Alone

Three

As time progressed I came to find that he was a big love. He came to love everyone he came in contact with. Girls especially. Now I am not saying that he is a flirt or anything, but he did get around a lot.

Naturally, he seemed to blend in with any crowd of people, which is why he fit in so well with the theater kids. His friends became my friends, we were all close.

One day he met this girl named Caitlyn. She was your typical blonde haired blue eyed beauty, and her personality lived up to that title. She got around twice as much as Zayn did, but yet he was crazy for her. I knew this because I saw both sides of this relationship.

"So yesterday walking home I saw Zayn and he walked me the rest of the way home!" She would squeal about him as we walked to biology.

Or his side of things, "I walked Caitlyn all the way home yesterday."

"Don't you live on the opposite side of town?" I would ask.

"Yeah, but it's worth it. She's worth it."

I was actually just talking to him during theater class when it all started. This, this, this mess that we made.

He walked in and we were sitting together as the teacher called attendance as usual.

"Hey, I am going to go hang out with Caitlyn and a few other friends at lunch today if you want to come along," he offered.

"Sure. Not like I have anything better to do. Where we going?"

"We were going to meet at the regular lunch table then head to the spot, which is between the gyms."

I thought about this a moment. "That sounds like it could take a turn for the worst," I commented.

He smiled, a warm and charming smile. "I think that's the point." It was quiet a minute, before he added "I think we'll play spin the bottle."

Now never having kissed anyone, I was unaware that this was a kissing game. My interpretation of this game was simple. You spun the bottle, whoever it pointed to, you asked them either truth or dare. After they did their dare or answered their truth, they spun. So on and so forth.

I was very unaware of what was about to happen, what was about to change in my very simple relationship with some friends. But if I had known what was going to happen, I probably would have backed out. Which I would most definitely regret later.

Oh how I was in for a surprise.
