Behind the Voice (a zayn malik fanfic)

Jade's POV

"Ow!" I muttered. I hate being one of the shortest people at school. I'm always getting pushed or shoved into other people. Like seriously I'm a human being too you know, I have feelings! Geez. Well another reason that I get pushed around is that, well I'm a nerd..I get straight A's and am the teachers pet. I've gotten an award for honours roll every year.

Well I'm in grade 12 now. Still as short as the grade 9's...sadly. Doesn't God want me to grow?! Well, whatever I guess I'll just always be super short. As I was saying, I'm the school nerd as people say and I think it makes sense...

My hair is put up into two pigtails and I have big glasses. I'm wearing a plaid sweater vest and shorts that go just below my knees. Talk about fashionable. I mean I've tried wearing fashionable clothing, but most of it is so uncomfortable so I just wear what's comfortable for me.

RIIIINNNNNGGGGGGGG

There goes the bell. School is over.

As I walk past the "popular girls", I try not to make eye contact and instead just stare at the ground.

"Ew! Why and how does she wear that to school?! It's so ugly and embarrassing!" One girl whispered to the other. I just ignored them and kept walking. When I looked up, I caught the eyes of the most popular guy in school. Zayn Malik. I quickly looked away and started walking faster as my heart thumped loudly against my chest. I've always thought he was good looking and I still do. His sparkling chocolate brown eyes, his hair perfectly put into a quiff. He was just wow. I didn't really have a crush on him or anything. I just thought he was good looking. I've never talked to him and he's never talked to me either. Surprisingly, he hasn't said or done anything to hurt my feelings, considering he's super popular and I'm a total nerd.

I got to my locker and quickly put my books away. I rushed down the hall just to finally get out of the school to get some fresh air. I walk to and from school everyday. It's quite the workout! I would usually walk home with my one (and only) friend, Julia, but she got the cold and stayed home.

Oh, I forgot to mention something. I sing. Nobody knows I do though. Nobody, and I repeat nobody. I've done pretty good of keeping it a secret. I'm really shy to sing in front of people, but I like to let other people hear my voice. What I do is I post videos on YouTube of me singing covers of songs. I don't know if they are any good, but the feedback I get is usually good considering nobody knows it's me. When I make the videos, I cover my camera so it's just a black screen, but with me singing. I do this because I don't want people to know it's me. Why? Because like I said before, I'm shy and I don't know what people would think of me if they found out it was me.

I get lots of comments on my videos saying, "Wow! What a beautiful voice! But who are you??? Why don't you show your face??"

I never reply to the comments and I normally just ignore people asking me to show my face because I know they like my voice and that's all that matters to me.

I climbed the footsteps of my doorstep and unlocked the door into my house.

"How was your day today, honey?" My mother asked me as she was cooking in the kitchen.

"Good." I replied

"Are you hungry?"

"No, I'm good thanks." I just wanted to go upstairs and start working on my next video. I've only got two so far... "I'm just gonna go finish up some homework." I lied. My mother thinks I spend too much time singing and need to take a break sometimes, but I tell her that I don't need one. My mom, my dad, and my sister, Lizzy, are the only ones who know about my singing. No one else other than them.

"Okay, dear I'll be here cooking if you need any help." My mom replied with a smile.

"Okay, thanks mom." I smiled back and headed upstairs into my room.

As I was heading to my room, I passed by my sister's room and saw her reading.

"Hey Liz." I greeted her.

"Oh, hey jade." She replied.

I headed into my room and shut my door. I took out my guitar and started to strum random chords. What song should I do a cover of..?
