-Zayn POV-

I looked at my timetable and Principle Drand replaced some subjects on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with drama. I hated acting, I just couldn’t bare to think of people watching. It was different to football cause I was good at that and it was team work.

I had literature first up but it was replaced with drama. I made my way to the drama room. As I walked through the doors everyones eyes were either confused of cringing. I kept walking and sat at the back.

“Ahh Mr Malik, great of you to join us. Better late then never, I always say” Ms Turner said laughing.

I just smiled.

-Lena POV-

He made his way to the back

*what the hell is he doing here* I thought watching him in the corner of my eyes.

“Ok students listen up, I know your school dance is in 5 weeks but guess what else is in 5 weeks? The school musical!” ms Turner started

“So the main duet for this musical "Love me" is Lena Jackson as Rosie Drew, an amazing singer who's socially liked and loved by everyone and Zayn Malik as James Peters, who is a new kid, finding it hard to fit in but falls in love with Rosie Drew”

“No!” I said standing up, hearing it echo as I turned around seeing zayn up from his seat as well.

“please sit down Mr Malik and Ms Jackson, this wasn’t my decision. in fact it was Principle Drand's”

Its ok Lena, just 5 weeks, you can do this!

Zayn POV

*what* I thought sinking back in my seat, staring at her, you can tell she was angry. Her name was still repeating in my head.

I cant even bare to look in her eyes without getting death stared at and now I have to act like im in love with her. This cant be happening. It has been soo long, too long.

DING DING DING

The bell rang, stopping more old memories crawling up my mind and I got up to get out of the room.

“not so fast there, Mr Malik” Ms Turner started.

I turn to look at her and Lena was standing beside her as well

“Here’s your script” she said, weaving a book.

I walk over and grab the book, glimpsing at lena who was reading it. Her glasses slowly falling down, she pushed them up and looked at me before looking down again.

“I know you two haven’t met each other, so I have requested the drama room during lunch time for you two to run some lines and get to know each other”

I shot my head up

*great just great*

“now off you two go, you got classes”

I sighed deeply putting the booklet in my bag.

-Lena POV-

lunch time came faster then usual and I was dreading it.

I pushed open to the drama room and there he was, in the back seat as usual reading the script.

I cleared my throat and he instantly looked up.

His face always annoyed me, betrayal seemed to be written all over it.

“Hi” he stuttered out.

“Lets just get this straight Zayn, this 5 weeks is going to be torture for me so”

I was stopped, as a bunch of girls came in. It was obviously a school dance representative cause that whole group were cheerleaders too.

“Here you go Zayn” Stacy, who is Chloe’s bestfriend handed him a box. Rolling her eyes at me.

*For sure that had Chloes name in it* I thought.

He left it on top of the piano as the girls left.

“lets just get this over and done with ok” I finally said.

“Im Zayn Malik” he said smiling, putting out a hand.

I rolled my eyes

“I know who you are, why you’re in the football team, dating the schools head cheerleader, gets good marks and is school vice captain”

I went quiet again as a boy stumbled in.

“oh hey guys, sorry just forgot my piano sheets”

he put his bad down on top of the piano, knocking down Zayn’s box, dropping his box while he was at it.

*Typical boys* I thought.

Zayn rushed over to the boy helping him cause he managed to drop everything.

-Zayn POV-

*man this boy was clumsy* I thought as I rushed over to help him.

“here’s the last of it” I said handing him all the papers off the floor.

“Thanks Zayn”

he left the classroom leaving me and Lena in an awkward silence.

“lets just run lines” she finally stated

"and its ex-girlfriend" i stated, beginning to read out my lines 

After 20minutes of running lines I had to leave for soccer practice.

“so sorry I have to go” I said running out the door.

Crap I forgot my box i thought running back to the drama room.

Lena was still in there and I saw a side of her that I have never seen before, even when we were young and close. She was singing while playing piano. I knew she played piano but i didnt know she could sing.

Her beautiful voice rang in my ear, as I opened the door more.

She was singing Adele’s song Turning tables

Her voice was so stunning, I closed my eyes as she started singing the last chorus, sending shivers down my spine. Wow she was amazing

I won't let you close enough to hurt me,

No, I won't ask you to just desert me

I can't give you the heart you think you gave me

It's time to say goodbye to turning tables

To turning tables

Turning tables, yeah

Turning, oh

She finished and without even thinking, I started clapping.

Her head shot up straight away and I stopped clapping.

“you have a beautiful voice Lena” I stated, making my way to get the box on top of the piano.

-Lena POV-

I looked down at the piano when he said that. mumbling a "Thank you"

"See you later Lena" he said smiling, grabbing the box.

I couldn’t help it, I started to cry as he left the room.

Oh god I miss him.
