It was recess and I was out of class so bloody late.
I was spurning full-speed to the football fields and when I got there, I went into the bathrooms
"Niall, sorry I'm-" I stopped "oh god"
He was in tears, sitting on a bench with tears falling like rain
"Where were you?" He whispered
"I got held back" I tried to explain "I- I didn't mean to-"
The end of recess bell rang and Niall started to sob
"Niall, why are you crying?"
"I thought you liked me" Niall whispered "but you're just like everybody else, Zayn"
"What?"
"I thought you were different" he whimpered
"I am different"
"Just leave me alone, okay?"
"No, what?" I asked "I want to keep seeing you I-"
"You don't need to lie to me, I get it" Niall said "you changed your mind. At least I didn't fuck you before you changed your mind"
"I haven't changed my mind at all, I told you, I got held back!" I tried
"You didn't even text me!"
"I thought about you the entire time!" I insisted "I couldn't wait to see you, okay? I haven't changed anything"
"Do you promise?"
"Yes"
"Pinky promise?"
"You're a,little old for-"
"I said, pinky promise?"
"Pinky promise"
My pinky curled round his and he wiped his eyes "I... God, I'm such a baby"
"That's fine" I whispered, pressing him against the lockers
"Is it?"
"Yeah"
"Why?"
"Because... Your my baby" I said nervously
He gave me a tiny smile "r-really?"
I nodded and he snivelled
"Come here..." I whispered
He stood in front of me and I dried his tears "how about we skip the period?"
Niall shook his head "I want to play footy"
"I can watch?" I offered
He nodded and kissed my lips as boys in soccer gear came barging into the lockerooms
"I'll see you outside" Niall smiled
"Okay" I nodded
I walked out the bathroom, ignoring the stupid snickers I got from the kids in Niall's class
"Going to class?" One of them asked
"Oh, fuck off" I snapped
"Excuse me?" He growled
"I said, fuck off"
I stepped closer and I ended up standing almost two inches above the stranger
"What, are you going to hit me?"
As he said that, everyone stared... Oh no.
"Well loverboy?" He asked "are you going to be a dork and leave, or fight me"
