A 'Mean Girl's' Perspective: ZARA

Oh shit.

*India's POV*

I see Zara and my brother seem to be an item. Hm.

I mean.. I'm not jealous but after everything me and Zara have been through, how can she be friends with my brother and not me?! They don't even know each other like that. Am I not good enough to be friends with?

I don't even know why I want to be friends with her, I just do.

When I look at her I can't help but smile, and when she's slapping books out of people's hands I want to be the one who calms her down.

She should trust me. I'm trustworthy, aren't I?
I do love her.

*******

*Still India's POV*

The bell rings to signify lunch. I feel like being alone so I go straight to the 'make out spot' where Zara first remembered what happened.
The day she kissed me...

Not that I even remember it that well.
I just have a vague memory of her staring into my eyes before she pressed her soft lips against mine and I tasted her strawberry chapstick, no watermelon-

Like I said. I don't remember.

I sit down and eat the chicken sandwiches I'd made in the morning.
I do love my new friends but sometimes it's just nice to get away from everything.

As I'm eating, I hear footsteps approaching. I stay still trying to figure out if it's anyone I know. Zara maybe? The footsteps sound unfamiliar.

A tall boy emerges from around the corner. I know him. Well I don't know him. But I always see him.
With Zara.

... not that I'm watching her or anything...

I think he may be her boyfriend, I'm sure I've seen them kiss before.

He gives me a weird, awkward smile and I think 'aww cute' before I realise it's because I was staring at him.

'Sorry I-'

'You're India, aren't you?'

He knows my name?!

He sits next to me.

'Yes. And you're... David?'

'Dylan.'

'Oh. Forgive me, Dylan.'

His name sounds so much better when I say it.

'You're forgiven,' He says chuckling. 'And you're pretty, so I don't mind.'

I laugh and say 'thank you,' before Zara pops into my mind.

'You're Zara's boyfriend, aren't you?'

'No.'

'Oh. But I'm sure I've seen you guys kiss-'

'Yeah, everyone has.'

I sense a change in his mood.

'Sensitive topic?' I ask genuinely.

'Nah, we just kiss that's all.'

'Oh.' I say though I still don't understand.

There is a very awkward silence before he looks directly at me and says, 'I like to kiss beautiful girls.'

I smile thinking 'Zara is beautiful, isn't she?' Yes.

He doesn't stop staring at me. Damn, why does it look like he wants to kiss me? Should I kiss him?
Zara wouldn't be happy...

But then again, she would do the same thing if this was the other way around. Plus, he is the sexiest boy I've ever seen.

I meet his gaze and we both smile before leaning in to kiss...

I can feel the heat radiating off his face, right before our lips touch and-

'DYLAN?!'

Oh shit.

*Zara's POV*

The bell rings to signify lunch. I leave my biology class expecting to see Dylan waiting for me. When he's not there I assume he's gone to the staircase to wait for me. I am suddenly excited to see him so I walk quite fast pushing any and everyone in front of me until I get to the corridor.

As I begin to open the door I hear Dylan laughing and the voice of another girl. I can't make out what they're saying but I'm sure I hear my name-

Wait.

That voice. Is that... India?

It suddenly goes quiet so I begin tiptoeing towards the stairs. I finally see them clearly and yes. It's India.

But why are they leaning towards each other?
Getting closer and clo-

'DYLAN?!'

               *********

*India's POV*

Oh shit.

My hearts starts racing.

'Oh. Hey Zara.' Dylan says, seemingly unbothered. But his voice cracks a little.

I sit there mortified, waiting for Zara to say something else. Anything else. But she stands there silently and for a second I see-
Are those.. tears?
But he said- he said they weren't together, so why would she be upset?

The silence is killing me so I cough nervously and say 'he-hey Zara'

'Shut. The. Fuck. Up.' Zara finally meets my eyes and a single tear rolls down her face.

'What? Why?' I ask, suddenly angry. Who does she think she is? There's no way I'm letting her speak to me like that.

'Ok. Don't.' She says.

There is a moment of uncomfortable silence before the anger, sadness and whatever other emotions disappear from her face, and she is weirdly calm.

She thinks for a second.

'You guys should totally date,' she says smiling, but there's something so malicious about the way she says it. Like she's plotting to kill us or something.

I look at Dylan and he's studying her expressionless face just as much as I am.

Zara smirks at us before turning on her heel and leaving.

Me and Dylan look at each other instantly. Probably thinking the same thing. What is she planning?

I'm about to ask him when he grabs my face and kisses me.

I kiss him back because... what else am I supposed to do?
