That Rich Kid (Niall Horan)

Chapter 5

Zayn's P.O.V
I scrolled through my Facebook feed while having this iced green tea. Nothing much. Just a bunch of people who shared about their private lives. I was at Starbucks, waiting for a figure to appear. Yes, I had chosen to sit next to a window of this Starbucks Store so it would be easy for me to realize that person's presence. This cold green tea moved slowly through my throat. The coldness could be felt and it reduced my anger.

A peaceful jazz song was playing in this slumberous evening and my eyes almost closed. Enjoying the melodies of this song calmed my mind. A cold green tea. A wonderful jazz song. What a paradise.

"Hey," someone interrupted me while I was on my thoughts . I opened my eyes. Niall Horan. He was right there standing in front of me. His face showed that he was tired. His pale skin looked paler perhaps his illness wasn't well yet.

"You may sit," I offered him to sit. A cup of hot chocolate was in his right hand. He nodded as soon as I looked at him.

He drank the hot chocolate calmly. His eyes showed that it was nothing on his mind. I stayed silent. Didn't want to talk yet. Letting him enjoy his drink was better than disturbing him. I wanted to meet Niall because of... Ava. The fact that I had a huge crush on my best friend was quite stressful. I knew she wouldn't like me back.

5 minutes had passed by. Niall and I still didn't say a word. Niall hadn't finished his hot chocolate yet. I thought it was simple to talk to him but in reality it was quite hard cause my tongue tied. Nervous. I felt scared. He was my bully. We didn't get along until today.

"I want to ask you something?," I started the conversation. Fun good job Zayn. The awkwardness made me force myself to not to smile. Even a small smile.

"What?," he asked me back. Niall Horan. My childhood bully. But until today Ava and him didn't get along yet. I shut my mouth for a while. Let's go Zayn. Do this for Ava.

"Why did you disturb Ava? I know it's just a small matter between both of you. Pardon me for Ava's behavior," I wanted a peace deal with him. I wanted Ava didn't argue with Niall anymore. I wanted both of them to stay peace. Niall was the one who started the fight first.

"None of your business," he replied shortly and continued drinking. He didn't even want to look at my face. How arrogant. Calm down Zayn.

"Well.. If you don't want to tell me. I won't be forceful. I just want you to be nice with Ava. If you don't mind, do apologize her. Please, I beg you. No fight anymore okay? I'm sorry if I'm making you mad but it's the best solution for both of you," I said. I decided to leave. I got up from my chair and I took my iced green tea from the table.

"See you. Take care," I said, leaving Niall alone. He still sat there and didn't say a word.

The truth was I didn't want Ava to be mad anymore. I didn't want Ava to get stressed. I just wanted her to enjoy her life. That's why I decided to meet her biggest enemy. May both of them wouldn't fight anymore. Most importantly, may Ava would be happy after this.

Ava's P.O.V
"Yay Daddy is home!," I jumped from the couch and hugged Dad as soon as he closed the door. The smell of his perfume was stuck in the air. Dad just got back from an interview. He wanted to start a job as a clerk in a company. He worked very hard to raise me.

"How was the interview?," I asked him excitedly. I knew that I was about to hear a fantastic news.

"It was great! I can start working tomorrow!," he replied with a huge smile on his face.

"Yay! Congrats Dad!," I was very proud of him.

"Ava, let's have dinner now," he said while two boxes of pizzas and a packet of a takeaway sushi in his hands. Luckily, I just cooked a special instant noodles for our dinner. So that would be many food on the table. What a great evening.

I'm sorry for being such a jerk to you. I'm so sorry.
I got a text from an unknown number. I was confused. It was 11 o'clock. I wanted to sleep. I had to go to school tomorrow. Who just texted me? I wondered who was the one that just sent me this message. I laid down, thinking of the persons who I knew. Maybe one of them could be the one.

Zayn? No freaking way. I had his number. Diana? She was very nice to me. So no. Savannah? She had never been a jerk. Why would she? Erm... No.
Tyler from the biology class? Haha obviously no.

There were a lot of names in my mind that I had been guessing. I thought they were all wrong.
Who?
Was that?
That Rich Kid?
