Zayn's pov
In the morning, just before aurora arrived, we were daring each other stupid stuff. It was my turn now and I prepared myself for it. Tyler, one of my best friends, said " Right Malik, I dare you to ask a girl out," That seemed easy enough, after all I have done it many times "Ok" I reply He then quickly proceeds "But we will decide who it is" I hesitated before accepting. Just then Aurora arrived and we had our little quarrel . After she told me, I said she was smarter than myself, I just mumbled" Huh, that's what you think," I couldn't think of anything else to say back to her after all she is right, she is smarter than me in EVERY subject, I can't even think of a subject that I am better than her. She is fantastic at maths, English and has a super talent in science. I am the second best after her. However in P.E athletics, I run the same speed as her and whenever in competitions we always win join first.
Aurora noticed I was defeated and smiled. She then left happily, leaving me and my friends to carry on our conversation. Tyler had a huge smirk on his face, oh how I wish I could wipe it off! "What?" I questioned him. "Oh you have to ask Aurora out!"
OHHH! NO!!!!
"NO!" I bellowed. " Dude, you have to, you can't say no to this dare as you accepted it," he said the smirk still plastered on his face. By this time, my hands were in shape of fists. I was furious. I knew Aurora would say no and I will lose the dare, for the first time. Plus, I hated Aurora, and I would never dream asking her out.
"come on dude, you have to," the others start joining in. "Fine!" They all gave a cheer.
We headed down to our very first lesson, Maths, and my seat is next to Aurora. As I stepped inside Aurora was talking with her friends. I let out a groan. Tyler nudged me to ask her now. I sighed, should I ask her now? No I will wait till the end of the lesson to ask her so nothing awkward happens if I ask her now. I sit in my seat and take a breath before opening my book. I glance at Aurora and notice she has already done the questions on the board and is moving on the extension task. I stare at her for a while thinking of a plan on how to ask her out. All I know is that this will be hard. I stare at her a little bit longer when my phone buzzes in my pocket. I secretly pull my phone out and read the message Tyler has sent me. "More asking less staring" I immediately turn my head to him and give him a glare. He however was smiling. The lesson passes by so slowly! I was soon fed up and tried asking her in the middle of the lesson.
"Aurora" I whisper
"Shut up Zayn! We have to concentrate for the exam"
OMG! Does that girl think of anything but grades and exams.
"But listen," I whisper yell
"Mr Malik, do you have anything thing to say?" our teachers voice bellows from the front of the classroom. Great someone else is now joining our conversation
"Nothing sir, just nothing" I sigh.
"Well because you disrupted our very important revision class I have no choice but to give you detention" Oh, how I so wanted to strangle him, cut him into little pieces and feed it to dogs.
I look straight at Aurora. This is all her fault. If she had just listened. I an awkward silence falls between us and I don't try getting her attention again.
At lunch, I walk up to her whilst she is watching the performances. she looks so beautiful! WAIT! WHAT DID I JUST SAY? I quickly push this thought out of my head and ask her if I could talk to her.
She said "If you want to talk to me then say it here," OMG does she know nothing of talking in private.
I start telling her I want her to be my girlfriend( Part if the dare) and then she gives me a WHOLE lecture about not wanting to ever be my girlfriend. Who even said I wanted you to actually become one?
I am angry and hurt by the time she finishes and stares at me. She has no right to say that about me. She told me I break girls hearts, embarrass them and stuff. I have never had the intention on doing so. All I ever wanted was to find the right girl, and every time I hoped the girl I was going out with, was her I found out she wasn't and completely the opposite. I then lose interest in them and dump them but I have never had the intention of breaking their hearts or embarrassing them. I glare at her. I have never been loved before, not even by my parents because they were always on business tours. This made me get even more angry! I so wanted to scream at her but she knew nothing about me and it wasn't fair on her. She thought I am exactly what she said I am. Suddenly a boy and his friends come between us causing a barrier. Finally! My luck! I quickly pass through the crowd knowing Aurora can't see me. When I came out I walked to the back of the building where all my friends were waiting.
"What did she say?" Luke asked
""What do you think she said?". And with that I changed the conversation. Urg.. I will see her in 20 minutes from now! Urgh.. Why such a short amount of time?
