"Hey, Can you meet me in the auditorium in 5 minutes?"

"It's kinda urgent." I received a text from Harry.

Harry and I started spending a lot of time together besides studying together. I have got to know a lot about this man in a brief period. Harry has kinda filled the void Zayn had left. Sometimes, you think, 'Where would I be if this person left?' Well, the answer is you replace them with someone better than them. And Harry is the person who could replace Zayn.

I recently discovered my feelings toward Harry, but I have been kinda stepping back cause I don't want to ruin the friendship. I'm afraid what happened with Zayn will repeat. I know Harry likes me too. I saw my number saved in his phone as 'Lifeline.' I don't know what's stopping him from confessing.

"What could it be about?" I thought as I made my way from the cafeteria to the auditorium. The auditorium was on the opposite side of the cafeteria, so it took me a while to reach there.

On my way, I saw Zayn with Veronica looking all so smiley. But this time, when I saw these two...I didn't feel jealous or anything. I felt relieved that someone could love him the way I would have loved him. It used to hurt, but now it's okay because I have someone who loves me the way Zayn would have loved me.

I enter the auditorium, and loads of flower petals start falling on me as I see Harry sitting on one knee with a rose. I bring my hands to my mouth and start walking toward him. Harry stands up and hands me the rose.

"Mia, when we met, I saw the most beautiful girl I've ever met. As time went by and we started hanging out more...I got to know you so much that I couldn't help but like you more. I realized I wanted you more than I already had. I wanted you to be mine. But then I found out you were still hung over about Zayn, so I waited. But Mia, it's been time. I want you to forget about him and think about yourself. About us! I can't promise I will love you as Zayn would have...because I'm not Zayn, Mia. I will love you as Harry Styles would have. So, Mia, will you be mine?" I chuckled a bit as I hugged Harry.

"Yes," I whispered in his ears.

"I got you something!" Harry said excitedly.

"What is it?" I asked curiously.

"Umm, a gift for you..." He replied and gave me a jar full of chits and a bouquet with a note.

"Open it at home," He said as I smiled. This is the best day ever. I thought.

I entered my biology class, holding Harry's hand. I'm sure everyone is thinking about what's going on between us, and right now, I just wanna scream, "The hottest boy is mine." But I won't cause that's just stupid.

I took a seat, and Harry sat beside me. Zayn came to sit on his 'regular' seat but noticed Harry and went to the other side of the class.

"Hey, Mia?" Harry caught my attention. "How about I take you on a date since we are officially dating now?"

"I would love that!" I said and almost shouted. "I'm sorry," I whispered, and Harry laughed.

The teacher entered the class and started the introduction to the new chapter we were starting.

------

The class ended early since the teacher had to go somewhere. I was hanging out with Harry until the next period.

"Where do you think we should go for the date?" He asked.

"Umm, how about you take me on a bookstore date, and we each buy one book and then exchange the books so that each of us reads the book the other one liked and annotates it for the other?"

"That's romantic. And after that, we can go on a picnic by the beach?" Harry suggested.

"Oh yeah, I'd love that," I said, and Harry smiled.

"I love being with you. You make me so happy. Just seeing you smile makes me realize how lucky I am." Harry said, and I snuggled into him.

"You make me happy too, Harry," I said.

(Zayn's POV)

I see them sitting by a tree. He has his arms around her. She looks happy. I wish I could be the one holding her and making her smile, but I've lost all of that. I can't be the one holding her and making her smile. I stood there when Veronica came behind me and put her arms around me. I quickly shook them off me, and she looked pissed.

"What the hell, Zayn?"

"We need to talk!" I said and took her hand, and led her to the auditorium. I opened the door, and flower petals were all on the ground.

"What the fuck happened in here?" Veronica said with a smirk.

"I can't do this with you. You are ruining me, and it is getting suffocating. I want my best friend back the fuck!" I almost shouted.

"Do you love her?" Veronica asked.

"I do," I said. "But that doesn't matter because she has got a new boy. She won't choose me. He is so much better than I'll ever be."

"Then why are you breaking up with me, Z? I'll give you what Mia can't give you." She said, and I shook at the idea of being with her.

"Not having her around is better than having you as my girlfriend! Don't contact me anymore and don't you dare show up at my house." I said and left the auditorium. I have to go and get my best friend back.
