You & I

Chapter 6

When Harry walks in the whole entire mood of the cafeteria changes. He gives Zayn a death stare and when Zayn sees I can tell he feels uncomfortable.

When Harry looks back at me his features soften and he sits down at a table with the boys he was hanging out with.

Why does he have to be so unreadable and mysterious?

"So that was awkward" Anna says.

"Yeah." I sigh and I continue to eat my lunch.

One Week Later

So this past week has been great. Harry hasn't been talking to me and I barely thought about Harry. All I thought about now was Zayn. We are taking things slow and we haven't kissed yet. I don't know why but I'm fine with it.

I've even been more focused on the things I have to do. Being Harry free and care free is amazing. Atleast I think it is.

Today is a pep rally and I really don't want to go but I have to. I find a seat in the back off the bleachers and sit.

When I see Harry walk in with a girl wrapped around his arm, my stomach churns. I try to focus on the empty gym but that doesn't work.

He sits and few sets away from me and gives me a sinister smirk then starts to talk to the girl he came in with. Trying to occupy myself I fix my hair bringing it from the back to the front.

The gym begins to fill up with people and my tense muscles relax when Zayn comes to sit next to me.

"Hey." He says.

"Hi." I say smiling.

I purposely tilt my head while talking to him so I can peer over to see Harry's reaction. He doesn't see me though.

"Aren't you supposed to be down there?" I ask him while pointing to the gym floor.

"No, not right now, you want me to leave that soon?" He jokes and I laugh loudly so Harry will notice. I seem to be drawing attention to myself, in a bad way.

He looks at me with a concerned look and this time, I'm the one that gives him a sinister grin.

"That was funny, and no I don't want you gone that soon." I smile.

"Ok." He says and he sits back. I do the same.

"Zayn, can I ask you a question?" I say.

"Yeah, of course." He says.

"Why haven't we kissed yet?" I say. When the words leave my mouth he looks at the entrance nervously.

"I-I- I don't know" He stutters still looking at the entrance.

I decide to look to and I see Anna. I catch her giving him a death stare but when she notices I'm looking she starts to smile like a she had just eaten sugary candy. Weird.

She walks over to us.

"Hi guys." She says sweetly.

"Hi..?" I say still dazed about what just happened.

Why was she looking at Zayn like that? Like she would kill him if he answered me.

"Hey." Zayn says cheerfully. I raise an eyebrow at both of them but I just shake it off.

I try to ignore what just happened.

"You guys ready for the pep rally?" She asks.

"Uh yeah sure." I say uneasily.

"Alright I'll be back. Be good now." She says with a smile but still eyeing Zayn.

"Ok." He says.

She walks off probably going to change into her cheer leading uniform. It's not shocking to me that Anna is a cheerleader. I mean she is loud and cheerful.

I wouldn't want to be a cheerleader. It's sexist. Just because I'm a girl, it doesn't mean I should dance around in tight uniforms just to cheer on a bunch of Neanderthals; I mean boys.

At the same time it does look fun but, it's not my thing.

"What was that about?" I ask raising my eyebrow at Zayn.

"I don't know." He chuckles. He look extremely uncomfortable.

"Zayn seriously, what's going on? Is it something bad?" I ask. I'm so confused. Are they keeping a secret from me or and I just over reacting?

"Nothing, I swear." He says.

"You sure?" I say.

"Yeah, don't worry about it." He smiles putting his hand under my chin. I smile back. Maybe he'll finally kiss me this time.

He leans in and my heart begins to race. The moment I've been waiting for. Just as we are face to face I hear a teacher scold us.

"No PDA." I hear the teacher say. Zayn pulls back and I do the same.

I swear under my breathe and he chuckles. I'm not surprised that happened. That's just my luck.

After school I don't see Anna or Zayn anywhere. I decide to go to the nearest pizza shop which is down the street from school. I walk over there and order a plain slice with a can of coke.

When I get my food I sit down at a table in front of the window. I slowly comsume my food at drink my coke. When I finish I get up to throw away my scraps and I bump into a girl. Her drink she had in her hand gets all over her dress.

"Oh I'm so sorry." I say fumbling with my things.

"Hey what the fuck is wrong with you?" A very built and buff guy standing behind her says poking my shoulder with a lot of force. I stumble backwards but I maintain my balance.

"I- I said I'm sorry. Here let me clean that up for you." I say grabbing some napkins from an empty table. Now everybody in the resteraunt is watching what's going on.

"Don't touch me!" She says between her teeth.

"You need to watch where the fuck you're going! Here you go." He says. Next thing I know he pours his drink over my head.

I am completely and utterly speechless. I'm frozen. I can't say or do anything. I'm standing here looking like an idiot with the sugary drink falling down my face and hair. Nobody here is saying or doing anything. I want to scream and cry but I decide to hold it in.

"Hey what the fuck do you think you're doing?!" An angry voice booms through the door. It's Harry. I can't believe I'm saying this but I couldn't be happier to see him right now.

"She spilled soda on my girlfriend. Don't talk to me like that, who do you think you are?" The boy says.

"Why the fuck did you touch her!?" Harry says now forceably pushing the boy.

The boy swings but Harry ducks. Uh oh, this can't be good. Harry's fist pounds against the guy's face then Harry gets pulled back.

"Hey! Hey! No fighting in my resteraunt!" The man behind the counter says.

"C'mon let's go Rose." Harry says and I follow him out of the resteraunt. I take one last glance in the resteraunt and I see the guy holding his bloody mouth.
