Best Friends

Asking

KateLynn's POV:

"Will you just ask him?" "No! What if he laughs in my face?" "He won't!"

The conversation I had with Maggie earlier that day replays through my mind. I mean, I know she's right, it's just that... Asking him to the party would ruin our friendship!

    "Hey!" My mind babbling was interrupted by the boy himself. "Oh, hey Zayn." I responded shaking my head. "KateLynn? You okay?" He asked, concern clear on his beautiful face. "Huh? Oh yeah, totally! So uhm, what's up?" I looked up to see a sheepish smile on his face. "You did the math homework right?" He asked me, his eyes pleading for me to say yes. "Hmmm, did I do the homework? Yes. Will I let you copy it? I don't know..." I replied smirking at his reaction. "I'm kidding, ya know. Of course you may have my homework answers." I tell him with a laugh. "You're a lifesaver, you know that?" He told me, relieved. I just smiled as I took out the papers he would need.

    "Why can't you seeee, you belong with meeee, you belong with me!" My phone blares Taylor Swift's hit as Zayn smiles and shakes his head; he never understood my obsession for that song. I roll my eyes and smile back while glancing at the screen. Maggie's name lit up across the top. I answer it and walk a few feet away so Zayn can't eavesdrop.

    "Hey girly! What's happenig?" I greet my practical sister; we joke that we were separated at birth. "You're welcome!" Came her gleeful reply. "What now?" I ask nervously. "KateLynn and Zayn sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g!" She sang. "WHAT?!" I yelled in her ear. "You're going to the party with Zayn, my darling." She said in a horrible British accent. "Maggie I swear whe- Hello?" The line went dead.

    "Hey, sorry, but I uhhhh I have to... Go. Maggie has a, a question about, umm drama class, so I uhh I have to help her!" I told Zayn as I gathered my things. "What about the math?" He called. "Keep it! I'll get it at lunch! Bye!" I yelled back.

*A FEW MOMENTS LATER, IN THE DRAMA ROOM*

     "Maggie FitzGerald! I can NOT believe you!" I screeched at my best friend once I got in the drama room. "Oh hush! You know you love me for it!" She said as she continued working on a costume. "I was gonna do it eventually." I muttered. "But I did it now!" She told me, finally looking up.  "And trust me, he's gonna love you in this!" she said brightly as she held up the dress. 

     I thought about it and decided that she was right. Zayn is, well the love of my life. I know, I know, I'm only seventeen! I shouldn't know what love is, but this is it, trust me! I might as well have a little fun.
