New Boy || [ Harry Styles au ] ✔️

05

I woke up this morning, happier than ever. Just smiling the whole while. See, going to school wasn't ever a good thing for me. I couldn't wake up in the morning, then proceed to make myself look humane and not fall asleep on the ride there.

But this morning was completely different. I woke up with a smile on my face, brushed my teeth and did my business all while sporting that very smile (it was very hard while brushing my teeth though). I even put effort into my clothes. I wore a dark green top on with some skinny jeans and brushed my long dark hair until it was past my shoulders in its usual straight form.

I did all that with just a thought of one person in my mind.

Going down the stairs, I bid my mom and dad goodbye and followed Zayn out of the house. I tightened the bag strap over my shoulder and held it there.

"What have you been up to?" I questioned him since he hadn't really been around recently. As soon as he pulled the car out of the driveway, I noticed a small smile on his face. "Doing shīt." He casually replied.

I'm not buying that.

"What shīt?" I raised a brow, leaning back into my seat. "None of your business Z." He replied in a teasing tone. "You involve yourself in all of my business, Z."

"I'm your older brother. I have the right." He smirked. "By an hour, you dimwit!" I shot back.

"If you so say Zara."

Walking alongside Noah, I kept looking left and right. Constantly wandering my eyes. Searching for a curly brown headed boy.

"Jesus, Zara. You look like the girl from the exorcist. Stop moving your head so much!" Noah scolded, her eyes pulling up into a frown.

"Sorry." I mumbled, slouching down into the cafeteria seat. Four classes had already passed and there was no sign of Harry. I didn't know why I was missing him so much. Maybe because I had become too dependent on him?

Rolling her eyes, Noah sighed. "I gotta go now, see ya later." My eyes widened in alarm. "What? Where are you going? He left me and now you are too."

"Your mood swings are out of control as usual. Quit being so dramatic Zar." Noah rolled her eyes. "I have to go to a meeting discussing the new enrolments. Remember? I was telling you that we have more people coming in this month."

"Yeah, sure." I muttered unsurely. "You weren't listening, were you?" She narrowed her eyes. "Well, they'll be coming in tomorrow. Around like 6 students. 2 freshmen, 1 sophomore, 1 junior and 2 seniors." Her eyes scanned the list as she nodded her head in confirmation.

Our conversation was cut short when Louis came in running to our table. He was panting, completely out of breath as he leaned down with his hands on his knees. "You...guys...won't...believe..."

"Spit it out Tomlinson." Noah was very impatient sometimes.

"Zayn...sister...Harry." My heart leaped as I heard the name and couldn't stop from asking, "Harry? Where is he? Is he here."

Louis, who finally seemed to catch his breath, plopped down on a chair and rolled his eyes at my rambling. "No I don't know where he is, but I just fūcking saw Zayn together with Harry's sister. And she's a freaking junior!"

"Aww Louis, don't worry he still loves you." Noah tsked shaking her head as I tried to process the information. He did talk about a sister. Harper...? I think that's what her name was. By the description he had given me, she seemed like a complete goody two shoes. Who would've thought Zayn would be interested in that.

I wouldn't go badgering him for information. Zayn didn't like it if he were forced to do something, and I sure as hell wasn't going to anger him. He's like the silent types—the ones who bottle everything up but when alone, become sort of aggressive due to their overwhelming emotions.

"Zara." Noah's call broke me out of my reverie. "I have to go now Z, sorry." She smiled apologetically and walked towards the meeting room.

"We only have like 3 more periods left, and two of them are free, let's get the hell out of here." Louis clapped walking away, not giving me enough time to run after him. I caught up, grabbing my bag and following him.

"Why don't we have hot girls in our school." Louis whined, resting his head on the cool marble table. We had left school in his car and driven out to this cosy little coffee shop down the road.

I found myself rolling my eyes. "Boys." I muttered, lifting my cup of coffee. Louis looked up smugly from the table. "You should be the last one saying shīt. You're on cloud nine thanks to some noodle head."

"Lou, as much as I love you," I paused for dramatic effect, "go fūck a horse." I sipped on my coffee until a sudden thought popped up.

"Remember Noah talking about some new students coming in?" I asked, putting my cup down, and resting my elbows on the table. He raised a brow. "Not really."

"Me neither. But anyways, you might get lucky with one of them. Like, set for life." I proposed the idea to him, hoping he'd take a break from moping about his single life and actually attempt at a proper relationship.

"Honey," he snorted as if I had just said the most ridiculous thing ever, "I don't do relationships, or love."
