At the cafeteria:

Harry: (glaring intensely at Zayn).
Zayn: (fidgeting with his shirt; looks down).
Liam: Oh there he comes.
Niall: (walking with Louis; looking down; stops).
Louis: (nudges him) Go on.
Niall: (looks up pouting).
Harry: (smiles; encourages him).
Zayn: (drilling holes in Niall's head).
Niall: (sits down beside Harry; pulls Louis with him).
Louis: (growls) Ni!? (Sits down; smiles at them uneasily).
Liam: (coughs; signaling Niall to say something.)
Niall: (looks down; sighs) I'm sorry guys... I shouldn't have snapped. It was completely my fault. (Holds Zayn's hand) I'm sorry Zee... I know you were just looking out for me. I was just... (sighs) scared. Because... I know what I did is horrible. (Looks at Zayn) Will you forgive me?
Zayn: (glares at him).
Niall: (gulps).
Zayn: You're an idiot you know that?
Niall: (sighs nodding) Yeah yeah... I know...
Zayn: (starts smiling) C'mere.
Niall: (smiles and hugs him).
Liam: (also joins them; ruffles Niall's hair) Who knew you'd turn into such a casanova huh?
Niall: (chuckles).
Zayn: (smiles at Harry and spreads his arms for him).
Harry: (shakes his head and walks away).
Zayn: (sad; looks at Louis)
Louis: (sighs; follows Harry). Haz...
Harry: (turns; sighs) Don't follow me Louis.
Louis: (runs upto Harry).
Harry: (looks at him; sighs) It's like they don't even care about me.
Louis: (furrows his eyebrows) What!? (Dry laugh) Haz that's the most funniest thing I've ever heard. If there's one thing I'm sure about... it's the fact that those boys love you to death!
Harry: (sighs) I'm not so sure nowadays.
Louis: (shakes his head) What makes you say that?
Harry: (frustrated) They are hiding things from me! All of them seem to know something except me! Fine Liam and Niall have hidden some things from me in the past... but only little things. But not Zayn! Never Zayn! We practically breathe the same breath! But... but now he's hiding things from me! (Sighs looking at his hands) Maybe... maybe I'm not important anymore...
Louis: (squeezes Harry's hand) Harry...
Harry: (shakes his head) I'm never one to crave things like this... but I can't help it... I don't wanna feel... but-
Louis: (smiles) Harry... you're human... not a rock.
Harry: (smiles; trying to lighten the mood) Whatever you say Louis-ji.
Louis: (raises his eyebrows and laughs).

Liam: (sighs) Zee...
Niall: (squeezes Zayn's shoulder) I'm sorry Zee...
Zayn: (shakes his head) It's not your fault Ni... I shouldn't have lied.
Niall: I shouldn't have snapped...
Liam: (sighs) It happened. We can't change anything. (Looks at Zayn) But you can change the future.
Zayn: (furrows his eyebrows) What do you mean?
Liam: (bites his lip) Tell Harry.
Zayn: What!?
Liam: (takes a deep breath) Tell Harry the truth. Tonight. At the party.
Niall: At the Mixers party?
Liam: Yes... You too. Tell Betty the truth.
Niall: (fidgety) Um...
Liam: What? Louis told me along with Harry. No more hiding. (Stern) Both of you.
Niall: (furrows his eyebrows) Oh yeah!? What about you then?
Liam: What about me?
Niall: (crosses his hands) What about what you're hiding?
Liam: (looks at Zayn; turns to Niall) Niall... shut up.
Niall: Well if we're all outing our secrets at the party... then you should too. See if you agree to this... (looks at Zayn) then I'll tell Betty at the party.
Zayn: (nods) Yeah... I'll tell Harry aswell.
Liam: (growls at Niall who smirks; sighs) Fine... If both of you tell Betty and Harry tonight at the party... then I'll tell... (looks at Zayn) the concerned person my secret aswell.
Zayn: Deal. (Walks away).
Liam: (turns to Niall) Ypu fucking Leprechaun. (Sighs) I'll tell him... only after he tells Harry and nothing terrible happens. Okay?
Niall: (shrugs) Works for me.
