Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 11

And that's how you find the answer for this problem. It's been almost 2 hours and let's say Harry's maths skills are way more worse than mine . We just got done with the homework and I am helping him understand what Mr. Norman taught us today
"Harry how did you do Maths back home?"
"Oh actually my boyfriend was really good at it, so he would let me copy his home work and his tests. Wait my ex boyfriend sorry forgot putting the 'x' here too."

Was that a joke in a funny way  or was he being sarcastic and is in pain .  I wanted to know more but what if he started crying god I am in no mood for comforting people right now

"Um so you want something to eat?" I hope he says yes that way I kind of get to know him and well I would get a reason to not eat dinner down
"Nah I am good you know what I should get going don't want to disturb your family"
"Hey it's fine I am sure they don't even know you are here"
"Obviously God you live in a mansion . I forgot you were the son of "THE MALIKS" now I know why you think you rule the world"

As soon as he said that he started laughing . Honestly I hated that comment and if it was anyone else, I would have punched him and thrown him out . But the sound of his  laugh made  all my anger suddenly disappear . He looked so innocent, his eyes were sparkling  and god his face was so cute . Just as I was about to say something Marry came in

"Zayn love you didn't sit down for dinner again today... oh I am sorry to interrupt , I forgot to knock"
" Marry it's fine I have told you that you of all people can come in without knocking. "
"So I see you have company today Zayn , who is this lovely boy?"
"I am Harry , nice to meet you ma'am . Zayn I need to leave it's getting pretty late , thanks for today will see you soon bye."

Before I could even say another word he was up and out of the room . Did I do something wrong ? cause I doubt I did atleast not this time . I gave Marry a small smile and put in my headphones, Harry is so difficult to understand and yet I want to know him . Liam is right something is wrong with me.

I guess this is  the first Monday where Harry isn't sulking about his stupid ex boyfriend . Honestly I am surprised that one study session with Zayn could make Harry so happy and for a subject like Maths did he teach him by dipping the numbers in sugar ?

"So you are telling me the guy who you hate with all your heart is teaching you Maths and you are teaching him English in return?"
"First I don't hate him, and second well he is pretty good in explaining maths so why not? Also I am returning his favour by teaching him English "
"But isn't he pretty good at English"
"What do you mean ? Zayn is good..."
"Oh hi Harry I am Liam , Zayn's friend I hope you guys studied well . Niall can I  talk with you for a minute  in private now ?"
"Um sure , I will be back soon Harry"

"Do not tell Harry that Zayn is good in English you understood?"
"Ok I am lost what ? and why not?"
"Zayn wants to help your friend here so be a nice guy and just let him do that , see in return I will tell Zayn that you are helping him and maybe you will be on his good side ."
"Being on Zayn's good side means being away from any type of bullying I am in"
"Bullying? Is someone bullying you here? You don't have to be scared you can tell me"
"No it's nothing , you have my word I won't tell Harry anything can  I go now?"
"Ya sure ... um wait Niall I know it will come out weird, but Zayn and Harry will be studying again this weekend and my other friends will be busy . So wanna hang out this weekend you know like old times ?"
"Um well I will be doing nothing this weekend so ok . You have my number right just message me what you want to do ok bye."

Before he could answer the bell rang and the hallway started crowding up with people moving to their classes . I honestly can't believe I was going to tell Liam about Andy and Ed bullying me , on the other hand I  can't believe I am going to spend time with Liam . God I never though we would become friends again . Wait I don't think he wants to be friends again , also I am not sure I am ready to get back to being friends with him so soon .
