Zoey and the rest of the HUNTR/X didn’t expect to have another rival group soon after the Saja Boys but here they are. Thankfully you and your group aren’t demons so they don’t have to fight for their fans' souls and the world again, but losing fans is still a big threat to them, so HUNTR/X takes the new group very seriously because the world still does depend on them.
While she does admire your rap songs Zoey does not back down one bit. Both of you are rappers and you are rivals which means that the two of you often write diss tracks about each other, but neither group ever performs them. Zoey and you only rap the diss track songs when in rapping competitions that you two “happen” to be there at the same time.
It doesn’t take long for Zoey and you to just focus on your own rivalry, completely ignoring the other members and dedicating each diss track to just each other rather than the whole groups like before. You two even started to actively seek each other out to enter rapping events to battle against each other. Something even the fans started noticing. And then the shipping started.

She would watch the ship edits and compilations of the two of you for hours on end. Zoey doesn’t know why she keeps doing it but she does, and even Mira and Rumi notice it. They tried to talk to Zoey about it but the girl always gets flustered and denies anything. As time passes Zoey starts to anticipate seeing you and rapping against you, more than she would admit.
Zoey would eventually start trying to talk to you outside of the eye of the public or the rap events, putting aside your rivalry even just for a moment. The more time she spent with you the more she learned about you and seeing you far more than just her rival. Her chest started to get tighter, her cheeks becoming hotter when you get too close to her.
She would start writing love songs without even realizing it while thinking about you. The moment Zoey snaps out of her daze she gets super flustered realizing she was writing a love song and destroys the paper. Eventually the notebook where she used to write diss tracks about you turned into a notebook where she wrote love songs for you.

Zoey knew what she was feeling, she knew that she was deeply in love (or how she would call it, in deep shit) but she tried her best not to act upon those feelings. Zoey doesn’t want to confess to you just to get rejected, and she doesn’t know how her feelings would even change the current rivalry between the groups, so she went to her friends for advice.
Rumi and Mira were honestly not that surprised by Zoey's feelings for you, I mean the signs were obvious. How she would act all slick and smooth around you, the way she would stare at you when she thought nobody was looking and the way she would smile whenever she would write in her “diss track: [Name]” notebook. The two girls were just waiting for her to tell them. They told her that it’s okay that she likes you (even though you are a rival) and to confess if she thinks you feel the same.
Zoey listened to their advice and asked you to meet her at one of your regular spots. Zoey bought a bunch of flowers she knows you would like and nervously waited for you to arrive. When you did come she just blurted out that she is deeply in love with you even though she had a whole speech planned. Zoey was over the moon when you accepted her feelings and said that you liked her too.

Once the two of you got into a relationship the rivalry between your groups (almost) disappeared so neither of you had to worry about anything with your groups. And it is safe to say that the fans ate it up. Both you and Zoey love watching ship edits and reading fanfictions of the two of you while cuddling during a sleepover. It is also safe to say that your relationship made both groups even more popular.
