Muse (A One Direction Fanfic)

4

I run my fingers through my hair. It's four in the morning and I haven't slept yet. I finally finish Rylies paper then mine around 4:30.

Sam rolls to face me on her bed as I shut my computer. "You are too nice." She says quietly. I pull my hair up in a ponytail and smile. "You are too, you know." I tell her.

I get under my comforters and try to get comfortable.

"No, I'm not. I have no one to be nice to." She says, and it hurts me a little.

"You're nice to me." Is all I can think of and I get a little mad at myself for not thinking of something better to say to make Sam feel a little bit better.

Smiling I hold on to the straps of my backpack and I search for dark hair and black clothing. Im almost surprised that I have this much energy; running on 4 hours of sleep. But then again, at home I have four brothers. Little sleep is what I know.

Im going to practice for my solo recital for next week, and I want Zayn to come.

When I find him, he's by Dee; a girl in the 194 crew. She wearing a long shirt with Bob Marley on it and black boots.

I approach them, confidently. "Hey Zayn." I say smiling. He turns to me, and I take in his eyes. They're brown...with a little yellow? Hazel?

Dee looks at me and laughs, "What do you want tinker bell?" She says harshly. She's always had called me tinker bell, which doesn't make sense. I don't have Blond hair and Tinker Bell isn't a ballerina or maybe she thought Tinker Bell was? I don't know.

"Leave her alone Dee. What's up Sky." He says, not as harshly but not nice either-not the same tone as last night. Maybe he's bad boy demeanor is just a front.

"Wait what? What do you two possibly have to talk about?" She says confused.

Leena, also in 194 walks up beside Dee. "What's the situation?" She asks. Dee looks up to her, "Zayn and little miss perfect here want to talk." She says motioning between Zayn and I. It seemed like Leena came out of the blue but I guess I didn't notice the 194's sitting so close to where Dee and Zayn were talking.

"What's the problem? Can I not speak to him without getting through y'all or?" I say, annoyance present in my voice.

Zayn grabs my wrist just as Leena was about to say something. "They are ridiculous." He says to me, close enough for them to hear him.

He let's go of my wrist that he only held lightly. "I'm going to practice..." He looks down at me as if to say 'so'. "Uh...I want you to come." I say, not noticing how awkward it sounds until I actually say it.

I look at him and he looks at me, is he going to answer or not? "Okay...I sound stupid." I say turning to walk away. "Sorry." I say mumbling. Things feel off, way different than last night. Did I say something stupid? Did he not want his friends to know, we talked? I shouldn't have....

"Hey," He says touching my shoulder. "Sorry, yeah. Are you going right now?...My cameras in my room, wait for me?" He says finally smiling.

"Yeah. Okay, I'll be in the parking lot." I tell him, he nods; "One sec." He runs back to the 194's and tells them something that causes them to look at me. I look down, kicking rocks at my feet. I look back and as Zayn try's to leave. Leena grabs him by the arm and kisses him. Oh.

When I look up again, Leena is smiling at me.

Confused, I circle around the commons where everyone is at and take the long way to the parking lot to avoid the 194...more like avoid Leena. Did she kiss him to spite me? Why would she think that would some how hurt me when Zayn and I aren't even a thing? Why would she want even hurt me in the first place?

Laughing at the thought, I bump into someone that causes me to fall backwards. "Im so sorry." I say the same time the other person says the same thing.

I look up and he extends a hand to help me up with. "Hi. Im Harry." The tall...very tall, brown headed person says to me...with an accent! Maine is really becoming really diverse! His eyes are a piercing green and his hair is run back and slightly curly. "Im uh Sky...my name is Scarlett but I go by Sky. Um...do you go here?" Once the words slip out, they seemed like it took hours to say.

"Dad shipped me to my moms, so here I am." He says, smiling...wow his teeth are really white. And he's lips are curved in perfection. "And Sky slash Scarlett, that's a pretty name."

"Oh thanks. Yours too, where'd you get it?" I cover my mouth quickly. "I mean...wow am I nervous. What a way to meet someone on your first day. I'm sorry."

He laughs for awhile, "No. I think your cute. And trust me, you aren't weird at all. A guy at the entrance was getting yelled at by a teacher for pissing on bushes!" He says laughing, this time i join him. "No way! Oh my god."

"Sky?" Zayn yells a little ways from us waving. Harry looks at him then back to me. "Boyfriend?" I smile and shake my head. "Nope." Harry smiles at that. It gives me butterflies. "Maybe you could show me around sometime?" He asks. "Yeah, that would be great! I'll be back in a little, see you around?" Harry smiles at me and it makes me want to do kart wheels. "Sure thing." He says. I almost get goosebumps as he said it. It sounded so good, 'sure thing' never sounded so good out of anyone else's mouth. Okay I'm crazy. I nod at him and make my way towards Zayn.

Harrys accent is so cute. So is Zayns, but they sound completely different and here I was thinking; all British people sound the same. I need to get out more or get to England at that. Your cute, he said. I can't stop smiling at that, I hope I see him around more.
