all gay people have incredible fashion sense isn’t true right AND I was talking about nothing wrong in my academics, attendance, or almost anything school related.” Zoey petted Noah’s head and snickered a reply, “Yeah, I know you’re a little smartass and dress like a sack of potatoes but, you’re my little smartass sack of potatoes.” Noah rubbed his hand across his hand trying to smooth his hair back the way he had it. He then continued to say, “Also, you’re the same person who looks like they’re going to go mug and s.e.x.u.a.lly assault young women in an alley.”

*Mmmm* Zoey playfully stuck out her tongue at Noah and the two chattered and giggled amongst each other. Soon other people started appearing into the classroom and began to take their seats. People gave Zoey and Noah dirty looks but, the two continued to happily chat amongst themselves. The two continued to giggle when a hand slammed down onto their desk. The two looked up to be faced with a dark brown-haired man, wearing a white T-shirt, baggy jeans, expensive all red shoes, a black wrist band on one wrist, and black sunglasses perched on the top of his head. His name was Simon Qiao, he was the son of wealthy family, Rose’s boyfriend, one of the top students, and Zoey’s ex-boyfriend.

Simon was manipulated by Rose to lead Zoey on, as Zoey back then really loved Simon, in her heart and soul. Rose knew this and made Simon ask Zoey out while knowing she had been married for a couple of months. Simon went out with her for a couple months as well but, only because Rose wanted to Zoey to hurt more when she revealed she was the one Simon loved. Not only that Rose took almost a two hundred pictures of the two on dates and sent them to Alex. Then Rose told Zoey the truth breaking her heart and when she arrived back at Alex’s mansion. Alex confronted Zoey about the photos as she stood at the top of the staircase and in his rage, he shoved Zoey down the stairs. But now Zoey had a brand-new soul, so she no longer loved Simon, nor did she hate him, she now felt absolutely nothing for him.

Zoey looked up at him and stared blankly, she arched an eyebrow to ask, ‘what do you want’. Simon coldly said, “You and your friend are disrupting the classroom with your chatter, please be considerate of your fellow classmates and be quiet please.”

“Damn, how petty can you be,?” Zoey cursed in her mind. Almost everyone in the classroom were chatting amongst themselves, at least she and Noah were whispering. The others were literally talking in full volume and screeching with laughter, Zoey and Noah could barely hear themselves so it was unlikely anybody could hear them at all. Now everybody was staring at them and snickering behind their hands and talking shit. Zoey kept a plain face and simply nodded. She then turned to Noah and started using sign language, ‘Ok, Noah let us talk like this, so we don’t bother anybody ok?’

Noah signed back, ‘Oh, of course we wouldn’t want our conversation to interrupt the other conversations everybody who are so invested in their talking.’ Zoey looked back to Simon and signed, ‘Better?’. Simon’s lip twitched in annoyance and as he was about to open his mouth the teacher walked in and he had no choice to sit down in a seat. Ms. Mya Hong went to her desk and unpacked her doc.u.ments and laptop; she sat down at her seat and immediately opened her laptop. Without looking away from the screen she said, “You may continue to speak until class starts in..”, she glanced at her watch, “four minutes.” The class started immediately talking when she finished and then Cecilia and Mona walked in.

Cecilia looked around and when she spotted Noah she smirked and walked over to him. She made a slight hand signal to Mona behind her back. Mona nodded and followed slowly behind Cecilia. Cecilia went behind his chair, put her hand on Noah’s shoulder, leaned forward and turned her head so her mouth was uncomfortably close to Noah’s ear and face. Noah cringed away slightly as she started talking in a sugary sweet voice, “Hey, Noah how you doin’?” While she was talking to Noah Cecilia put her foot on his bag and slid it towards Mona. Mona was quick to put the stolen assignments, paint, and glue in his bag but, what she didn’t know was that Zoey was watching her once again which was easy since neither Mona nor Cecilia were paying a single glance towards her.

Noah looked at Cecilia in disgust and replied, “That is NONE of your business.” By this time Mona had already slid the bag back to Cecilia, who caught it under her foot again and put it back next to Noah’s chair. Cecilia then replied, “Hmm, you’re right”, and backed away from Noah. She nodded and Mona nodded to each other and smirked as they sauntered to their seats. Noah looked at Zoey with his face saying, ‘What in hell was that’. Zoey only shrugged and shook her head in response though she knew exactly what they were trying to do. Zoey knew she had to act quick and concentrated hard on Noah’s bag.

Zoey the carefully opened Noah’s bag and the papers along with the paint and glue gently floated out into her hands. Zoey then put the items into her storage and sat in her seat calmly with her hands in her pockets, her breathing steady, her face was expressionless and yet serious. She now felt like she was ready for anything.
