Niall's POV (Next day at school)

Before lunch I recive a text,

Unknown: This is Zayn, we have to work on our project. I'll pick you up after class so we can head over to my house. xx

How did Zayn get my number? I decide to not to put much thought into it and go to lunch.
Right before lunch I make up my mind to spend my lunch in the cafeteria. Just so I can see Harry, it's much better than sitting on the cold, dirty bathroom floor.
I prance excitedly into the cafeteria, then my attention glances towards Dan's table. Liam, Zayn, Louis, and Dan all were sitting together laughing and talking... Where's Harry?

"Ugh..." I brush it off and sit down. My eyes stare at the floor, studying my shoes. I begin to think about everything, about Harry.
Someone gently taps me on my shoulder making me jump. I turn around to see Liam standing there with a shy smile on his face and a sad look in his puppy dog eyes. I flinch not knowing what he'll do.

"Hey... can we talk?" Liam slightly whispers.

"S-sure," Why did I just say sure, I don't know what the hêll he'll do.

But I go forward with my response and follow him out off the cafeteria, down a hall, to a place I've never been before in our school.
We hit a dead end. Shìt.
"What do you want with me?" I whimper.
His eyes soften.

"I just wanted to say sorry, for everything. I-I was jealous of Harry, jealous that he was with you."

And rises up in me," WELL YOU KNOW YOU WOULD'VE HAD A CHANCE WITH ME. IF YOU WEREN'T SO MEAN TO ME, EVEN AT NANDOS YOU YELLED AT ME AND NOW YOU'RE SORRY!!!"
I quickly cover my mouth after my outburst. Woah I didn't know I could do that.

"I know... I'm really sorry," he looks at his toes the back at me and continues, "I just really like you but, I'm straight. I'm not supossed to like you. I'm not supposed to admire everything about you, not supposed to want you, even maybe need you. I can't be gay, but it feels so... right."

Liam cups my cheeks with his warm hands and leans down slightly, he kisses me lightly.

"LIAM!" Liam and I quickly pull away.
Zayn was standing there. "Zayn, What are you doing here?!" Liam growls.

It appeared as if Zayn had been crying... but, he doesn't cry, he's the bad boy of the school.

Liam wears a terrified expression on his face. Zayn and Liam share glances. Almost as if they were communicating in some weird facial language.
Liam's expression softens. He turns to me and whispers," Bye Niall." I watch him turn around and walk away sadly.
