Chapter 20
Harry, Niall, Liam, and Louis entered the cafeteria and saw Justin, Selena and Tori sitting at their table.
"Where's Ariana and Zayn?" Harry asked them as he sat next to his girlfriend.
"They have detention for talking during a test." Selena answered.
"Why would they talk?" Harry furrowed his eyebrows and Selena shrugged in response.
"You both are close with Demi, right?" Liam asked the girls.
"Yeah, why?" Tori asked back.
"Do you know why she asked Niall to be her date to the carnival?"
"Um, I don't know..."
"It's just strange how she never showed interest in him, but she asked him to be her date to the carnival out of no where, then she doesn't show up the next day."
"I'm not trying to sound rude, but why do you care?" Selena asked Liam, curiously.
"Because he has a thing for her." Niall answered for him.
Selena and Tori both exchange looks, then they looked at Liam.
"Does that mean you were her secret admire?" Tori raised her eyebrows.
"That's so cute!" Selena cooed.
Liam rolled his eyes, becoming impatient. "So are you guys gonna answer my question or not?"
Selena looked at the curly haired blonde, wanting her to explain.
Tori was nervous, not knowing what to say. She doesn't want to tell the truth, because she's afraid that she'll humiliate herself after Niall finds out about her crush on him.
"I really don't know how Demi feels about Niall." She half lied.
She didn't tell him the reason, but she did saw Demi getting close with him.
"I think she likes me, but there's something in the way. It seems like she enjoyed it when we kissed." Niall said, confused.
Tori frowned. She didn't know that he was serious when he said that at the carnival. That made her wonder why her own friend would do that to her.
"I'll try to stop by her house after school." Selena told Niall.
"I'm in a mood for McDonalds." Louis blurted out, randomly.
"Me too." Harry agreed. "Anyone wanna come?"
"Me!" Niall raised his hand. "Even though I don't have money."
"It's fine, I'll pay for you." Harry said, making the blonde boy cheer.
"I don't feel like going, so can you get me a strawberry banana smoothie?" Selena asked her boyfriend.
"Sure." He smiled, then he looked at the chocolate eyed boy. "What about you?"
"Yeah, I'll come with you guys." Liam nodded.
Then the curly haired boy looked at Justin to see if he wants to join, and he shook his head in response.
"Ok, we'll be back." Harry told Selena, Tori, and Justin.
The boys got up from the table and left the cafeteria.
In the meantime, Ariana and Zayn were still in detention. Mr. Price still didn't come back yet, and they were both completely bored.
Zayn was tapping his foot, impatiently. Too much was on his mind, and he was craving nicotine.
"Ok, I'm out." He stood up from his seat.
"You can't leave." The little brunette told him. "You could probably get suspended."
"For not serving detention when the teacher isn't here?" He chuckled.
"He's gonna come back." She said.
"By the time he comes back, lunch would be over. He'll be too busy flirting with the other teachers to be coming back."
"You can't just make me serve detention alone, that's not fair."
"You wanna come with me?"
"No, what if we get caught?"
"We won't, now are you coming or not?"
Ariana responded by standing up from her seat. They both left the class together and walked down the hall.
Zayn pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, accidentally dropping it. Ariana was walking a little ahead as he bent down to pick it up. He looked up and noticed a small stain on her butt.
"Um, Ariana." He spoke, making her stop.
"Yes?" She turned around.
"Um, there's a stain on your jeans." He said, awkwardly.
She looked down at her jeans and see no stain. "Where?"
"On your butt..." He looked down, feeling embarrassed that he told her.
"Are you serious?" She frowned as she tried to cover her butt with her hands.
"Yeah, but don't you keep an extra pair of pants in your locker of something?" He asked.
"Yeah, but my locker is all the way down there." She pointed down the hall. "I can't make it without people noticing."
"I'll help you get there. Just turn around." He told her and she obliged. He closely got behind her and put his hands on her shoulders. "Now walk."
She smiled, knowing that no one is going to notice. Once they got to her locker she opened it.
"This doesn't even match my outfit." She pulled out her gym sweats.
"So? You look good in anything." He shrugged, cheering her up.
"Thanks for helping me." She smiled. "That was totally embarrassing."
"Anytime." He smiled back.
"I thought you would be like ew." She chuckled.
"Never. I grew up in a house full of girls, so I understand what you all go through. Now let's get you to the bathroom." He said as he got behind her.
