Does he know?

I woke up and the sun instantly hit me from outside. Even though it was November the sun still somehow ‘shined’. I panicked because I knew the clock was far over 8. I looked at the clock. Shit. 11 AM. I was two and a half hour late, which only meant one thing – detention. Normally colleges like mine never would do that but lately a lot of student slacked so the teachers changed the rules. I knew this wasn’t a good sign I usually never come late.
I hurried to dress into the first outfit I could find. I quickly ran towards to homeroom 114 where my class hopefully still was.
I stood in front of the door and tried my best to maintain calm. It was so embarrassing to be late - I knocked on the door as I opened it. 20 glances looked at me inclusive Mr. Bolt daunting eyes. He didn’t look happy at all.

”Sorry I’m late Mr. Bolt”, I said shyly as I focused on looking at him and ignoring the class.

”Follow me Annabelle”, he said with his deep voice and pointed at the door. I knew exactly what this meant. He would now scold and nag at me. Maybe call my parents who would know what else he had in mind. I felt so embarrassed the worst thing was that Louis was in this class probably laughing his ass of.
I stepped outside the classroom and watched mr. Bolt how he closed the door. I was ready for him to kick off.

”Annabelle what’s going on? You’re two hours late, you even have special lessons in 5 minutes. I’m not pleased at all. You’re never late. It’s okay to be 10 minutes late but being two hours late and even skip two classes aren’t acceptable. Luckily you’re one of my favorite students and it’s the first time I caught you in doing this so I won’t punish you. Let’s pretend this never happened. Okay?”

He was cold and had a firm look yet he seemed to be cool with the situation. I felt like I was dreaming, was this really all he had to say? What a relief ! ”Thank you so so so much mr. Bolt it won’t happen again I promise”I answered.and almost jumped up and down of hapiness.

”Now go to your private class you can’t be late to that one either”, he said and smiled as he opened the door and went inside the classroom.

I was so happy! No detention! Oh yeah! I needed to high five someone. I loved mr. Bolt, he was one of the best teachers even though he could be rough I knew he only wanted professionalism.
I headed for my private lessons, nervous as I was I still tried to keep calm. I slowly knocked on the door untill I heard a voice from inside.

”Come on in”.
I insecurely walked into the room, a smiling blonde came towards me.

”Hello I’m Helene Hørlyck”, she said and shook my hand .

”Hello I’m Annabelle Pattinson, pleasure to meet you”, I answered politely as I shook hers.

”Take a seat”, she smiled and pointed at the chair next to the desk.

”So Annabelle, I’ve read your journal. You seem to be very talented. I’m looking forward to the next couple of days”, she smiled politely.

”Thank you, I’m also looking forward to it. I've heard good stuff about you so I'm excited to word with you" I gladly answered her. I wanted to show her my best side, I knew this was now or never.

”Great then you know that I only want the best of the best and I do everything I possibly can to make you professional”, she laughed.

” Professional?”, I looked at her with my suspicious look.

”I’m just kidding. I saw your performance last month, I was really impressed. No doubt that you have a great future in front of you. But don’t worry we’ll take one step at a time. First tell me about you and what you want to sing about. Then I have some songs for you that you have to sing and we’ll discuss possible themes you can sing about. Okay?”

”Sounds good to me” I replied as we started talking about me and my future plans. Helene was really sweet.. Way more than what I thought! She made me calm down but once we got to the singing, I completely shut down..
I was nervous but seriously who wouldn't be? I was sitting next to freaking Helene Hørlyck!!

After an hour of singing we finally finished the lesson.

”Great job, see you tomorrow at the same time”, she said and opened the door.

”Yes we do. Have a nice day”, I finished and picked up my phone. I called El to catch up with her; apparently she was at the cafeteria with Zayn and Liam. I hurried to see them again.

”What’s up sleepie? I heard you were late!”, El laughed.

”Yeah I was late if it wasn’t for my so called best friend”, I said in sarcasm. Zayn just gave me a weird look and laughed meanly with Liam.

”It’s not funny Zayn I'm serious about this. Why didn’t you wake me up?” I pretended to be mad at him.

