“So… how do we do something extraordinary, Normani?”

“I have no idea… I didn’t actually think this through.” I sigh and slap myself against Camila’s giant bed. I had gotten such a rush and a feeling of excitement but now trying to act on this emotion I have no idea how to do it. “Any ideas, Lauren?”

It was too late and we should all be sleeping but I still felt this undeniable urge to do something, to be something, Camila and Lauren had always been joined at the hip and both happened to be round.

“I just… I’m realizing that my best friends are running off and making stories about New York and shopping and Broadway… those are the moments that they will remember for the rest of their lives. And what am I doing? Sitting in summer school every day, I always said I wanted to do great things and I haven’t done any yet.”

The both Lauren and Camila nod in agreement.

“Don’t look down on your doings,” Lauren says softly “Think about it, you’ve met us you’ve met Zayn. You about to be able to finish high school…” Lauren sits up “I mean, can this existence be so terrible?”

I shake my head and sit up as well, taking both of Lauren’s hands. Lauren, Camila, and I have become fast friends in ways I have never expected and I don’t want her, or Camila to think I am devaluing our friendship. “It’s not, not at all… I just wonder if there is more to life than the life I’m living. And I wonder if I can make it out of here before… before I forget my dreams.”

“Normani, we may not have known you for long but I have a feeling you will never be the type…” Camila says touching my shoulder softly. “But you will never be the type to forget your dreams, but if you are worried of such silly things,” Camila giggles softly “My mom is with the city’s board, and she is having a state wide talent show. You can enter, there’s going to be a prize too… I can’t tell you what it is yet, Mama would kill me.”

I laughed and gave her a smile “You’re so sweet, Camila.”

“Can I ask what brought this on? This seems quite random,” Lauren asks me and I shrug.

“I’ve spent so much time with Zayn, and we spoke on so many things. What our plans were for after school and then I spoke with my friends who are so far away, living a dream I’ve always wanted… self-doubt is a horrible, pitiful feeling.” I say and both girls give smiles as if they know exactly what I speak of.

“Talent show…” I say softly and smile again “That I can work with.”

When Zayn enters the classroom Monday morning, his smile is soft and his sketch book in hand. I wave him over to where Camila, Lauren, and I were all sitting on our desks before class began.

“Hey,” Zayn says against my ear before kissing it softly, making me smile as his arms wrap around me.

“Hi,” I say back and I try to ignore my friends who were smiling at idiots because they had never seen Zayn show any type of physical affection around anyone but us. I could see the surprised in Lauren’s face and her blush, and I Camila’s wide smirk.

“Why don’t you introduce me to your friends?” Zayn says huskily, I can feel his breath on my skin and lips against my ear. I closed my eyes against the feeling and smiled, touching Zayn’s warm hands and light glazing my fingers against the sketch book.

“Because you already know them,” I giggled softly and Zayn pulled me over to the left, pulling me closer to him. “Camila, Lauren, this is Zayn. Zayn this is Camila and Lauren.”

Lauren waved and Camila smiled in her form as hello

“I’m Normani’s boyfriend,” Zayn says

My eyes widen at the same time of Camila’s and Lauren’s, we all exchanged looks of oh my god and what the fudge! Because even though I really liked Zayn I had only know him for a couple weeks and calling my boyfriend such a short period of time was a little bit more than scary.

But still, I could feel my smile getting bigger than my wide eyes and the rush of and the thought of Zayn being my boyfriend and actually having a tittle for me, made me smile; everything about Zayn made me smile.

“Well… if that’s what Normani wants,” Zayn says pulling away a little bit so he could look me in the eyes. He gave me a soft little smile and a look of endearment, inside his whiskey coloured eyes I could see something that made me fall a little bit more in the pool of Zayn I was sitting by, I was moving closer and closer to the edge and I could tell I was going to dive in soon.

I didn’t say anything to him; I just put my hand against his cheek and pulled his lips to mine. Zayn kissed me softly, following my movements as I turned my head and reached my body closer to his and let his warmth cover me like a blanket.

“Awwwwwwwww,” Lauren and Camila cooed and I smiled against Zayn’s mouth and he did the same before pulling away and turned back to my friends.

“Hey,” He says playfully “Private moment here”
