CHAPTER NINE;;

The next day, Ethan, Harry and Rose wanted me to meet up with them at Gloria Jean's Coffees and explained to them what happened yesterday and why I agreed with Zayn to send me home.

I told them exactly what happened and what we both did and I told them a couple of times that it was just a harmless night but they did not believe me and wanted to know the dirty bits even though there aren't any.

"Nothing happened, I swear," I tell them again and played with my cup of coffee infront of me. "My aunt got out when we reached home. I think she heard the motorbike."

"Thank god," Ethan breathed out.

He was sitting across from me with Rose next to him while Harry next to me. I furrowed my eyebrows and wondered what he meant by that. Instead of questioning him, I kept quiet and took a sip of my coffee.

"Obviously," Rose rolled her eyes. "A motorbike is really loud. I still can't believe that nothing happened. I mean, Zayn's h--"

"He's a stalker." Harry scoffed, cutting her off as he leaned back in his seat.

"As I was saying," She glared at Harry but he didn't react. "He's a hot stalker,"

"Stop," I whined. "Can we not talk about him anymore? Please?"

"Whatever it is, he's still creepy." Ethan rolled his eyes. "He could be like, one of those psychotic killers. Luring girls in to his death trap."

"I think it's the way he dresses. All black. Dark, dangerous, mysterious, hard-edged. Sexy." Rose let out a dramatic sigh.

She looked up at the ceiling of the café, as if she was imagining about all the stuff she would do to him and after knowing her, I don't want to know what.

"Haven't you been listening to what I'm saying?" Ethan asks, annoyed at the fact that Rose kept thinking about Zayn in those ways.

"He's not good for you, Rose," Harry says softly and then he nudged me arm. "And you too, Mia. Stay away from him."

Stay away from him. The question is how? In every corner I turn, he is always somehow there and not to mention that I always see him in biology and he is also my partner.

Rose moaned, "Careful, you two. You'll only make me want him more."

"Well, you shouldn't," I warned her.

After what had happened at the amusement park yesterday, I don't think I want him anywhere near me or my friends but that's hard to do, obviously.

"Why? Because you like him?" She raised an eyebrow at me and I shook my head. "Come on, don't tell me you have never fantasized about kissing him?"

I stared at her with a look I hoped spoke appalled shock, "Have you?"

Instead of answering me, she just grinned. She only saw him once at the arcade and she's already fantasizing about these kinds of things with him, but honestly, I'm not surprised.

"Okay! Enough about him." Ethan says, attempting to change the subject. "Anyway, I'm enrolled at your school and I'm starting tomorrow."

"No way," Harry put up a hand to Ethan and his smile widens as he high fived Harry, "I hope we have classes together."

School came rolling in the next day and I was in PE class with Ethan. We were both sitting on the bleachers and he kept on asking questions about Rose and I answered them all while I tied my shoelaces.
