“Don’t go,” Zayn mumbles the boy was holding me by my waist and was mumbling against my neck, he and I had just gotten back to my place after hours of kisses, art, and more kisses. By the time I actually realized I needed things like food and water it was late enough that if I stayed out any longer I was more than sure my mom would be blowing up my phone and my picture would end up on the news. So Zayn and I picked up some food and I was sending myself back to my place even though I didn’t want too.

“I have to, we have school tomorrow. I’ll see you then,” I tell him as he starts placing kissing on my cheeks, turning me into a fit of giggles.

“Too far away,” he mumbles again “Don’t go,”

“I have too,”

Zayn hums and slowly lets me go turning me around so I can see his smile again “Do you want me to pick up for school tomorrow?”

I shake my head “Nope, that’s girl time with Camila and Lauren.”

Zayn’s smile drops “You must hate me,”

I laugh again “You’ll see me in class!” I walk back to him and place my hand on his chest “And maybe now you have an excuse to sit next to me in class instead of making me stare at the back of your head and your leather jacket,”

Zayn smile comes back full force “I thought I felt a pair of eyes on me,”

I punch his shoulder lightly “Shut up,”

“Baby… I like it don’t worry.” Zayn sighs and moves away from me “I guess I’ll let you go now,” he turns and moves back to his bike hopping on before turning back to me and giving me a smile before starting it up again before Zayn puts his helmet on I ran back over to him and pulled him in for a kiss, soft and sweet before pulling away again.

“I’ll see you tomorrow,” I tell him smiling again before finally turning away and heading back to my front door. I made sure to stay outside and make sure he drove away safely before coming inside. If my mom was home I was sure she would tell me I was ‘glowing’ because of good I felt and the affection Zayn was giving me was defiantly putting me on an emotional high. I had never been so excited about school and seeing a cute boy in a long time.

I was just walking to my room when my phone starting ringing. I perked up at the thought of it being Zayn even though it wasn’t I was still super excited.

“Dinah! How’s New York?”

“Oh Lord the Upper East Side is just as good as it was in Gossip Girl, we are seriously having so much fun. Me and Ally miss you though.”

“I miss you guys too! I have so much to tell you, is Ally with you? I’ll fill you both in.”

“Hey Normani!” I hear Ally’s soft voice “Sorry, we just got back to the hotel. So what’s going on?”

So I filled my two best friends in on Camila, Lauren, Harry, Niall, and of course I took my time talking about Zayn and how much I liked him. The way we’ve been spending time together and how we met. I could hear it in my own voice how happy I was, and much I liked the boy. I like sitting on my bed and gossiping with my best friends about a guy who could easily become my boyfriend. I told them how I liked the idea of spending time with him and going out with him and him showing me his world and hopefully me being able to have the opportunity to show him mine as well.

“Why does the name Zayn sound so familiar?” Ally asked in wonder

“Well he does go to our school; he’s into art maybe he was in a class with you?”

Ally doesn’t say anything back which means she’s probably thinking about it and Dinah starts talking again “Well he sounds awesome! Hopefully when we get back, we can meet him!”

“I would love that! I’m starting to regret letting you guys run off to New York without me,” I say with a pout.

“We miss you too,” both Dinah and Ally tell me.

Even though I miss my friends like crazy I’m still glad that they’re taking this trip they get to go out and see the world and take a look at life outside of our home town. Ally, Dinah, and I have been friends for years and all we ever talked about was getting away from here and moving away to a place like New York or Hollywood and make it big one way or another.

“I’m glad you guys are having fun,” I tell after they tell me about how they been exploring and going to Broadway plays and shopping at Chanel and other beautiful places.

“I’m glad you’re having a nice time too! I mean neither Dinah or myself have fallen in love with a new guy!”

“That’s because you’re both already in relationships,” I say with a soft laugh.

They laugh along with me and with that we say our goodbyes and I’m left with an odd feeling. I want to go out and live my life this summer but I couldn’t because of past mistakes and even though I’m having fun here and I have Zayn and Camila and Lauren now, I still feel empty. I’m not amounting to any of things I wanted to do this summer. I talk about my dreams and I know my dreams don’t work unless I do and still I’m stuck at home and I don’t know what to do. I was feeling restless, my best friends are doing amazing things and experiencing amazing things and I’m just… here.

Before I know it I’m getting up from bed, my phone against my ear making another phone call.

“Camz, come pick me up. I want us to do something extraordinary.”
