"So... you got suspended for laughing at a teacher while he cried about his dead dog?" I laughed, trying to catch my breath and Zayn laughed along while I held the coffee cup in my hands. I tried to keep my laughing at a normal pace considering that some people from our school were sitting in the coffee shop.

"Yeah," He laughed. He and I had been here for at least a half an hour. He had told me about his family and I had told him of mine. We had told eachother the basics, our favorite color, our birthdays, and we had a lot in commen. In fact my birthday was 4 days after his. January 17th was his (A/N I know its not his real birthday) And January 21st was mine.

Soon it will be winter after fall and maybe we will celebrate together. Who knows what could happen. I've had such a nice time for once laughing in the last half hour then I have with Louis in 3 years. Funny how things can turn around so quickly.

"We should get going. Class starts in twenty." He spoke and I nodded. I stood up and pushed in my stool, a goofy smile still etched on my features.

I felt fingers lace with mine once more and I looked up at Zayn to see a smile on his face also. He led me out the coffee shop and to his car and opened the door for me, while I slid in. He got to the other side and slid in the car, shutting his door and locking the car doors. He started the cars engine and turned on the heat.

I have to admit, you can tell fall is coming. It's starting to get even colder and the way the leaves twirl with the wind that create a mixture of orange and red, reminding you of the days of summer. A gentle breeze in the day turns to a tornado at night. The way people rush to their cars to avoid the harsh cold. The way I can see my breath, when I exhale and it mixes with the motion of the cool night air. It makes the illusion I'm smoking, something I've missed.

"We are here." I looked up in suprise. We were indeed at school and I had gone into another one of my thinking trances. I had stared out the window for countless minutes, and I had no idea I had. Zayn had most likely spoken to me, and I had ignored him.

"S-sorry.. I was just thinking." I smiled and he shook his head.

"Don't be sorry. It's just the way you are." He smiled and unlocked the doors. He may look mean, but he's shy and nice and chill I guess? Understanding definetly.

"Thankyou, Zayn. For paying for coffee." I thanked and he waved it off and grabbed my school bag.

"No problem. I'll carry this for you. It looks really heavy." He told me and stepped out of the car before I could object. I really hope Louis won't see us. All thats running through my mind is hell walk out of school.

Thankfully, we make it up the school steps, teenagers around us, bit no sign of Louis. Zayn opens the door for me, and people give us wierd glances. I don't care anymore, let them stare, its always the same. I walked in and he walked in behind me, letting the double door shut by itself.

"Here's your book bag, I have to go meet Liam before class. I'll meet you in first period okay?" He told me and I nodded. He seperated from me, walking down the east corridor, towards the gym and football field was. I sighed and practically ran up the stairs, rushing to get to my locker, since class started in ten minutes.

As soon as I got to the senior floor, I was almost trampled by the amount of seniors. Shit, there is a pep rally today. I totally forgot. We leave for the pep rally out of our classrooms at 8:30 and in the morning seniors are still pretty hype and rowdy.

I was almost to my locker , being carried with the crowd, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see Louis. Not again. Thanks for leaving me Zayn.

"So, Cam, had fun on your little date with Zaynie?" Louis laughed and then I saw Brian behind him along with a senior I didn't recognize. I'm suprised Brian and Louis are still friends.

"It wasn't a date." I stated and pushed his hand off my shoulder. By now people were chanting "Doncaster Dinos!" Considering we go to Doncaster Acadamy. I could barely hear his last remark.

"Sure it wasn't. Did you let him get in your trousers so easy, love?" He laughed and my jaw almost hit the floor. I felt a sting go through my hand and I realized I had slapped him.

"I'm not that type of girl." I stated through gritted teeth and turned around, walking straight to my locker. I put in my combination and opened my locker only to be swung around and pushed against it, making it shut. Was anybody paying attention to this?? No , they were too busy acting like stupid jocks.

I gritted my teeth in pain at the force. My back already hurt like hell because of my mattress at home, I didn't need this too.

"How dare you fucking slap me. Your just a slut. Hopping from me to Zayn aye? It won't be that way for long." He spat , and I lookd straight into his eyes, searching for emotion. All I found was disgust and jealousy. He can't hide his emotions as well as I can with the wall I've built up.

"What are you talking about-" I started to choke when I felt a huge pain in my stomach. I looked down to see he had his fist against my gut. He had punched me. He had never been this physical.

I gasped for air, I couldn't breath, ir hurt so bad and I kicked him in the leg, hard. Hard enough for him to let go. I started seeing stars and I tried to maintain my breathing.

I fell on the ground as I felt another blow on my back. I felt tears prick my eyes. The star population had gotten bigger and then all I could see was black.

The monster is back.
