-Ariana-
*The next day*
Zayn: I’m close to your house.
Ariana: Okay.
He was really coming to pick me up for school today, I knew he wasn’t joking, but I was pretty sure that he’d forget.
I got ready at my usual time and got Simba’s food ready for the time I would be gone.
I could care less how I looked today so I got dressed and kept my glasses on.
Danielle: We’re going out for lunch after school! Coming? X
Danielle texted me.
Ariana: Sure babe!
As soon as I sent the message I heard Zayn’s car engine from my driveway. I looked from the window and smiled a little as the rain beaded off of his jacket.
I slid on my jacket and unlocked the door for him.
He didn’t even have to knock, he just opened the door and stood by it. “Ready?” He asked and took off his hood.
I nodded and walked out the door with him.
I had a feeling that we weren’t going to be like most couples. Not romantic at all, or affectionate in public. More kept to ourselves.
I slid into the front seat and put on my seatbelt as he pulled out of the driveway.
“Does Cher know you came over here?” I asked him, looking out the window.
“No, she wasn’t home when I left; she went over to Harry’s.” He stated.
I simply nodded my head and smiled.
“The others are going out to lunch after school, did you want to go?” He asked, I guess Liam or Danielle told him about it also.
“Sure.” I smiled as we pulled up to the school.
He parked closest to the doorway and parked the car. As we got out, his hand locked around my waist protectively, pulling me towards him.
He waved to some of his friends and stopped in front of my locker as I pulled out and put in some of my things.
“Any other plans for today?” He asked with a playful smirk.
I shrugged, “Not really, unless you had something in mind.” I smiled and closed my locker.
He stepped closer to me, filling up the space in-between us and leaned further into me, looking directly at my lips.
I gently pushed him away from me, “We both have a reputation to keep up here.” I smirked.
He frowned for a second, then smiled, wrapping his arm back around my waist protectively.
As we walked to first period we got a few stares from the others in the hallway, but I tried not to pay any mind to them; I mean this was new to me too!
“Ariana,” I heard someone call my name as I sat down in the desk.
My entire body froze.
I didn’t even have to take my eyes off of Zayn to know that it was Austin.
“What do you want?” Zayn spat at him.
“I need to talk to Ariana,” He said and gave me a sympathetic look.
“No.” I said sternly.
“What? Ariana come on! Let’s be serious here, I’m trying to talk to you like an adult here!” He yelled, causing me to jump.
