Mirabel and Zayn rushed to the crowded halls to get to the gym. People were staring at their enterwined hands as they pushed passed them Mirabel heard some whispers like, 'Are they dating or something?' She ignored it as she was determined to not be late. Zayn's hands were getting sweaty as he was trying to stay calm. "Don't float, please don't float." Zayn begged under his breath as he was basically getting dragged by one of his best friends. 

'Gym' The sign read right outside the door. "Alright were here." Mirabel sighed. They pulled their hands apart as they walked into a cooler room. 'Atleast the air conditioners are on.' Zayn thought. The coach looked up from her notepad as she examined the students. "Ah Mirabel, and you must be the new student Zayn!" The coach exclaimed. "Welcome to my class I am honored to be your coach this semester!" Coach greeted. Zayn scanned the room and people were heading to the locker room. The gym was huge and the bleachers were on the farside of the room while there were basketball hoops hanging from the ceiling. "You have a locker in the locker room you can go change your clothes. Mirabel show him the boys locker room. Thank you." The coach ordered.

"Here we are!" Mirabel announced while heading to the room next to them. Zayn was a bit anxious about going into the locker room and changing. Zayn nodded and headed inside. The boys in there were just taking off their shirts and joking around. Zayn caught this one boys glance. He had black hair and tan skin he was a few inches taller. Zayn ignored it and walked towards his locker. He pulled out the plastic wrapped uniform and put his phone inside of his locker. Zayn started glancing around the room to see if anyone was paying attention to him but he caught the same boys glance again. He wouldn't stop staring and it made Zayn uncomfortable. 'Strange boy...' He thought. Zayn was getting annoyed so he said fuck it and just pulled off his shirt.

Once Zayn was finished getting dressed he turned to look in the mirror and admired the uniform. It had the same color pallet as the regular uniform but it was just a boy tank top and shorts that reached his knees. He really hoped no one noticed his scars.

He walked out of the locker room and back into the gym. Almost everyone was back. Once he entered the room the teacher started speaking, "Okay guys for this activity you need to be in a group of three, I already have assigned groups once I call your name go into a spot in the gym and wait for your group." The coach explained as she looked down at her notepad to get ready to call names. "Group one! Julia, Ashley, and Evan." The coach called as the group went to one spot in the room. "Group 2! Aiden, Jessica, and Yohan. Group 3! Mirabel, Zayn, and Aaron..." 

He and Mirabel headed to the center of the gym as this boy came walking up to them. It was the strange boy from earlier. They all looked up as the coach was done calling groups and started explaining the instructions. "Okay so we will be rotating stations as we go. The first station is pushups, try to get the most pushups in 1 minute and this is 25% of your grade. The second station is situps and its the same concept as the pushups. The third station is pull ups on the bar and its still the same concept. Remember your scores! You may start.".

The group went to the first station. "So who will go first? I have a timer." Mirabel asked. "Ill go first." Aaron Volunteered "Alright start in 3. 2. 1." Mirabel counted. Aaron started doing pushups at a good pace as Mirabel counted how many he was doing. He got a solid 30 and Mirabel wrote it down in her notebook. "Alright Zayn your turn start in 3. 2. 1"  Zayn started his pushups at a steady pase but got distracted at 10 as he felt someone staring holes into his skin. He couldnt focus so he finished at 25. 

After Mirabel got a solid 16 they headed to the second station, sit ups. "Alright, Zayn wanna go first? Aaron can hold your feet while I count." Mirabel asked. Zayn nodded even though he wasnt to excited about Aaron holding down his feet but he just shrugged it off. "Okay get ready... Start!" Zayn was calm at first until Aaron slowly started sliding his hand up his leg on the other side where nobody would see. Zayn stiffened under his touch every inch he would go felt like his skin was burning off. Aaron stopped at his thigh and started carressing it. Zayn got a low score on sit ups because of this. 

Zayn and Mirabel started leaving the gym to their next periods. "I get a bad vibe from the Aaron guy.." Zayn sighed. "Ive never really pay attention to him but I caught him staring." Mirabel added. Zayn nodded. "Whats your next period?" Mirabel changed the subject. "Oh um, I have english." Zayn said. "Oh you have a class with Lance and Mateo! Ill take you to them." Mirabel offered. "Thank you, a lot Belle." Zayn suddenly said. Mirabel's eyes widened at the nickname she hasnt heard in so long. Mateo and Lance were standing right infront of them. "Zayn ready to g-" Mateo was cut off by Mirabel bursting into tears and hugging Zayn's waist. The three were confused until Mirabel started talking. "I MISSED YOU SO MUCH WORDS CANT EVEN EXPLAIN HOW HAPPY I AM RIGHT NOW.." Mirabel choked on her sobs as her hands clenched Zayn's back, his uniform fabric tangling against her fingers afraid if she let go he will desolve in thin air. "Just please.... dont leave us again.." Her voice grew into a whisper while she breathed heavily. 

Zayn was silent for a few seconds dumbfounded by her words. He looked down at her as he wrapped his arms around her returning the hug. "Im so sorry." Zayn whispered as he began stroking her curls it always calms her down. "I promise I wont ever leave. Ever again." He said louder. He then eventually pulled away and nudged her from the side. "Cheer up were gonna be late." He said while ruffling her curls. She chuckled while she was wiping her eyes and sniffing, "AW THAT WAS SO CUTE SWEETTUMS I WANT A HUG TOO !!" Mateo exclaimed while fawning over Zayn. "I cant believe you still call me that." Zayn glared while pinching the bridge of his nose. (I can see Mateo acting like Tamaki Suoh from Host club lol) 

Lance, Mateo, and Zayn walked to class together. "So Zayn theres been rumors.." Lance started. "My friend Aaron was telling everyone that when you guys were in the locker room he saw scars on your body, is that true?" Zayn stiffened at the mention of his scars. "Uhm n-no?" Zayn tried to play it off. "Body launguage." Mateo sang while dancing around the two. "Why would I lie about that? Listen that Aaron guy has been weird towards me all day im not surprised if he is already starting to spread rumors about me." Zayn said in a 'matter of fact' tone. "What ever you say sweaty hands." Mateo added. (Mateo has always been a very observant person, like Camilo so he knows everyones weaknesses or when someones lying.) "Your hands sweat when you're nervous." Mateo stated. Zayn sighed.
