Tori's P.O.V

Ok so my bestfriend now has a boyfriend, which I thought wasn't possible, but anyways. I watch as Harper and Tyler leave Rob's to go to their "date". We all know where that will end.

"Guys, I have to go." Fred stands up, looking away from his phone.

"Where are you goin'?" Alex asks.

"I-I," He stutters, "Umm I actually met a girl. A girl, yes." He nods intensely.

"Ouhh, who's that?" I ask wiggling my eyebrows. Remember when he did that to me? Hah.

"You won't know her. She's not from school." He starts to nod again, as if he's having a hard time remembering.

"What's her name then?" Nathan asks.

"Hay-" He slams his hands over his mouth, earning questioning looks from us, "Hayy-deline."

"Haydeline?" I ask, "Okay..."

"I know, a weird name. It's real though." He looks anywhere but at us.

"Where'd you meet her? When can we meet her-" Alex starts to question his best friend.

"Woah-woah- stop with the investigation already." Fred does a weird motion with his hands, "I'll tell when I get back."

"Okay." Alex mumbles.

"See you later." I wave with the others.

"I gotta meet Jessica." Alex looks down at his watch, "Anyone want a ride? I can drop you off on my way to Jessica's"

"No, um... I'll walk home." Nat mumbles.

"Why?" I raise my eyebrows.

"Well.... nothing... uh, actually I'll come along." She gives me a weak smile, which looked fake.

We all stand up to leave.

"Wait, Nathan? I need to talk to you." Francy grabs Nathan's wrist and pulls him back, "You all can go ahead. We'll head home later."

"Oh, ok then." I give Nathan a questioning look, causing him to immediately look away.

What is up with everyone today?

Me, Alex, Natalie and Zayn walk outside and get into Alex's car. Alex sits in the driver's seat and Natalie hesitates but eventually takes the passenger seat. Me and Zayn climb into the back seat.

"Hey, so about that date? I'll pick you up, Friday night. Is that fine?" Zayn grins at me.

"Uh- I don't know-" I start to act like I have full schedule... which I don't.

"It's okay, we can do it whenever you want-" He assures me.

"I was joking. Of course it's fine. I look forward to seeing you, again." I laugh, making him laugh too.

"Alex, this is my stop." Zayn looks around.

"I can drop you in front of your house, man." Alex suggests.

"Nah, it's fine." Zayn pats Alex's shoulder, as a sign to make him stop.

"Ok, whatever you say dude, bye." Alex says as Zayn gets off of the car, I wave at him and Nat just passes him a smile.

Something is definitely up with Natalie. Not just Natalie, everyone. I have a feeling everyone's hiding something. I mean, I have my own secrets. Pretty sure they have some secrets to save for themselves as well, but this is not usual.
