Finally Good Enough (A Harry Styles Fan Fiction)

Part 21

***ANDREA'S POV***

"What a bitch." Michelle stated bitterly. She forcefully threw her spoon into her Ben and Jerry's and took another bite.

"Trust me, I know." I responded taking another bite of my ice cream as well. Michelle and I had turned to self pity as a coping mechanism for Mary leaving. I really think we had been trying to bottle it up for so long, and just decided to stop trying to be strong and let it out. When Gabi left we decided to watch .The Notebook and eat ice cream until we felt better and of course to bitch about her. It was one of the best plans I have heard all week. We slipped into our sweat pants and t-shirts and now were devouring ice cream.

"She doesn't even care about Mary! All she cares about is herself!" Michelle spat.

I just nodded as a response, and decided to let her rant.

"I haven't had time with Niall in 2 days! He is going on tour in a week and a half! Also we have school tomorrow and I have a chemistry test! Not to mention, our best friend is no where to be found and we have to figure out what to tell the school and her parents! I just never get a break!" She continued.

"Maybe we should just come clean. You know, tell the truth." I responded seriously.

"Hey, Mr. Dean, yeah just wanted to let you know we disobeyed your rules twice and went clubbing with some 19 year olds! Also, one of your students got kidnapped in the process and we can't find her!" She responded sarcastically. It was her defense mechanism. She always turned to sarcasm when she didn't know what to do.

"Michelle...seriously. We are out of ideas and that seems like the only option right now."

"I know...." She trailed off, "Just give it another day, and if we can't think of something then we will tell them...the truth."

"Deal." I responded.

"Tonight let's get some, and live while we're young!"

I bolted up and threw the covers off us at the sound of my cell phone ringing. It was in our bedroom so I ran in and quickly answered it.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey, Andre'a it is Zayn." I heard the familiar voice of my boyfriend boom through the phone.

"TELL ZAYN I SAID HI!" Michelle screamed from the living room. How did she know..?

"Hey Zaynie, I miss you!" I told him. I heard him chuckle a bit and I blushed.

"Missed you too, babe! Listen I was think since everything that happened we haven't been out in a while so I wanted to ask if we could go on a date tonight? You know escape all the stress that has been going on lately." He said. I heard a hint of nervousness in his voice and smiled. He was too cute.

"That sounds amazing! I could really use it right now." I replied happily. He always knew how to cheer me up.

"Great! Can I pick you up at 7? That gives you a couple hours." He replied, and I could here the smile in his voice.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"This restaurant my friend suggested. He said it was pretty formal so wear a dress or whatever you girls wear. You always look great though." He responded cheekily.

"Using flattery I see." I added appreciatively, "It is working."

He started to laugh, "It always does babe."

"Sure... Well I have to start getting ready so I'll see you at seven?"

"Wouldn't miss it for anything."
