I walked slowly out of school, looking around for my step dads car. Not here. Again. I groaned an started walking, hoping I wouldn't r noticed by popular group 3. " Valerie, we're going to get started on the project, right? " asked Zayn, who was standing with Niall. I nodded, " Yeah. Come to my house in half an hour. I have to walk... " I said, starting to walk again. " Why don't we just go to my house? " he asked. " O-Okay... " I studdered. Zayn had a reputation of getting girls in a matter of minutes, then just dumping them. I followed behind him, and his group. That's when I finally noticed all of them. Liam, Niall, Zayn, Louis, and Harry. " So, Blondie. What are you doing this weekend? " asked Liam, standing beside me. My face burned, and I shrugged. " She's going to be doing the project with me," Zayn growled at Liam. Liam held his hands up in surrender. " And, she has a name. It's Valerie. " added Niall. " When did you get so soft, Niall? " asked Louis, glaring at me. I felt awkward. " I.... Will just run.. " I said softly. I started speed walking, untill I felt a firm grip on my shoulder. " No. Come to my house.. " Zayn said, finally lowering his hand from my shoulder. I had no choice, because someone picked me up, and started walking towards Zayns car. " Ello Love, I'm the only sane one in this group, " Harry said smiling cheekily at me. " Uh... Mind putting me down? I have a skirt on.... " I trailed off. He smirked, and set me down. " Valerie. Hurry up, " barked Zayn, getting in his car. I jumped, and got in his car, nervously. " Call me later, Zayn! " Liam yelled, winking as he walked to his car.

We arrived at Zayns house, and I followed behind him, awkwardly. " Mum! I'm home! " he yelled, kicking off his shoes. " In the kitchen, love! " Zayn looke at me, and said, " Don't stand there like an idiot. " and walked into the kitchen. Of course. Because, I still remember how the house looks. I kicked off my shoes, and followed behind him. " Oh, Zayn. Who is this? " His mother looked surprised, as she pulled out plates. " Mum, I'm doing a science project with.. Valerie... " He patted my shoulder, looking awkward. " Wait- Valerie.. Jules?! " I nodded, blushing. " Oh my gosh! " Mrs. Malik hugged me tightly. " Goodness. You're so grown up. Haven't seen you since Zayns Summer pool party... You two were partners in crime.. " she dabbed her watery eyes, with her shirt. " He said you moved away.. " I shook my head, glaring at Zayn. " Well.. Mum, we really have to do the project.. " She nodded, and smacked his bum. He laughed, and walked upstairs, with me following behind. " Why'd to tell herbI moved away? " I snapped, walking into his bedroom. He shrugged, and pulled off his varsity jacket, sitting on his bed. I sighed, and sat next to him. " Computer? " I raised my eye brow. He nodded, and pulled out a green laptop, with a picture of him and I taped on it.
