Sophia's POV

I heard the 'beep' sound of the microwave and realized that my chicken popcorn is ready.

By ready, I mean they were kept in the fridge so now they were quite hot to eat.

Who can compete with Kentucky Fried Chicken?

Definitely. No one.

I jumped from the couch and ran straight to the kitchen.

Taking out the bowl from the microwave I stuffed one popcorn in my mouth.

Heaven!

"Sophia....you didn't tell me about that. Do you want to share something with me, sweetie?" My mom asked whilst she texted on her phone.

I knew what she was talking about.
VERY WELL.

"Mom. Let me clear this okay? He's just my friend. Just friend. Nothing more than that." I defended myself.

To me saying 'he isn't my boyfriend' is a habit now.

"Yeah..after all he's with Hailey. They make an adorable couple I swear." Josh popped in the kitchen from nowhere while he chewed his bubble gum.

"Hey!!I also want to eat that!!" He frowned.

An evil laugh escaped my mouth.

"Well.. I'm just a tiny little pussy cat. Look boy, now this pussy will not give you anything. Oh, by anything I mean KFC Chicken popcorn." I said sarcastically.

I didn't realized when I was saying this he had already taken a fist size of them.

My bad!

" Really? How do you know that.?" Mom asked returning to the topic of Hailey and James.

I sighed and rolled my eyes.
Next, I stomped towards my room.

I heard the faint talks of mom and Josh coming from the kitchen.

"Omg. I'm gonna text Hailey right now. I'm so happy for her."

Yup. My mom is really an over excited person. Since childhood she had treated Hailey too as her own child.

And she's always eager to know about everyone's relationship status.

My mom doesn't even know that the reason she's so happy for, made me cry for two freaking nights.

"I think after 2-3 days they'll be celebrating their 2 month anniversary." It was Josh.

"OMG... I'm so happy!!!!!!"

Yup. A lot of time passed after that incident and I think I'm better than before. I don't think about him anymore. I don't daydream about him anymore. I don't feel BAD seeing James and Hailey together.

I'm fine now.

I opened the door of my room and........

the plastic bowl which was full of chicken popcorn was now lying on the floor and after a loud scream from my mouth my hands made their way to my mouth.

It was a boy.

Sitting on my bed.
I was able to see the back.
A black shirt.
The perfect muscles of his back were slightly visible because of the tight shirt.
He looked freaking hot!

He then turned around.

He was sitting on my bed!
Yes. You got that right.

ZAYN PARKER.

"Hey.. Sophia.! What's up?" He asked so freaking casually.

"Why on earth you're sitting on my bed? And eating my skittles.?" I think this was the moment of my life when I should have received the medal for 'tearing vocal cords'.

"Sophia. What happened? Are you alright?" I heard footsteps approaching.

Shit.
Mom should not see this.
I mean first she had the thought in her mind that me and James are a thing.

And now, if she'll see me with Zayn that would be so demeaning.

I quickly closed the door of my room and went towards mom. I told her that I just tripped over myself and when she asked why I shouted that 'why on earth you're sitting here....' I told her that I was just playing a scene from a movie.

That worked.

I had to lie to her. Like no other option left.

I quickly picked up all the chicken popcorn and rushed downstairs, wrapping them in a tissue paper, I kept them on the kitchen counter top.

Ah, so much work.

I groaned in frustration.
After so long I got to eat these 'KFC chicken popcorn' but everything ruined.

I drank cold water and sat on the dining table.

What should I do of this chicken popcorn?

What could an animal lover do of the chicken popcorn that wasn't eat able anymore?

Well...yes...
I'm gonna feed them to the cute puppies that live in the nearby park.

I so love dogs and cats.

Specially cats. But my mom has Ailurophobia so......my bad!

So whenever I feel like playing with them I just go to the nearby park. Usually there are no cats but puppies.

Maybe I should go for a morning walk tomorrow?

Yup. That would be better.

I started searching pics of cute kittens on Google.

I got so engrossed in surfing that I utterly forgot something crucial which happened just a while ago.

Zayn is still in my room!
