Nobody Compares {A Zayn Malik Lucy Hale FF}

Chapter-15

Savanna's POV

"Lou, for the last time...You're getting the cake! NO ARGUMENTS!" Liam thundered as Louis thought of 1001 reasons to skip getting a cake for Zayn's birthday

The blue eyed boy gave up and slumped his shoulders and agreed to Liam and mumbled, "Fine.."

"I'll join you, babe..." Eleanor comforted him, grazing his shoulders with her long fingers softly.

And with the decision of the cake, everything was settled for his birthday. All we needed was a venue to host the surprise...and I needed to buy him a gift.

Harry broke me out of my reverie as he spoke, "Sav, can you get the keys to the dance studio? How about we have the surprise there?" He looked at everyone inviting their opinions.

"You're using your brain, Styles...Something new, eh?" Dani asked her eyebrows raised teasingly

Harry cheekily poked her tongue out at her and we all broke into laughter at the craziness

"I'll get the keys from the janitor" I said and I turned to Danielle to speak to her. "If Zayn asks where I am, tell him I left early sick"

Dani put her concerned face on and leaned forward to check my temperature, "Are you okay, Sav?"

"I'm fine. I need to go gift shopping for Zayn so I'm leaving early to go to the mall" I let her know about my plans and she visibly relaxed.

Such a mummy...

A run over through our plan again and the electric bell rang, signalling the end of our discussions. The rest of the gang walked towards their classes, not before hugging me, and I walked towards the janitor's office

I knocked on the door briefly and heard a faint "Come in" from the other side of the wooden door

Mr. Greenslade was quite the intimidating man. My subconscious wipes a drop of sweat from her forehead as I step into the den

"Hi Mr. Greenslade, I was wondering if you'd let me borrow the dance studio keys?" I asked nervously, my voice dropping quite a few octaves from my normal tone

He narrowed his eyes at me, as if X-raying my thoughts. I gulped inaudibly

"Sure, when do you want em?" He asked me in his casual American accent and I relaxed a bit, seeing that he was willing to give me the keys

"Tomorrow..." I informed him

He nodded and dismissed me off with a flick of his hand and resumed his daily paper.

I closed the door gently behind me and did a mental happy dance ranging from tango to hula dance.

I made my way towards the main hallway of the school and checked both sides for any sign of teachers or attenders. The coast was clear, so I sneaked to the front door and made my way across the gate. The gateman was taking his peaceful slumber in his cabin and the gate was locked. Just my luck!

"Oh snap!" I cursed and stood there for a moment, debating whether to wake him up and ask him politely for the keys or to snatch them and find my way out...

I had an internal battle between the angel and devil inside me and the ping of my phone paused the fight.
