Knowing My Luck [Ziall Horlik]

Chapter 4

Niall POV

Uh Oh. This cant be good.

As I walked up to my locker, he looked up and smiled weakly then butt-scooched over out of the way.

"Hey, whats wrong?" I asked worried. 

"Uhm...can we not talk about it here?"

"Yea sure. Let me just put my stuff away then I know a place we can go," I answered while putting my bag in my locker and giving the lock to Bri so she could lock it. I stuck my hand out to Zayn and he took my hand and i helped him. He wiped his face and we walked down the hall to where I was taking him. As we walked up to the double-doors that lead to the abandoned hallway. 

"Are you sure we are allowed in here Ni?"

"I'm not sure...that's a good question," I said sarcastically while opening the door and motioning him to go in. We walked to the end of the hallway and sat on the floor. "So, whats wrong?"

"Well it started last night at the dinner table. My family was doing what we usually do; talk about our day. I decided to surprise them by telling everyone my biggest secret. I'm gonna tell you but you have to promise me you wont tell anybody. I mean nobody."

"I promise."

"Well, I'm not sure why I started feeling this way, I guess last year but... I'm bisexual." my heart dropped. The guy I like is bi. What the actual fuck? Wait why is he saying it like its a bad thing?

"Is there something wrong with being bi?" I asked trying not to make myself sound defensive. 

"Not for me, but for my parents its a bad thing. My dad left last night after dinner and he still wasn't back when I came to school. My mom didn't speak to me at all last night or this morning. Louis and Nic are the only others who know besides you. I know for sure that I'm bi because I used to like my one friend Harry. After what happened last night, I didn't sleep at all. I just sat in bed and cried all night," he was in tears again. "I just never thought it would end up like this. I'm sorry for wasting your time with my problems. You probably moved on from our friendship and found other friends. I'm sorry."

"No, Your not wasting my time. I'm sure your parents will come around, they were probably just shocked. They wont hate you for it," I reassured him. Just then, the ball rang. "We gotta go to math. ill see you there."

"Thank you so much for being here to listen to my problems Niall," He said as he pulled me into a hug.

"No problem Zayn. If you ever need anything, just come and find me." We walked out the door and started walking towards our lockers. I stopped at mine where Bri had left Kira and Mac waiting for me with my books. I grabbed my books from Kira, thanked her, and walked to math. I sat in my assigned seat and pulled out my phone to see 5 texts and 3 missed calls from Bri. I unlocked my phone and read the texts.

Bri: Hey, where are you???

Bri: Niall? Where are you?

Bri: Are you ignoring me Niall James Horan?!

Kyla: Hey. Bri is wondering where you are... Where are you?

Bri: HELLO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Oh my. Mrs Dempsey walked in and I put my phone back in my pocket. I didn't bother responding to Bri because I would see her at our locker after class. This class was different than yesterdays though. I couldn't quite figure out why it was so different until Mrs Dempsey asked why Zayn wasn't here. That was it. Zayn wasn't here. 

At the end of class, Kira, Mac and I walked back to our lockers and I could see Bri rummaging through the locker looking for something. "What are you looking for Bri?"
