How is the new cover?

Malory's POV:

One word for yesterday's detention: Horrible. Our coach announced to all the students in our school to jumble up the chairs in every classroom when they leave. Then he came to us with a big grin on his face announcing that we have to arrange all the chairs in each and every class with a "HA HA HA!" at the end. I swear he hates us. Sure, it must sound easy but it's NOT when you have a hundred freaking classes in your school!

I never even noticed that our school was so big until I had to arrange each and every chair of hundred classes. Who the hell has a hundred classes in their school? What is this, freaking Hogwarts?

I also think that instead of making Paige fall in love with Zayn, I made Max fall for him. He kept staring at Zayn from the corner of his eyes whenever he could. He would also go around helping Zayn, doing most of his work as he frequently kept smiling at him. Zayn, on the other hand, oblivious to what was happening, was generally sweet to Max. Which might have made Max fall for him even more and I couldn't stop laughing at that because Zayn was so oblivious.

Louis, on the other hand, kept on shooting death glares at me which he got in return as well. At one point we were about to start a fight and rip each other's hair off, but the coach made Louis and Harry shift to another class. That made my life a little better but not going to lie, it got boring after that as I did not have anyone to throw my insults at or hear any in return. So the rest of the time I just watched Max trying to flirt with Zayn who kept being sweet to him in return.

Due to yesterday's detention that took our whole day, Paige, Zayn and I could not go to the movies. So we decided to re-arrange it for today.

"So what happened to Mark?" I ask Paige, stuffing a handful of popcorn in my mouth. Be it, teenagers, old couples or families, I am constantly earning dirty looks from people around me as I hungrily stuff my mouth with popcorn and cola before even entering the cinema room. I am not the person who could wait until I sit in front of the screen and eat the popcorn. I start shoving it into my mouth as soon as I get it in my hands, which results in the popcorn finishing after five beginning minutes of the movie.

"He's usually drunk when I call him or even when he calls me," Paige says with her eyebrows knitted together and lips in a pout. "So I stopped talking to him, I found it a bit weird." She grasps the popcorn from my hand and puts it in her mouth. Her words ignite a spark in me and I look at her with my eyes wide.

"So you're over him now?" I ask with joy that is taking over me right now. She nods her head and I smile to myself in relief, earning a confused look from her.

God knows what I must have done to get Mark out of the picture. So it happened on its own.

Maybe the universe didn't want Mark to die yet, so it removed Mark from Paige's life on its own.

"What is up with this creepy smile?" She asks as she grabs the popcorn box from my hands and starts eating it.

"No, I mean I'm just glad that you can be with other boys now, other good boys or hot boys or bad boys-" I awkwardly start to blabber, making Paige squint her eyes at me, before she cuts off my sentence, ignoring my blabbering. I am actually thankful that she stopped me.

"Bad guys like Zayn," she interrupts and a light smile starts appearing on her face as she looks up at me. A sigh comes out of my mouth when she mentions Zayn's name and cuts off my sentence. I don't even know what I was saying. "Talking about Zayn, where is he? Why is he not here yet?"

Just when I am about to answer her, a black heavy bike stops in the parking area and a figure hops out of it, removing the helmet from his face. A light gasp comes out of Paige's mouth when her eyes land on Zayn who is locking his helmet with his bike. My eyes widen as I try to take in his bike's appearance, completely ignoring Zayn.

Just to put it out there, I did not help him purchase this thing!

"Oh my god, he looks so hot riding that," Paige says in a completely astonished tone.  The popcorns which were about to pop into her mouth, drop from her hands making my eyes widen at her. How dare she waste the popcorns which could have gone in my mouth!

"You can ride me if you want," A comment rolls off from a male voice from behind, making Paige and I turn our attention towards the source. A bunch of teenage boys of our age laugh as they stare and wink at Paige. Her eyebrows knit together and a scowl forms on her face as a reaction. I step forward looking straight into the boy's eyes.

