Chapter 47: Don't Smoke.
Melanie's P.O.V:
I groan and open my eyes due to unbearable pain erupting in my stomach and turn over on my bed, when I find the space beside me empty.
I narrow my eye brows in confusion and look around for Zayn, finding him nowhere. In the mean time, my alarm starts ringing and I dismiss it, getting up from the bed.
He left without even saying anything. Or was it just a dream? But I'm sure it wasn't a dream because every moment felt real with him. I take a deep breathe and head to my toilet, getting ready for school.
I walk in my crowded hallway, feeling dizzy and my stomach doing back flips is also not helping. I clench my jaw as another jolt of pain rises in my stomach. A few seconds later, it gets alright, and I concentrate on the hallway.
As I keep walking, I feel somone come near me. Then a soft material is placed on my back. I am about to turn and see what he or she wants, when I hear a girlish voice.
"Run to the toilet, now!" I hear her whisper in my ear. I curse under my breath and realize what might have happened.
I turn around to find a very glistening pair of hazel eyes. A very fair and gorgeous girl stands behind me as her mid length brown hair fall on her shoulders. She smiles and points towards the toilet.
"Okay, thank you!" I squeal and run to the toilet of our school.
After working my way through the dreadful minutes of washing away the terror, I finally make my way outside the toilet. I begin to head towards my history class when I bump into someone and that person's books fall.
"I'm sorry," I say, bending down and picking up their books.
"Oh hey, it's fine." I hear the same voice again. I stand up and see the brunette again in front of me, standing next to a gorgeous girl with green eyes and brown hair as well.
"Hey, thank you for earlier. I'm Melanie Philips." I smile at her and stick out my hand, as we shake our hands.
"No need to thank. I'm Eleanor Calder and this is my friend Sophia Smith." She smiles at me and I shake Sophia's hand as well.
"You two seem new here?" I say and they smile, nodding their heads.
"Yeah, we just joined yesterday." Eleanor speaks in her calm and sweet voice.
"Nerdy, class is about to start!" I hear Zayn say from behind me and I clench my jaw. At least he should not call me that when I'm standing with other people.
"Um..I'll see you guys around, I gotta go or otherwise I'll get late." I say, nervously laughing and getting embarrassed because of Zayn.
"Sure, see you around, Melanie." Sophia says and they walk away from me. I turn around and glare at Zayn.
"Could you at least not call me Nerdy in front of other people?" I groan and he laughs, winking at me. We walk to History together and settle on our usual back seats.
"Better not come to my house tonight." I warn him and he chuckles, randomly turning the pages of his book.
"I'll come at evening," he says and I give out a loud groan.
"Whyyyyy?" I whine in a dramatic way.
"You have to help me with school work, you were the one who volunteered." He says having a smirk on his lips. I sigh and nod.
I take out my phone from my bag and text Louis.
To Lou:
I hate your best friend. :/
"I hate you too, Nerdy." He says in a casual tone and I turn my head to face him.
"Could you keep your nose, eyes, face and everything to your self?" I ask him in an irritated tone and he shakes his head.
I groan and turn my attention back to my phone when I receive a text from Louis. I'm confused, how does he manage to reply to me so fast? As if, his teacher never sees him.
From Lou:
What did he do now? XD
"Yes, what did I do now?" He asks me and I gasp, turning my head again to face him.
"Oh my God, Zayn! Could you stop reading my texts? There is something called 'Privacy'." I say, air qouting the word, and giving him the best glares as possible.
"I've never heard that word." He pretends, shaking his head with a smug smirk on his face. Why does he like annoying me? I actually thought that it'll end, but no, he proved me wrong.
Before I can reply to Louis, our teacher enters the class, making many students groan.
He soon starts his lecture, and I note it down on my notebook when I feel someone kick my desk. I flare my nostrils in anger and look at him. He pretends that he doesn't know what happened and continues to listen to the lecture.
I shake my head disaprovingly, and again get back to my work, when I feel another kick on my desk.
"Zayn Javadd Malik, I swear if you don't stop, I'm going to kill you!" I raise my voice at him, completely forgetting that I'm in middle of a lecture. The whole class goes silent and they stare at us. This is so awkward. Our teacher stares at Zayn and I, under his glasses, making me think that yeah, this is the time when I get detention for the first time.
Shit.
"You two, out of the class, NOW!" Mr. O'Brien orders and I look at my teacher with an apologetical look, getting up from my seat along with Zayn.
