Love Is A Colour - Ziall Horlik AU

*Chapter Four*

Hey Guys! I'm on my summer holidays :) Yey! I don't really have any ideas for this chapter but hopefully I think of something good for you all.

This chapter is dedicated to @zialltops because she is literally the best writer on here, and I've read the louder than lions trilogy 6 times already.... so go and check out her works, I guarantee you will like what you see x

~*~Niall's POV~*~

"Niall comeon, you have to eat something, you haven't eaten since yesterday morning!"

"Mum I've already told you I'm not hungry, now leave me alone and let me get to school before I'm late." I argued with my Mum.

"Niall James Horan, you are not stepping one foot outside that door until you eat something." She pointed her finger at me disapprovingly. This is what usually happened most mornings, I refused to eat and she wouldn't let me leave until I did so. I didn't like eating, I was already fat enough, I didn't need to put on any more weight. I didn't eat dinner or supper because my parents weren't around at that time to force me to.

"Okay okay, I'll have an apple, now let me go." I said, picking up one of the bright green apples from the bowl. My mum looked at me disapprovingly but sighed and moved out of the way. I kissed her cheek and walked out the door, closing it and starting my walk to school. I liked to walk places, it gave me time to think about things, and lately the thing I had been thinking about most was the new boy, Zach, no Zayn, yeah I think that's his name. He had been staring at me an awful lot in school , and it kind of creeped me out. He had been hanging out with Liam, Harry and Louis since he first got to our school, I didn't mind them boys, they were some of the very few people at school who didn't bully me.

I looked down as I saw the school gates get nearer, lifting my hands from my sides and wrapping them around my middle, trting to be as small as I could, hoping that noone would see me.

No luck.

"Hey fag, looking awful ugly today aren't we?" Charlie, one of the jocks shouted at me, the group of cheerleaders around him giggling like mad.

"Oh Charlie you're so funny, look at the little fag, he's so disgusting." Amy, the head cheerleader giggled, brushing her hand along his chest.

From then on, I shut myself down, just like I did every morning when I arrived to school. More people pushed me into lockers and shouted things at me,  but I didn't pay any attention to them.

I finally payed attention to my surroundings when I walked into art class, the last class of the day, collecting a fresh page, paints and my brush and sitting down at my normal desk. The seat beside mine was free, nobody wanted to sit beside the fag. I picked up my brush and dipped it into some paint before touching it to my paper and getting lost in my painting.

I was disturbed by the seat beside mine being pulled out and someone sitting next to me.

"Uh....Hi."

~*~Zayn's POV~*~

I pushed open the door of the art room and walked in, going over to the shelves and picking up paints and paper before walking over to my desk. I looked up and was suprised to see some girl sitting in my normal  seat , talking to the girl I normally sit beside. I sighed and turned around, looking for a free seat. A curse left my lips as I saw that the only free seat was next to Niall. 

I guess I'd be talking to him a lot sooner than I had planned. I walked over and pulled out the stool, plomkimg down on it and dumping my things on the desk.

"Uh....Hi." I said nervously. Niall's head snapped up instantly, wide blue eyes stared up at me, his body seemed to tense and heshrunk into himself.  After a few seconds of staring he turned away from me, getting back to his painting. This was going to be a very quiet class. I turned away from him and got started on mixing some colours before starting my painting.

"You're really good you know." I said after a few minutes, looking over at the blonde boy's painting, which was absolutely amazing already. He visibly stiffened before looking up at me.

"T-thanks.....so are y-you." He stuttered , still looking at me. His voice was literally the most mesmerising thing I'd ever heard, it was so soft and timid.

"Thanks." I smiled at him. His lips seemed to pull up the tiniest bit at the sides, before he seemed to realised what he was doing and quickly looked away. I smiled to myself, at least it's progress.

"What's with the smile Zayn?" Louis asked as I met with the boys outside Lou's car.

"Yeah, you're awfully cheery today." Harry chipped in.

"Uh, nothing, just glad school's finished for the day." I said. Harry and Louis seemed to buy it, but Liam just looked at me, clearly not believing a thing. I quickly looked away from him and over to the gates, where I saw Niall walking out, his head hung low and his hands wrapped around himself. I smiled just thinking about our encounter today, he had talked to me, I had talked to him.

"I'm gonna head home boys, talk to you tomorrow?" I said, turning to my three best friends.

"Yeah mate, talk to you then."

"See you later Zi."

"Bye Zayn."

I smiled before turning around and walking over to my car, chucking my bag in the passenger seat and driving out the gates, waving at the boys as I passed them.

Bleh, I actually enjoyed writing that. If you're lucky you might get another update out of me either tonight or tomorrow.

The song on the side is All The Others by The Coronas, they're an Irish band and they are absolutely amazing, give it a listen.
