Zayn Malik isn't exactly someone you'd want to get involved with, but not for the reasons everyone thinks. He knows it's best that he shouldn't care for anyone. He has moved around quite a lot, fighting off things that people didn't even knew exist, but when he moves into this new town and heads to a new school, a certain blond-haired, blue-eyed beaut might change everything... and not in a way Zayn would ever expect.

{book 2} ✓ - ❝ I'm tired of pity, of everyone looking at me like "poor Zayn, infatuated with his best mates's girl". I know it's not okay and if it were so easy to forget about her I would've done it already. It's not. But I just need time, not people to pity me and force me to move on. Why can't they understand that? I just need time and someone to understand. ❞
