Niall's P.O.V

I slide down in my chair next to Liam, Zayn strides into the classroom, late. He smirks at me and walks to the seat next to Louis and Harry. My face is hot and I know I'm blushing, so I pull the hood of my jumper up to cover it.

I technically just agreed to go out with Zayn, to be his boyfriend. He is now my boyfriend. Mine, I can't believe it. I never thought I would date him, well, I kind of did assume it would happen eventually. I just didn't expect it to happen so soon, or that I would so willingly accept.

Wait, I didn't willingly accept, what am I talking about?

He kissed me and used my time of bliss - I mean confusion as an excuse. I was caught off gaurd, yeah. Off guard. My mind was racing and my heart was thumping to loud, I would have agreed to jump off a cliff at that moment and not notice.

But, what did I get myself into?

That gets me thinking, about our little 'group' for some reason. He's a King, he can get what ever he wants. Wait... I'm the Queen. Why am I a Queen? I don't have lady parts, I should be a King too. I have a Peni-

"Niall?"

I jump, causing the desk to bounce on my legs, rattling loudly. People start to turn and look at me curiously. I turn back to look at Zayn who has a smug expression, and then over to Louis who was the one who called out to me.

"Huh?" I blink, "I mean, meant..uh, what?"

"You okay?" He chuckles "You spaced out there for a few minutes."

"Oh yeah, I'm perfectly fine. Not arguing with myself inside my head or thinking wierd things and wanting to hit someone for confusing me and tricking me into something I had no idea I agreed to." I ramble, "I mean, I don't mind, I like it. But- wait, what am I talking about? I'll shut up."

Zayn breaks out laughing, followed by Louis and Harry. My blush comes back at least ten times redder and I pout, slumping in my chair.

"Sorry, sorry." Harry bites his lip to stop laughing. "You were a rambling, nervous wreck. It was cute."

"No!" I whine.

"Yeah!" Louis agrees.

"Guys, stop flirting with my boyfriend." Zayn says loudly, causing all eyes in the room to turn to us. I feel Liam's stare burn into the side of my head.

"Boyfriend!?" Louis squeals, clapping like a hyperactive five year old. "When? Why? Where? How?"

If possible, I sink even lower in my chair. I bring my feet up on my chair and put my chin on my knees, glaring at Zayn.

"About, ten minutes ago. I like him, alot. In the hallway. I kissed him and asked him out when he was in a state of confusion and he unknowingly agreed. So, now he is stuck." Zayn answered almost proudly.

"You tricked me into being your boyfriend!" I whined, shooting my leg out to kick his desk.

"Don't worry, My Queen. I'll make it worth it." Zayn winks, which makes Louis clap again, giggling.

"You guys are so cute." Harry chuckles before turning to Louis. "Have we ever been that cute?"

"Yeah," Louis sighs happily, "When we were virgins."

I cough, and somehow end up choking a little. I kind of figured they were sexually involved, seeing as how they are so....close and always flirting. But, that doesn't mean I need to hear about it, or have my suspicions confirmed. I twirl around in my chair, not wanting to hear anymore of that conversation and meet Liam's eyes.

They look shocked, confused and sad all in one. I don't get why, though. He told Zayn to go up for it, that and he obviously has no feelings for me. Maybe he is worried that I jumped into it to quickly, but then again, it wasn't really my choice. I guess I'm just going with the flow, I mean, I didn't stop Zayn from letting everyone know or deny it. I mean, this is my chance to be free of my feelings for him. If anything, he should be feeling relieved.

My mind flashes back to last night and I suddenly start shaking a little, I'm scared of him. I'm scared of Liam. I squash it down, not wanting it to be shown. I don't want to be afraid of him, I mean he hurt me, confused me, rejected me - but he is still my best mate. Nothing will change that....I hope.

Liam's P.O.V

They are dating now. Niall didn't even deny it, he didn't say no or even try to stop Zayn from talking about it. I mean, this is what I wanted, right? Then, why does it hurt? I shake the feelings off and turn back to the Kings, who are joking around and laughing.

"Oh yeah, Niall, Liam." Louis looks over at us, Niall turns around and pulls his hood down, his blush gone. He leans over to be able to get in the conversation. "Tonight we are having a....sleep over, at Zayn's flat. It's Royal meeting thing, so you guys are automatically invited. Well, Niall is - but I'm sure he wont go without you, Liam."

"Nope." Niall pops the 'p'. "Liam has to go too, even if hes a joker, it's part of this court stuff."

He doesn't hate me, even after last night? I don't get it, I nearly raped him - yet he still thinks of me as his bestfriend. That makes that aching pain come back, I feel....guilty. I Shake it off and nod.

"Okay, you guys can come home with us after school. Liam, I think we still have some of your clothes there from a while back." Harry shrugs, "Niall you can borrow Zayns clothes."

They kept my clothes there?

"Cools." Niall agrees, packing his things up as the bell rings. Zayn shoots up and grabs Niall's books and I step back confused.

"I'll carry these and walk you to class."

"Aw!" Louis and Harry coo, "Cute!"

"Shut up!" Niall groans, his face blushing again as he pulls Zayn out of the class by his hand.

Zayn turns to me and smirks, throwing me a wink as they leave. I shake my head and grab my things, walking to class.

It's going to be a long day.
