Back Of The Class (Zayn Malik AU)

Chapter Twenty Nine

"It's the last day of school!" Henry shouted pulling my bedsheets off of me. "Wake up!"

"I don't start until later on, asshole." I groaned.

"I don't care, we are graduating in less than 10 hours!" he said throwing a pillow at me. "It's our last year so get up, come on! I let you miss prom I'm not letting you miss the most important day."

"I only have to be at the graduation, I don't have to go to school."

"Shut up, it's our last day just come. All we're doing is going to an assembly and getting food. It's not like we have actual classes." he said pulling me up. "Plus you can't graduate until every teacher signs off on your classes so get ready."

I rolled my eyes. "Fine." I snapped getting up.

I'm excited about graduation I really am, I'm just not excited to see everyone there. Yesterday I left things off pretty bad with certain people and I just don't want to face them. I know right, look at me always trying to run away from my problems. After putting on whatever I found in my closet, Henry dragged me all the way to school, literally, he said since it's our last day we should walk. I can't believe I even followed him.

Once we got to school we grabbed our check out sheet then headed to the auditorium where there was going to be an assembly. No one really cared for it but it gave seniors the chance to get their sheet signed so they can check out. I only had like 3 classes so finding my teachers didn't take long, Henry on the other hand decided to take forever.

"Jeez, why are you in a rush?" he asked as we both turned in our sheets to the counselors. "We have so much time until it's graduation."

I rolled my eyes, "Still, I don't want to be here."

"Do you want to go back home now?" he asked.

"Yeah, if there's nothing else we have to do." I answered.

Henry looked down at his phone, "I gotta go meet up the team so you might have to wait."

"Dude, I'm gonna just walk home then-"

"Or," a voice interrupted. "you can hang out with some cool guys like us."

"God, Michael she's not gonna wanna hang out with us now." Ashton groaned.

"Since the three of us have nothing to do we should just hang out." Michael suggested. "Plus, Ashton and I are your favorites anyways."

Ashton nodded, "We haven't seen you in so long and it's our last day."

"So, what's the plan?" I asked giving in to them.

"My house." Michael answered. "You both can help pick out my graduation outfit."

I laughed, "Jeez, even I had an outfit planned, Michael."

It was weird being in the car with them especially since I haven't spoken to them in a while but they didn't seem to mind I was quietly sitting in the back. I mostly listened as they talked about their plans with their families tonight.

"You never really talk about it but if you don't mind me asking, are your parents coming today?" Ashton asked looking at me through the rear view mirror.

I sighed, "No. I haven't told anyone but I'm leaving back to the states in a couple of days." I answered. "It just doesn't feel right to stay."

"So, today will basically be our last day together?" Michael asked pouting.

"Yup."

"Thank God I told Luke and Calum." Ashton mumbled. "It was supposed to be a surprise for but I ended up finding out."
