Baby Just Say Yes (A Zariana Story)

Chapter 33

Hi. 

Chapter 33

Zayn’s POV

Ariana’s words played throughout of my head for the rest of the day. How can I forget about her? Sure, not talking to her would be hard, and if I tried, I could do it, but not think about her? She is the love of my life (mushy, I know, but it’s true.). 

I considered skipping school that day, but that would ruin my attendance record (I have never, ever, EVER missed a day of school), so I decided not to. People would be annoying me all day, I know, but I can’t do anything about it. 

I walked in the class, and all eyes were on me. I also haven’t soiled my tardiness record, so there weren’t too many people watching me, but enough to make me cringe.

“Zayn, over here!” Perrie shouted, waving her arms. I don’t understand why she’s doing this, we have assigned seats. I heard people snickered as I walked over to my seat.

“What are you doing here, should you not be in detention?” I asked. I honestly don’t believe the school would let an incident like this slip by.

“True, but I got off the hook.” Are you serious, I thought. They let Perrie get away with this. She is sneaky; I wonder what she had to do to get away with it.

“I don’t wanna know what you did to get away with this.” I said.

“Trust me, you don’t.” was her response. Ew, gross.

Mrs. I began calling attendance. I cringed when she came to Ariana’s name.

“Ariana. Ariana, are you here? Oh, that’s right…” She said, and wrote something on her clipboard. Lots of people turned to look at me. I looked down at my desk. I know Perrie sees all the people, but she just ignored. As soon as she was done taking attendance, she clapped her hands to get our attention.

“Alright students, please get in your duet groups. Most of you still need to learn to work together.” She looked me dead in the eye. She was talking about me and Perrie. 

“Well, I need to learn the lyrics of the song. How about you teach them to me?” Perrie asked sweetly.

“How bout you learn them yourself?” I barked at her.

“Hey, no need to get snappy at me.”

“Actually, there is. Don’t think just because Ari will let you get away with this means I will. I will teach you a lesson and I’ll make sure you can’t hurt anyone else. I’m done with you and your bullshit.” I really am done with her. But of course, I’m not done with her as I can get rid of her. She could kill me if she wanted to.

“That’s cute Zayn, but we all know you wouldn’t mess with me. I could kill you if I wanted to.” Perrie gave me an evil smile. It’s like she was reading my mind.

I decided not to fight with her. Just give her what she wants, I told myself. I pulled the lyrics that Taylor wrote herself when she turned in her demo, the same lyrics that me and Ari got, and were planning to use ourselves. 

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

I’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run

You’ll be the prince, and I’ll be the princess

It’s a love story

Baby just say yes

Perrie read the lyrics to the chorus out loud. I remember when Ari and I read the lyrics for the first time. Her voice, her sweet voice reading the lyrics, she didn’t even need to sing the song for me to be hypnotized. But then I heard her sing it. All my thoughts and problems disappeared. She’s all I need to be alright. I can’t forget about her. She’s my drug, my kryptonite.
