Narration
Aurora and Kate entered the hallway and saw Zayn and his friends. Zira was standing too. Ryan waved his hand at them motioning them to come over. Zayn was secretly happy because his buddy made his job easy.
"Hey," said Ryan and Harry.
"Hello," sang Aurora and Kate with a giggle.
They had a little conversation in which Zira was completely ignored by Aurora and Kate. Harry was being funny and lit up the mood. Zayn and Aurora were aware of each other's presence and found solace in it. Zayn and Aurora just smiled at each other but didn't speak a word.
They had their conversation and then left for class reluctantly.
During the break, Zira took Zayn along with her somewhere. Aurora was a bit disappointed but soon masked it skillfully. Harry and Ryan accompanied anyway, but the brat here misses her jerk. The whole day passed in a blink and was boring. As much as she hated to admit, she missed Zayn's presence. Of course, he was back for the classes but then again she was busy with her work, therefore they couldn't talk with each other.
While leaving for home, Kate said that she has something to do with Mr. Philip. So she informed Aurora that she wouldn't be able to accompany her home today as she'll be a bit late.
Ryan heard this and offered Aurora to drop her home.
"No it's alright. I'll go on my own. Anyway thanks, Ryan," said Aurora, politely refusing.
"No, I insist Aurora. It would be a pleasure," said Ryan. He was waiting for a chance to spend time with her. After convincing Aurora a bit, she finally gave in and agreed.

I just don't like Zira. I get bad vibes from her. She keeps clinging onto Zayn all day. She's too blind to see Zayn's uneasiness or maybe she didn't care about it. The way she looks at him gives me bad vibes. Perhaps she is trying to hit on him. Who knows? I mean, why not because Zayn is definitely a good looking guy. I even think that she is toxic to Zayn. But how can I tell him? I heard that they are childhood friends. Anyway I am not too close to Zayn to tell these things.
Even today she took Zayn somewhere. Zayn tried to deny it, but she never left him. So, finally he agreed. Kate told me that she won't be able to accompany me home because she has some work to do with Mr. Philip.
So Ryan offered me a drive home. At first I disagreed and eventually agreed when he insisted.
"Go home safe baby, I'll be back soon. Miss me!" said Kate.
"Sure, sure." I said and chuckled. My Crazy Kate is too adorable!
"Where is she going? How will you go home alone?" asked Zayn. This is the first time he's talking with me today.
"She has some work to complete and I am not going alone," I said as I packed my bag.
"With whom are you going then?" questioned Zayn.
"I am going with Ryan," I said.
"Why with Ryan? I could drop you off!" he said. Wait, what? He sounded jealous.
There came the bitch to spoil the scene. Why is she always coming between us? It's annoying just looking at her face.
"Who will drop me then? C'mon Zayn," she whined.
I felt like puking. Yuck.
"Someone's jealous here," mocked my brain.
"Will you just shut up!" I yelled.
Uh ohhh. A bit louder.
Zira was talking with Zayn and she thought that I told her to shut up. I don't care anyway.
I started, "It's okay Zayn. You drop her and Ryan will drop me. Go on she's waiting" I finished with a fake smile.
Zayn shook off his head and let out a sharp breath. He looks annoyed. "Take care," he said and left the room unsatisfied, followed by Zira. She passed me a dirty smirk before leaving. Who the hell is she to smirk at me? What was she implying by it? Is she thinking that she won cause she took Zayn with her? What the fuck was running on her fucking mind?
My thoughts were disturbed when Ryan entered.
"Shall we go?" asked Ryan with a pleasant smile.
"Sure," I said as we walked out.
"Wait here. I'll go bring my car," said Ryan.
CAR?I wanna walk today! The weather is too pleasant!
"Ryan, stop. Let's walk," I said.
"Walk?" he gave me a surprised look.
"Yep," I said.
"Alright. Let's go," he said excitedly.
"Well, what about your car?" I asked.
"I'll tell my driver to get it. Don't worry. Let's go," he said.
We started walking. All the girls looked at us with jealousy, to be more specific they were glaring at me. I rolled my eyes at them and continued walking.
Ha, like I care! The reason these girls are glaring at me is Zayn and his friends don't talk with anyone besides their group. I am new here but they are all already my friends. That's called "Charms" girls, and not everyone is blessed with it.
I have seen girls drooling over Zayn, and the boys. Not gonna lie, all look hella handsome. They all looked like some sort of bad boys, which they surely are, with a very dark and intimidating aura and "Never mess with me" board. Zayn seems like the leader of them.
I shook off my thoughts when Ryan called me, "Yes?" I asked.
"Wanna we drink something?" he asked, pointing towards Starbucks.
"Yeah, sure," I said.
"You wait here. I'll go get it," he said with a smile.
I waited outside. After a few minutes he came with the drinks. We started walking and had a little conversation. And suddenly a question popped into my mind.
Should I ask him?
"Sure," said Ryan.
Damn it, Aurora, you said it aloud again!
"Since when are you and Zayn friends?" I asked.
"It's three of us. Zayn, Harry and I. We have been together since Kindergarten. Zayn's like a brother to me. We three have been in the darkest phase of life together. I couldn't imagine my life without them," he finished.
Since kindergarten? That's great.
"What about Zira?" I asked. Shit. I shouldn't have asked this. Why should I be so good at screwing things?
"Zira befriended Zayn when we were 10 years old. That Zayn was vulnerable and she somehow befriended him. Harry and I don't like her that much. She is too clingy. I think she has a crush on Zayn," he said.
I knew it!
"Oh," I said.
"You said that you have a sister right? Where is she?" I asked, trying to change the topic.
"Her name is Stella. She works in our school," he said.
In our school?
WAIT!
Is he talking about STELLA KNIGHT?
"What is your last name?" I asked.
"Knight," he said.
"So you and Stella are siblings?" I asked.
"Yeah. You know her?" he asked.
"So you are uncle John's Son?" I asked and he just nodded.
"Holy shit ! It was you, whom my dad always talked about!" I said.
He looked perplexed.
"Do you know Mr. Alex Wilson?" I questioned.
"Uncle Alex? I know him too well! He is my dad's best pal!" he exclaimed.
"Why are you asking about him?" he asked.
We came to my house. He looked at my mansion open mouthed and I said, "Well, your Uncle Alex is my Dad," and chuckled.
