Liam ran across the hall and into English class, he grimaced at the time before he pushed the door open

He gave his teacher a forced smile then walked towards his seat and sat down beside Zayn

"What are we doing?"

Zayn tapped on the book "Reading" He said then looked at Liam "I haven't seen you in a while..."

Liam ran his fingers through his hair then turned to Zayn "I've been busy"

Zayn slowly nodded, before Timmy walked in, he smiled at the professor then passed Liam and Zayn to his seat

He winked at Liam who chuckled then turned ahead, opening the book before he looked at Zayn

"Which pages?"

"Chapters 4 till 14, then write an essay about everything you've learned in those chapters"

Liam nodded "Thanks" He said opening the book, he looked at Zayn who had the story on his lap and started to write in his notebook

"You're done"

Zayn nodded "Finished the book the day we got it" He flipped the pages "Didn't have anything to do"

Liam frowned "The others have been going out almost all week..."

Zayn shrugged and mumbled "If you don't go... I don't go"

Liam looked at Dylan "Is Zayn ok?"

Dylan shrugged "No, why?"

Liam rubbed the back of his neck "I haven't been hanging out with him for a bit"

Dylan's eyes widened "What? Why?" Before Liam could say anything, they ran and pulled Niall towards Liam

"What?"

"I haven't been hanging out with Liam"

Niall's jaw dropped and his eyes widened "HUH?!"

Liam rubbed the back of his neck "Yeah..."

Niall stood up but got pulled down "No" Liam said quickly "Don't tell Louis and Harry"

Niall scratched the back of his head "Can you tell me why?"

"No..."

Niall put his hands on his hips "Are you safe?"

"Yeah"

Niall looked at Liam "Does Zayn know?"

"No"

Niall crossed his arms "Are you free tomorrow?"

"Yeah"

"Good, there's a gathering at Dylan's house, you better be there"

Liam sighed "I'll try..."
