What About Now || h.s. *COMPLETED*

Chapter 35 - Kid on a Sugar High

[RECAP:

"So where's Nialler?"

I looked over in the kitchen and was surprised to not to see him in there.

"I'm not sure," Zayn said.

Then I heard Katie scream.

Without even thinking, I jumped to my feet and ran outside.

At first I didn't see Louis or Katie...that was until I saw Louis run across the lawn with Katie closely behind him.

And behind Katie was Niall.

It was raining pretty hard and it looked like it was going to turn into a thunderstorm.

I went and sat on the porch swing as I watched two of my best mates chase my girlfriend.

The rain was drowning out their laughter.

I wanted to join them, but it wouldn't be fair to gang up on Katie, so I just sat and watched them.

I saw Katie jump on Niall's back and cover his eyes.

She was whispering something in his ear...boy did I want to know what she was saying.]

*********************

Katie's POV:

I hopped off Niall's back and looked over at Harry sitting on the porch swing. Then I looked at the sky, it was getting darker and darker by the second.

"I think we should go inside, Katie. We don't want to get sick," Louis said.

He was in front of Niall and I; we had stopped chasing each other.

"You're such a chicken. A little rain wouldn't hurt."

Right then we heard thunder and a white flash across the sky.

"Ok, let's go inside now."

I ran inside the house.

"Well, that was fun," I said as I plopped myself between Liam and Zayn on the couch.

I shook the rain water off of me and it landed on both Liam and Zayn.

"So...I hear I'm going to be chased out of the house next...." Liam said, his voice trailing off.

"Oh yeah. You'd be right. But you're lucky there's a thunderstorm going on, otherwise you'd be running like crazy."

Harry, Niall and Louis entered the house then. I saw Harry pull Niall into kitchen while Louis had came and laid on top of Zayn, Liam and my lap.

"Really Lou? Your clothes are wet. Get off me," Zayn said as he pushed Louis' legs off his lap.

Louis fell onto the floor and I couldn't help but laugh.

"So Zayn, have you talked to Lily lately?" I asked.

Lily and Zayn weren't dating, but they did talk to each other a lot.

"No and I kind of don't want to," he said.

"Why is that? Did she do something wrong?"

I'm not even sure why I asked that. Lily wasn't that great with guys. She kind of gets a little too clingy too fast. I mean, I feel bad that guys reject her, but it's kind of her own fault.

"Well, all she talks about is how jealous of you she is and has gotten very annoying."

That's right, I'm dating someone famous and she isn't.

"Well, what about Joee?" I asked.

Lily, Joee and I became great friends after the talent show.

"Yeah, I've talked to her recently."

"And..."

"And what?"

"Is there anything there?"

"I'm not sure. I mean, she is a pretty girl, but I have my heart set on someone else."

"Awh, does my little Zayn have a crush on someone?"

I lightly pushed his shoulder and he chuckled.

"I guess you could say that, Katie."

"Who is she? Do I know her? Is she pretty? Does she go to our school? Tell me Zayn!"

I was hopping up and down on the couch like a little hyper kid on a sugar high waiting for Zayn's answer.

"Yeah, I guess you could say you know her."

"Well, does she like you back?"

"I'm not sure, maybe."

That's when I realized, Zayn was talking about me.
