Chapter 10

Niall's POV

As I entered the school building I quickly felt the warm temperature penetrate my cold pale skin.

As soon as I started to gain some warmth in my body I began to make my way to my first period.

I couldn't face Zayn... But I had to. This guilt was killing me.

While I was walking to my class I couldn't help but feel someone's eyes burning into me. I turned around just to see Zayn leaning on the lockers, his face looked miserable, when he noticed me staring back at him he quickly turned his head and faced the ground. 

This was enough. I turned around to walk back and clear things up with him.

Suddenly I saw Liam coming out of a classroom and quickly laid his eyes on Zayn.

I stopped. I froze.

When Zayn noticed Liam he quickly lit up... Was Zayn waiting for Liam to come out of the classroom?

They talked and talked for what felt like hours. I couldn't exactly hear it because I was too far away. But from what I could tell, Zayn was content.

Suddenly Liam turned his head to my direction and gazed at me.

He put his arm over Zayn's shoulder and mouthed the words ''Come on.''

They soon started to walk in my direction. So I quickly turned around to head back again to my first period, making sure to avoid them as much as I could.

Well, this sure was a turn of events, wasn't it?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I entered my Art class I didn't hesitate to go sit to my assigned table.

I quietly sat down on the stool and started to draw on a blank sheet. Today was free-draw day. Which was mostly every day in this class. This was such a blow-off class...

After 10 minutes or so I heard the classroom door slowly opening. Zayn came in.

He walked over to the teacher's desk and had a small conversation with her. Again I couldn't hear anything. I haven't heard his voice at all...

The art teacher glanced at me and then nodded her head with a confused look on her face, Zayn turned around and quickly sat next to some girl I haven't really noticed before. They soon started to talk.

I wasn't really expecting this...

I sighed.

The rest of the class went by fast. When the bell rang everyone quickly made their way out of the classroom, including Zayn.

I got off the stool and made my way to the door.

''Oh wait, Niall!'' I heard my art teacher exclaim.

I turned around to face her.

''Yes?'' I answered.

My teacher stood up from her desk chair and walked up to me. 

She gave me a worried look. ''What the heck is going on with Zayn?'' 

''I-I don't know... I don't know what goes on in his life.'' I lied. I always try to lie myself out of situations.

''Mhmm...'' She crossed her arms. ''Well, something must've happened between you two if he doesn't wasnt to sit with you. Am I right?'' 

''I guess...'' I scratched the back of my head.

''Zayn worries me...'' She said. ''If something really bad is going on with him please don't hesitate to tell me, alright?'' 

''Y-Yeah... Thanks...Teacher'' I said awkwardly.
