Keep It In The Closet

A new day has begun

"HE WAS SO CHECKING YOU OUT!" Danielle yells happily as we walk out of class, and I squeal. "Really?! Do you think so?" I say happily, and Eleanor nods. "Oh you don't even know just how bad he was watching you, Leigh-Anne. He gave the full view when you were walking away. He stared at your butt for the longest." Pixie say and we all laugh. "I do have a good bum." I flatter myself as I smirk, and Jesy nods. "You've got one girl, and I bet you Zayn wants to feel all on it." Pixie teases dirtily, and I shake my head, laughing. "I bet you he wants to feel something else as well." Jesy winks, and I gasp, and everyone else starts saying 'ooh'. "Holy shit Jess, no!" I say as I look ahead, seeing Liam and Niall walking this way. "Oh don't look now girls but.." I say as I giggle, and they all giggle too. "Hey!" We all chime together, and they smile. "You've got the whole clique today! Surprising to not see Leigh-Anne with Perrie and Jade though." Liam says as he smiles softly, and Danielle smiles warmly. "We went the back way since she's avoiding Perrie." She blurts, and I nod, wondering what the hell was wrong with her. That's when Harry walks up, the curly headed one. 

"The whole gang's here!" He smiles, and I nod. "Yes we are! Nice to see you again, Harry Styles." "I'm still single." "I bet you are, Styles." I tease, and Danielle speaks up. "Looks like he likes you, Leigh-Anne. You're single too, maybe you should date him." She teases, and I laugh, rolling my eyes. "You all were just trying to get me to date Zayn!" I whine, and Eleanor shrugs. "Hey, woah. We just wanted you to know that he likes you..not date him..but you should." She whispers, and Liam speaks up. "Wait, Zayn Malik likes you?" I nod, and Niall, Liam, and Harry look at each other. "Leigh-Anne. You've got the quietest boy running after you, and you're not buying into it?" "Well I think it's a good thing boys." Louis' Doncaster accent says from behind me, and I smile. "Louis! I haven't seen you, what's up?" I ask as I hug him, and he smiles. "I've been a bit busy, excuse me for that one please. But I hear you've been keeping the drama well and alive. Messing with Nathan Sykes and dating Liam Payne now are you?" He says as he raises a eyebrow, and Harry nudges Liam in the side. 

"No, it was a joke, we're not a thing. But- yes, I did pick a fight with Nathan. I couldn't help it though, he's a douche." I mumble, and he nods. "I can agree with that. Well then, what's this about you and Zayn now?" He asks, and Eleanor speaks up. "Zayn's so got it bad for Leigh-Anne." they all nod, and Jesy flips her hair, speaking in a Kardashian accent. "Yeah, he was even looking at her bum when she walked away, he was smiling a lot, he watcher her when she wasn't looking. They're into each other." "Hey!" "We saw you watching him, Leigh, You even flirted, we're not blind and deaf." Pixie says with a roll of her eyes, sighing. "Okay, so maybe I playfully flirted. So what?" I ask as I look over at the boys, and they all start laughing. 

"Babe, you don't seem to understand... you shouldn't date anyone at the school, let alone anyone we know about."  Jesy warns, and Niall nods. "Yeah, Jesy's right. You should date someone that we don't know anything about, it's probably safer for you." I take a deep breath, sighing. "What does that mean, 'safer?' Is everyone you know dangerous?" I ask as I scoff, and they all nod. "Uh, yeah. We're even dangerous to be around." Liam speaks up, and I laugh...and then stop. "Uh..what?" I ask, and they all shrug it off. "Don't worry about it, don't worry about it." Jesy says quickly, and then we get to the lunch doors. "Manic Perrie, or secretive friends?" I ask as I sigh. "Secretive friends!" Pixie cheers, and drags me through the doors. I look down as they all start talking about something, sitting me at a table. 

"Okay so tell me about you and Malik, first of all." Louis says as he sits, and I sigh, crossing my legs. "Well, Louis, everyone seems pretty sure that Zayn likes me all because he looked at my ass." Danielle raised a finger, sighing. "Uh, and, staring at you. And you two do talk a lot, and you two are always joking and laughing." She says as she smiles, and Liam coos. "Aw Leigh-Anne! You like Zayn and he likes you, yet you still deny?" He asks, pulling out his lunch. "Yes, Liam's right. You know what, I think maybe you should give him a chance because as I remember it, Zayn's the good guy. He just...walked in on the wrong thing." Harry sighs, and Louis snaps his eyes to him. "Maybe he shouldn't have walked in at all." He responds quietly, and then Danielle speaks up. "Or maybe you shouldn't have been doing it at all." She hisses slightly, and Pixie snorts. "Or maybe you should have minded your own business ." She says back a bit sassily, and Jesy snorts. "Well excuse him for walking in once he heard someone screaming, Pixie." she retorts, and I speak up, breaking the vicious, scary cycle of words. 

"What are you talking about?!" I ask as I look around, and then I hear a different, light voice speaks up. "I don't think it's about what you think is right, it's about what's really right. Zayn, and the others...and I was right. All of you...and missing party, are wrong. Simple. We've gotten passed it, can we please forget it?" I turn around and see Jade, her arms folding across her chest. "Jade's right...it was wrong. Can we please just..move past it? It was terrible, but we said we'd wouldn't tell. So we won't." Jesy says as she sighs, closing her eyes. "Alright, alright. Can we just...eat lunch?" Liam asks, and I nod. "Please! You all refuse to tell me what the hell is going on with this stupid school, so at least don't talk about your dark secrets or whatever because honestly everyone here is really starting to freak me out. It's like you'd murdered someone or something!" I exclaim as I look down at my lunch, and they all start denying. 

"OH look there's Zayn! Why don't we invite him to sit with us!" Pixie breaks in, and I blink. "Uh wha-" "Jade, why don't you join in too! Someone invite Zayn in." Niall says nicely, and I look over at Jade, who shrugs. She slowly walks over and sits down next to me, looking behind her. "Perrie's not here so I might as well." She says, before she sighs. "You gonna invite Zayn?" "Uh..." "I will if you don't." She says as she stands, and I groan. "Alright!" I say as I stand up, and go to him, sighing. "Hey, Zayn, I wanted to ask you a question quickly." He stops and turns to me, raising his eyebrows. I look behind me to the table of people I was sitting with, who were pushing me to ask. 

"What the hell is this?" Perrie says suddenly from behind me, and I gasp, and the table starts looking worried. 

Holy shit.
