It was weird.
That's all he could think about. Sure, he'd kissed girls but he'd never kissed girls.
"What a lad! Detention for kissing?" Zayn's dad shook his head with a smile. "What's her name again?" He asked, stopping at a red light.
"Ariana." Zayn said her name with a smile.
"Ahh, young love." Zayn's dad said as the lights went to green and he carried on driving.
"Well, its not exactly love, its more..." Zayn searched for words. "I dunno I just kissed her. She's pretty."
"Just as long as you don't make me a grandfather just yet, then I'm okay." Yaser finally said as he pulled up to the highschool. "Have a good detention."
He gave his son a wave before driving off.
Zayn sighed and walked into the school. Instead of walking into crowds of rowdy teens throwing paper aeroplanes in the corridoor, but the eeriness of an empty school.
Saturday morning detention was with Ms Harvey - his homeroom teacher, so he figured he should go to his homeroom.
But just as he was about to politely knock on the door, he was grabbed around the waist.
"Huh?" He said, shocked.
"Hehe! Its me!" Ariana looked up at him. "You ready for this morning?"
Zayn groaned.
"Ugh its all my fault." He said with a weak smile.
"No its not!" Ariana shook her head and gave him a real smile.
Zayn smiled back.
"You had a good week?" He asked.
"Yes, because I became the guide buddy to the hot new kid." She said, dead serious.
Zayn snorted with laughter.
"Oh, sorry." He realised that snorting wasn't the most attractive thing to do infront of a girl you'd kissed five days ago. He hadn't kissed her since. He'd wanted to and he was pretty sure she'd love to kiss him back, but he never got around to it.
"Its fine." she giggled.
She knocked on the door twice.
"Come in." Ms Harveys muffled voice came from inside the classroom.
Zayn, always the gentleman, opened the door and let Ariana go in first. She gave him a cute smile as she walked in.
Zayn followed her.
"Zayn, Ariana." Ms Harvey said with a smile. "Seems you two are the only ones in detention today." She looked at the empty classroom. "Well, sit down, sit down." She insisted.
Ariana walked straight towards the front two desks and sat down at one, ushering for Zayn to sit on the one next to her - which he did.
With a warm smile directed at Ariana, Zayn asked, "What do you want us to do this morning?"
"Well, I have test papers to mark and then they need to be sorted out." Ms Harvey looked at Zayn and Ariana. "But that's mostly it."
"So what do you want us to do right now?" Ariana asked, furrowing her eyebrows.
Ms Harvey sighed and pulled out a heavy blue crate from underneath her desk and put it down on her desk.
"These are the papers i've already marked. They need to be taken to the library, sorted into order of grades and then put in my office."
"Oh." Ariana made an un-amused face.
Zayn just smiled.
"Okay, Miss." He got up and took the box from her desk. His knees buckled under the weight of it, causing laughter to erupt from both Ms Harvey and Ariana. Zayn turned red and walked out of the door.
Ariana got up and smiled at Ms Harvey, which was replied, then followed Zayn out the door.
"Come on, race me to the library!" Ariana teased, starting to jog.
"No way! I have to carry this with me and it weighs more than my little sister." Zayn whined.
"Ugh, lets just walk then." Ariana seemed annoyed which made Zayn frown slightly.
"I'll race you back." He said. "Like, when we've sorted all these papers out."
Ariana smiled.
"Ok."
After climbing numerous flights of stairs and struggling to carry the box of test papers, Ariana and Zayn finally made it to the library.
"After you," Zayn puffed, yanking the door open.
"No, no. You first, i'l hold the door." Ariana said with a grin.
Zayn looked relieved and walked into the library, putting down the box of papers on a nearby table.
After Ariana walked in, she asked, "So, you don't even lift?"
Zayn gave her an annoyed look.
"I was just kiddin', you know that right?" She asked, worried
Zayn's frown turned into a smile.
"Bet I could lift you."
Ariana giggled.
"Yeah, okay." She said sarcastically.
"Oh, you'll see." Zayn teased.
He grabbed her waist.
"Zayn!" Ariana laughed, attempting to pull him off her.
"I'm not going!" Zayn joked, lifting her and shaking her from side to side as she giggled. "See, I told you."
Zayn stopped shaking her and just held her there.
"I didn't hurt you just then, right?" He sounded concerned.
Ariana shook her head, then rested her hands on his shoulders.
"Can I kiss you again?" Zayn murmured.
"Mhm." Ariana breathed out.
Zayn leant in to Ariana, who was expecting a short, chaste kiss. As soon as his lips met hers he laid her gently on the table.
"Zayn.."She whispered.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to make out with you." He said with a smile. "We're too young for that stuff."