"Why would she want to ride a sloppy Popsicle?" My response in a very calm and challenging tone causes a bunch of "oooh" and "shit" from the boys who were previously laughing. The boy who I had addressed looks at me with a frown which soon turns into a furious look. He shows me a middle finger, making me laugh as he angrily walks away with his friends. I look over at Paige who has a smile on her face as she shakes her head at me.

"Always the saviour, huh Mal?" She smiles.

I give out a chuckle, shrugging my shoulders when I move my eyes towards Zayn's direction. He is wearing a black biker jacket, fitted black jeans and a black t-shirt. He takes out a pair of black sunglasses from his pockets as he casually wears them and makes his way towards us.

Why is everything so black? I am not sure if he wants to audition as a bad boy or a vampire.

But I have to admit he looks a little attractive.  Actually a little more. But I'm not telling him that because I don't want him to go over his head.

"Ready to go?" Zayn's voice cuts off my chain of bizarre thoughts when I hear Paige mutter a 'yes' from beside me. I look up at Zayn to find him talking to Paige who has a smile on her face. A smile forms on Zayn's lips as he looks at her, not acknowledging the fact that I am also standing next to her. They both turn their bodies towards the opposite side as they begin to walk towards the cinema, smiling at each other. I feel my eyebrows knitting together and my lower lip going inside my mouth as I bite it, watching both of them-mostly Zayn walk away. I feel a very strange feeling in the pit of my stomach which I try to push away. He must be too smitten by Paige's smile to notice that I was also there. It's okay Malory, I reassure myself and shake my train of thoughts, running behind to quickly join them.

"Hi," I hear Zayn whisper from next to me. I look up at him and mumble a "Hi," back, quickly looking away as we enter the cinema and take our seats. Zayn sits in the middle with Paige and I on either sides of him.

The movie is yet to start so Paige decides to talk to Zayn. "How come I never saw you before in school?" She asks loud enough for me to hear, a strand of strawberry blonde hair is twirling between her fingers as she looks over at Zayn with a light smile. She is trying to flirt, I wonder how Zayn is feeling right no-

"I think that's your concern, not mine," I spit out the cola from my mouth as a sudden reaction to Zayn's response. My head turns towards Zayn with a jerk as I look at him in disbelief.

I did not train him to be like this!

Alright, maybe I'm rubbing off on him. He has just started spending time with me and he is already becoming another version of me?

"My head! What do you think you're doing?!" I hear a bald man shriek from the front seats, making all three of us to quickly turn our attention towards him. He has droplets of cola on his head which I must have spit on him accidentally.

"I'm so sorry, that was a shock reflex!" I pull up my hands in front of me in defence as I genuinely apologise to the angry bald man in front of me. He grunts, groans, scowls and shoots death glares at me before wiping his head and finally turning back to the screen.

"What was that?!" I aggressively whisper to Zayn, pulling him closer to me from the collars of his jacket.

"You told me bad boys are rude, I thought she would like it!" He whispers back, knitting his eyebrows together in worry.

I leave his collars and facepalm myself with one hand and push him back to his seat with the other one.

"Did you mind what I said earlier?" I hear Zayn ask Paige.

"Not at all. I had expected you to have an attitude because of being..a bad..boy.." Paige says as she slowly speaks her last words with pauses and even low in volume. She squints her eyes as she looks at Zayn for a response.

"A bad boy huh?" He says with a smirk appearing on his face. "How am I a bad boy?"

"You surely dress up like one.  You have an attitude-"

He doesn't.

"You ride a heavy bike-"

I have no idea where that suddenly came from.

"You probably hate everyone-"

He doesn't, but I do.

"You must have dated tons of girls before and you definitely have a tattoo," she completes her sentence.

No, he doesn't.

"Yes, I do," I hear Zayn's voice, making me spit the popcorn from my mouth this time.

My eyes widen when I realize where my popcorn landed. An angry bald head with popcorns on top turns slowly towards me from the front seat and my heart starts pounding in my chest with my breath fastening.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

And this is the last sentence we hear before getting thrown out of the cinema by the guards.
