Tori kept her eyes on Niall as he talked to the table about the soccer game. She wants to talk to him, but she doesn't know what to say to the lad.

"I just can't wait." Niall said, excitedly.

"Me too." Tori agreed. "So after the game do you want to go out and eat?"

"Yeah, sounds great. What do you guys think?" He asked the table and they all agreed making Tori frown.

She just want to be alone with the lad.

Harry came back to the table pulling Ariana's wrist. They all gave him questioning looks.

"She just got lost finding the bathroom." He lied as they both sat down at the table.

"Did you really get lost finding the bathroom?" Justin asked Ariana in a whisper so only they can hear.

"No. He saw me talking to Zayn. I don't know why he doesn't want me to talk to him. At least Zayn gave me his number." She pulled out Zayn's drawing from her pocket and unfolded it.

"Do you still have my number?"

"No. I got a new phone 2 months after you moved and lost all my contacts."

"Let me see your phone, I'm gonna put my number in." He put his hand out and Ariana handed him her phone.

He typed in his number and gave her her phone back.

She read the contact name he put in.

"Best friend?" She looked up from her phone.

"We're still best friends right?" He smiled.

She smiled back and nodded.

Today Ariana met old and new faces. She went outside with Selena, Tori, and Demi to the soccer field. They sat on the bleachers and watched the team warming up for their game. Ariana spotted Zayn, not knowing he was on the team. Justin saw her from the field and gave her a smile as he waved. She smiled and waved back.

The game started and Selena kept her eye on Harry while Tori kept her eye on Niall. So far the game was getting intense and it's a tie. Louis kicked the ball to Zayn. Players from the other team tried to steal the ball, but he kicked the ball into the goal. Everyone stood up from the bleachers and cheered for the team. The girls ran onto the field to meet up with the boys.

"You did great out there." Selena walked towards Justin.

He opened his arms out for a hug, but she walked passed him. He turned around and she was hugging Harry which made him frown.

"Congrats!" Ariana attacked him with a hug and his frown turned into a smile.

"Thanks." He hugged her back.

"Anybody up for pizza at my house?" Harry asked his friends and they all agreed.

Ariana saw Zayn went inside. She followed his trail which leads to the boy's locker room. She opened the door and stepped in. She saw him taking off his soccer jersey, revealing his tattoos.

He startled at her presence. "What are you doing here?"

"Whoa you have a lot of tattoos." She ignored his question, observing his tattoos. Then she snapped out of her thoughts, realizing what she said. "I mean...I just wanted to know if everything's alright, because you went inside."

"I'm fine." He said, putting on a shirt.

"Well we're going to have pizza at my house, are you coming?"

"I can't, I have to help my mom with dinner."

"Ok, then I'll see you tomorrow." She was about to leave, but he pulled her arm.  

"Text me." He said, before leaving the locker room.

She smiled to herself and went back outside to meet up with her friends.

"Where were you?" Selena asked. "We were about to get pizza, but we didn't want to leave without you."

"Oh uh...I had to get something from my locker." She lied.

"Well come on." Selena walked to the parking lot with the group and Ariana followed along.

Robert and Joan were at work so the teens have the house to themselves. They were all sitting at the dinning table, eating  their pizza. Ariana sent Zayn a text, hoping he'll reply.

Justin was looking over at Selena who was giggling while Harry was talking to her. He couldn't stand looking at them flirt so he moved to the living room. Ariana can tell something was up, so she went after him.

"What's wrong?" She sat next to him on the couch.

"Your stepbrother." He frowned and Ariana looked at Harry who is making Selena giggle.

"You like Selena?" She asked.

"Yeah, but she doesn't seem to be interested in me." He shook his head.

"There's plenty of girls out there." She put her hand on top of his, trying to cheer him up.

He looked at her hand, and looked back up at her.

"If she doesn't see how much of an amazing guy you are then other girls will." She told him and he just looked into her eyes.

Then they heard a buzz coming from her phone. It was a text from Zayn.

Zayn: Hey did you save me a slice? Haha :)

An idea popped into Ariana's head.

"My mom wants me to get something from the store." Ariana lied as she got up.

"Can I come?" He asked, getting up as well.

"No, it's ok." She went to get a slice of pizza and left the house.

Justin furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, wondering why she brought a slice of pizza with her.

Selena and Harry's conversation was interrupted by Harry's phone ringing. He looked at his phone to see who's calling and a huge smile was on his face.

"I gotta take this." He told Selena, walking to the kitchen so he can be alone.

She tried to eavesdrop, to see who's on the phone with him.

"Hey, babe." He answered the phone.

Her face dropped when she heard the word "babe." She didn't know that he was taken. 

Tori noticed Demi didn't eat at all. She was just sitting at the dinning table, scrolling through her phone.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Tori asked, pointing at the pizza boxes.

"I'm not hungry." Demi shook her head.

Tori raised her eyebrow, but shrugged it off and continued to listen to Niall, Liam, and Louis's conversation.

"Like I'm flunking math and if I don't get my grades up the coach won't make me play the next game." Niall told the lads.

"I can tutor you." Tori blurted out. "I'm good at math."

"How about we meet up by the library after school tomorrow?" He suggested.

"Sure." She nodded, excited for tomorrow.

Ariana was standing in front of Zayn's house with a plate of pizza in her hands. She remembered her way to his house from this morning. She pressed the doorbell and Zayn opened the door. He was surprised to see her.

"I saved you a slice." She smirked, handing him the plate of pizza.

"You didn't have to come all this way to give me a slice of pizza you know?" He chuckled.

"I know, but I want to." She smiled.

"Or you were hoping to see me shirtless again?" He teased and her cheeks flushed.

"Zayn, who's at the door?" His mom, Trisha walked over to him. She looked at Ariana. "Oh, Hello."

"Hello, you must be his mom. I'm Ariana." Ariana gave her a polite smile.

Trisha got a good vibe from her.

"We're about to have dinner, would you like to join us?" Trisha asked.

Ariana looked at Zayn and he nodded.

"Ok." She said, before stepping inside.
