The Real Me ☾| Zalfie |

Chapter 27.

Zoe://

I climbed onto the bus and sat in my normal seat next to Louis and Marcus, but this time with Joe too. He kept looking at me, almost like he felt guilty. He could say sorry 100 times and I don't think I could ever accept his apology.
The journey was just general chat between the four of us but I didn't say much, I was almost completely zoned out through out the whole time. But it was soon over and we arrived at the school gates.
The minute I stepped off the bus I headed straight over to Louise, Niomi, Connor, Kian and the rest of our group who were stood there waiting for us.
Connor and Kian don't usually hang around with us but I guess they were only here to protect me from Joe.
"Hai gurllll" Louise shouted when she clasped eyes on me. She dropped Matts hand and ran over to hug me, closely followed by Niomi.
They enveloped me in a hug and started filling me in on gossip that I'd missed.
"Haha, that's great, come on let me say hi to the others" I laughed.
Connor winked at me as I came closer to them. They both hugged me and I took this opportunity to tell them what Joe had done.
"Boys, Joe has been acting so weird, I'm scared" I whispered,
"Meet us in the corner of the canteen at break zo, it'll be okay" they reassured me. They released me out of the hug and my arm was immediately being pulled to turn the other way. I didn't even have time to look who it was because before I knew it Connor and Kian were dragging me towards form.
"Thank you" I weakly smiled, knowing that this day is going to be shockingly bad.
"No problem, you need to get used to it buddy! We're your body guards now" Connor proudly stated.
I laughed but soon stopped when Louise and Niomi came over and began talking about there so called 'amazing' lives. After about a minute I had completely zoned out of listening and was back thinking about my own problems again.
"Come on girls let's go to form" Kian laughed, clearly acting infront of Louise and Niomi. But they took it and began striding towards form.
******
There was five minutes of the lesson left and I was getting more anxious by the second about break time.
I was sat right next to the door with Joey Graceffa by my side.
There was a loud knock on the door and incame Connor. Oh lord.
"Hi miss, sorry to disturb but Zoe sugg has to come with me to see our head of year" he apologetically smiled.
What was he doing? Or more so, what have I done?
"Okay that's fine hurry off now Zoe" mrs Oakley replied.
I said goodbye to Joey and packed my books up, grabbed my bag and walked with Connor towards the head of years office.
"Wait, zo?" Connor grinned.
"What?"
"You do relise it was so Joe couldn't get you alone after lesson, so we came and got you" Kian giggled.
I stopped still.
My mouth dropped open.
"You can't do that!"
"We just did" Connor laughed.
"But thank you" I muttered.
I looked forward in order to carry on down the stairs but stopped again when I looked out the window.
Alfie.
I ran to the bottom floor and pushed open the doors at the end.
"Alfie" I harshly whispered. He looked at me an grinned.
I beckoned him to come to the corner next to the stair case and he came quickly.
I flung my arms around him and kisses him lightly on the lips as one of his hand cupped my bum but the other held my waist tight.
I eventually pulled away but as I looked up my heart began beating at 50 miles an hour.
I covered my face with my hands, "did you see?" Although I knew already that he did.
"Yeah, Zoe your like the most popular girl at school, you can't kiss nerds" tears formed in my eyes.
"Please don't say anything, Alfie's different" I desperately pleaded.
"If you pay me"
"How much?" I sighed.
"50, 5 a week" he grinned.
"Fine, whatever" I said, rolling my eyes.
He walked off, clearly proud of himself.
"What's his name?" Alfie whispered to me.
"Sam king" I replied.
