HARRY'S POV

My friends and I got settled in our seats just as the first bell rang, signalling the start of the class. All around us, students were chatting excitedly, about topics ranging from the school's lacrosse team to the ahem, that type of talent this year to the bets made this year to the populars and their parties and so on. Regular high school gossip, you know.

I tuned them all out and pulling out my iPhone, I started typing the lyrics that had suddenly popped up in my head just a while ago— I hate to say it but —when I had seen Zayn.

"Here come the populars," Dani muttered. Speak of the devil.

And as if on cue to Dani's announcement, Zayn Malik walked in with his blonde girlfriend Perrie Edwards beside him. He surveyed the room, appreciating all of the eyes— including mine— trained on him. Then slipping a cocky smirk on his face, he walked at the back of the classroom and took his usual seat, followed by his posse.

"Wow, dramatic much?" Louis muttered and Niall and Dani laughed. But I was still thinking about Zayn. I wonder if he has changed this year? Well he didn't say anything to me yet, just winked at me. But it's not like he will ever be caught interacting with a loser like me in front of everyone.

I snapped my head up when the homeroom teacher started taking the attendance. "Danielle Peazer?"

"Here!"

"Harry Styles?"

"Uh, here," I replied and Zayn and his friends started snickering. Well what's wrong with my name?

"Something you'd like to share with us, Mr. Malik?" the teacher snapped disapprovingly.

"Nothing important ma'm," Zayn shot her his practised fake innocent smile which swayed the teacher. I rolled my eyes. Oh, brother.

"Josh Devine?" Another one of the populars aka Zayn's buddy.

"Here."

"Louis Tomlinson?"

"Here! I'm here!"

After half the classes had passed, it was lunch break and we were all seated at our usual table in the cafeteria. Niall was with us too and holy shiz, can that boy eat! I have honestly never seen anyone eat so much and so fast. And not even get fat! I'm jealous.

I felt someone's eyes on my back, or more specifically, Zayn Malik's eyes on my back. I slowly turned around and caught his taunting smirk. And I cursed my stupid heart for doing a flippy thing.

I turned back around and put my head down. "You ok, Haz?"

"Yeah, fine Dani," I looked up. Were my flustered emotions that obvious? Before Dani could interrogate me more, thankfully Louis spoke up.

"Okay people! Louis the Tommo has something to announce!" We all huddled close together because when Lou says announce, he usually means he wants to tell us a secret. And an exciting and funny one at that. Niall looked uncomfortable but Louis pulled him in. I swear I noticed a faint blush on his cheeks when Lou did that. Aww!

"So lads, and lady, as you all know I had the first class of Drama Club today and everyone had just introduced themselves, the new members and all. Come to think of it, we didn't get any work-"