After they made it to the bathroom, she went in quickly and he went outside to take a smoke.
She saw the blonde girl with Jade, Leigh Anne, and Jesy at the sink.
They all looked at her. She ignored them and went in an empty stall to change.
"Can't you believe Selena just took my man? She always get with my exes." Jade told her friends as she puts on mascara.
Ariana can't help but eavesdrop since they mentioned her friend's name.
"I don't get it, you're way prettier than her. She has a baby face." Jesy responded.
When Ariana heard that she rolled her eyes.
"Whatever. She can have my left overs, I don't need them. So what about you, Perrie? What's up with you and Zayn." Jade asked the blonde haired girl who's applying lipstick.
Ariana raised an eyebrow once she heard the blonde girl's name. She became slightly more interested in the conversation.
"He improved a lot." Perrie smiled.
"Improved?" Ariana said to herself, confused.
"I don't know if it's me, but that girl been in there for a long time." Leigh Anne pointed out.
Ariana realized they were referring to her. She stayed silent, not knowing what to do.
"She's probably taking a number 2." Jesy laughed.
"A person should never do that in school, that's just gross." Jade cringed.
That ticked Ariana off.
"I'm actually changing my pants." She snapped as she came out of the stall.
"Were you eavesdropping?" Jade crossed her arms.
"So what if I did?" Ariana put her hands on her hips.
"Looks like we have a nosy little bitch in our school, and it's the newbie." Jesy laughed, bitterly.
They all left the bathroom leaving Ariana with a frown on her face.

Harry pulled up to the McDonalds drive thru.
"Welcome to McDonalds, may I take your order?" The male worker asked through the speaker.
"Yes I would like-"
"I would like one happy meal for my baby boy, please!" Louis interrupted Harry, making Niall and Liam laugh.
"Anything else?" The worker asked.
"Can you scratch that please?" Harry asked him, politely. "I would like four cheese burgers, two large fries, four medium Pepsis, and one medium strawberry banana smoothie."
"Is that all?" The worker asked.
"Yes."
The worker told him his total and they drove to the first window. He handed the worker the money and then moved to the second window.
"Isn't your dad's wedding next week?" Liam asked Harry, as they wait for their order.
"Yeah, I have to buy tuxes after soccer practice." Harry answered.
"I need one too. Do you know the theme for the wedding?" Niall asked.
"I'm not sure, but I'll let you guys know once I find out." Harry responded.
"Here you go, sir." The worker handed Harry his order through the window.
"Thanks." The curly haired boy handed the bag of food to Niall and Liam for them to hold.
Then he drove back to the school. When they got there, they saw Zayn leaning against the brick wall, smoking.
"I thought you had detention." Harry walked over to the dark haired boy with the others.
"The teacher went to the teacher's lounge so Ariana and I left." Zayn shrugged as he threw the cigarette on the ground, before stomping on it.
"Well we just went to McDonalds. I could've got you something, but I didn't know that you would get out of detention." Harry pointed at Niall and Liam who are carrying the food and drinks.
"It's alright, I'm not that hungry anyways." Zayn shrugged. "Let's go in, yeah?"
They all went inside to the cafeteria and sat at their table. Zayn was expecting Ariana to be there, but she wasn't.
"Here's your smoothie, babe." Harry handed Selena her smoothie.
"Thanks." Selena smiled, before taking a sip.
Harry, Niall, Liam, and Louis began to eat their cheeseburgers and fries. Justin kept staring at Zayn, wondering why he's not in detention.
The dark haired boy noticed. "What?"
"Don't you have detention?" Justin furrowed his eyebrows.
"Ariana and I left." Zayn shrugged, not caring about the look on Justin's face.
"Ariana isn't the type of person who breaks the rules." Justin shook his head, not believing that Ariana left with Zayn.
"Well she did."
"Then where is she?"
"I'm not sure."
"Why were you guys talking during a test?"
"I asked for a pencil."
"Why didn't you have a pencil?"
Zayn was getting annoyed with all the questions. He felt like he is being interrogated.
"Why do you care? Are you a cop?" Zayn asked, irritated.
"Hey, guys." Ariana walked over to the table.
"Hey, babe." Justin pulled her onto his lap. "Why did you leave detention?"
"The teacher went to the teacher's lounge and never came back." She answered.
"Well I'm just happy you're here." He smiled before placing a kiss on her lips.
Zayn felt a pang of jealousy, but didn't let it get to him.
