*Harry's POV*

When Louis woke up, we didn't even have to convince him to help with our plan. He was on board right off the bat. Perfect.

The next day in school, the four of us walked in to school together. We scanned the hallways looking for Zayn, but surprisingly, we didn't see him. "He's always late." Liam muttered, "He'll be here by lunch." We all nodded. Now, we weren't launching our full idea of payback today. That would be rushing things, plus, we still didn't have the full plan thought out. Liam had given us a rough idea of what we were going to do over the phone last night, and we all loved the idea. But today we were just scratching the surface of the plan, to get things going. "See you mates at lunch, yeah?" Louis said, looking at the clock. It was time for class, we all nodded again and said goodbye, and anxiously waited for lunch to roll around.

The bell rang, signaling it was time for lunch. I practically ran to my locker to switch my supplies around, then to the cafeteria. I found Liam and Niall sitting at our normal table, but Louis wasn't here yet. It made me worry, did Zayn have him pinned against the lockers again? Or something worse? "STYLES!" an angry voice came from behind, along with two hands slamming on my shoulders. My heart jumped into my throat as the stranger turned me around. I opened my eyes expecting to see Zayn, but instead, I saw Louis, grinning. "Scared much?" I narrowed my eyes and shoved him off me. "You dick head, you scared the hell out of me!" He simply laughed and pushed me towards our table, were Liam and Niall were laughing about what had just happened. I felt my face flush.

"He got you! He so got you!" Niall choked out, his face turning red from laughter. "Oh shut up Niall!" I cried, hiding my hands in my face. "Alright alright, leave him be." Liam instructed, looking at Niall and Louis. they nodded, and eventually calmed down. "Thank you.." I mumbled, glaring at the both of them. They looked away grinning. 'Alright, back to business. Has anyone seen Zayn today?" We all shook our heads. Liam grunted. "Figures, the one day we're actually looking for him, he's not here." He ran his hands through his hair in frustration. "Just our luck." I sighed, that is just our luck. Now watch Zayn not bug us for the rest of the year.

"There he is!" Niall yelled, pointing to the door. We all turned our heads. He was right, Zayn was just walking through the door, only he looked different. He didn't look mean and scary today, he looked almost... lost. "What his problem?" Niall continued, picking up on Zayn's unusual attitude. I shrugged. "His girlfriend probably broke up with him of something. Cry me a river." he smirked. We watched him sit at his usual table, and start to chat with his friends. His mood perked up, but not completely. "Does he even have a girlfriend?" Lou asked, looking at me. I shrugged, "Probably not. who would want to date that?" They started laughing in agreement.

Zayn's table got up to go buy lunch, well, everyone besides Zayn. He stayed there by himself, pretending to busy himself on his phone. Why wasn't he eating?

"You think he brought lunch?" Niall perked up again, his mouth full of potatoe chips. Figured he would ask that question. I thought for a minute, then slowly shook my head. "I don't think so Nialler." he raised his eyebrows in disbelief. "And he calls ME a freak! How could you not eat?! Food is a gift! It's magical! It's-" "alright Ni, we get it!" Liam laughed along with Louis. I beamed, chuckling a little. Soon his table retured, and continued chatting away. I couldn't help but notice the way Zayn was staring at his friends food. It made me think. "So," Louis said, getting my attention. "How's everyone's day going?" he asked with a cheeky grin. "Horrible." I said back. He gave me a puzzled look. "Why Hazza?" I smirked slightly at his pet name for me. "I'm pretty sure I flunked my math test." "So? It's just one test." Liam butted in. "Yeah, just one test. That counts for 15% of my grade." He bit his bottem lip. "Oh.." I smirked, "Yeah, not so good. My mum's gonna kill-"

"INCOMING!" someone yelled, coming from the direction of Zayn's table. Before we could react, two cartons of open milk smashed into the middle of our table, getting us soaked in milk. Um, ew. I glared over at Zayn's table, which were almost pissing their pants from laughing so hard. I noticed that Zayn was laughing too. Typical.

"Son of a bitch!" Liam screamed, standing up. He was more drenched in the liquid then anyone else. I saw Zayn point and laugh harder, saying something like "Look! The loser wet his pants!" I looked at Liam, and noticed that the milk had soaked into his pants, near his crotch area. Ouch. I took off my sweat jacket and handed it too him. "Here, tie it around your waist." He took it and did so, "Thanks mate." he sighed. "Aw look, the little girls got a skirt!" we all spun around too see Zayn towering over us. I gulped.

"Screw off Zayn.." Niall mumbled under his breath, but not quietly enough. Zayn was over by Niall in a flash, grabbing him by his shirt. "What did you say, you stupid little leprechaun?" I expected Niall to duck back into his shell, but boy was I wrong. I saw his blue eyes turn red with anger. "I said, SCREW. OFF." His knee shot up and nailed Zayn right in the groin. Liam, Louis and I all winced at the sight, we all know how that feels. Zayn grabbed his 'area' and dropped to his knees in pain. I swear I saw some tears. The whole cafeteria went silent. Well, that is, before Louis burst out into laughter. Liam started to laugh as well, and I just couldn't hold it back any longer. Everyone started laughing and pointing at Zayn, and I loved every second of it.

A few minutes later, Zayn was still on the ground, and people were still laughing. I just couldn't get enough of this. Can someone please take a picture?! But sudden Zayn shot up and tackled Niall to the ground, scaring the shit out of us. He punched Niall over and over, and believe it or not, Niall was fighting back. They were tossing and turning, hitting and punching each other. Everyone gathered around to watch, screaming the casual "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" After awhile, I began to get nervous for Niall. He looked like he was getting tired. I don't know how I got the courage to, but I made my way through the crowd and jumped on Zayn's back, knocking him off of Niall. He looked up at me with pure anger in his eyes, clenching his teeth. He looked pretty beat up, Niall did a good job. He flipped me off of his back and knelled over me, starting to beat me. But I lifted my feet from under him, and kicked him in the face, straight in the nose.

Zayn yelped in pain, falling back and covering his nose. Tears were filling his eyes and streams of blood were slipping out from under his hand. He quickly got up and sprinted out of the cafeteria, leaving everyone shocked.

It was silent. Then Liam went wild. "WOO HOO!" he yelled, picking me off the ground and shaking me by the shoulders. "Harry! You did it! You actually beat Zayn!" Louis was doing the same to Niall. I smiled, "Don't let me take all the credit, Niall did most of the work." Liam jumped onto Niall, engulfing him in a huge hug. "Way to go, Ni!" He smiled and let out that loud laugh, hugging him back. The whole cafeateria was cheering.

Well, besides Zayn's friends, who rolled their eyes and went back to their table. What sore losers.
