Love is Bitter the Second Time Around [Ziall Trilogy]

Chapter Five: Second Base and a Home Run?

          "Zayn, are you going to that winter concert on Friday two weeks from now?" Niall asked me. There was a winter concert? "What is that?" I asked him. He chuckled, "Here, take a look at this." he handed me a flyer.

"Get ready for the annual winter concert taking place in the school's auditorium. Come listen to the best students at Anderson Hale Academy perform live. Tickets are sold outside of the lunchroom for only five dollars. Get them now, before they run out.

Winter Concert Date is on December 20th, the last day before winter break starts. If you have any questions, send an email to Mr. Morris or Mr. Daley at ekmorris@aha.edu or zrdaley@aha.edu repectively. Have a nice day!"

          "That sounds... interesting." I said. "Do you wanna go?" Niall asked me, "Uhh... are you going?" I asked him back. He rolled his eyes, "I just want to know if you're going or not. I don't want to force you into anything you don't want to do." he said. I sighed, it sounded like he did want me to go. "I'll go then." I finally said. "Great, I'll get you tickets for it." he smiled.

I asked him another question, "Why did you want me to go?" he turned back quickly towards me, "Because I'm part of it helping to sell tickets and doing the fundraising." he replied. Oh. That was it? "What did you think it was?" he smiled. "Nothing. Just wondering." I said, and held his hand as we walked down the hall. I was a little happy that there wasn't much going on in school right now, so everyday after school I didn't have to worry about homework or anything. It's been about a week since I saw the box of condoms from Justin's car. 

What I'm not too happy about is that Niall is still hanging out with Justin. He hangs out with Justin more than with me for these past couple of days. I asked him what they were doing, but he would change the subject. Watch. "Hey Niall, wanna hang out tonight at my place?" I asked him, but he didn't reply. A second later, he said something, "Oh Zayn. I was going to go to Justin's." See, he doesn't care about me anymore, insert sad face.

          "Niall, you spend more time with Justin than with me." I said. "Hello, I'm your boyfriend?" I said raising my hand which was entangled with his. "I know. We just have a lot of things to get ready for." he said. Things to get ready for? "What things?" I asked. "Oh, you know.. winter concert stuff. He's part of the activity too." Niall said, in a way that sounded like he was hiding something else. "Why didn't you tell me about it, I would've joined to help you, too." I said in a little upset tone. "Aww, Zayniepoo. I assumed that you would be bored of it." he said. He's right. I would've been very bored with it. I was the lazy one, and he was always so hardworking.

"Well. I'll see you later." Niall said, and gave me a quick kiss. "I love you." he smiled, and waved to me. "I love you, too" I said, and continued walking. What's wrong with this picture. I miss those times when everyday after school Niall would only come to my house. Now, it's like no big deal to him, but it's a very big deal to me. By the time I got home, I turned on my PC, and logged into StalkBlock.
