Dysthymia ; h.s

six

We went to a coffee shop nearby. It was just few blocks away from our school. It was aesthetically pleasing and it was one of the several inns in Portland that has bonny designs that I clearly adore. It has a denim theme and it was so cute.

"Here's your coffees ma'am, sir," the waitress puts down our coffees as she gives flirting looks to Zayn. "Enjoy!" she said winking at Zayn. He shrugged. Zayn loves to make girls hope up except me. I think he would like to be my good friend? Or my bestfriend? The world may never know.

"What are we going to do now?" I ask Zayn.

"Now what?" Zayn answers taking a sip from his coffee.

"Now that they think that we're on a relationship?" I said.

"Only Mr. Colton knows." he answers.

"No," I said calmly. "Mr. Colton is a gossiper and I am sure that it'll spread quickly I swear." I huffed.

"Maybe we could pretend that we have something in between us?" he said.

"What!?" I widened my eyes. "No it can't be! We have to think of another way!" I said trying to keep my voice down.

"Well it's the only way," he smirked and I growled.

"Fine but," I say.

"But what?" he asks.

"But Cassidy will screw me if she ever finds out," I said scrunching my nose.

"You'll be fine," he said and I nodded. "I'll take care of it." he added.

"Okay." I say taking a sip from my coffee.

"But why'd you switched schools, really?" I ask.

"I was a school bully and," he took a sip from his coffee. "I got expelled."

"What kind of bullying have you done for you to get expelled?" I said.

"I tied my classmate with a school hose inside the bathroom." he sighs.

"You what?!?!" I said then laughed out loud earning a shush from everyone inside the café. I looked down in embarrassment.

"Cute," Zayn muttered. I pretended that I didn't heard anything so that I won't look up to him blushing like a tomato.

"By the way what school are you in before you got expelled?" I asked.

"I was a former Portland University student," he says.

"Woah," I said taking a sip from my coffee. "That was my dream school," I said.

"Then why'd you studied in Hover University instead?" he asks.

"Because I wanted to stay close to Kylie," I said shaking my head. "She's my best friend." I giggled.

He smiled and looked down. His smile was bright but his eyes were sad. He gave me a sympathetic look, while I am just looking down as usual.

"You know I'm here if you ever need someone to talk to," he said.

"Thank you," I smiled.

"We have to get going though," he spoke up.

"Yes we do have!" I giggled. We made our way out of the café.

"One last thing," he says. "Can I have your number?" he adds handling me his phone.

"Oh sure," I typed my number then we both separated ways and went home. Zayn was such a nice guy. I am thankful to meet him.

-

"I'm home," I shouted.

"Hey sweetie your cousins are here!" Caitlyn says in excitement. I furrowed my brows. I hate it. I don't want one of them being in here, Kim.

"Where's Camaria?" I ask trying to fix my face.

"They're all inside the dining area," she says.

"Oh I'm still full I just wanted to rest," I said.

"Care to say hi?" she said crossing her arms.

I went to the dining room and saw everyone inside it, including Kim.

"Hi," I said.

"Hello Kendall how are you?" Felix asks. Felix is Around 23 and has blue eyes and a brunette like me.

"I'm fine," I answered.

"Would you like to join us?" Carl said. Carl on the other hand, he is 19, he has a pair of emerald green eyes. How I wish my eyes weren't boring as hell.

"No thanks," I said and took a glance at Kim who is looking at me.

"Excuse me," I said then made my way into my room.

I slammed the door and lied onto my bed. This can't be happening. My head aches due to millions of thoughts racing in my head. I looked underneath my bed and saw Hessy sleeping. I carried him and put him on my lap, petting him.

"Kendall!!" Caitlyn says as she opens the door. Alas, I just noticed that I left the door unlocked. She stopped by as she saw Hessy.

"Kendall how many times do I have to tell you that you're not allowed to have pets at home?!?!?" Caitlyn huffs.

"But mo-" I was cut off by Caitlyn. "No buts, get rid of him now!" she said angrily then slammed the door. She really hates pets even if it's a dog or a parrot or a fish.

"Shit!" I cursed under my breathe, holding back my tears. Why does all of this has to happen at once? Life really fucks us all, no excuses and exemptions. How am I going to get rid of Hessy now?

I stood up and got my jacket and Hessy. I brushed off my thoughts and went backyard and to the hole that I made last Saturday. The humid air was prickles into my skin, not minding it until I made it into the forest. Eerie noises came by, and it was scary. It was kind of foggy inside the Forest, but I can still see the ground vividly.

I stopped by a tall and huge tree. I sit at the bottom of the tree, looking at Hessy.

"I think you'll be on your natural habitat," I said. "Enjoy!" I smiled and let go of Hessy. He headed north as a figure of a human is coming. I squinted my eyes because it's a bit of blurry. He's a male.

"Swag?" The man said a he carried Hessy. He walked towards my direction and I stood up. In front of me was a tall and curly smirking boy with a dimple curving on his cheeks. His eyes were emerald as Carl's, but I see more sparks in this boy's eyes.

"So you've got Swag?" He has a husky voice and a British Accent. I just nodded.

"I'm glad to see Hessy with his owner." I said then smiled.

"Hessy?" he then giggled.

"Because I saw his pendant and it has the initials of "H.E.S." on it so I named it after that," I answered.

"Witty," he said petting Hessy.

"You must be "H.E.S."?" I asked.

"Harry," he then nodded. "Harry Edward Styles." he added.
