Secrets [Zarry]

Liar Liar

Zayn chose to sit in his usual spot when he got to class, not spotting Alex when he came in.

Almost all of him hoped she didn't show up to class, while a small part hoped she did only so he could get this over with.

Zayn took out what he needed for the class, spotting the banana Harry insisted he take with him and smiling some.

He flipped to the last page of his notes, sitting there and waiting for class to begin.

After it did start, and Alex still hadn't come in, Zayn started to feel a little strange.

He wanted to be relieved but he wasn't sure yet.

Of course, when he later looked up from his notes and noticed how much time had passed, he realized she wasn't coming.

Zayn felt more comfortable as the class went on, actually in a pretty decent mood by the time the class ended.

Not only did he takes notes, which wasn't exactly normal for him, he was able to pay attention comfortably.

It was strange, but nice.

Kind of like when Harry talked in his sleep.

Zayn left the class feeling sort of puzzled, spotting that his shoe was untied while he was walking.

He knelt down to tie it, spotting Liam approaching him as he stood back up.

"Hey." Zayn smiled, noticing the way Liam was walking. "You appear injured."

"Shut up. I'm here to warn you, my parents are visiting this weekend. They just called and told me." Liam said, not appearing to be happy about it.

There was a lot Zayn could've said, but he chose a question.

"Do they...I mean are you going to tell them about you and Louis?"

"No, definitely not. I figure I'll just tell them about all the good grades I've been getting and how well I've been doing on the team." Liam nodded.

Zayn stared at him, trying not to smile.

"I'm telling you this so you'll know to back me up as I lie to them." Liam clarified, chuckling some.

"Oh. Well...actually Harry and I are going away this weekend." Zayn said.

"Where is away?" Liam asked.

Zayn shrugged. "Nowhere special, just not here. Why?"

"Just curious." Liam smirked. "So while you're off on a romantic getaway I'll be dealing with my parents alone."

"Hey, they are your parents." Zayn pointed out. "Harry and I deserve a weekend away."

"We all do." Liam sighed, scratching his head.

"So do you...have some specific stuff planned for this weekend?" Liam asked, smiling as he gave Zayn a look.

"Not telling you." Zayn said quietly, a slight smile daring to appear.

"Hey um, have you seen Alex by any chance?" He couldn't help but ask.

"Alex? No. Why?" Liam frowned.

"She wasn't in class today." Zayn answered casually.

"Oh. Well why do you care? I thought you were pretty much done with her anyway." Liam said.

"She came over to the apartment one night when you weren't there and she was really drunk. She started talking to me and she told me she had feelings for me." Zayn told him after realizing he never told Liam about what happened.
