Slow And Steady

Chapter:3

I walked in school with my brother Jason who dissapeared in less than a minute. The school bell ran shortly after some time and I made my way to Mr.Gatsberg's class. I sat on the second bench, while students were slowly making their way in.

I then saw Zayn coming in and for some reason I felt embarrased if I sounded a bit pushy last night. I acted like I didn't see him walk in the class and just paid attension to what Mr.Gatsberg was saying.

After the bell rang we had P.E and I went to change my clothes. I then went to the basket ball court and sat down as usual. Then I started thinking... I shouldn't be the one going after Zayn asking him about the project, he should be involved too, and ask me. Yep, no more asking, i'll do it on my own.

After a really boring P.E, a really noisy free study period, I made my way to Biology. I saw all the students sitting with their project partners so I looked around for Zayn, and saw him in the second last seat. Should I go sit next to him?

I walked towards his table but he had his bag on the empty chair.

" Move your bag.....please"  I said without thinking. He looked at me, and then around, and without looking back, moved his bag.

Mr.Mart walked in class and wished us a good morning before he took his note book out.

" So have you'll started your projects?" He then asked. There was a chorus of ' yes' and 'kind off' and a little' and all sorts of answers. Zayn and I didn't say anything.

" I want pictures, and good information and theory and it should be alive " Mr.Mart started rambling.

After Biology was over, I took my bag and was starting to walk out. I told myself it was useless to wait for him to talk first, so I just turned around quickly and made my way to Zayn.

" We can't do it in my place so if you can give me your address or something." I said softly

" uhh, yeah, hold on" He wrote down his address and gave it to me.

" When should I come?" I asked him. He replied with a simple nod " yeah that's cool today's all right" He said and walked off.

wow. He's such a distracted child. I don't know why it was so hard to get his address. I mean except the fact that its hard to talk to him. I never really talked to him or any of the jocks. So I was a little shy and felt a little weird, but that doesn't matter now.

I went to the cafeteria and spotted Anna and Bell. I went got my food and sat next to them until Mell made her way to us. We started talking about random stuff and how sad it was that we didn't have any classes together. Except for me and Mell, we had religion and Commerce together, which I was thankfull to.

Commerce was filled with boys since all of them had dropped Math. Mell and myself weren't that good at Math and didn't really understand it so we dropped it too and took up Commerce.

After reaching home, I ate, changed and headed towards Starbucks.

People kept sitting down and placing their order.

Then all of a sudden, I saw Liam Payne, come in. He goes to the same school as I do. He walks in with Danielle Peazer, his girl friend. They both were like the 'it couple'.

All of a suddden I felt nervous. I never wanted to come across anybody from school outdoors.

I sighed and went to their table. " Hi, welcome to Starbucks, what can I get you?" I asked casually.

" Two cold coffee's would be fine" He smiled. " Hey, your in our school right?" He continued.

" yeah, I am," I replied. There was then this awkward silence and I took it as a sign to go away.

I left got their order, and got back to other people. Before Liam and Danielle left, he waved at me and exited the door. I just smiled at him. Boy, was that nerve raking.

It was six and it was my que to leave. I went home and washed up. I had to go to Zayn's place now.

I changed my outfit, took my stuff and headed to the address that was written on the paper.

I then rang the bell and waited out nervously. He opened the door and looked surprised. He then recovered it and let me in.

" We'll do it in my room" He said as I followed him.

His house was pretty good to be honest. We went upto his room and he sat with his laptip on his lap. I didn't know what to do so pretended to look for something in my bag.

" you can look up for some information on my computer there if you want" He said breaking the silence.

" yeah, okay, ill do that" I replied.

After a while, I took all the information and pictures and printed it. I got it together and looked towards Zayn who was now on his phone, texting.

" um, I got some stuff out" I said

" Oh, alright, I tried looking for some information but I just couldn't find it" Zayn said finally looking up at me.

"Oh...." I said not knowing what else to say.

" we can continue tomorrow or something, i'm anyways a little busy now" He said while getting up.

" Okay, so um, should I give you my address or something? we'll continue at my place at 6?"

" Oh, alright, yeah, sure."

I gave him my address and left his place. Jesus, wa sthat awkward or what. I went home and opened my laptop just to see my facebook boosting up with Mell's messages telling me to call her. Boy, this had to be urgent.

I looked around for my phone, but couldn't find it, I went down, in my living room, but it wasn't there either. I called it a few times, but I couldn't hear it anyway.

" OH MY GOSH.' I must have left it in Zayn's place. Oh how could I be so careless. Should I message him? No, he'll bring it back tomorrow in school i'm sure.

I called Mell from my house phone and she just started squeeling.

" Oh gosh Mell, what happened?" I asked her

" Louis... Louis Tomlinson and I.... we met at bowling today, and when his friends went, and he was waiting for his car, we actually had a conversation! a long, long conversation! I mean, i've always been attracted to him, and all of a sudden, we have a huge long conversation! Bell and Anna were just there and they told me he looked interested in the topic so that's so good right!" She started rambling.

" hold on.... you'll went without me? why didn't you call me?" I asked her. Why didn't she?

" well, you went to do your project or whatever, but that doesn't matter, my all time crush and I had a long conversation!" She started jumping,  I could hear it.

" Aww, i'm so happy for you, but I don't want you getting your hopes up, you know, like, anything could happen.... but i'm still happy for you." I told her before we talked for about thirty minutes and hung up.

I closed my eyes and thought of the day, thought of how tomorrow would go... and just drifted off to sleep.
