Love At First Hate

Chapter 35 ~ Surprise

*Zayn's POV*

It's like everywhere I walk there are posters already promoting prom and desperate people handing out flyers to vote. And each poster on the wall seems to talk to me and say her name but I ignore it.

I want to ask her out I really do, I'm just not sure. Like, we just made up and within some days I already want to transform her into my date.

Anyway, I doesn't really look like she's interested. Every time the boys bring up prom, (IN PURPOSE) she shakes it off and changes the topic. I wish I could just read her mind. Should I ask her out when I see her after class? Yeah I can do this! Who am I kidding no I can't.

Ahh shut up Zayn, it's in a week... but you still have to get a tux.... but I don't know if I'm going.... why am I talking to myself.

"Oh hi Zayn!" Shit.

*Laurens POV*

I WANT HIM TO ASK ME OUT LIKE SO BAD BUT ITS WRONG FOR A GIRL TO ASK A GUY OUT TO PROM RIGHT? Just calm down, and maybe he'll tell you. I looked up and saw Zayn.

School ended so why not talk to him... maybe he'll ask me out am I right? No I'm not. Well let's see.

"Oh- uh hey Lauren,"he pressed his lips into a thin line and smiled at me. "Hey, why so worried?"

"I am not worried, I'm just in thought." Wait a second we're just friends, friends don't go as a date to dances. Well there are some exceptions. "So, where are your friends?" He asked after an eternity of silence.

"They left home, I was waiting for my mom to pick me up but apparently she's busy so I'm going home walking actual-"

"I can take you home. I I Me-mean if you want to of course."

"Sure, you do remember where I live right?" This is just awkward like he blushed, I said it like we broke up about nineteen years ago. "Yeah." He said shyly.

"Cool... shall we?" I asked as I pointed my hand to the exit door that lead to the student parking lot. He chuckled and moved his hair away from his face. "We shall."

As soon as I got in his car, I was starting to get emotional but I shrugged it, I remember entering it and holding his hand and him telling me I love you. Awe! Okay Lauren chill.

"So where does your mum work?" Zayn questioned as he kept his brown eyes on the road. "A catering store, they're so good she likes to make these little nutella cupcakes for me and my brothers and oh my gosh her deserts are heaven." I laughed.

"Then how come I haven't tried one?"

"Because I don't like you." I teased, poking his arm. He smiled, and I turned to the window as the trees passed by. There was silence as he soon made it to my house.

Zayn stopped the car and I unbuckled my seat belt. "Is that your car?" I looked at my driveway and a navy blue car was parked.

"No, maybe mom brought someone." He nodded and I got out of the car. "Well Zaynie I wish you could come in and hang out but..." I drifted off. "Yeah I know, it's okay." Why did I call him Zaynie?!

"Well bye Zayn and thanks for the ride!" I waved and he did too. I put the key inside the lock and twisted the door knob open as he drove away before my parents could see the car.

I dropped my backpack next to moms plant and walked towards the kitchen where I heard voices and laughter. What's going on? Taylor passed by and I stopped her. "Who's here?" I asked.

"Your best friend." Taylor answered normally. I furrowed my eyebrows at that response. That voice doesn't sound like any of the girls'.

She walked away and I jogged to the kitchen. "HI Lauren, look who's here!" Dad smiled. I looked at the person who's back faced me and the moment she turned around I sware my world shifted and everything in my body would break down any moment.

"Hi Lauren." Selena winked and crossed her arms.

*Zayns POV*

Lauren went inside and I stayed there for a moment thinking. Then I pressed on the pedal as I realized I wasn't even supposed to be near Lauren according to her parents. Yes, I was confused right now.

The sound of her voice ecoes in my head,"because I don't like you." Did she mean it? What if she was playing around. And then she called me Zaynie do you realize this was the nickname she gave me? Haha. She actually remembered it, she hasn't forgotten about us!

"Whoohoo!" I yelled in the car with the biggest smile on my face. Wait, but she said she didn't like me. Girls are so confusing. I moved one hand from the steering wheel and glanced at the radio to put a better song.

The sound of someone yelling froze me and I pressed on the brake. Centimeters away was a girl my age, with a horrified expression.

"WHAT THE HELL! THIS IS A CROSSWALK, THERES A STOP SIGN." She yelled at me. Chills were all over my body at the thought of how stupid and dangerous I drove.

"Sorry." Was the only thing I could say.

"OH MY GOODNESS CLAIRE ARE YOU OKAY?" A lady older then her called, as she blinked a few times her eyes as wide as an owls, "yeah mom." The girl who's name was Claire responded.

"Watch where you're going. You're lucky my mom won't sue you, she'd do anything to protect me." Claire said.

"Well I'll be more careful Claire." She nodded and left to her terrified mother, I need to pay attention on the road! What's wrong with me!?
