"And the new part of 'Fifty Shades Of Grey', which is called 'Fifty Shades Of Darker', is so awesome!" Paige screams in excitement as we enter the school hallways side by side. I roll my eyes and sigh as I listen to her.

"I was like, 'oh shit, I want to try it' but then I was like, 'nah that would be so psychotic.' But you know how fun-" she continues to blather about her obsession with the movie I don't even want to talk about. Just no. I basically block out all the information she is giving me by going through the lyrics of Justin Bieber's current famous song which is stuck in my head. But the problem is that I remember only one line of it, and that stupid line can't get out of my head that is why I try to remember the rest of that song so that my mind does not go back to taking the bizarre information my best friend is giving me.

"And Christian Grey is so ho-"

"Paige Sanders, don't you dare say that you want a guy like Christian Grey to be your boyfriend now!" I quickly stop in my tracks, glaring at my best friend. Her mouth is still open because I interrupted the sentence she was saying, so I put my fingers under her chin and shut her mouth so that I don't get to hear that she is interested in kinky guys now. I swear, I will not buy Zayn strange sex toys even if he threatens not to give me tutions anymore.

"I was saying Christian Grey is so hot but I find him really weird," she says all in one breath so that I can listen to her. My ears pick up, and I snap my head in her direction, taking in whatever she just said. I sigh in relief once I comprehend her words.

I seriously wasn't up for going sex toys shopping with Zayn.

Talk of the devil and here he comes. The doors of the school hallway open as Zayn steps inside wearing a black leather jacket, a white slim fit T-shirt which is stretching on his built-up chest, the black stud in his ear prominent as he runs a hand through his freshly cut and dyed blond quiff from the front. It suddenly feels like the world has stopped because it surely has. I look around the girls with their mouth wide open as they gasp when Zayn passes by them. It feels like I am in a cliche movie right now.

"Omg! Who is that new guy?"

"Is that our history class nerd?"

"You mean our history class hottie?"

"He looks totally ravishing!"

I smirk to myself as I watch Zayn walk through the hallways with all of the attention towards him. He looks pretty badass, I might say. And hot. This, I will not say in front of him.

"Mhmm, that's totally my new boyfriend." My head snaps in the direction from where the comment has passed. I pretty much glare at the girl drooling at Zayn and raise my eyebrow at her. She looks at me and suddenly clears her throat, looking down at the floor.

I roll my eyes and turn my head towards Paige who looks like she is traumatised. "And who the hell is that?" Paige asks, still looking at Zayn who is now standing in front of his locker, taking out some books. He has quite an audience around him but he completely ignores them and continues his work. I wonder how he is feeling with that much attention towards him. He is an introvert so I know he may or may not be struggling with all the eyes on him right now.

I quickly take out my phone as I type him a text.

To the wannabe bad boy:
Are you okay?

From the wannabe bad boy:
They're all looking at me! What do I do??????

To the wannabe bad boy:
Just act natural they're all admiring your ass

I look up at him and see him smiling as he stares at my text probably.

"That's Zayn Malik," I turn my attention towards Paige, with a grin coming over my face as I watch her completely fascinated by Zayn's entrance.

"Is he new?" She asks with her eyes still fixed on Zayn. I look at her with a dumb face.

"Paige, he's in our biology class. What's wrong with you?"

"He is?" Her head turns to me with a look of complete bewilderment all over her face. "How come I never noticed him-oh my god! He's coming over to us," her voice quickly becomes rushed as she takes in a huge breath and purses her lips together.

I turn my head and follow Paige's gaze on Zayn when he walks over to us, looking at me only. "Hi, Malory, we're still in for tonight, yeah?"

I can hear all the gasps and feel all the gazes burning through my head of every hormonal teenage girl who is probably wondering why the hot guy is talking to me.

"Yup definitely," I nod my head and look at Paige. Her eyes are bulging out as she stares at Zayn and I in astonishment.

"You can bring a friend if you want," Zayn says, smiling at me and I nod my head before he walks away completely ignoring Paige.

I turn my head towards Paige and see her in her utter shock as she watches Zayn's back. Never ever in the history of our school has it happened that a guy comes to talk to me and completely ignores Paige. She has never been ignored since the day she stepped in this school in sixth grade. She has always been the popular beautiful Paige that every guy wants and every girl wants to be best friends with.

"What. The. Hell. Was. That?" Paige asks me with her eyes still wide as she emphasises on every word slowly.

"What?" I say, completely acting normal when my phone pings with a text from Zayn.

From the wannabe bad boy:
Did I ignore her too much?? Did she say anything?

"How come he didn't even acknowledge my presence and came to talk to you-and wait a second how the hell do you know him-wait hold that! Where are you two going tonight?!" Paige almost screams being completely hyperactive, without taking breaths as she stares at me for answers.

"We're friends," I answer shrugging my shoulders as I react completely normal.

"The only friend you have is me," she points out, squinting her eyes at me.

"We recently became friends,"

"You don't make friends,"

"Well, I did!" I throw my hands in the air as I answer her getting a bit frustrated.

Paige looks bothered by the fact that Zayn ignored her so she questions me where Zayn talked about going tonight. "We're going to the movies, he said to bring a friend. Do you wanna join?"

"Yeah," she quickly nods her head with an ardent desire on her face. Her expressions quickly change when she seems to go in deep thought before speaking. "But how come he ignored me," she says to herself, making me chuckle to myself so I quickly type a reply to Zayn's previous text.

To wannabe bad boy:
The plan worked! You've totally got her attention

I hope Zayn does not have a meltdown with that text. With that thought, I smile and put in my locker combination, pulling the handle to open it but it doesn't budge, making me frown in bewilderment. I put much more force on it, trying to open it but nothing happens.

"What's wrong?" Paige asks me, shutting her locker and facing me. I still try to battle with the steel, trying my best to open it when realization crosses over me and I back away from my locker with anger building up inside me.

"Someone put glue inside my locker," I say through my teeth with my breathing becoming heavy as I look over at my best friend who has her mouth open still uncertain of what is happening.

"But who would do that?" She asks, knitting her eyebrows together. "Did you piss someone off this week?" My eyes widen at her question when my mind goes back to the football match between Louis and I, causing my jaw and fists to clench.

"Louis William Tomlinson!" I scream loud enough to make the students in the hallways to stop and stare at me in terror.

"And he is dead," I hear Paige's faint voice behind me before I march towards the football team's changing room.

Q: What are your thoughts about Louis in this book?

Q: What are your thoughts about Paige?

I'm sorry I had to leave the book in the middle, but I posted it on my profile that two deaths had occured in my family which left me very depressed so I had to be distant with everything. I'm getting better now and I'm here to provide you some entertainment during this quarantine phase.

Stay safe everyone. I love y'all and Zayn alot.

Keep smiling cause it looks best on you.
