Sophomore year

My Escape

The school day was lasting forever... I just wanted to see Harry. It was only second period... math. At least I had Rose to talk to in this class. She and I had gotten every close in the past year, she was my best friend. I sat in my normal seat in the back of the class, geometry, I hated it I was horrible at it, at this point in the year I was lucky to be passing....

"Hey girl, why does it look like you are already hating this day?" 

"Hahaha I don't hate it but I hate this class almost just as much as you do. But I know for a fact that Mr. Newsome is out to get us." I joked taking out my work from my backpack

"You are 100% right on that one girly, when in my life will I use this crap anyway? Ugh I hate math! And are you okay I texted you all day yesterday and you never answered me."

"Oh my god I'm so sorry but I'm great actually.. something happened yesterday that I wanted to tell you about..."

"Class hasn't even started yet, am I going to have to move your girls apart today?" Mr.Newsome our math teacher said to us as he wrote problems up on the board. 

" No sir.... anyway.... I wanted to tell you that I had gotten a hold of Harry." I whispered to her 

"Oh my god! No fucking way! Are you serious! How did that happen!?"

"I found his cousin on Facebook and I told him to tell him to message me... and he text me last night...."

"Have you seen him today?"

I paused and looked at the hand imprint on my arm left from Zayn this morning... I couldn't tell her... not yet... not while we were still together. I acted like I didn't hear her and started to do my work. What was I going to say? OH yeah we sat there and just looked at each other for a half hour, no talking, just looking into each others eyes and then when my boyfriend saw. He not only freaked out  he hurt me and left a huge bruise on my arm.  With all that has happened with Zayn I couldn't tell her now I have been keeping this secret for over a year now. She would be so mad at me.

"yeah... um I saw him this morning.... we didn't talk or anything we just kinda sat there."

"It wasn't weird?"

"No actually....It was great." I blush 

"Are you going to see him again?"

"He wants to see me after school.... but I don't know what I would tell my mom."

"Tell her your staying after for study hall or something. If she asks why just say I asked you too stay with me, I'll cover for you."

"I guess I could do that, and thanks that means a lot too me."

"What are best friends for silly."

I pulled out my phone to text my mom to tell her I was going to stay for study hall with Rose. She didn't seem to care, the period went faster then the rest of my day. I had one more class before lunch and five more before the end of the day.... then I would get to see Harry just a few more hours before I would get to see him. Before I could get too excited I know that I would have to see Zayn again.

I finished my class before lunch and made my way to my locker. As I look down the hall I see Harry talking to a few of the football players, he looks at me and I smile, but it quickly goes away because of a pain I start to feel on my arm. It was such a sharp pain I let out a small cry. I pull my arm away from him as hard as I can, and step away from him holding my arm trying not to cry.

"Mack what are you doing?" Zayn snapped at me

"Putting my things away what does it look like I'm doing?" 

"Who are you looking at?" he questioned me

"No one Zayn, god why do I always have to be doing something wrong? What is your problem lately I can't stand it anymore." I snap before my brain could catch up with what was going on.

"Mackenzie who the fuck do you think your talking too?"

"Zayn I'm talking to you! Neither one of us is happy anymore why can't we just stop this?"

People in the hall were now looking at us and I noticed that I was now crying. I looked around and whipped off my face, trying to show people I was fine. I saw Harry down the hall waiting for me. I wave at him and he gives me a nod and walks to the lunch room. I look back up at Zayn who I could tell was fuming mad. I rolled my eyes but stepped away from him, he wouldn't hit me here I knew that much. Here at school he was like a god, everyone liked him no one would ever say two bad words about him. 

"I'm going to San Diego next week." He spit out 

"For what?" my heart kinda jumped a little he would be gone and I could see Harry as much as i wanted 

" DECA Its for this big meeting that a whole bunch of us board members are going to. I will be gone from next Tuesday until the next Monday. Can I trust you to be a good girl and not make me come back and make me hurt you right?" 

I rolled my eyes and slammed my locker. I started to walk away and didn't care who was watching. I was so pissed off I didn't even know what to do. I could feel my face get redder and hotter. What a bastard.. what a son of a bitch..

"Have fun on your trip Zayn!" I turned around and faked a smile
