Chapter 30- Start Of Something New

Lauren's POV.

After a long and awkward lunch it was time for my last period. I grabbed my books without saying goodbye to my friends. After the conversation of me and Zayn, well at least it was a conversation right? He asked me something, I answered. There was nothing else. I only listened to Lisa and Beth telling stories, and even Austin told us something about last year. About how he went with Tiffany to the prom and not someone he actually liked. He kind of used her and she used him, but it was all for a bet. So it wasn't much fun after all.

"I heard that he went home sick." I hear a girl say excited.

"Really? Oh my gosh! My prayers have been accepted then." A girl says.

"Look, his desk is empty. There is no old tea-cup on his desk." The first girl says more excited. I look up at the desk they are looking at and notice the desk of the teacher. The biggest desk in the classroom.

"Why didn't you wait for me at lunch?" Beth says sitting next to me.

"Uhh I forgot. I was thinking about something." I say. I am always thinking of something. It's not a lie.

"About what? What happened?" She asks concerned.

"I was hoping the teacher would be ill or sick. I am so tired. I stayed up late watching a movie." I tell her.

"You seriously have a bad obsession with movies and tv shows." She jokes.

"I know." I say, they never fail to distract me from my thoughts, I thought.

"I heard some girls talking about Henk being ill today." Beth says. Henk is our teacher and how un-respectful it may sound, he likes it when we call him Henk. He said that he feels younger when we do.

"I heard that too, I hope I can go home and just sleep." I say as I place my arms on my desk and lay my head gently between them. I could literally sleep right now, right here. Just because I don't want to be in school right now.

So yeah I might be jealous, maybe it was nothing. Nothing for me to be jealous of. But some part of me really is giving up the hope that Lisa and Beth built up in me. They convinced me that someone would ask me to prom, and not just someone. They said that Zayn totally would. Because of them I build up this feeling of love or this crush on Zayn. That's why I get jealous now. Because he was making her smile, while I was doubting his love for me.

The second school bell rang and everyone took a seat. Still no teacher. So we usually sit down for another five minutes and if then the teacher isn't in this classroom, we are allowed to leave.

"Lauren.'' Beth says in a low whisper as she pokes my shoulder.

''Bethany.'' I say trying to hide my irritation.

Most people know that whenever someone calls out my name, I call out theirs.

''Lisa has been keeping a secret from both of us. and I think I know what it is.'' she whispers as she comes closer to my table with her chair.

''What is it?'' I wonder. when your stuck in your own thoughts, you tend to pay a little less attention.

''Did you see Jake smirk at her and that she actually smirked back?''

''Yes, I did. it was like twenty minutes ago.'' I pointed out.

''Well, you couldn't see it from where you sat, but she blushed and after the smirk-contact they had the looked down at ground and played a little with her food. Because she was hiding her red cheeks.'' Beth sat across of her sister, next to Zayn. I sat across of Zayn and next to Lisa. Somehow I paid attention to this, but not to Lisa blushing. I have to quit being like this. I have to quit being jealous.
