Deception

Seven

Arabella David

It is the last class of the day. The day went by so quickly. It was just me thinking about what I am gonna wear for today's non-date date. It's the history class of Miss Sara. She's an energetic lady when she's in the mood. But when she's not in the mood, she sits in her chair chewing her gum to make a jawline and talks on the phone with her fiancé. And today she's not in the mood.

The class is a mess. Some are talking while others are skipping the class and roaming in the hallways. This class includes Zayn and Harry.

Zayn is sitting beside me when Harry enters the class. He looks around the class and shakes his head. He's about to bunk the class when his eyes meets mine. He smirks and makes his way toward me.

"I would recommend you get out of this seat before Harry makes it here" Zayn whispers to me. My stubborn side kicks in and I keep sitting there.

"Hello, Claire's sister" Harry says fake smiling.

"Hello...Zayn's bandmate?" I say with my hand on my chin, pretending to think.

"Get out of my seat" he straightens his face.

"Oh I can't see see your name written on it" I say frowning pretending as if I am finding his name written somewhere on the seat.

"Don't make me force you" he hisses.

"Or what" I ask in confidence.

"I am gonna go fill my water bottle. When I come back I want to see you gone" I look at his bottle and it's all filled. Suddenly I feel him dump all his water on me. I gasp and close my eyes. I hear some people laughing at me in the class. Others being worried and gossiping to each other.

Zayn stands up taking my hand in his hand and stands up. He gives Harry a death stare and Harry just laughs at me and says "or this."

"Harry Styles you are getting detention!" The teacher finally wakes up from her world and shouts.

Zayn leads me through the group of people and takes me to the restroom. "Stay here I'll get you a spare shirt I have" I just stand there in shook. Zayn comes back after a while with a hoodie. He turns his face towards the wall as I take off my top and put on his hoodie.

"Thank you" it came as a whisper out of my mouth. He had no expression on his face. Good thing, sympathy is the last thing I need right now.

I am in the hallway as Evan come towards me and hugs me "I heard what happened"

"It's already out in the school?" I ask in panic.

"Don't you worry. I called him to the amusement pa-wait" he steps back from me. "Who's hoodie are you wearing?" He shouts and I flinch in reflex. Everyone eyes are at us. He grabs me by my wrists and takes me to his car.

We sit in his car as I explain "Zayn gave me this hoodie because my clothes were soaked" his eyes soften at the sight of me.

"I am sorry. It's just that I am insecure because..."

"Because?" I grab his hand in a comforting way.

"I am gonna tell you my past with Harry because I want you to know about us. I don't want you to believe his side of the story if he tells you by any chance. When we were 15...four years back. We met through some work. We clicked instantly and became the best mates. It was his birthday night. We all were partying. And by all it included Harry's first and last love. His girlfriend. I was into his girlfriend but I ignored my feelings for the sake of our friendship. That night, she drugged me. Took me to Harry's room and started making out with me. I tried to resist but I couldn't. When Harry couldn't find his girlfriend, he came looking for her. So he came to his room and saw that sight of me and his girlfriend making out. She put on this act and started crying about how I was raping her when I was all drugged and she was on me." He pauses and takes a deep breath.

"Harry believed her and not me. He choose his ex girlfriend over me which hurt alot y'know. After a few months his girl cheated on him and he found out the truth. He came back to apologise to me but I was too changed. Forgiveness doesn't exist in my world. After that I actually slept with someone he had interest in, out of range. Since then, we've become enemies." Evan finishes.

I try to find any emotion on his face after this overwhelming story but no, his face is blank. The last part hit me. "You shouldn't have slept with his new girl" I confess.

"It wasn't exactly his girl and he made me do it!" He snaps at me.

"But he apologized!" I snap back.

"Why are taking his side? Why don't you sleep with him to get back on me?" He throw his hands on the steering wheel in frustration.

"I am sorry" I apologise.

"You can get out of the car...I'll pick you up at 5" he says, looking on the road in front of him. I get out of the car and call an uber for myself.
