^Picture of what Mr. Bentley looks like in the story. Yes, it's my baby Paul Walker. :'( <3 R.I.P. lovely. x
Song: I Won't Mind- Zayn Malik :)^
Zayn's P.O.V.- My best friend loves me and I wasn't even aware the whole time. I felt horrible for not knowing what to say and just getting out the words to make him feel better. To be honest, I wasn't even aware how I felt about the whole situation. I didn't feel awkward or embarrassed; just confused.
The bell rang and I had art next. I walked to class with my head down. Mr. Bentley greeted me with a bright smile and I smiled slightly in return.
"What's wrong with my favorite student?" He asked, looking concerned.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm fine, don't worry about me." I responded, heading to my seat.
He looked at me strangely before beginning class.
"Okay, we are in fact beginning our pottery session today." He said, pulling out an old example of a pottery cup.
Everyone cheered because pottery was one of our favorite things.
I thought about Liam and how he was probably feeling today. I wasn't able to see him all day and it made me sick to my stomach because I was worried about him. I managed to somewhat hear what Mr. Bentley was telling us though.
"Everyone is going to make their favorite animal into a mug. Use your imagination wisely and make it very creative. This project can become messy, so be careful."(A/N: We made animal mugs in art this past year and that's why I added this part. xD)
I thought about what animal I liked, but I didn't really have a favorite. Maybe I would make a turtle because Liam liked them. I smiled to myself and focused my attention back to Mr. Bentley who continued to talk.
"There are a few kilns in the back which I'll call you all over to after you've made your mugs. For now, sketch your clay projects onto the sheets of paper placed onto your group's table."
I grabbed a piece of white paper and began to sketch the mug. I focused really hard on how I was going to make it and Mr. Bentley walked over next to me.
He whispered, "I understand that you're very talented at art, but you've been slacking lately Zayn." He crossed his arms. "I need you to do better than this, okay?"
I nodded and smiled at him. He returned the smile in return and patted me on the back.
I continued working and finally finished sketching when the final bell rang for the school day.
"Goodbye everyone! We will start making the mugs tomorrow!" Mr. Bentley told us as we walked out of the class.
I hurried to Liam's locker and saw Louis talking to him. Liam looked uncomfortable and looked every where but Louis' eyes. I ran over to Liam and stood next to him; giving Louis the death eye.
"Hey, calm down there fiesty. I wasn't meaning any harm to gay boy here." Louis snickered.
I clinched my fist but stopped myself when I felt my nails dig into my palms.
Liam looked over at me with worry in his eyes and I smiled at him.
"Look here Tomlinson, leave him alone. We all know your little bond with Harry." I protested, smirking.
"W-What? I-I M-My, what are you taking about?" Louis stuttered, becoming sweaty.
"Oh come on Tommo, I go to the night club too you know." I crossed my arms, laughing.
Everyone circled around us, watching.
"W-What? I- You kissed Liam!" Louis responded, trying to defend himself.
"Wow, you must have been really drunk! But, I'm sure that you wouldn't mind me telling everyone about your little make-out session with Harry though." I chuckled.
Everyone laughed, holding their stomachs and pointing at Louis. He ran off and out to his car while I guided Liam out of the side doors to his car.
"Thanks," He spoke. "For uh, for helping me."
"Don't mention it, bud." I smiled, patting him on the back and walking to his car.
"You know..." He said. "We need to get you your drivers license soon, so you can drive on your own."
I chuckled, "Yeah, we sure do."
We reached his car by the time that those words left my mouth and we both hopped in; me in the passenger's seat.
He shut the door and started the car, "I hope that you don't mind what happened yesterday." He frowned.
I shook my head and smiled at him, "Liam, I don't care. It's who you are."
He sighed, "But what about the fact that I l-love you?"
He looked down at his hands and a tear fell from his face.
I bit my lip before looking over at him and frowning. I wiped his eyes and stroked his cheek for a few seconds before smiling at him. He smiled weakly back at me.
"Come here." I said, holding my arms out for a hug.
He accepted the hug and nuzzled his face into the crook of my neck. I chuckled and rubbed up and down his back. He pulled away after a few minutes and started the car before we drove to his house.
