"Hey I don't know what your problem is man, Miss Sanchez has a nice ass, if I wasn't with Harry I would be slamming that thang." Louis half joked, when pulling up to the drama department.
"This is bullshit!" Zayn exclaimed as he looked up at the building.
"I just can't wait to see your face in some stage make-up, not that your pretty face needs any anyway." Louis winked as Zayn got out of the car.
"Just be back in an hour, yeah." Zayn more rather commanded than asked.
"Maybe I should get Harry to sign up for acting classes, he's really good at roleplay, especially 'doctors and nurses.'"
Zayn chuckled and headed inside the building as Louis drove off.

"This year's spring musical is about burning passion and blazing Tommy guns." The drama teacher (Miss Sanchez) announced to the students. "Written by our very own Marcel Styleson." Everyone looked towards the boy at the back who had on a pair of big glasses and a dorky smile on his face.
"With words and music written by Selena Gomez." The students turned their heads towards the shy brunette girl and she smiled.
"The script tells a story of Tommy 'The Gun' Thornton in the prohibition-era in New Yor-" Miss Sanches' speech is cut off. "Mr. Malik, better late than never."
All eyes turned to see the raven haired, tanned skin, brown eyed boy who is now standing by the door.
Zayn-without saying a word-took the first seat from the left.
"Well then let's see, Selena will be playing the role of The Angel. And Perrie will be playing Caroline."
"Congratulations." Selena whispers to Perrie who is sittings next to her.
"And..." Miss Sanches looks around the room. "Zayn will be playing Tommy Thornton."
Zayn's attention is then set on focus by the mention of his name.
"No. No. You see, I didn't plan on acting or anything... That's not my thing, no." Zayn gulped. "Absolutely not!"
*5 minutes later*
"When did you know Tommy?" Perrie said aloud after reading the script in her hand.
"Know what?" There was no tone of interest in Zayn's voice what-so-ever as he read out his part.
"That we were in love." The enthusiasm radiating off of Perrie was enough to make up for Zayn's lack of it.
"Love? Baby... Believe me...you, you don't want to...fall in love...with a, a guy like me." Zayn stuttered trying to read the script properly, not taking any interest in the words that he is saying.
"It's too late Tommy, I'm crazy about you. I'm breathing it, drinking it all in. Aren't you?"
"Yeah. I...I don't know what I'm drinking doll face, but if this is love... Pour me another glass?" Zayn couldn't help but snigger at the last bit.
"Mr. Malik, are you trying to be bad at this?" Miss Sanchez asks on a serious tone.
"Well, no, it just comes naturally." Zayn responds and there's a few laughs coming from the other students.
"All right everybody, let's go to the end." Miss Sanchez fails to hide the smile on her face.
Zayn glances over at Selena who is also smiling but shaking her head slowly in disapproval at the same time.

At the end of class Zayn found himself waiting at the entrance of the building for Louis.
'Should've known I couldn't trust that dickhead.' Zayn thought to himself as he glanced at his watch for the millionth time, Louis is twenty minutes late.
Nearly all the people that were there at the drama rehearsal were gone by now.
"Don't even pretend you won't be great."
Zayn heard a nerdy male's voice speak, he turned around to see Marcel and Selena talking while exiting the building.
It looks like Selena was blushing at Marcel's words.
"Alright I'll see you tomorrow." Selena spoke.
"Yeah see you." Marcel waved as he walked away.
Selena looked at Zayn who now turned his face away after a brief moment of eye contact.
Zayn glanced to his right and all of a sudden Selena was standing there, right next to him.
"So would it kill you to try?" Selena questioned.
"Yeah, and I'm too young to die." Zayn spoke, without looking at her.
"Okay, so, you don't like classes, but you like school because your popular and you'll never be on top again."
"That's thoroughly predictable." Zayn said, turning his head to the side but not completely looking at Selena.
He tried not to look hurt at her statement, because deep down he knew she was right. But heck! Like he would ever admit that.
"Your act only works in an audience." And with that Selena turned to walk away and towards her car.
Zayn sighed in irritation and mentally kicked himself for having to do this but he had no choice, he walked over to Selena's car.
"Feeling Christian?" Zayn asked half smiling.
Selena rolled her eyes but nodded, Zayn hopped into the passenger seat.
"Seat belt?" Selena questioned but sounded more like a command.
Zayn sighed as he buckled his seat belt. Selena drove off and out of the driveway and into the main road. She sighed in relaxation as the summer breeze hit her face through the open window. She then decided to turn the radio on.
Zayn lifted his eyebrow as some slow pop music started to play. He changed the radio station to one that is much more to his taste. The car was filled with some screaming rock music with barely understandable words.
Selena rolled her eyes and changed the radio station back to the previous song.
Zayn then changed the radio station again.
"I forfeit." Selena surrendered with a defeated sigh.
"Thank you."
"Forty-two."
Zayn looked at her questionably. "Forty-two? What do you mean forty-two?"
"Forty-two is befriend somebody I don't like." Selena explained. "It's a to-do list I have for my life."
"What, like getting a new personality?" He asked.
"Mmm, like make a medical discovery, meet a president."
"That's ambitious." He scoffed.
"..Be in two places at once." Selena ignored Zayn's obnoxious comment. "And even get a tattoo."
Zayn looked at Selena curiously, "what's number one?"
"I'd tell you," Selena took her eyes off the road for a brief moment to look at Zayn. "But then I'd have to kill you."
Zayn let out a little laugh as Selena's eyes focused on the road again.
As they were driving past a familiar Car-Part garage Zayn sank in low in his seat as he spotted the familiar platinum blonde hair and pale white face, it was Tristan, he was laughing with Melanie at something.
Zayn placed his head on his lap hoping that no one sees him. Selena notices his intention for his action but chuckles to herself.
Zayn doesn't want to be caught riding with Selena of all people.
But Selena doesn't take this into offence, she just laughs at how pathetic popularity must feel.

Happy Valentines day. xx

Fanfiction"Don't fall in love with me." She warned. He looked at her in confusion, but laughed when detecting the humour in her voice. Admittedly, she was kind of funny. "Don't worry." He gave her his word. "I won't." ***** Irresponsible, reckless, careless...
