The next morning I stood by Austin Moore, one of Stella's close friends, in the little cafeteria. I wasn't hungry but Stella told me that if I didn't go Miranda would literally stuff food into my mouth and force me to swallow.
I grabbed an apple, Turkey sub, and water. Austin showed me the red metal, circular table that they sit at. I put my plate down and sat in between Jack and Austin. Nobody was at the table except for Neal, Ben, Jace, Austin, Jack, and I.
"Hey guys," I heard a female voice behind me. I turned to see Lydia, Makayla, Serenity, and Stella walking over to the table. Stella sat by Austin then it was Lydia, Serenity, and Makayla.
Stella pulled her straightened hair into a ponytail and pushed her plate further away from her. She smiled at Austin, "Did you hear about the fight in the cabins?"
"The one with that Fay chick?" Austin asked.
"Yeah, I didn't know she had that much in her!" Ben said flipping his curly hair. Wow, he kinda reminded me of Harry.
"What fight?" I asked.
"It was this fight with Fay Herbert and Gina Georgia. It happened before you even got here." Lydia said then turned her attention to Stella, "Did they go to jail?"
"Fay did. But Gina had to go to the hospital." Neal said stuffing a pizza slice into his mouth.
"It was that bad?" I asked.
"Yep," Serenity smiled at me.

Today it was Friday so that meant, 'Group Therapy Friday' Austin, Jace, and me walked to the therapy room. When we got there, almost everybody was sitting in chairs that were made into a circle -Actually more of an oval.
I sat down by Austin while we all waited. A few minutes passed and then a woman with wavy blonde hair, brown eyes, and light skin walked into the room. She was one of the therapist, I think her name was Dr. Drow, or something.
"Hello everyone," She walked over to a moron coloured chair and sat down. She pulled out a notepad and a pen, "My name is Dr. Drough.."
"Hi Dr. Drough," Everyone chanted.
She smiled, obviously fake, "Alright, why don't we take turns telling people about yourself? Say your name, where you're from, and how long you have been in here." She pointed her boney, witch-like finger at a twenty-something year old, "Why don't you go first,"
He stood up, "My name is Benjamin Murtha, I am from New York, and I have been here for 48 weeks," He sat down and a chubby cheeked boy stood up and explained who he is, where he's from, and how long he's been here.
A few minutes passed and then it was my turn. I stood up and spoke, "I'm Zayn Malik. I am from Bradford, and I have been here for three days." I sat down and they carried on with the pattern.
When the session was over we were ordered to get our pajamas on and meet in the screen room.
I opened my room door, after unlocking it with the passcode, and walked over to my bed.
"Oh," Stella walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her small frame and her wet hair was up in a bun, "I thought your session ended at 4." She held onto the towel so it wouldn't fall.
"It is 4," I pointed to the wall clock.
"Oh," She said after a few seconds of studying the old, black wall clock, "Well, if you don't mind can you maybe..." She looked at the door.
"Of course," I walked over to the door and opened it. Austin stood in the door way with his fist in the air like he was about to knock.
"Zayn? What are you doing in Stella's room?" He looked over at Stella. She was looking at her toes. "Are you two... wait, were you two..?" His eyes went wide and he looked angry, and a little sad.
"No!" Me and Stella yelled.
He seemed relieved, "Oh, okay,"
Stella cleared her throat and we both looked at her, "Can you guys got talk somewhere else?"
I smiled and nodded.
Me and Austin sat on the hall floor.
"So," I finally said breaking the awkward silence.
"So," He repeated.
"Do you like Stella?" I asked looking at the ground.
"Stella? What?! No? Why would I..?.... Is it that obvious?"
I chuckled at him, "Yeah. When you asked if we were together.. and if we.. did things... your face fell."
His face turned rose red and he looked at the floor.
"I think she likes you two," I continued, "There's that spring dance that's happening tomorrow. You should ask her to go with you."
He looked up at me a smile hinting at his face, "She? Likes me? But, how? Why would she like a lo-"
"You're not a loser."
He sighed, "But what if I ask her and she says no? And when am I suppose to asked her?"
I put a hand on his shoulder, "Tonight! Ask her tonight! And about her saying no.. She won't. She would be an idiot to not go out with a great guy like you!"
The door opened and Stella walked out leaving the door wide open, "It's all yours!" She walked down the hall.
"Go get her!" I pushed Austin.
He smiled at me and ran after her, "Stella! Stella wait up!"
