The Substitute Teacher (Zarry)

Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Snitch

*Tuesday*

"Oh come on! You stupid little shit." I said yelling at my video game. I just came home from school an hour ago and decided to play video games after finishing up my homework.

"You suck." Liam said shutting the front door.

I glanced at him for a second before returning my attention to my game.

"And you swallow." I yelled as I died yet again.

"This game sucks." I frowned.

"No bro, you do." Liam said laughing and sitting next to me on the couch.

"So what have you been you to?" He asked placing his feet on the coffee table.

"Nothing, my life is boring." Which for the most part is true.

"Well, your birthday is coming up soon. Aren't you excited?" Wow, I totally forgot.

"I guess so." I mumbled.

Liam's eyes widen. "You guess so? You're turning 18, Zayn. You'll finally be a legal adult."

I scratched my stubble. "The only things I can do at 18 is the boring legal stuff, not the fun stuff."

"Since we're on the subject of doing legal things, how was your Friday last week?" Liam asked crossing his arms.

Elliot didn't....no he wouldn't!

Or maybe he did?

I need to play it cool.

"It was fun, I went to go audition for a talent show with Louis and Niall." I replied.

I had a chat on the phone with Louis over the weekend and he explained everything that I did Friday night. Let's just say, I wouldn't be drinking for a long time...sorta.

"That's cool. When are you going to find out if you made the cut or not?" Liam asked.

Hmm. "I believe tomorrow or Thursday."

Liam nodded. "So breaking into cars, huh?"

"What about it?" I asked looking everywhere but Liam.

"Zayn, do I have to worry about your behavior now? I thought you were the mature one outta your crazy siblings?" Speaking of them, I need to call them soon. It's been weeks.

"I still am mature. But I'm also only 17, can I be allowed to make a mistake without you breathing down my back?"

Liam frowned. "Hey, I'm not the one pressing anything. All I'm doing is worrying about your safety. I mean, you couldn't even remember doing any of it. Drinking should be the last thing you do."

"I hear you, dad, you done now?" Liam rolled his eyes.

"Yup, But Elliot is coming here to pick us up in half an hour." He said turning the tv off.

Elliot is also a snitch. I should've known he would tell Liam.

I stared at him. "Why? Where are we going?" I questioned.

"The gym." Liam said smirking.

Are you kidding me? "Uhh why?"

"You're becoming a man, you gotta start working out like one."

I like how I look though. I have nothing against working out or men who do, but I don't want huge arms like Liam. "I'm comfortable the way I am."

Liam laughed. "Zayn, you almost fell over when I slightly pushed you a while ago. You need more muscle bro."