”Well maybe because you fell asleep while I was telling you about my weekend trip, instead of being a good friend and listen to me, you slept. So I decided to be such as good friend as you were and let you sleep", he smirked and stuck his toungue out like a little kid. Liam laughed hystarically at him.

I gave him the fuck finger and he looked shocked as he bursted out”wooaah easy tiger”, he smirked. "'Are you ready for another class or are you planning being late again?" he asked as he looked at me with his innocent look. I knew he loved making fun with me so I just punched him at his biceps. Of course he just laughed because ..yeah.. Zayn did workout a lot!


As soon as the lesson ended I and Zayn went to the cafeteria to eat something. I finally got the courage to tell him about the Harry situation. I needed to set the record straight.

”What do you think we should do?”, I asked as I packed out my sandwich.

”Regarding ??”, he looked confused. “Harry! I can’t cope with this anymoreI”, I admitted.

“No I know I feel the same way. I’ll talk to him at the party on Friday”.

“You really think that is a good idea? He’ll probably be drunk and knock you out. I don’t want that to happen” I looked worried at him but he just laughed.. What was so funny? I was trying to be serious for once?

“Trust me Annabelle. I’m not going to drink because I’m going to visit my cousin on Saturday”

“Great then. But what do you wanna say to Harry?”

"That things developed faster than we thought and we got too caught up.. and of course i’ll add that i’m sorry and yeah, you name it”, he chewed.

”He’ll never forgive us but listen. I want to talk to him before you do. It’s weird that you talk to him before I do. I need to talk everything through with him".

”If you insist but I’m sure he refuses to speak to you any time soon" Zayn smirked, once again he was showing off his badboy attitude

”I know and even Louis hates me. Everything is just a big mess”, I took a sip of my coke. I literally wanted to drunk my emotions.

”I know babe it’s also hard for me. We both knew this would happen sooner or later but to be honest I don’t regret anything and I haven’t changed my mind about us two.”

I sighted.

”Zayn?”

”Yeah?”

”We can’t form something you and me..”

”What do you mean?”, he looked concerned now.

”There’s just too much drama and it would be wrong if we got together or kept sneaking behind Harry’s back. I can’t do that to him anymore"

”I know don’t worry I feel the same way. I respect him and I still love him as a best friend. You know I’ll wait for you "

Gosh. Zayn clearly didnt get my point. As we continued eating his phone suddenly rang. ”Ey mate vas sapening?.. Yeah of course.. No problem. No i’m just eating.. In 10 minutes…OH well.. Yeah.. Be there in 5. Bye”

Who was it?

"Liam"

”And?”

”He wants me to come up to Louis’ room.”

”Louis' room? WHY?”

”I dont know he wants to talk I guess.”

”Be careful Zayn maybe he’ll knock you out or something!”

”Arg. In front of Liam? I dont think so” he laughed.

He finished his meal and went. I called Soph to catch up with her. We agreed to go out for a walk.

We went to the park near the city, few minutes from our college. As I sipped my hot chocolate, listening to Soph talking about her weekend with Niall, I saw someone familiar sitting on the bench few meters from us.

Fuck.

I grabbed Sophs arm and stopped up. ”What?”, she looked shokly me. ”OMG SOPH”, I said in shock. I couldnt believe my own eyes.

”What?? What’s wrong girl!?

”Look over there”, I whispered and leaned my head to their direction.

”The bench?

”Mhmm. It’s the girl I saw with Harry”

”So I guess the boy who sits beside her is Harry?”

”WHAT”, I looked again in their direction. It was Harry! Who was that girl who did she think she was. And what about him he was sneaking behind me back with a strange girl Ugh . I felt a vold in my stomach and a lump in my throat.

”Shall we go back?”, Soph asked. ”Yeah lets’ leave the love birds be alone”, I answered angrily.
I was filled of anger, jealousy and emptiness when I came home. I slammed the door as Zayn, who was sitting at the writing desk, looked weirdly at me.

”Hey hey, why are you punishing the door?", he said and got up.from the chair. He stood in front of me waiting to hear my answer.



I looked at his concerned eyes as I spoke out. "Zayn kiss me"
