Chapter 6 ;
"Wow, I see you got the rough end of the rope." I heard a voice next to me say. I turned to see none other than the famous Liam. His hair perfectly styled into a quiff and his bruises more visible then ever.
"I thought you werent talking to me?" I said fixing the strap from my backpack on my shoulder.
He shrugged his shoulders a bit. "I felt bad, I mean seeing you limp into school and all, I think we're even" He said chuckling. I think i took his response the wrong way because i was walking away angrily.
"Hey where you going?" He asked trying to catch up to me.
"To class." I said not even glancing back, that was till a hand caught my arm and i was being spun around.
"See you at lunch?" He asked a bit hopeful. I looked down at his hand around my arm. I tried to pull away but his grip tightened. "See you at lunch?" He repeated.
"See you at lunch." I said giving in. He smiled.
"See ya." He let go of my arm. "Try not to get into anymore much trouble, its only your second day here." I grinned all while shaking my head. I couldn't really be mad at him, after all he was sort of the first friend I made here in this awful place. Not to mention I think he was giving me another chance.
"See ya." I said before making my way to form. I sat next to the blond I knew as Niall.
"Hey." I said patting his knee. He looked at me weirdly and then down at my hand that was still on his knee.
"What are you doing?" I pulled my hand away slowly. I sighed saddly knowing what happened yesterday didnt mean anything anymore. I mean sure he saved my life and all but what did I expect for us to be the best of friends afterwards? I heard a small chuckle. "Im playing. Gosh do you take everything seriously?" I glared at him for a moment.
"No?" I said as if it were the most obvious thing.
"You sure about that?" He said batting his eyelashes and resting his chin on the palm of his hand. For moment I got caught up in starring at his lashes go up and down as he blinked rapidly, I shook my head and answered his question.
"Yeah, why wouldnt I be?" He shrugged and drifted his sight to the window -the outside world.

Lunch time arrived slowly. It would of have gone by much faster if we didnt have had to take so many tests to see what we remember from previous years. Which by the way im pretty sure i failed because what they were learning here is way different then what i was learning back in chicago.
Anyways I was starting to worry a bit seeing as how I was supposed to meet up with Liam but Niall was supposed to sit with me as well. And you see Liam and Niall arent a really good combo right now. "Zayn you made it." I looked up from my untouched food. It was liam, he had tooken a seat infront of me. A big smile plastered across his face.
"Zayn!" I felt arms wrap around my shoulders. You know I dont get it, just a few days ago we hated eachother and making eachother cry. Now its like none of that ever happened and as if weve been friends forever.
"Niall." I said a small smile making its way onto my lips. Liam looked between me and Niall and then scoffed.
"Wow. Who wouldve thought, two worst enemies friends." He stood up. "Have fun Zayn." With that he walked off. Niall shrugged and sat infront of me.
"Lets go somewhere tonight."
"Like?" He grabbed a fry from my tray.
"The movies?" He said excitedly all while taking another.
"Okay." He smiled then frowned. "What?"
"Youre not eating." He said as he noticed my hands placed by the tray but not even daring to touch what was on my plate.
"Im not hungry." I shrugged. Although I knew a part of me was but I had to get skinny, my father was always going on about how I was getting to chubby and blah blah blah.
"Well then im not either." He grabbed my tray and pushed it foward signifying he wasnt going to eat.
"Hey Zayn. Why you hanging with this loser?"
"Yeah and why didnt you come to the coffee shoppe yesterday?" I looked at Niall, almost hoping he'd save me from what im about to say.
"I dont know he just came and sat by me." I said looking down at my untouched food once more. The milk on my tray was being grabbed and I looked up to see Niall opening it. Then he poured it on me. Leaving my hair sticky and my clothes a bit soaked and stained.
"So I prevent you from killing yourself and this is how you treat me." He whispered in my ear.
I stood up angrily. "Oh so just because you did that you think youre some big hero? I DIDNT TELL YOU TO! Okay." My voice cracking at the end. I grabbed my tray and practically slammed the thing in the trashcan.
I ran out the school and made my way down to the traintracks. I sat in the middle with my knees brought to my chest, and i begun to rock back and forth.
~*~
Hours had gone by and not a single train had passed by. "I knew i'd find you here." I jumped a little but nonetheless looked up to see the irish man. "Trying to kill yourself?" He teased.
I ignored his question. "What are you doing here?" I said wiping away my dried tears.
He shrugged and sat down next to me. "I don't know, I just figured you'd need some company."
"Yeah well you figured wrong, so you can go now." I looked into the distance not daring to take a look a Niall.
"So you don't want me to sit here next you?" He said with a bit of a sarcastic tone.
"No." I said stubbornly.
"You know. I dont know if you know this but i care." I looked down at my hands.
"Why?"
"Honestly?" I nodded. "I don't know."
"Its just..." i said a sob escaping my lips. "I dont want to be here. I dont want to be anywhere." He put an arm around me carefully. "Im not good for anything."
"Zayn I don't know what you've been through and I'm sorry I was such a douche to you but what I do know is that you are good at something."
"And what is that?" I said daring to look at him. Sniffing up the snot that tried to make its was down.
"Actually I don't know yet, but we'll figure that out soon. And I'm sure you'll be damn great at it too." I burried my face into his chest and just let the tears go.
After about ten minutes of nonstop crying he whispered, "We should get going. s'getting dark besides I think you owe me, I believe I asked you to watch a movie with me and you accepted." He stood up and helped me up. "And since it's our first movie night you choose the movie." I smiled then frowned.
"Niall I'm sorry."
"For what?" He said acting oblivious.
"For saying all those things."
"Don't worry about it, mate." I smiled as we walked back home. His arm around my shoulder and mine around his waist. It was going to be okay, well at least I hoped it was going to be okay from now on. "Since I think youre not really in the mood for going out we can just watch a movie on netflix or something. So what do you wanna watch."
"Grease." I replied without hesitation.
