[Past]

-Zayn POV-

“Zayn, Zayn look at this” she said to me.

“What is it Lena” I reply, looking up from the sand castle we were making.

“look” she says. I get up and walk over to her, she opens her hands and it was a baby turtle.

“Where did you find it?” I asked excitedly.

“near the water” she says jumping up and down.

“Zayn, Lena! Dinners ready”

“Quick hide it” I quickly replied.

“Coming mummy!” I yelled back

We both run towards the house and straight into my room.

“here, we can keep him in here with my fishies” I suggested putting the turtle in my fish tank.

“you can get him later” I said smiling.

“nahh you keep it” she replied smiling.

“awww really? Thanks Lena you’re the best’. I said hugging her.

“here, you can have this” I said giving her a starfish.

“thanks Zayn” she replied, staring at the fake starfish.

We both laughed.

“Friends forever Lena” I asked

“friends forever Zayn” she replied, hugging me.

-Lena POV-

“Zayn, you up?” I yelled, opening his door

“Go away” he grumbled back.

“GET UP, ZAYN MALIK!” I yelled again running to his bed, jumping on it.

“ok, lena! Im up, im up!” he replies, sitting up on his bed.

“good” I laughed.

“whats up anyway?” he asked stretching his arms.

“First day of highschool is today, dousche!” I replied. Looking at his facial expression drop.

“Shit, Lena! Its 8:09am” he almost yelled, running to his closest.

“Hey, not my fault you slept through your alarm! What did you want me to do? Come over your place at 7:30 and wake you up? not a chance!” I said laughing making my way down stairs.

We finally made it through primary schools and nothing broke our friendship, I thought, smiling at my cereal. Me and Zayn have been best friends for 6 years now. We live right next to each other which was convenient and had ladders up to our room, we would talk on the phone for ages, and we would watch my favorite movie every weekend. People used to think we were going out, but I definitely just want to be friends.

THUMP “OUCH”

I run towards the stairs and see Zayn at the end with his books all over the floor and his shirt half on.

I fell to the floor laughing.

BEEP BEEP

“Bus is here Zayn and Lena!”

“Save me a seat Zayn” I yell as I run to get my bag on the kitchen counter.

“Thanks for breakfast, Mrs. M”

“No worries, honey. Have a good day at school”

I hopped on the bus and saw Zayn at the very back, I walk over and sit next to him.

“you’re welcome by the way” I say, smiling at him

“For what?” he asked confused

“for waking you up”

“very funny Lena”

we both laughed. I reached for my bag and grabbed my glasses out to put them on.

“Haha nice glasses” Zayn stated, laughing.

“yeah, laugh it off.” I reply crossing my arms

“chills babes, it’s a joke” he said, putting an arm around my shoulder.

I elbow his rib and laughed while he whined in pain.

*this is going to be a good year*

[Present]

 Which is 5 years later.

As I remember those great memories of my childhood, the bad ones also come fading back in. During the 2nd semester Zayn started dating this girl name Chloe. She was pretty on the outside ONLY. I didn’t get what Zayn Saw in her but I didn’t care anyway, as a good bestfriend i accepted her.

They dated for a long time, which separated me and Zayn more and more. She picked on, she called me names, her group practically did this to me everyday and Zayn never believed it. She thought I had a crush on Zayn which made her hate me more. And what did he do about it? NOTHING! Mainly cause he was blinded by her makeup and fake tan.

There were no more, coming over to each other’s houses apart from the occasional family dinners we had but he was always not there, the ladders were cut off our rooms, there were no more late night chats, I watched my favourite movies by myself and more importantly I lost my bestfriend.

The last thing I ever said to him was: “Don’t you ever say I have changed, its you who decided to break up this friendship, you’re fault! So don’t you come running back. Have a good life!”

I cried for months, but I got over it. I learned to not give a shit anymore. To not care what people thought about me. He ditched me, he didn’t stick up for me when his girlfriend teased me, he didnt believe anything i said and I was like nothing to him anymore. Almost 7 years of friendship just lost. So i have been mostly on my own during highschool.

“Honey you ready? The bus is waiting” my mum yelled over my door. disrupting my trip to memory lane

I tied my last shoe lace, put on my glasses and brush those memories out of my head making my to the bus. It was the beginning of year 12 and I wasn’t going to let him ruin my day.

-Zayn POV-

I bolt for the bus, I cant believe I slept through my alarm on the first day of year 12.

BOOM

I fall to the ground.

“Geez watch where you’re going” she yelled in my face.

*this girl needs to calm down*

“im so sorry” I reply, giving her a hand

“whatever”

she got up herself and brushed passed me.  *she must be pms-ing* I thought.

I got on the bus, put my headphones in and dreaded the bus ride to school.
