Ariana was sitting next to Zayn at the dinner table. His mom and his two younger sisters were sitting across from them. They were all eating spaghetti.

"This is Waliyha." Zayn pointed at one of his sisters. "And this is Safaa." He pointed at his other sister who is the youngest.

"You're really pretty!" Safaa blurted out.

"Thanks." Ariana smiled at her.

Trisha noticed Ariana wasn't eating the meatballs.

"You don't like the meatballs?" Trisha asked.

"I'm trying to be vegan." Ariana told her and she nodded.

After dinner Trisha went to clean the dishes and Ariana went to help her.

"You don't have to help, you're my guest." Trisha said, scrubbing the dishes with a sponge.

"I want to help." Ariana said, as she finished cleaning the last dish.

"Do you need help with anything else, Mrs. Malik?" She asked.

"No I got it, and call me Trisha." Trisha gave her a smile.

"Ok, well I gotta get going now." She said.

"I'll walk you home." Zayn offered as he walked to the door and she followed him.

He grabbed his hoodie before they both left the house. They were walking in the dark, breezy night. He noticed that Ariana was shivering so he took off his hoodie and handed it to her. She thanked him and put on the oversize hoodie. She can smell his strong cologne on it.

A couple minutes passed by and they arrived at her house. They both stopped at her front door.

"Thanks for letting me stay for dinner, and thanks again for letting me wear your hoodie." She took off his hoodie and gave it back to him.

"Anytime and goodnight. I'll see you tomorrow." He smiled, before walking back to his house.

She smiled as she watched him walk down the street. Then she used her keys to open the door. When she got inside, Harry was sitting on the couch, sipping on tea like he was waiting for her.

"Where were you?" He asked, bluntly.

"I was at the store." She lied.

"Bullshit." He stood up. "I can smell Zayn's cologne from here, I'm not stupid."

"Ok, I was at his house. So what?"

"So what? I told you to stay away from him!"

"Why? You didn't tell me to stay away from your other friends. How come you want me to stay away from Zayn?"

"They barely talk to you and he's my best mate."

"If he was your best mate you would let him be friends with whoever he wants. You're acting like a jealous girlfriend."

"I want you to stay away from him because you're not family to me." He said, before going upstairs to his room.

Ariana doesn't want her stepbrother to hate her even more, so she's going to do what he says. Which is to stay away from Zayn.

Demi opened her locker and found another note from her secret admire. She still doesn't know who it is and she wants to find out.

Selena was watching Harry from her locker. He was talking to Jade, a girl from her history class. That's the girl he was talking to on the phone yesterday. When Jade pecked his lips that made Selena furious.

"Is everything ok?" Tori walked over to her angry friend.

Selena slammed her locker in response. Tori looked over to Harry who had his arms wrapped around Jade's waist.

"Isn't she from our history class?" She asked.

"Yeah, I can't believe they are dating." Selena cringed at the couple.

Ariana and Zayn were sitting in their seats from yesterday.

"Hey." He smiled at her and she didn't respond.

Justin came in and sat next to Ariana.

"So how come you never came back from the store yesterday? I was getting worried." He asked her.

"I had to get a lot of stuff." Ariana lied and Zayn had a confused look on his face.

Selena entered the room with Tori and they both sat in their seats.

"Hey." Ariana said to them.

"Hey." Selena and Tori both said.

Selena saw Jade entering the room and she glared at her.

"Selena, you dropped your pencil." Justin told her as he picked up her pencil from the floor and handed it to her.

Selena turned around and she got an idea just by looking at him.

"Thanks. Do you want to hangout sometime?" She asked.

Justin was surprised at her question.

"Yeah!" He said with excitement.

"Meet me by my locker after school." She told him before turning back around.

Ariana was confused on what just happened.

"What was that?" Tori whispered to Selena.

"It's apart of the plan." Selena told her.

"What plan?"

"To make Harry jealous."

***

After school Justin met Selena at her locker like she told him to.

"I was thinking we should see a movie." She said as they both went outside.

"Ok." He agreed.

Tori was at the library with Niall, helping him with his homework.

"What's the derivative of this problem?" She asked him, pointing at the last problem in his notebook.

"I don't know." The blonde boy shrugged.

"Just try." She told him.

He tried to solve the problem and when he was done he showed her the answer.

"You got it right." She smiled at him.

"Finally, we're done." He closed his notebook and put it in his backpack.

"Thanks for helping me. Can we do this again tomorrow?"

"Sure, I can help you everyday if you want?" She offered as they both got up from their seats.

"That'll be great. I'll see you tomorrow." He said, before leaving the library.

Harry was out with Jade, so Ariana was home alone. She was sitting on the couch, doing her homework. Then she heard the doorbell. She went to open the door and it was Zayn.

"Hey, can I come in?" He asked.

"Harry's not here." She told him.

"I'm actually here to see you." He said.

"Well I'm busy." She was about to close the door on him, but he stopped her.

"What is up with you? Did I do something wrong?" He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Because you have been avoiding me all day."

"Harry wants me to stay away from you." She responded.

"And you're actually going to listen to him?" He asked, and she didn't answer him.

He shook his head and walked away, making her feel bad.

"Wait!" She shouted and he turned around. "I'm sorry for avoiding you, I just don't want Harry to get mad. So do you want to come in and have tea?"

"I thought you don't want Harry to get mad?"

"Harry isn't here." She smirked.
