I've Got A Secret
Break
Chapter 25
*A month later
“This is my favorite season!” Glimmer said as she fixed her white scarf that hid her neck.
“And why is that?”I asked as I placed my phone back in my pocket.
“Well, Thanksgiving is around the corner and Christmas as well.”
“Oh yeah, lots of holidays” I added.
“Yup, and because of the days we get off school! Speaking of breaks, what are you planning for thanksgiving?” She asked as we made our way out of the math department.
“I’m hoping to spend it with my family and Zayn. What about you?” The cold wind blew which caused my hair to go all over the place which was annoying. But since the temperature was lowering, I didn’t mind much. I love winter time.
“I’ll probably fly out to Seattle and visit my grandma with my parents, nothing too interesting” she responded. We walked towards some lunch tables and sat on one. Since we both have become busy, we haven’t had time to catch up. So passing periods were the times we “caught up”.
“Are you taking Niall?”
“Not sure, he might have plans. I haven’t asked him yet”
“I can’t wait for the thanksgiving dinner”I said which made Glimmer laugh. Then we noticed Zayn and Niall walking towards us. I couldn’t help but smile when I saw Zayn.
Niall was the first to get to the table and greeted Glim with, “Hey beautiful”. She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
“Hey babe, want me to walk you to your next class?”Zayn asked and I nodded. After we said our goodbyes to Niall and Glim, we began to walk to the 600s.
“Are you ready for this break?”Zayn asked as he turned to face me with a smile on his face.
“Yes, I can’t wait to stay home all day and sleep” This made Zaynand I laugh.
“I want you to meet my mother” His sudden comment caught me off guard. I was surprised because last time I checked his mother, the principal, doesn’t like me. She literally called me stupid the first day I met her.
“Are you sure Zayn?” I asked with a worried tone. Zayn then grabbed my waist and pulled me to him.
He looked straight into my eyes and whispered, “I’m sure”

The rest of the day consisted of me thinking about the whole meeting Zayn’s mom, again, but this time as his girlfriend. This is a big step into our relationship, I suppose. I just can’t help but be nervous, extremely nervous. I think everyone can tell she doesn’t like me. I’ve been meeting with her constantly to “check my progress”, but she has managed to slip a couple of insults here and there. But I was up for it. If Zayn wanted me to meet his mother, then I will do it; no matter the disapproving words she’ll most likely give us.
For thanksgiving break, I was assigned an English project, the worst I know. But luckily we were also assigned partners. I was partnered with Michael and I was happy because he’s funny and nice. When I had told Zayn about it, he didn’t seem to like it much. He said something like “why don’t you switch partners?” and “whose this Michael guy?” and “why are you happy cause he’s your partner?!”. Yeah everyone could say he was jealous. But after I had explained that it was just a project, he sort of agreed to it. So throughout the day, I not only thought about meeting Zayn’s mom, but I also thought about the weeklong break we were about to have.
Zayn’s POV
I really want Veronica to meet my mom. I know they already met, but I want my mom to know that Veronica is my girlfriend; she’s the one who makes me happy. I’m just not sure how she’ll react to the news.
I really want to get out of school already. If it wasn’t for Veronica, I would have ditched today because it was the last day of school before break. I lazily made my way through all of classes, sleeping in a few as well. Once 5th period came along, I made my way to the lockers. Once I was in the weight room, I began on the assignment coach told us to work on. It wasn’t until a few minutes in that I began to listen to the whispers around the room. I didn’t pay much attention to them because they weren’t my problem.
A few minutes later I saw Louis walk towards me.
“Hey man”
“Sup Lou” I said. After I greeted Louis, I heard some whispers about Veronica.
“How’s it going man?”
“What the fuck are they talking about?” I said through gritted teeth. Just her name being said by others pissed me off. And the fact that I didn’t know why only angered me more.
“Oh… that… look man it’s no big deal” he said, without looking at me. I could tell he was lying.
“C’mon Louis, anything with Veronica’s name in it is a big deal. Now tell me”
“Fine, fine. Someone started to say that some kid name Mike… or is it Michael? I’m not sure. But yeah, that that kid has been saying Veronica is his and shit” he said. To say I was angry was an understatement. Jealousy and anger does not mix well.
“Get the fuck out of my face Louis” I didn’t want to completely blow up on him so I had to tell him to leave me alone.
After he shrugged, he left me alone. I didn’t want to fight, for Veronica’s sake.
Harry’s POV
I saw Louis walk up to Zayn and after he left, Zayn looked pissed. I assumed he found out about the rumors circling around school. I don’t blame him for being angry. Everyone continued to talk about Veronica and some kid named Michael throughout the class. I didn’t believe it, but it did make me a little jealous.
After class ended, Zayn was the first one out of the room. If I didn’t know him well enough, I would have said he was just going to the lockers, but I know him better. He’s off to fight.
Niall and I followed Zayn through campus still in our workout gear. It took us a little while to finally catch up with him. But once we could see him, there was a crowd surrounding him and I assume Michael. We made our way to the center and I was right. Zayn was there, yelling his head off at Michael. Then out of nowhere Zayn threw the first punch and hit Michael straight on the nose. After that, everything went chaotic. After Zayn got on top of Michael, Niall and I tried to pull him off. We struggled a bit, but then some security guards came and stopped the fight completely.
The principal had called us into her office. She asked us about all the information we had about the fight and what caused it. We told her everything. But throughout that time, I kept thinking about Veronica. I really hoped she didn’t see the fight.
