Chapter 8:
Zayn's POV:
I know I shouldn't even be thinking about her but something draws me to her. Maybe it's her lack of attention to me, seen as all the girls throw themselves at me daily. Maybe it's that she's her own person. That she doesn't follow the crowd and isn't afraid to be herself. Maybe I'll never know.
I lay there on my bed staring at the ceiling for what feels like hours and is showing with the soft glow on my alarm clock illuminating the room with a green colour that lightens up my dark room. What I'm I thinking? I shouldn't even be talking to her at all let alone wasting my time thinking about her. I'm not allowed.
Echo POV:
It's been a month since my disastrous first day and I'm starting to like it here. Well at least no ones staring at me when I walk into a room so that's something I guess. Also I caught up to the rest of the class school work wise and on top of my work load which I'm quite happy about.
And I'm happy and relieved that Zayn or Harry for that matter haven't came up to me or caused any drama which is good. I think. But the lonely part of me wished Zayn would at least talk to me. But I know that would be bad and this is for the best. I think.
I have also made a new friend which I'm happy about. Alice. She seems like one of those popular kids but she's not rude, snotty or a bitch which is good. But her so called friends is a completely different story. It doesn't really bother me, I'm not the one that has to listen to who hooked up with who all day long.
Walking into school today I spot Alice straight away in the car park to the very left as she chats away with her "friends". I choose to walk into school and catch up with her late in the day and not bother the group of gossipers.
"Echoooooo!" Alice I presumed yelled across the car park making everyone turn there heads and stare at me. Great! first day all over again.
As Alice stopped in front of me she didn't let me greet her before she hooked her arm with mine and we were half way down the hallway.
"Alice! Alice! Stop I need to grab my books" I spoke while we walked past my locker.
"Ohhh sorry" embarrassed as she looked to the floor.
"Why are we in a hurry anyways?" Whilst dropping my bag into the locker and grabbing my first period books. "Don't you usually stand chatting in the parking lot even after the bell goes?"
"I don't know what your talking about?" She giggles. "I'm always in class on time"
"That's why your always in after school detention" I laugh while shaking my head. "No but seriously what's up?"
"Ok. There's a party on tonight and I want you to come with us" as I was about to reject the offer without even a second thought... "No excuses! I know that's not your thing. Look you don't even need to wear anything fancy" she reasoned. "Please come! I'll love you foreverrrrrrrr" she begged. As I looked off to space she said one more think that makes me turn my head "Zayn will be there." I looked at her with my eyes wide. When I didn't reply she went on. "I know there's been something going on between you's two. Since that blow up with him and Harry on your first day. Please come" she begged once more.
As I contemplated, a long minute has passed before I gave up and sighed. "I'll come. But not for Zayn." I said firmly.
"Yayyyy I'll see you after school" as she kissed me on the cheek and broke out into a run to her first class. What have I just got myself into?
