No More Tears

Chapter 5

Emma's POV

Next morning was really bad. I had a very bad headache. My head was paining like hell. My eyes felt like it was burning. All I wanted to do was to sleep. I woke up with so much effort. I ran to the bathroom and washed my face with cold water. I grabbed my clothes and went for shower. I got ready in 20 minutes. Lisa was up and headed to shower after I was done.
I sat down at my bed and took some pills for headache. I shoved a pill in my mouth and drank water resting my head on pillow, I closed my eyes.

"Hey, good morning Emma." Lisa said forcing me to open my eyes.

"Morning." I said to her weakly.

"Are you fine?" She asked packing her bag.

"Yeah, just a headache." I said.

"Oh, so let's go now otherwise we'll be late."

"Yeah" I said nodding my head.

We walked to our classroom. Lisa's first lecture was Maths. Mine was literature.
We walked to our respective class. My head was paining like hell. I walked to my bench and rested my head on the desk. Oh god how am I going to attend all the lectures with this pathetic headache.

"Hi." Someone interrupted me.
I rose my head up to see that it was Zayn.

"Hi, how are you?"

"Fine. It looks like you are sitting alone."

"Yeah, actually my friend has different lecture."

"Oh, so may I join you?." He said smiling.

"Yes, of course " I said while moving on one side of my bench to give him a seat. He took his seat beside me.

"So, you're from?" He asked me resting his hands on the bench.

"California. And you?"

"I am from London." He said proudly.

"Oh great." I said.

"And what about your family?"

"I live with my mother, and my father stays in France. He's working there, and my brother Alex is studying in
New York and my mum is a working lady so basically I was always left alone at home." I said.

"Oh, but now you're here. So you must be enjoying. Right?" He said raising his eyebrows.

Not at all. I am not enjoying at all!

"No, actually after coming here I feel homesick." I confessed.

"Oh, no problem. After some time you will enjoy." He said giving me assurance. I nodded.
"What about you? Your family?" I asked him curiously.
"I live with my mom, dad and my sisters." He said. He was talking and I glanced around the room. I saw Liam. He was staring at me with his expressionless face, which made me feel uncomfortable.

"Hello?" I was snapped back to Zayn.
"Are you there Emma?" He joked waving his hands in front of my eyes.

"Ya, I was just...let it be. What were you saying?" I asked to him.

"I was saying that would you mind coming with me to the new coffee shop
Opened recently? It is just 2 minutes walk from our college." He said with his pleading eyes.

"Yes but do we have free lectures today?" I asked him.

"Yes, we have. After biology lecture."

"So we can go. And actually I really needed it because my head is paining like hell!!" I said realizing the pain again.
