I'M SO SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN FOREVER. During quarantine I've been completely ignoring my writing. I've been playing my piano and writing songs and I completely forgot about my stories. I'll make this one extra long.
[Melissa's POV]:
I walk in the school building going straight to my locker pulling out a few textbooks.
Zayn: Are you coming to the game today? It starts at 3pm. Me:yeah I'll be there.
"Is that the guy you met on the bus?" Louis says startling me. " jeez you scared me, but yeah it's Zayn. " "Damn he even has a good name. What does he look like?"
Me: hey I know this is weird but can you like send me a picture of you my friend wants to know what you look like Zayn:

"Damn. He's hot." Louis says fanning himself. "Louis chill, I'm pretty sure he's straight." " Please, when he sees me he's going to be as straight as Chris Colfer. " "I don't even know who that is." " you don't - nevermind. " He walks off with a hand on his hip. He's so extra I swear.

The final bell rings sending all the students out of their class and out into the hallways. I walk slowly to my locker putting my textbooks away and grabbing a few things. I close my locker heading to the parking lot. "Hey Dylan. I'm staying after to watch the football game." I say through the window of his car. " Okay, me and Harry are going to the cafe. " "Wow getting along I see?" I smirk. " better than you'd imagine. " He shouts driving off.
After about thirty minutes of waiting in the halls a few people start showing up for the game. "Hey Melissa." I feel a light tap on my shoulder and then around to see Zayn. "Oh hey Zayn." "You want to get going so we can get good seats?" I nod following him as we walk to the bleachers where a few people are scattered. " I'll go get us some drinks I'll be right back. " After a few minutes Zayn comes back with two cans of soda handing one to me before sitting back down. "Do you have any interest in football at all Melissa?" Zayn asks seriously . "No not really, if anything this was an excuse to get away from my family for a bit and hang out with someone. " "You know your really pretty." Zayn says moving a stray strand of hair out of my face. " Zayn. " I whisper pushing his hand away before he leans in too close. "I'm sorry but I'm taken." " oh sorry. If I had known I wouldn't have come into you in the first place. " we sat in silence watching the game before Zayn speaks up. "It's awkward now isn't it. " " Being honest, kinda yeah. " I say quietly. Zayn turns my head to him staring into my eyes. "What are you doing?" " I've heard staring into another person's eyes relieves tension. " He says with a straight face not breaking eye contact. After a few seconds I can't help my self from bursting into fits of laughter.
"See I told you! It relieves tension!" He says pointing at me with a chuckle." My phone starts buzzing in my pocket and I pull it out answering Harry's call. "Hello?" " Melody. " Harry says in a broken voice. "Harry what's wrong?" "I need you help. Th-the ambulance is coming but I -I need your help." " ambulance what? Harry what happened? " "Dylan got shot." He chokes into the phone. My heart drops as those words leave his mouth as I take a second to register what he said. " where are you give me the address. " I sob into the phone. "Okay." He hangs up the phone and I get up from the bleachers . "Melissa what's wrong?" " something happened to my brother I-I need to go. " "I'll come with you, I know you don't have a ride." We run to his car as he quickly starts the engine while we drive to the cafe that they're at.
