:: Harry's POV ::

Melanie is really great. I can't believe I didn't ask her to hang out before. She was truly amazing. I walked her to school in the morning. "Thanks Harry!" She smiled. I gave her a hug. The butterflies in my stomach were going crazy. She made me nervous. But I only just got the courage to speak to her yesterday. "Have a great day today okay? I'll see you at lunch." I whisper in her ear and let go. She smiled at me and ran into the building. I saw Niall, and walked over to him. "How are you Niall?" I say, flipping my curls. Niall was my best friend. He was seriously great. Always had a smile on his face. "I'm fine" He said in a different voice. He was wearing make up. This was so unlike him. I didn't think he needed it. He looked fine to me. His hair was usually messy, which everyone thought was cool. Now his hair was perfectly styled. I saw girls whispering. They had looks on their faces. They wanted Niall. I flipped my hair again and the girls giggled. "They want you Niall!" I laughed. He just nodded. This was different. He seemed uninterested. He was staring out into the distance. No smile on his face or anything. He was wearing different clothes too. A tank top, skinny jeans, Supras and he had bands on his wrists. Normally, he'd just throw anything on. But I wasn't going to say anything. He looked great! I was still worried about him. Then I turn around and notice a new guy walk inside the gates.

:: Melanie's POV ::

I'm still standing outside. I came out of the building when Harry was distracted. I saw Niall. He looked... different. I looked over at the gate. A new boy walked in. I knew him. He was my best friend from my old school! "ZAYN!!!" I shouted and ran up to him. His face lit up when he saw me. I hugged him so hard, he fell over. "Everyone is staring at us Melanie. We better hop up now gorgeous." He whispered in my ear. It tickled. Liam and Louis came over. "Hey Lou! Hey Liam." I smile at them. "Hey babe!" Liam and Louis say at the same time. "This is Zayn!" You smile. "I'm Liam!" He sticks out his hand. "And I'm... LOUIS!" He sticks out his hand. Zayn laughs and shakes both of their hands. "I'll see you later!" Zayn smiles. The boys walk with him. I forgot to see Niall yesterday. I was with Harry at the park. Oh no. I felt so horrible. I looked over at him. He was already staring at me. He looked away. The bell rung, and I rushed to my first class

:: Niall's POV ::

She looked over at me. I felt embarrassed. She caught me staring at her. I didn't usually dress like this. I just felt more confident this way. I walked into class. Liam, Louis, Harry and Zayn were there. "Zayn! Haven't seen you in ages! How are you?" I say, smiling for the first time ever this morning. "Niall! I've been great. Sit here!" He points to a seat next to him. I met him through Melanie. He was one of my best friends. I can't believe he was back! I felt a little better. Until lunch time.

:: Melanie's POV :: 

Niall. That was all that I thought of, during all my classes. Of how selfish I was to not see him yesterday. I had to admit, he looked amazing today, but I really loved how he looked before. The little flaws were what I loved about him. I saw him sitting at the table. He had no food with him though. And he had his head in his hands. I rushed over to him, completely missing the trays of food. "Niall. I'm so sorry. I should of came to see you yesterday." I say, sitting infront of him. He turned around and we were facing each other.  The light of the sun was shining is his bright blue eyes, making them a lovely aqua sort of color. Our faces were almost touching. I'd never been that close to him. I leaned back. "It's okay" He said looking down. He turned away. I saw Harry, Zayn, Louis and Liam waving at me. I smiled and they came and sat at our table. Brody, Kylie, Katie and Farah joined us too. I sat next to Niall. Feeling guilty and selfish. How could I be so rude to him? When I needed him, he was always there. When he wanted me to see him, I just went away, not even thinking about him. How could I?

:: Niall's POV ::

The moment when Melanie and I were so close together, would of been the perfect time to tell her. But I couldn't. I tried to say something, but no words came out. She made me nervous. I guess she doesn't like me though. She moved away from the moment. She still sat next to me though. They were all talking, but even if the tried talking to me, I'd just direct the conversation back to someone else. I couldn't speak. Harry and Melanie were flirting under the table and the rest were just talking about anything. "Aren't you hungry?!" Zayn smiled at me. "Nahh..." I smile at him. "Wow. I never thought this day would come." He smiled again. I stand up. "Where you going?" Farah asks. "Toilet. I guess I'll see you next lunch." I hurry away. I couldn't stand being near her, when Harry was flirting. I had no chance. I'd never flirted with Melanie, ever. I found it weird how I kept my feelings for Melanie a secret for years, and now I couldn't. I didn't know what was happening. I did my hair again and went to the next class, thinking about Melanie. And that was all I thought about for the rest of my night. Oh if only she was mine.
