*Zayn's POV*
I could either ditch right now of take off this sweater. I'm stuck. I'm just going to go home. But then my teachers will wonder why I'm not in class. But she could easily forget I was in class.
I sighed looking around the hallway. I saw Niall laughing with some girl. Well he's taking this well. It's only been a week and God I'm talking about this boy that used to stalk me. But he was cool sometimes. Like seriously.
I left through a side door and ran till I was past the parking lot. From then on I just walked home.
I just couldn't do this heat. And I couldn't take off my clothes. I hope we have some very chilly weather for summer time because I really don't want to have to suffer.
When I made it home I unlocked the door and went upstairs to my room. I turned the air on and stripped of my clothes. I mean from beanie down to my socks. I then took a cold shower.
I washed my hair and my body before exiting wrapping a towel around me and going to my room.
I laid on my bed and sighed.
It's been 7 days gosh. Only 7 days and I fucking miss the jerk. But he's an asshole. I don't even have anything to do. I'm legit bored. I sighed.
Maybe next year I won't be so closed off. Maybe even over the summer but that's not until like 2 more months.
I sighed again. What's wrong with me? I don't want to make friends or I'm afraid I can't? Do I cover up because I want to or because I don't want to know people's opinions about me? Do I just observe because I can't partake in?
I sighed again. Literally what just happened? Why am I thinking like this. When have I ever been unsure about myself. I turned to my side and just fell asleep.

I'm woke to my mom screaming at me about the school telling her I didn't finish the day of school. I was so pissed because it wasn't my fault.
She said 'this' would have to stop. "What is this?" I asked her.
"These long pants! These sweaters and these freaking beanies. It's not an excuse anymore Zayn. Just because you don't want to be notice, doesn't means you skip school. What's wrong with attention Zayn!" She yelled.
"And what's wrong with meat? With chicken? Or turkey? Absolutely nothing. So stop waisting money for food I don't eat." I said.
"We are talking about you Zayn! Are you ashamed? Then why keep getting tattoos? Wouldn't that tell you something?" She said.
"Please leave me alone." I said and she left out of my room and slammed my door.
I plugged my headphones in and began listening to my music again. I was really agitated with her. I'm never super agitated with her but I am now. And I wish I wouldn't take my frustration out on her.
My phone vibrated and I looked at it. It was my dad.
Sperm Donor: you mum has told me about you skipping school again. She's been telling me all about your mishaps and if you do something again you may have to come live with me. Can't keep putting her through that stress.
Me: what stress? I don't put her through anything. I barely do. And you're one to talk I didn't flee the fucking continent with my sister and not speak to my mother about it. I'm still not sure why she didn't call the fucking police. And I will never live with you. Let's get one thing straight. I hate you. You walked out on me. And you throw me money to make you feel like you're a fit parent. Do not text me anymore.
I was so pissed off at him. He really really put me in a worse mood.
I closed my eyes and began breathing slowly just trying to calm down. I've never been this angry.
*Niall's POV*
So me and Zayn haven't talked in a week and a half. And it's Wednesday! But he has missed like the last three days of school. I mean he's not even here today. And maybe no one else knows but I do and it's a little bit nerve wrecking even though he's always judging me he grew on me and I do notice when he's gone.
I even remember the last day I seen him was on a Friday when I saw him leave the school. I looked out the window and I mean he was running away.
I packed up my stuff and went to next period. I'm glad it's the last period too because I have been so tired today and all these teachers are doing is loading us up with homework.
I dropped my pencil. And I sighed because fuck.
"I'll pick it up." A girl said bending over right in front of my face.
The thing is that didn't even lift my mood and she had on a mini skirt.
"Thanks." I said and she frowned going back over to her seat.
Should I go see if he's okay? I mean that would be weird right? We haven't talked in over a week and I show up at his house cause I'm worried. But it isn't my fault. A friend to me is supposed to accept my flaws. He was just straight up yelling at me.
Maybe I shouldn't go. Maybe I should and see if his mom is home and ask her? I'll do that for sure and if he comes to the door I'll hide. Okay fine.
I tuned out the class and soon heard the bell ring. As soon as I stepped on the hallway girls crowded me. Some days this shit gets real old.
"I don't feel like being bothered today ladies." I said.
"I'll give you a massage""I'll carry your book bag.""I've got some Tylenol if you're not feeling well."
"I don't feel like being bothered." I said again. "Stop following me. Not today!" I said slower.
I heard some suck their teeth walking away from me. Once again I began looking to see if anyone was following me. When I saw no one I made it up to Zayns house.
I rung the doorbell and shortly after I heard like slippers on the other side and Zayn doesn't wear slippers so it must have been Ms. Malik.
She opened the door smiling. "Oh hello Niall." She said.
"Hey Ms. Malik." I said.
"Zayn's upst-" I cut her off and not in a mean way.
"I know. I was wondering was he okay though? He hasn't been to school in a few days." I said.
"No he's sick actually. Hopefully he'll feel better tonight so he can go to school in the morning. You don't want to go up and see him?" She asked confused.
So I played it off. "Nah I don't want to get sick. I'll text him though." I said.
"Ok I'll tell him you stopped by." She said.
"Please don't." I said and she looked confused again.
"Just don't please." I said and turned around to leave. "Bye Ms. Malik." I said and began to walk home.
When I got home a girl was sitting on the porch. "Excuse me are you lost?" I asked her.
"You asshole. We fucked last week. Remember me? Melinda! You said we had a 'bond' I was coming by to see if you were okay cause I heard from your groupies you weren't feeling to well. But fuck it." She said and slapped me before walking away.
I held my cheek. I deserved that. I went in the house and up to my room and fell on my bed. Today was just a real shitty day.
