Forever Yours

Zayn

The minute she walked in the door, I couldn't take my eyes off of her.

"Who are you?" Mr. Riley demanded of Zarah, he acted like her name wasn't on the roll call list, which we all knew it was. He did this to all the new kids to give them a hard time, I certainly had my share when I moved from England. I couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of her; she was clearly embarrassed.

She turned towards the classroom and we locked eyes for a second before she turned back. To me, that second lasted longer than any other second in my life. God, She was so beautiful, her hair cascaded gracefully down her back. Could she hear my heart thumping against my chest? I felt as if the whole school could and was suprised that no one looked back at me to see where the loud noise was coming from.

She seemed so different from other girls; for one, she didn't have any of the fancy designer stuff that other girls had, and she didn't have layers of makeup covering up her naturally angelic face. In fact, she didn't have any make up on at all. It was... alluring.

"Zarah...my name is Zarah," she said. Zarah...... I loved the sound of it.

"Zarah," I whispered to myself loving the way the letters rolled off my tongue.

I began to smile, no girl has ever done this to me before. Just one glimpse, just one second of eye contact, and I knew that I would never leave her and never try to hurt her. I was under her spell, she had qualities that no other girl possessed....certainly not Katy.

She caught me smiling and shot me a glare.

"Ooh new girl's got an attitude...impressive" I winked at her as she sat down. This only earned me another stare.

Well that's new. Usually girls get weak at the knees when they see me and always forgot how to talk. I don't seem to have an effect on this girl at all. Oh my god, I was in unknown territory and was out of ideas. Just keep cool. I quickly wrote an invitation for her to sit with me and my gang at lunch, and I tried my hardest to make it seem as if I wasn't interested so she wouldn't think I'm a creep. Plus, it would ruin my image. Maybe if she said yes, she would learn more about at lunch and then realize that I'm the guy she'd been waiting for her whole life.

*45 minutes later*

Or Maybe not.

"I will not be played with again!" She turned her back from me, her eyes brimming with tears.

I didn't know what to do , I really liked this girl, and I think that my reputation just caused the possible love of my life to run away from me.

No, I think, I would never hurt you Zarah. And if I ever meet the boy who scarred you like that, I will beat him until he can't stand up. No one will hurt you. No one. Not while I'm at this school.

* 30 minutes later*

I couldn't believe my luck. I walked to my table and saw that Zarah had befriended my whole group of friends. Katy had just finished introducing her to the boys when I cut in.

"Are you going to introduce me to your little friend?"

Katy turns to me and smiles while she explains to Zarah about our relationship. I really wished that she didn't do that because now Zarah would judge me every time I try to flirt with her.

" You do know he's a player right?" I hear her say. Great, the judging has already begun. I manage to laugh with the others to seem as if that statement didn't hurt me at all. Which it did. Katy explained to her about how it wasn't that big of a deal and not to take anything I said too seriously.

" I'm really sorry about earlier," she told me embarrassed about the whole lecture I was given. During the rest of lunch, we all joked around and I could tell that Zarah was really happy. Her whole aura had changed. Whenever she smiled and laughed, I just had to the the same. Her good mood was just so contagious.

*After school*

I was walking home from school when I noticed Zarah walking in the same direction as me. Her family must have bought that new house in our neighborhood.

"Hey babe," Katy said as she hugged me from behind. I shimmied out of her hug and smiled in her direction. I really wasn't in the mood for this. Zarah was all I wanted to think about and I kind of just wanted to be alone. I really did care about her, but I've been so confused lately. I thought I loved her, but now, I wasn't too sure.

"Hey," I replied unsure of how to tell her to leave me alone. She walked with me until she had to turn into her house. By that time it was too late to talk to Zarah because she was walking too far ahead and we were too close to my house. I sighed, maybe next time.

I walked the rest of the way home with my headphones in my ears listening to Macklemore's Ceiling Can't Hold Us. Until I heard a piercing scream fill the air. Somehow, I knew it was Zarah, and began to sprint towards the direction of the noise.

I froze when I got to the house.

Oh.....My.....God......

I could not believe my eyes.
