Hey yall, this picture and song is going to be Zayn's mood for this chapter. Hope you enjoy it.. probably won't but oh well...
A week later, Monday
It's been a week and a few days since the homecoming game. I've found myself hanging out with Rhea, Harry and his friends more often than Louis and Liam. I don't know what I did but things haven't been the same since after volleyball season.
Flashback to last Tuesday
Louis walks quickly through the halls as though we were in a hurry. "Louis why are you walking so fast? Class doesn't start for another 8 minutes and I can't keep up with your pace," I complain, trying to catch up to him. He doesn't answer but doesn't slow up either, making me frown. All of a sudden he stops in front of a class where one of his classmates is and breaks out into a smile.
"Where've you been lad!" Louis exclaims and gives him a bro hug. As I stand awkwardly next to them I notice John, the student who transferred a few weeks ago, also standing there looking lost. He gives me a friendly smile and says, "Hi , I'm John." He extends his hand which I gladly shake, with a smile on my face. As I open my mouth to introduce myself, I'm interrupted by Louis who pulls me away from them. Apparently done with his conversation, he grabs me and struts away leaving me to give John a lousy wave before readjusting my feet so I don't fall.

Flashback to Thursday after school
"Harry I don't know what I did to them," I pouted nuzzling my face into his chest. "Here I'll tell you what, let's go over to that group where they are and you will say hi to them like normal. Then I'll tell you if there's actually an issue," he bargains. "Okay that's fair," I nod my head and we make our way over to them.
"I'll say hi first," Harry whispers in my ear before smiling at Louis and Liam. "Wassup guys," he says and gives them a hand shake. "Hey Harry, what's up?" they both say with a smile. Harry then starts saying hi to other people and motions for me to say hi to Louis and Liam.
"Hey guys!" I smile brightly and pull them in for a hug. They tense under my embrace and mutter, "Hi."
Hi. Not hey Zayn. hey bestie. Hi love. No, just hi. After I pull away from them, they walk off from the group leaving me more confused. "See! I told you Harry," I sighed. "yeah that was really bad. Are you sure you didn't do anything to them?" He asks and raises his right eyebrow. "For the millionth time. No! I didn't!" I huff and shake his shoulders for emphasis. "Okay Okay. Just give them some space for right now. They'll be back in no time." He responds and kisses my forehead. "I hope you're right," I mumble but nod my head in agreement.
Well he wasn't right. After that day I gave the boys a little space hoping things would go back to normal. Instead of that, they started drifting away quicker. But I wasn't having any of it.
Flashback to Sunday
*group chat with Liam and Louis*
Original Instigators
Zayn: ok. so I have an issue. What's up with you guys lately? You've been pretty much ignoring me
Louis: No we aren't lol
Zayn: Yes you are! You guys always leave me on opened and never talk to me at school. What happened?
Liam: Well you've been acting different Zayn.
Louis: Yeah
Zayn: Me? The one who always texts first, says hi to you in the hallways and tries to hang out. Not to mention that you assholes went to OUR hangout spot without me yesterday!
Liam: Zayn. we aren't going to argue with you. Simple.
Louis: Exactly. Get over yourself
Zayn: wow. Okay
Back to Monday
Lunch
"So, you're going to do it?" Rhea asks me as we eye Liam and Louis from a distance. "Yep. Here we go." I say and step towards them. My heart is beating like crazy but I can't take this anymore.
"Hi guys." I say when I reach them. "What do you want Zayn?" Liam rolls his eyes. "To talk things out," I respond, playing with my fingers. "There's nothing to talk about," Louis scoffs. I feel my check grow red with anger.
"Well you know what? I'm sick of this. If you're going to treat me like shit then I don't want to be your friends anymore," I state confidently. "Ok," Liam says. "Fine by me," Louis shrugs and my heart drops. "Alright then, see you around I guess." I said and walked back to Rhea.
"What happened," Rhea asked when I reached her. "I cut them off and they didn't stop me," I tell her with watery eyes. "A ten year friendship down the drain over some dumb shit," I say in disbelief. "Hey you've got me," Rhea says patting my back. "Why did you take my side?" I ask, curiously. "Zayn, I was your friend first. I just tolerated them because you loved them. I'll always choose you over them," she says, honestly. "Thank you," I say with a smile. "Don't sweat it. So what do you want to do now?" she asks. "I'm gonna go find Harry," I say. "Alright well I see you later," she responds and walks off.
I walk into the A building and down the hall to Ms. Laura's class. That's where all the senior football players hang out. I walk in and see the group of boys sitting on the table, Harry to the far right. "What's up Zayn," they greet. "Hey babe," Harry says. I don't answer but sit in his lap with my head curled on his chest. "What's wrong Zayn?" he asks, concern laced in his voice. "They let me cut them off, they don't love me anymore," I say looking at him with my eyes glazed over.
"We'll be back," he tells his friends and walks me out the room. We go upstairs to an empty area where no one will see us. "What happened?" He asks, rubbing my sides. "I confronted them and they just, they didn't even want to listen to me. Then I said we shouldn't be friends if you're gonna treat me like shit and they just said okay. Harry they were my best friends," I explain and tears start streaming down my face. "I don't know what I did wrong, I just want to apologize and tell them I love them so much."
"No, let them come back to you. I meant what I said earlier about giving them time. They won't be able to stay away from you for long, so stop crying okay?" He says and wipes my tears. "Thank you," I murmur and give him a kiss in gratitude. "Your going to be just fine. Look on the bright side, you can hang out with me more." He says kissing my eyelids and caressing my cheeks softly. I scrunch my face up at the thought of being with his clingy ass all the time and say, "mmm no thanks, that's a hard no for me." "Woww, how disrespectful." He says, faking being appalled. "No c'mon let's go wash your face off," he grabs my hand and we begin to walk through the halls.
Later that night
After a few minutes of hearing my phone go off I grab my phone and scroll through the many notifications from Savannah. One in particular peaks my interest: 'call me asap'.
Z: hello?
Sav: hey Z
Z: wassup?
Sav: I heard you, Liam and Louis aren't friends anymore. I'm sorry bae
Z: damn news travels fast huh? But it's okay, I'll get over it
Sav: I feel bad because what I'm about to tell you is going to make you hurt worse
Z: Sav... what's wrong?
Sav: You know Raquel from Pallas right?
Z: Yeah, she went to Murrow was on the basketball team, dated Gio and then transferred to Pallas, right?
Sav: Yea her.
Z: What about her?
Sav: go look at what I sent you on messages
Sav: Z? it's been like 2 minutes are you alright?
Sav: Zayn?
Z: What the fuck. I just, wow. I can't believe him
Sav: it could just be out of context Zayn
Z: No, fuck that and fuck him. He's getting cut off tomorrow too
Sav: Think before you act Z, things were just going well between you too
