Zayn was 5 years old when he had his first real birthday party. He remembered it was Superman themed and he'd insisted on wearing a long, red cape. All the boys in his neighborhood had loved it, thought it was the coolest thing ever. And so did Zayn. He would jump off the couch with that cape, pretending he could fly and beat up villains. It would've been perfect if his mother hadn't invited that one boy from his class, the one who liked to kick his lego towers down at play time. 

His name was Harry Styles. He had thick, brown curly hair, dimples in his cheeks, and bright green eyes. There was only one word 5 year old Zayn use to describe him: evil. 

"That cape is stupid." Was the first thing Harry said to him when he showed up.

"No it's not!" 

Zayn always found himself yelling when he talked to the other boy. It was impossible not to, especially when he'd insult his precious Superman capes. 

"Yes it is." Harry insisted.

"Well you're stupid."

It continued like this for the rest of the party. The boys would trip and shove each other when everyone was playing, Harry would try and rip Zayn's presents open before he could, and Zayn remembers specifically that Harry tried to blow out his candles before he could as well. The moment had been mortifying because he'd succeeded, and all his candles blew out before Zayn could even make a wish. He remembers he cried for the rest of the party, and his mother had sent everyone home.

Needless to say, Harry was a demon.
