Our Little Secret - Zayn Malik AU

Why Won't You Ask Me?

~Ariana's POV~

"So, do you want to tell me now what you and Zayn were doing upstairs?" Kendall raised her eyebrow, waiting for an answer. 

"Honestly, I don't really want to talk about it...Did anyone ask you to the dance yet?" I tried to change the subject, but I knew that Kendall still wanting the answer. She sighed and shook her head. I'm surprised Harry hasn't ask me to go with him yet. The dance is in four days; he better ask me soon so I have time to find an outfit. 

We bought our lunches and went to sit with Melissa and a few other friends. Kendall continued to explain how much she wanted this guy in her Geography class to ask her to the dance, but he's not taking the hint. To be honest, I wasn't really listening to what she was saying; I was staring across the room where Harry and Zayn were sitting. Harry was laughing with some other friends, Niall looked uncomfortable and Zayn was staring at his food. I can't help think of what would happen if Niall would've told Harry. Would he have beat up Zayn? Probably. I'm trying not to think about it, but it keeps coming up. I just need to focus on letting Harry know how much I do like him; how much I want him to be mine.

"Do you want to go over there?" Kendall tapped me, taking me away from my thoughts. She nodded towards the table that I was looking at and I shook my head. I don't know if I could handle being with all of them again, right now. It was really uncomfortable this morning while we were all having breakfast; thankfully, Harry was oblivious to everything that was going on.

I took a deep breathe and walked into Math class. I sat in my usual seat, waiting for Harry to arrive. When I saw his curly hair walk through the door, I smiled and waved. He came up to me, kissed my cheek and sat at his place. He bit his lip nervously, I gave him a questioning look as the teacher walked in. (A/N pic to the side) I turned towards Harry again and he mouthed "I need to talk to you after class". I nodded and smiled, knowing what he was going to talk to me about. 

I practically slept through the whole math lesson; only thinking about Harry. Zayn came up a few times, but I pushed those thoughts out of my head. I noticed Harry looking at me sometimes, but I pretended that i didn't notice. I began twirling twirling my hair, counting down the last minute of class.

I began collecting my books, as the bell rang. Harry waited for me and we walked out of class together. I leaned against the wall and gave him all my attention. He shook his hand through his curls and cleared his throat. 

"Ok, well, I never really did this before so, um... alright." He took a box out of his pocket and opened it. Inside was a charm bracelet with charms of all the places I wanted to visit; I told him on our first date. "I had this for a while, but I never knew when to give it to you, so, here." He took my wrist and put it on me. I examined the beautiful bracelet, playing with each charm. I gave him a tight hug and kissed his lips softly. "Thank you so much, this is really beautiful. I can't believe you remember all the places I told you about." He shrugged and smile shyly. I took his hand, walking to my locker. This was a really beautiful gift, but I was really hoping he was going to ask me to the dance. I don't know why I care so much, it's just a school dance, but it just worries me that he didn't ask me yet.

Once we reached the lockers, i turned towards him and blurted out what I was waiting to say. "Why didn't you ask me to the dance yet?" He looked at me confusingly. "Um...well, I thought you didn't want to go and I usually never go to school dances." He looked up at me and scratched his head. "Oh," was all I could get out.

"Well, I mean if you want to go we can. That was a shitty invite, let me restart..." He could a few steps back and got on one knee. "Ariana Montez, would you like to go to the school dance with me?" He shouted and everyone in the hall turned to look at us. I chuckled and nodded. He got up and I kissed him as he smiled into the kiss. I love him.

~Zayn's POV~

It's the end of the day. Kendall is staying after school so i don't have to wait for her, Niall and Harry are going to get a bite to eat, but I'm not very hungry. I don't know what Ariana is doing, but I want to hang out with her. I miss when we used to hang out as friends, even though I want to be more than that. We used to always play games, watch movies, order pizza and just talk; I miss it so much.

As I walked up to my locker, I noticed her talking to Melissa at the water fountain. I closed my locker and walked up to her. She said by to Melissa and turned towards me. "What do you want, Zayn?" I chuckled and responded. "Already starting with the attitude I see. Listen I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out tonight like we used to, as friends. I promise that I will try not to come onto you." She pursed her lips, then looked up at me. "Alright, but if you try anything, I'll have to kick your ass. Let's go." I chuckled as we exited the school building.
