We arrived at the tailgate, the car was parked down the street from the school because we already figured parking would be hard to do because everyone goes to the tailgate for some reason. Zendaya and her date already got out and started to walk to the school. This girl really forgot about me but oh my god...I'm alone...with Justin... "need help?" He asked holding his hand out to let me out of the car, I took hold of his hand and it was way bigger than mine...as I got out next thing I knew it we were holding hands. I know I'm being extra but I swear this moment had me squealing, in my mind of course! Justin and I walked towards the school we didn't really talk to each other but it wasn't awkward either... "aren't you a cheerleader?" Justin asked trying to start a conversation with me "Actually yeah I am" I said with smile "then why aren't you cheering tonight?" I giggled "Because it's senior night basically. And I'm a sophomore" Justin's face looked surprised "You're a sophomore?!" "Yeah.." i said hoping he wouldn't think different of me "I'm a junior, it's just that you look a lot older" he laughed and I couldn't help but laugh with him "I get that a lot" Justin was so sweet and gentle, i didn't even know Zayn existed at this point.
We finally made our way to the actual tailgate, the air smelled like barbecue and there was smoke everywhere . There was a large bonfire and there was Zendaya and her boyfriend. They were sitting with a bunch of seniors and of course there was Selena and Zayn. I really didn't want to go over there but Justin started leading us that way so there was no turning back. "Hey, Holland!" Said Justin as he sat next to Zendayas boyfriend.. I'm not sure if that was his first or last name but that's what we are calling him. There was no seats left next to Justin just a large space then a whole other row of chairs which was where Zayn and Selena were sitting.... I gulped and started to walk toward the empty chair next to Zayn until Justin took a hold of my hand and pulled me onto his lap. OKAY I have the right to act extra right now, I was sitting on Justin's lap!!!!! Selena looked in my direction and I avoided eye contact .... of course I felt bad but the girl broke my glasses freshman year. What was worse? "I'm thirsty" mumbled Justin, So was I to be honest. "I'll get the drinks" I said "No I'll get them" Said Justin trying to be a gentleman, but let me tell you! I am capable of getting two plastic cups full of punch! "No let me" I said as I quickly got up from his lap folding my arms, Justin laughed and looked up at me "fine" he said licking his lips, I'll admit that was kind of hot. I giggled and made my way to the tables where they had the cups and the punch bowl. "Hey" said a voice as I reached out for a cup, I turned to see who it was and it was Zayn!? Why is he talking to me?! He doesn't know me !? I gulped looking up at him and he gave me this awkward look "can you please step aside so I can get a cup" he said...... of course, I'm dumb! "Oh yeah I'm so sorry" I stepped aside and started filling up one of the cups I had "You look familiar" he said as he grabbed a cup "Aren't you that turtle neck crop top girl?" He asked with a laugh.... I didn't know if I should be flattered or not... is he making fun of me I thought.... "I remember tripping over you" he said with a soft laugh "yeah I'm so sorry about that I was so d-" Zayn then interrupted my sentence "I would have lost my temper like Justin but I didn't want to make your first day of school worse..." Zayn said pouring another cup of punch. What does he mean by lose his temper like Justin?.... "what about Justin?" I said grabbing my already filled cups. "You know...when you guys crashed into each other, he was on his skateboard" OKAY I WAS STEAMED that IDIOT WAS JUSTIN? "Well.. I'll see you later" said Zayn as he walked away with his punch. I can't believe THAT WAS JUSTIN! I walked all the way back to the bonfire where Justin was, I was so full of anger and humiliation I took the cup of punch and poured it on his head "I can't believe you!" I yelled as I threw the empty cup at him "What the fuck Ariana!?" Said Justin as he got up and let the punch drip off of him, sure enough EVERYONE was starring at us.... did I take this too far I thought.... "What the hell is wrong with you?!" Said Justin as he tried to shake off the punch, Zendaya quickly got up and put her hands on my shoulders trying to pull me away from Justin, "No, what the hell is wrong with you!?" I said flustered as ever. Justin clenched his fist meanwhile Zayn and holland quickly got up holding him back. Tears ran down my face and Zendaya pulled me in for a hug.
Zendaya then walked me to the restrooms and gave me a bottle of water. "What's Wrong Ari? What happened?" I didn't say anything all I could think about is why didn't Justin say anything about that...and why did Zayn bring that up?.....