"Look bro, calm down." Zayn says to Mr. O'Brien. Wait-what? Is he in his senses? He's calling our History teacher 'Bro' as if they both are best friends or something. Sometimes I think that he lacks of brain. I give him a look and that's when it hits him what he did. He looks at our teacher, nervously, only to receive a furious look from him in return.
"No, I didn't mean to call you bro. I mean you're my Dad's age so you're like his bro and Fuck this is not making any sense." He shifts on his legs, as we both are standing awkwardly in the class with all the eyes on us.
"Are you quiet done with it Mr. Malik?!" Our teacher yells at him and Zayn sighs. I bite my lip nervously, shifting my gazes between Zayn and my teacher, from time to time.
"Dude, relax." Zayn says and I smack my forehead. He. Is. Nuts. Where have I gotten myself into?
I hear some laughs from the students sitting beside us, which catches Mr. O'Brien's attention and he pounds his fist on the table, making a loud bang. I'm going to kill Zayn if he lets out one more rubbish word.
"DETENTION, you both!" He yells on top of his lungs, making everyone flinch except Zayn. If Hulk had a brother, my teacher would be him right now.
"What the fuck dude?" Zayn exclaims, which makes Mr. O'Brien's eyes widen.
"This is so not the right time to show off your bad boy skills. Shut up or this Hulk will kill us!" I whisper in his ear but he shrugs me off, making me groan. He's going to get himself in trouble as well as me too. I look at our teacher who has a furious look, then back at Zayn who has an irritated look.
"DETENTION after school. Get out both of you, NOW!" He yells and we quickly pick up our books and bags, exchanging glares. As we quickly walk out of the class, we hear some students laugh behind us.
"What the hell was that? We got detention!" I yell at him as soon as we get out of our class.
"Yesterday, you got us out of the car, and now you got us out of the class." He complains and I stare at him with my mouth open. So he's blaming me for that?
"Excuse me? It wasn't my fault. I got freaking detention for the first time because of you!" I snap and he immitates me, making me smack him on the back of his head.
We walk together in the hallways, continously bickering with each other, when after a while we hear the bell ring and the hallway becomes crowded again.
"Hey, Mel!" Louis comes and hug me from behind, kissing my cheek. I turn over to face him, pecking his cheek.
"How was your class?" He asks me and I glare at Zayn, who's eyes are fixed on Louis and I.
"She got detention after school along with Zayn." I hear Niall's voice along with a chortle. He soon joins us and I give him a confused look, asking how does he know that.
"You and Zayn are currently famous in the whole hallways. I heard some girls of your History class talking, when I was coming here." He laughs and I groan, looking at Zayn who rolls his eyes at me.
"What did you two do?" Louis asks us and I shrug it off.
"How was your class?" I ask Louis.
"He slept in the class," Liam says, joining our conversation and playfully smack Zayn on his head.
"Could you and Harry stop dozzing off in the middle of your classes?" I laugh at him and he entwines his hand with mine, pulling me to our next class, Chemistry.
"I won't sleep in this one, because you're with me." He says and smile at me. I slightly tilt my head while walking, to look at Zayn who keeps on staring at us from behind.
I turn my head back and look at Louis. "Can I tell you something?" I ask him and he nods. We enter our class and take seats next to each other. I have to tell him about my and Zayn's kiss. I can't live with the guilt of cheating on him. What I'm doing is wrong.
"I'm sorry, I know you'll get mad at me but..but it's your right to be mad." I say and he looks at me confusingly.
"I won't get mad at you. Tell me, what's wrong?" He says, chuckling a bit and I lower my head, fiddling with my fingers.
"I ki-" before I can complete my sentence, our teachers speaks up.
"Silence in the class." He orders and I sigh before nodding. The whole time, I tried to talk to him but the teacher kept glaring at us. I stay quiet because one detention is enough for me.
Half of the day passes with I being annoyed by Mr. Know it all, who is in some of my classes. Also, I had few classes with Eleanor and Sophia. Who seem to be really sweet and kind. I walk my way to the cafeteria only to find Eleanor and Sophia looking for something.
"Hey, are you guys looking for someone?" I ask them. They smile at me and shake their heads.
"No, we were looking for empty chairs. The cafeteria is pretty much full." Eleanor says.
"You both can sit with me and my friends. I'm pretty sure they'll like you." I smile at her and they exchange looks with each other.
"Are you sure? We don't want to disturb you." Sophia says and I let out a laugh shaking my head.
