Zayns point of view. 

The second day back at school and i already need another two weeks off. I need to stay away from Harry. If i get these feelings after one day with him, what will i be like when ive spent a week with him? Or a month? I cant do it. I need to be alone. 

'Zayn' Harry smiled running towards me in the corridor. I smile at him and continue walking. 'Hey!' He continues to run after me.'Whats up?' he has a faint smile on his face. 'Nothing, i have to get to class' i say bluntly. 'Oh' and i just walked off. I wish i didnt have to be so harsh with him, but it would only end badly if i accepted him as a friend. For the both of us. 

Its gonna be hard ignoring him, we have to same timetable, and because we were paired together yesterday, a majority of the teachers have chose to seat us together. 

The science teacher gives us the project that we have to complete and i think it would be easy, until he announces that, because he wants to make it easier for us, we have to work in pairs. Great. Not only do i have to ignore Harry in school, but i now have to complete a project with him outside of school and still ignore him? I dont see how this is going to work, but im going to have to try. Even if I have to make him hate me, we cant be friends.

Harrys point of view. 

Our science just gave us our project, which has to be completed in pairs. Yesterday if i was paired with Zayn to work on a project i would have been happy, but right now, hes just acting so awkward. 'Zayn!' i snap him out of his thoughts. He just looks at me asking what do i want. 'When are going to work on the project and where?' i question and he just shrugs his shoulders. 'Fine. My place. Tonight' i write my address on a piece of paper and place it in his pocket and walk away as the bell rings.

It would be a lot easier if Zayn actually cooperated in conversations, but he just sat there with a blank expression. The day flys by pretty quickly and i go home and shower and put on fresh clothes. To be honest i didnt think Zayn was going to turn up, hes been acting so strange. But he did, in his usual black faded jeans and very tight white shirt, allowing his toned abs to show through a little. I invite him in my house with a weak smile, and we go up my room to start the project. 

He just sat awkwardly on the edge of my bed until i told him to relax. 'So Zayn? You come here often?' i joked and he couldnt help but laugh. 'What? your bedroom? no, cant say i do!' he chuckled. This appeared to have lightened the mood. We sat in silence working on the project together, although now it wasnt awkward. Breaking the silence was a good idea. Good job Harry.

'So Harry, considering we are going to working together a lot, why dont we try and get to know eachother better?' Zayn faintly smiled. i nodded. 'So from the top' i laughed. 'My name is Harry Styles, as you know, i live with my mum and my sister Gemma, i moved schools because of lack of social life where we lived before. I wasnt very popular in my old school either, no one appeared to like me. I was always the geeky kid with the 'curly mop head' i quoted. Zayn looked up at me when i said this. 'Harry, you shouldnt listen to what any of them say. Dont change for anyone, be yourself' he smiles. He looked as if he wanted to say someting else, and i waited, but nothing. 

Zayns point of view. 

'So Harry Styles' i laughed. 'Im Zayn Malik, im pretty much a loner. Thats not because no one likes me. Everyone loves me which is annoying when you want to be alone' i laugh, but Harry didnt find it too amusing. Harry just looked up at me sitting at his desk, he stood up and came and sat next to me on his bed. 'Why do you want to be alone Zayn?' he asks so openly. I was shocked. 'Whenever i let someone in, all i recieve is pain and heartache, its not worth it' i replied bluntly. I dont know why i am opening up to Harry, i barely know the kid, but for some strange reason, i feel i can trust him with this. Its nice to be able to share how i feel and not be judeged.

'What about Liam?' Harry asked me. 'Liams my best friend, and i know he is always there for me, but he doesnt know everything that has happened in my life, therefore he cant always be there as he doesnt know the problem' i answered honestly. I just looked up at Harry and got lost in his deep green eyes again,neither of us taking them from the other. 

'Harry' i whispered, still neither of us breaking the gaze. 'We need to get the project done' i looked away sharply adjusting my tone of voice. Harry looked at me with disappointment. 'What?' i asked and he just shook his head, but i tell him to tell me the problem. 

'Zayn' he moves closer to me on the bed so out legs are now touching. 'Let someone in, you cant be alone forever. One day, you're gonna find someone you love,trust and want to marry. You will have a life. You cant be alone forever because of what has happened in the past. You need let it all go and get on with your life. You shouldnt punish yourself like this' As Harry spoke he moved his body closer and closer to mine. 'And i know we only just met, but i am here for you, i will be a friend when you need someone to talk to Zayn. You're not alone' he finished. 

I was shocked. No one has ever spoke to me like this. Harry told me matter of factly what i need to do. not for anyone else, but for myself. After a moments silence after Harrys speech i reply. 'Thank you. But im not so sure' i look down at my hands. 'Hey' he cautiously places his hand on mine, once he realises i dont pull away, he continues. 'Listen to me, you deserve better than what you give yourself Zayn, let me be you're friend,you cant be alone forever'

All i was concentrating on was Harrys lips moving and i didnt care what was coming out of them anymore. 'What do i deserve then?' i ask Harry still staring down at Harrys slightly chapped lips. 'Everything' Harry tells me not looking away. We sit in silence just staring at eachother. I look up to Harrys heavenly green eyes, 'Show me' i whisper. 'No' he told me. I stood up away from him straight away. 'No Zayn, stop. Listen to me, I would love to, trust me! but you dont want this Zayn. You told me yourself! I wont take advantage' he explained to me, hoping I'll understand. He sits down next to me and stays in silence. "You're right, I dont want that.Thank you" i smiled weakly. We spent the next few hours doing our project and getting to know eachother better.

"When we next going to do this?" I ask Harry. "Its almost done so we should just get it out of the way tomorrow" he says. "Sure" We sat in the middle of his bed with the laptop in between us. "Ive had enough for today" Harry laughed pushing the project to the side. I pick up the laptop opening a browser. "Want to watch a movie?" I ask without looking at him. "Sure" We sat through the whole of "The Hunger Games" in silenece sharing glances every now and then, Harry commenting on how 'hot' Katniss was every now and then. The film ended and I stood up.

"Thank you for today Harry. It means a lot to be able to have a friend" I walked out without giving him a chance to reply.
