Zayn felt euphoric as he walked out the school for the 117th time in the school year.

He had been teaching for exactly 117 days, and dating Ella for 472 days, and both made him the happiest man alive.

He had never felt livelier, he had never felt so pleased with himself.

He had always made, what felt like, bad choices, that would 9 times out of 10, end with bad results.

But Ella. She wasn't a bad result. If anything, she was the best thing that had ever happened to him.

And for Ella, Zayn was her aesthetic.

He was everything and more to her. And she knew that there was nothing that would separate, what they had built.

Ella was pulled out of her thoughts, when her sister burst into her bedroom, and bounced on her bed.

"Hey peach" Ella said, pulling her glasses from her nose.

Rebecca simply laid there, smiling, absentmindedly.

"What are you so giddy about?" Ella asked, playfully slapping her sisters tummy.

"What the hell was that for?" Rebecca asked.

"Dude! Shh. Mom would kill you if she knew that I let you say that." Ella said, laughing, as she covered her sisters mouth with her hand.

"Sorry. But seriously, you will never believe what happened today."

"Hm, what happened today?" Ella asked, getting up from her bed, and walking to her makeup table.

"I got asked out. Nothing to important" Rebecca chided, nonchalantly.

Ella turned to her sister as fast as she could. "No fooking way" she said, in her best British accent.

"Yes!" Rebecca screamed, jumping up and down on her bed.

Ella joined her on jumping on the bed, as they both screamed.

"What in the world is going on?" Zayn's familiar voice called.

"Join us?" Ella asked him.

He smiled at her, taking off his shoes, and joined Ella and Rebecca, in their happy dance.

Ella took his hand, as well as Rebecca's, and smiled at them both.

"Why are we happy?" Zayn asked, laughing.

"Because Becca got a boyfriend" Ella sang.

"Can we stop?" Rebecca asked.

"Anytime, now" Ella laughed.

Rebecca stopped immediately, as did Ella and Zayn.

Ella fell onto the bed, with a deep breath. "Well, that was my exercise for the next year."

"Baby, that wasn't exercise." Zayn said, laying beside Ella.

"Maybe not for you, smartie pants." Ella looked at him, and wrinkled her nose.

"Maybe not for you, smartie pants" Zayn mocked her, leaning in to kiss Ella.

"Stop it, Bucky McBoing Boing" Rebecca said, trying to get Zayn to stop kissing Ella.

Zayn looked at Rebecca, then grabbed a pillow, holding it in front of he and Ella as they continued to kiss.

"So she got a boyfriend, huh?" Zayn asked, helping Ella up.

"Yeah. We're going out tonight"

Ella raised an eyebrow at her. "Oh are you?"

"Yeah. Why?"

Ella laughed phonily. "Hope you like the idea of having your sister with you, because you're not going alone, doll face."

"What? Why?"

"Um, maybe it's because you're 14. Or maybe it's because the only thing on adolescent boys minds is sex. And you're surely not going anywhere alone with this guy."

"Ladies, why don't we double date?" Zayn suggested. "Ella, I wanted to take you to dinner and a movie anyway. We can just invite Becca and this dude..."

"Trace" Rebecca pointed out. "His name is Trace."

"Okay, we can just invite Becca and Trace to go with us." Zayn continued.

"Sure. That might be fun." Ella said, agreeing with her boyfriend, and looking towards Ella.

"I'll go call Trace"
