Zayn's POV:

I chose this song on purpose. All of its lyrics literally describe me and Serena. Oh how I wish she knows how much I think about her. How much I wish she would be mine and only mine. I wish she could know me and consider me something important in her life, instead of being the newcomer she never even heard of. 

After the song had finished, I smiled to the audience and waved to my friends. I wanted to thank Serena for giving me the courage to sing in front of such a huge amount of people. My friends have always told me that I had a great voice, but i didnt even care. Likewise, Serena had a beautiful voice that I can just sit there and listen to her all day. I could also sense that it was her first time to sing in front of an audience because she seemed stiff and shy at first, but then she rhythmed with the song. I wanted to thank her for making me do this, but she wasnt by my side anymore.

I looked through the crowds searching for her until I found her with her bestfriend Alyssa. I swear these two are unseparable. Their friendship is something rare, you couldnt just see 2 like Serena and Alyssa together everywhere. They were something special.

I approached Serena and tapped on her shoulder just as Aly, or so Serena calls her, left for a drink. She was surprised to see me because her eyes widened for a millisecond.  

"Um hey." I said. 

"Hey." She smiled.

"Uh, i just wanted to thank you for the performance up there, i really wouldnt have collected enough courage to do it alone." I said nervously.

"No need to be so nervous by the way, and I should be the one thanking you. I have never sang in front of anybody before so we are on the same page." She winked. 

SERENA BLOOM WINKED AT ME. Focus Zayn.

"So lets have a fresh start. Im Zayn." I extended my hand.

"Im Serena." She shook it back. 

And the fireworks begin.

Just as I was about to ask her another question. Harry popped out of nowhere waving for me to talk to him.

"Uh sorry I gotta go talk to Harry." I said quickly. 

"Um yeah sure." She said.

"What do you want?" I whisper-yelled to Harry.

"Whats up man I just wanted you to join that group dance they are preparing for." Harry defended. 

"Dont you see who am I talking with?" I told him.

"Ohhhhh, Zaynie finally decided to talk to his little sweetheart." Harry smirked.

"We're nothing until now, I guess. She doesnt know except my name and you had to ruin the freaking moment." 

"Oops, sorry. Just dont forget the dance huh?" Harry said again.

"What is so important with that damn dance man?" I told him.

"I don't know I just wanna dance with you." Harry replied.

"Stupid much." I muttered.

"Heard that" Harry said before walking away. 

I went back to where Serena was sitting, but this time Alyssa was with her. I wanted to apologize for what Harry did. I bet she already hates me although we have only talked once.

"Um Serena?" I asked. 

"Um hey you're back. Was that your friend?" She asked, smiling.

"Yeah, Harry can be a little crazy at times. I just wanna apologize for leaving you in a hurry." 

"Its ok." She replied.

"Hi Im Alyssa." She said overexcitedly and waved at me.

"Hello Alyssa I'm Zayn." I smiled and waved back. 

"I was gonna go join the group dance. Care to join?" I asked them nervously. I could feel the blush forming. 

"Thats really sweet of you, but thanks Im not really into dancing.Im gonna sit here with Aly and have a drink or two and I could join in a while." Serena said.

I must admit I was hurt, but I couldnt blame her. She just knew me today, she wouldnt directly accept to dance with me, right? 

"Aw then maybe next time. See you around." I said trying not to show her I desperately wanted her to come. 

"Bye, Zayn." She waved. 

"Bye, Serena." I said and walked away with the biggest smile on my face. 

I felt like I have known her forever. That how she is with everyone, picking up conversations like you are the bestest of friends, and that's one thing I admire about her. I am so going to talk to her again. Maybe not today, but I will. 

"Why is little Zayner so happy about?" Louis teased.

"He was talking to his girlfriend." Harry said back, sipping on some punch.

"She is SO not my girlfriend dude."  I defended. 

Serena? MY girlfriend? This is sooo not going to happen. Who can ever imagine that SERENA BLOOM, the popular, loved-by-everyone girl, dates ZAYN MALIK, the nobody.

"Who are you kidding? Didnt you see the way you looked at her?" Liam said. 

"The way  looked at her. Not the way she looked at me." I replied looking to the floor. 

"Dont you worry your pretty little mind Zayn. The bad boy never loses." Niall said. Oh I didnt even realize he was there. 

"Hey Niall, didnt see you there, and did you just quote Taylor Swift?" I told him.

"Its because Im Irish isnt it." he said, faking being hurt. 

"Anyway, you were right. Bad boy never loses." I said determined. 

"Thats my boy." Louis said ruffling with my hair like i was a dog. 

That was right. If I really want Serena to be mine, I must try. And if trying is the key, then I will try and try and try until my last breath. I wont give up on trying until I can call Serena Kimberly Bloom, mine.

Serena's POV:

I really dont know how havent I seen that boy around before. He was beautiful. His face was perfectly shaped. His cheekbones, jawbones, eyes, eyelashes, hair, everything. Too bad he seemed like the bad boy type, although he was shy at times. I really didnt like the idea of bad boys. They usually turn out players and break the poor girls' hearts for nothing or for messing around, so I find it is unfair. I live with the motto: Bad boy isn't my type. 

"So who is Mr. Handsome then?" Aly said while I was unconcsciously staring at him.

"The Zayn guy I sang with up there. He was thanking me for the duet we did together." I said breaking the gaze.

"He seems like he is soooo into you by the way." Alyssa winked.

"Zayn into me? No way, he seems like bad boy player type." I denied. 

"Yeah yeah sure. You didnt see how he was looking at you. He is in love Seri, trust me." She said, seriously. I dont remeber when was the last time I saw Aly this serious in talking. It seems like she was really sure he liked me. Im gonna see anyways, Im sure Im gonna meet him again.

"I dunno about that Aly, but I have my ways. Im gonna take care of that anyways." I smiled assuringly.

After lots of talking with Aly, dancing, drinking, and announcing the homecoming king and queen, the party finally finished and we got to go home. I said my goodbyes to Aly as she headed to her house, but I didnt feel like going home just yet, although I was sure it is past midnight. I headed to my favorite place in the world, Starbucks, to get some coffee, and headed to the nearby park.
