Hidden

Chapter 3 - First Talk

Chapter 3 - First Talk

I eventually found myself in the locker room. It was the only empty room i could find. I sat on one of the benches and...stare at the lockers.

It was so much pressure in there, with the whole school staring at me. friends, classmates, strangers, seniors, even the lunch lady was staring! i bet there's some teachers staring too but stay hidden...and i was there, staring into those beautiful eyes with mouth gape open with an idiotic-confused look. Plus, i stammered. I just made a total shame out of myself.

And Finn! The way he react was so annoying. He avoided my gaze and even told them to go. I don't mean i want him to be there but, if he's that in love with me why don't he do something? I know it's because he was embarrassed blabla, but this would not happen if he did not tweet that! he's brave enough to wrote that stupid tweet but what did he do in front of me? nothing. He only wants attention, believe me. A coward. He takes no responsibility of his actions. And now i'm supposed to be okay with it. Hell no, he just embarrassed me in front of the whole school! Though i did enjoyed it...a little.

"Ugh, I hate him!" I yelled, practically kicking the lockers.

"Hate who?"

I began still. It was a male voice. I turned abruptly and found myself facing a shirtless Zayn Malik.

...

...

WHAT!?

I was breathless the moment i saw him. My lungs felt dry and i could hear my own heart beating. I'm actually facing Zayn. ZAYN! and he's only wearing his jeans! He was gorgeously hot. His abs are making me drool and there's a tattoo just below his neckline and one near his v-line which makes him so damn sexy. His hair was dripping wet and there's a scent of shampoo from him, which explain a recent shower. Wait, why did he took a shower in the girls locker room..? or am i....

"Am i in the boys locker room...?"

He smiled at me and point to the entrance. it says Boys Locker Room. Well done Eve! you just embarrassed yourself even more. And this time, in front of your crush!

"I believe you are." He said. The corner of his mouth moved up, revealing a hint of smirk. I could feel myself flushed.

I stammered. "I-i-i'm very sorry! I thought this was the girls locker room...i didn't know you were in here either, i thought there's nobody in here--" I looked at him and his smirk widen. It was as if i amused him. "I'm not a pervert! i swear i'm not--I'm not into guys who have bodies like you."

What. Did. I. Just. Said.

"NO! That's not what i meant! Your body's hot. I want to have a body like you." His eyes widen at my words and i realized i just said something stupid again. "No no no! That's not what i meant either! i don't want a body like you--i'm a girl and to have that body of yours on me, it's just--"

My sentence was interrupted by his laugh. It was a relieved though, to not finish my sentence since i would say something wrong again. "Okay, okay i get it. You thought this was the girls locker room right?" He asked between his laugh. I nod, scared if i open my mouth again, something stupid will come out. "Well next time, you better want to double check the sign to the room you're going to." He laughed again. "Sorry, sorry--i didn't mean to laugh at you. It's just--you're so cute."

Did Zayn Malik just actually said i'm cute?

"Uhm..okay." and this is my respond to the hottest guy on planet after he said i'm cute. "I-i meant, uhm...thanks?"

He grinned. "Your welcome, babe."

And he just called me babe. Am i dreaming?

I stood up awkwardly as i gathered my things. I decided to leave the room since i'm scared if i embarrassed myself again. "So i--i better go." I nod at him and rush to the exit.

"Bye babe!" he said as i exit. Two times.

Did i just talked with my 6 month crush--Zayn Malik?

Zayn's POV

I was drying my hair when i heard her yelled. I was shocked, first, there's rarely anyone who comes in here at lunch, second, it was a female voice.

I followed the sound and there she is, practically kicking the lockers. I knew the moment i saw her dark brown hair, she's the same girl that got hit with the ball on the first day of school. I felt sorry for her that time, mainly because she's a newbie, so i walk towards her and said sorry. Since then, i've known her as the-freshman-who-got-hit-with-a-ball-on-the-first-day-of-school girl.

She's beautiful with her thick eyebrows. Her hazel eyes seems to dazzled me.

It was so funny when she started talking. I could see that she just can't stop herself from talking because of the panic--maybe seing a shirtless guy was none of her thing. When i heard she wanted to have a body like me, it cracked me up. I laughed 'till my stomach hurts. Sorry, but it is funny. And the way she looks nervous is just too cute. She's an interesting and funny girl. Unfortunately i didn't get her name. Better keep her in mind.

After her leaving, i decided to find the boys. I planned on telling the boys about the girl someday, hoping maybe one of them would know her name. I went to the cafeteria and spotted the boys in the usual seat. I was surprised to see Finn there but he has been my mate for a long time.

"Zayn! Where have you been?" Liam asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Taking a shower." I took a sit beside Liam.

"You missed all the fun."

"Yeah! You should see Finn's face." Niall joined, looking as happy as ever.

I looked at Finn. He was eating his lunch with no heart. His shoulder slumped down and i could feel depression from him. "What's wrong Finn?"

"Asked them." Finn said without even taking a glance on me.

Louis cleared his throat. "Well Zayn, you must know the tweet that he tweeted last night." i nod and he continued, "Well, Harry showed us the girl, and turns out she's a junior," He looked at Harry with an appreciative nod. Harry reply it with a genuine smile.

"A junior? Wow, going for the fresh one ain't he." I said, giving Finn a grin. The boys laugh at my comment and Louis continued.

"We just brought Finn to talk to that girl face-to-face."

"And then?"

"The girl walked away."

"Seriously?" I moved and sit beside Finn. "Don't be sad bro, maybe she's just too...shy." i gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

He nods. "Thanks Zayn."

"Anytime. By the way, can i see this girl you're crushing on?"

The moment i said that, Finn rolled his eyes and the rest of the boys are grinning. Louis turned around to search for her in the crowdness, "Let me see..." He took a moment to search. He points somewhere in the corner indicating he found the girl. "Oh! there! i found her! just near the trashbin!"

I stand up with my knees and looked to the direction Louis pointed. I was speechless when i saw the girl.

It was her.
