AFRAID to CATCH FEELS

Chapter 8: The Surprise

I just stay silent in the whole ride while they're talking to each other, but I don't bother to listen to their convo.
So we stop in Zayn's house since the setting is on his house. As we get off from the car and went to knock on his door...
"oh hey guys, come in" zayn says with a smile.
We get inside his house and it's kinda big aka elegant as I look around the house.
"Oh it's mostly done already" me pointing to the balloons, foods, beautiful lightings on Zayn's dining.
"yeah we already start it earlier and Andy's gonna be here in an hour" he said.
"Okay so let's finish this now" Harold interrupts.
........
As we finish it in about 30 min with zayn's mom since she doesn't have work *and if I doesn't mention. she's a cool mom*
"Okay so I'm gonna be getting Andy because basically we're planning to just have a dinner but I'm gonna bring her here. Just wait here inside and be sure to turn off the light" zayn commands
"Okay, okay, go get her now" her mom said. We all laugh to the coolness of his mom.
I know I'm gonna go home late, so l just texted my mom that we're surprising Andy because it's her birthday.
I'm still not changing because after school I didn't bother them to take me home and wait for me in the house to change...
So we now turn off the lights
I know Hardin's keep glancing towards me but I'm not minding him, not even talking to him, I don't know I'm just trying to make boundaries between us?
and I feel nervous and SHY when we're having conversation so I'm not planning to be awkward with him.
As we're hiding.
*the sound of the doors squeaks
*and when we hear footsteps coming
........
Yeah of course we made our surprise to Andy she's even teary-eyed after it and I gave Andy a tight hug.

So we all just talk and eat the foods that Zayn moms prepares *which is so delicious* and it's now 8 pm and I have many assignments to do so...
As I said goodbye to them harold offeres to drivd me home so I just nod.

Now we're here in his car...
"is there something wrong Samantha?" he asks while he take a look at me and back to the road
"huh? No" I said and give him a smile
"Oh okay" he says
........ silence.......
As he stops in the front of our house
I get off from the car and looks towards him in his window
"bye. Thanks for the ride" I smile
"You're always welcome" he says with a wink.

As I get inside l saw mom's watching a movie...
"hey mom" I says as I kiss her on her cheeks.
"So how's the surprise party?" she asks
and yeah I tell her everything then went upstairs to change. As I falls to the bed, staring at the ceiling I fall asleep

_I'm busy the following days because of the project that lm working with that why after the surprise party I never hang out with them again...