"Okay, thank you. You're really sweet, Melanie." Eleanor says, walking beside me and I laugh, leading them to our table.
I introduce both of them to Waliyha, Hazel and Lottie as soon as we reach our table, and they had already met them in some of their classes so they got along easily at the table.
I look around for my phone, when I feel someone's hand covering my eyes, from behind.
"Louis, I know it's you." I say and hear a squeal from him, which makes every one laugh.
He settles beside me, when his eyes land on the two girls sitting in front of us.
"Louis, this is-" before I can introduce Eleanor to him, he interupts me.
"Eleanor," he completes my sentence. I look at him confusingly and he smiles at her.
"You guys know each other?" I ask him, taking a bite of my sandwich.
"We have a class together, I just met her today." He says, smiling and I nod.
"Well, this is Sophia, and Sophia, this is Louis, Lottie's brother and my boyfriend." I introduce them.
Soon I feel someone smack the back of my head, and I gasp, turning around to see Harry smirking. I expected it to be Zayn but he wasn't. Before I can smack him back, he dodges me and settles beside Hazel, laughing along with Niall.
"Um..Mel, Nolan..he..uh died and that other guy got arrested." Louis informs me and I gasp. I don't know why, but tears begin to escape from my eyes and the flashbacks of that terrible night hit me. Louis quickly wrap his arms around me and I slightly sob in his arms. I didn't want anyone to get hurt. Although Nolan never behaved good, but I still didn't want him to die like this. Aiden shot his cousin because of me and got arrested. I ruined everything. I just ruin everything all the time.
"Hey, stop crying. I'll tell you a joke." Harry says and everyone groans except me.
After a while I stop crying and Harry tries to cheer me up with his stupid jokes on which only Niall laughed and I slightly smiled. I turn my attention to Liam who whispers something in my ear.
"Who is she?" Liam whispers and I look at him, confusingly. He signals towards Sophia and I slightly laugh at him.
"That's Sophia, she's new here." I whisper back and he nods, biting his lip.
"Why?" I ask, and he chuckles at me.
"She's pretty." He whispers, smiling and I chuckle.
"Introduce yourself to her," I tell him and he looks at me, raising his eye brow. I groan and call out for Sophia, making Liam's mouth wide open.
I introduce both of them and they soon engage in their conversation. I slightly smile to myself and turn my attention back to Louis, finding him busy talking to Eleanor. Every one seems to be busy in their own conversations, I sigh and look around for him. My eyes search the whole cafeteria, having no sign of him.
"He's in the toilet, smoking." Liam whispers in my ear and I look up at him. How does he know I was looking for Zayn?
"I'll be back in some time." I say, standing up from my seat.
"Everything alright?" Louis asks me and I bend down to kiss his cheek.
"Toilet." I say and he nods.
I quickly leave the cafeteria, and make my way to boys toilet. I stand outside the boys toilet, awkwardly, receiving weird stares and glares from some boys around. I bite my lip, deciding what should I do. Suddenly the door opens and I see my class mate of History.
"Joseph, is Zayn inside?" I ask him and he nods. I tell him to call Zayn out, and he goes inside to give my message to Zayn. I feel really uncomfortable here, receiving stares from the boys. I think I should go back. I turn around to leave when I hear his voice.
"Nerdy, what are you doing here?" I hear him from behind, and quickly turn around to see a lit cigarrete in his hand.
"Can I talk to you?" I ask him and he glares at me. He sighs and throws his cigarrete in the trash can, walking towards me.
"How many times do I have to stop you from smoking?" I spat at him, as soon as we reach the hallway.
"And how many times do I have to tell you to stop bugging me?" He says and I take a deep breathe, trying to control my anger.
"This is not the answer of my question." I snap and he rolls his eyes at me.
"If you called me here for fighting, then I'm not interested. Go fight with your boyfriend." He says and turns around to leave but I grab his hand and pull him back.
"It's not good for your health, stop it please." I say in a calm tone than before. In actuall, I shouldn't be worried about his health, and let him do whatever he wants, but I can't.
"You're saying as if you care." He says and gives out a sarcastic chuckle. He again rolls his eyes, without making eye contact with me. He's back to being his jerk self.
"I do care, I freaking care for you!" I raise my voice at him and he turns his face to look at me.
"Don't. Because I am no one to you and never will be!" He yells at me, and storms off from the hallway. I stand there watching his figure leave the hallway as a tear escapes from my eyes. I know his words are nothing but the truth. But I wish these words can change.
