I didn't get hardly any sleep last night I looked at my clock 6:00am 'Urghh' may as well get up I had a shower and realised there was no food In my cupboards I forgot to go shopping.

I went to Harry and Liam's place lucky they'd just started making pancakes, not my favourite but they'll do.

8:30am

We drove today in Liam's car because it was raining.

We bumped into Louis and Niall so we walked with them. Harry and Liam were getting on with Louis and Niall really well. I could see us being a group of friends. But where was Zayn, I thought he was rude but he could come to Louis and Niall even though they were with us.

*3rd lesson*

It was business studies again. Louis was sat on my right and Niall on my left. But still no Zayn. I spoke to them

"So boys, where's Zayn?" Louis and Niall looked at each other.

"Um we don't really know sorry. Any reason?" Louis asked.

"No Louis, I was just wondering" I smiled.

About half way through business studies Zayn walked in, he was bleeding and had bruises all over is face and neck. He was wearing a leather jacket so I couldn't see his arms

"Mr Malik, what's happened to you?" the teacher asked. Zayn just shrugged and went to towards his seat in front of me. The teacher spoke

"Francesca, will you take Zayn to the first aid room? Thank you". I got up and took my stuff 'great' I said to myself.

Walking to the first aid room was awkward, Zayn just walked behind me.

"Um you don't have to take me you know. Just go back to class. I can look after myself" I glared at him.

"Yeah, because your doing a great job at it" I replied sarky. He just shook his head and put his hand through his hair and a small smile escaped him.

"So what happened to you?" he looked at me.

"Just a argument that got out of hand" I could see pain and anger in his eyes.

"What was the argument about?" I asked him knowing what the answer would be 'none of my business' he looked to the floor.

"Just my stuff, look I don't mean to be rude but it's private" I looked at him.

"Its ok Zayn, I thought that would be the answer. Anyway we're here now. Louis and Niall are having lunch with me and my friends Harry and Liam. You could join us if you want?" He looked up to me and smiled

"Yeah sure. I know Harry and Liam, I met them yesterday. They're coming to the party with you that Louis arranged at mine" I nodded and smiled. I left him and went back to businesses studies maybe he isn't rude after all.

*Lunch*

I sat on a table with Liam. Harry was just getting some lunch. Louis and Niall came. Then three girls came and sat down Danielle, Eleanor and Jess. Danielle had really curly brown hair I forgot to mention she's dating Liam since we were 16, Eleanor had cute long wavy brown hair and Jess had long straight brown hair like mine except I curled mine this morning. They were also my best friends since we were 13.

"Hey Francesca. Are we invited on Saturday?" Eleanor asked me.

"Course, just check with Louis. He's coming now"

Louis sat down and I could instantly tell my best friend Eleanor is definitely flirting with Louis its just like something she'd do, flirt with a boy you met 2 seconds ago. Then Zayn came over. He looked even hotter than yesterday even with the bruises.

"Hi Zayn, how do you feel?" I asked him but he just looked at me disgusted, like I'd done something wrong. Maybe he doesn't like that a girl is friends with his best friends. He's talking to everyone except me. Why?

...

It was the end of the day. Danielle had things to do so Eleanor and Jess came back to mine. We talked agaes and they both agreed that Zayn was rude to me, how could he be so talkative this morning but so rude before. Is it because I asked him who the argument was with? Maybe I should text him?

To Zayn:

Hi Zayn its Francesca. I was just asking if you're ok. You seemed a bit off with me at lunch. Anyway, hope everything's ok.

Francesca x

From Zayn:

Hey, no everything's fine. Just didn't feel in the mood since what happened today, see you on Saturday x

His text said he wasn't in the mood to talk yet he spoke to everyone else.

I was back at my flat, cooking pasta and chicken. It was all under control so I went and sat down. My phone started buzzing so I looked and I had a text from a number I didn't know:

From: unknown contact

I will get you. We will be together. Understood?!

Who on earth was this? They'd obviously sent it to the wrong number.

To: unknown contact

Hi, you just text me. Sorry I think you've got the wrong number

From: unknown contact

No, I don't think I have. You are Francesca Connor

Where has this person got my number from and how does he know my name? Maybe he's a friend of Louis, Niall or Zayn and taken their phone and sent this as a joke? Maybe, hopefully.

To: unknown contact

Um ok, how do you know my name and where did you get my number?

*30 minutes later*

Still no reply. Maybe I should go to Harry and Liam's place to stay the night.

To: Harry, Liam

Hi, is it ok if I stay at yours? I had this weird text from person saying they will get me and and we will be together. And it wasn't a wrong number because he knew my full name. I know it could be on of the boys friends having a joke but can I stay? x

From: Liam

Hey, course you can stay x

When I arrived at Harry and Liam's house they were really protective over me. Liam wanted my phone to call the unkown number but there was no answer. So Liam eventually gave up.

*11:30am*

I was lying in Harry's bed. Harry and Liam's house is only a two bedroom and they both wouldn't let me sleep on the sofa so I chose Harry's bed. I don't know why? Maybe because Liam is with Danielle. I could feel my eyes slowly closing.
