Heya guys here's the next chapter, Sorry it's taken so long but I've been super busy! Hope it was worth the wait! Leave me your feedback. 

Zayn's Pov:

I've never wanted to back down from a bet. I mean I've always believed a bets a bet, Don't agree to it if you ain't got the balls to go through with it. I'm the kind of person I always see something to the end no matter how hard it may be, So why can't I do that now? Why can't I find the strength to go through with this bet? Before Niall was just another person to me, He had no real meaning, I didn't know him and I didn't want to, If it wasn't for this bet I wouldn't have even looked twice at him, But now I've gotten to know him, I can't go through with the bet. Every part of my body is yelling at me to call it off, My heads telling me it's a just a bet, There's nothing wrong with backing down, But my heart that's telling me to not go through with it because you care for the boy, Now I do care for Niall, But how can I show that? I'm always pretending to be something I'm not. I live to please people, To do whatever everyone else wants and not what I want. I don't want to hurt or use Niall, There's an innocence in him that I can't explain, There's something about him that makes my heart churn, And I don't know what it is, But everytime I know I'm going to meet him, Nothing can ruin the happiness I experience. I've been spending more and more time with Niall and everyday I feel closer to him then the day before. How is this possible? A bet's never meant anything to me before, So why's it any different with Niall? I sighed rolling over in bed noticing it was time for me to get up for school, So I raised myself from the bed and stretched. I then stood up walking over to my wardrobe pulling it open to see what I could wear today. Now call me vein but I like making an effort, I rummaged through my clothes trying to find something decent to wear, I settled for plain black jeans and white t-shirt. Once I'd picked my clothes out I walked to my bathroom and took a long hot shower. For me the shower is the best place to think, It's so peaceful and calm, The water running all over your body relaxes you in ways I've never understood. After my shower I dried myself, Got dressed, Brushed my teeth and spent ages doing my hair. Again I like to make an effort there's nothing wrong with wanting to take care of yourself. After that I walked down the stairs, said goodbye to my sisters and kissed my mum goodbye before walking to my car, Once inside I reversed out the driveway and began the dreaded drive to school.

The moment I entered school I walked straight over to my mates. 

"Morning Zi" Liam said giving me a warm smile before pulling me into a hug, I hugged him back smiling.

"Morning Li" I replied, Liam was the first friend I ever made at this school. He's known as the sensible one in the group, He's also the one that steps in when he feels that Louis taking things a little far, Which if I'm being honest is most of the time. 

"How are you?" Liam asked.

"I'm good, You?" I replied faking a smile, Liam must have noticed it was fake because he raised his eyebrow at me, But I gave him a look to indicate I would talk to him later, He nodded his head before returning to the conversation with Lou and Haz. First lessons of the day were always the longest to get through. I made it to morning break before deciding I didn't want to do the rest of the day, I asked the lads to cover for me before heading to the school gate, On the way however I saw Niall crouched down under a tree loads of papers were placed on his lap, I chuckled walking over to him. 

"You look stressed" I said crouching down beside him. 

"I am! We have our exams in a few weeks Zayn, Aren't you the slightest bit concerned?" He exclaimed, I chuckled. 

"Not really no"

"You should be! Were talking about our futures here!" Niall exclaimed, He was so cute when he was freaking out, I chuckled again before placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Let's get out of here" I suggested, Niall looked at me with utter horror on his face. 

"You mean bunk?" He said, I nodded my head. "Oh no Zayn I can't, I've never bunked before" He said. 

"There's always a first time for everything" I replied smirking at him.

"What if we get caught?" Niall questioned.

"Then you can pin the blame on me and say I forced you out of school" I replied, Niall looked at me with adoring eyes. 

"You would lie to the head for me?" He asked, I nodded my head smiling. 

"So you in?" I asked again, Niall looked hesitant, I stood up holding out my hand for him. "Come on Nialler, Do something daring for once" I said, Niall smiled before taking my hand. My eyes widened in happiness as I pulled him to his feet. We made sure nobody was looking before we ran off heading straight towards my car, Once inside we drove off, Niall was laughing ecstatically, Not believing what he'd done. I drove us to the park because I knew nobody would find us there. 

"I can't believe we done that! I can't believe were ditching school" Niall yelled happily. He was jumping around the park with so much joy, And I'd be lying if I said it didn't make my heart melt. 

"Your such a rebel Horan" I smirked cheekily at Niall, He looked at me before bursting out laughing. I smiled lovingly at him.

"What?" Niall asked stopping to look at me. 

"I've just never seen this side to you, I like it" I said, Niall blushed looking down, I chuckled before walking over to him. "Come on race you to the swings" I said taking off running, Niall yelled after me but began to run aswell. I don't know how but he managed to beat me there even though I started first.

"How the hell?" I chocked while gasping for air. 

"Irish magic" Niall replied winking at me, I chuckled before grabbing him by the waist and tickling him, Niall began laughing uncontrollably. We both dropped to the soft grass laughing like total idiots. 

"I'm glad we did this" Niall said smiling at me. 

"Me too" I replied returning the smile. Niall then got up and ran to the swing set, He began swinging while I pulled out a cigarette. Niall stopped swinging as I began smoking. 

"You know that's bad for you?" He said, I chuckled while inhaling some of the smoke. 

"I know, But been doing it for so long, It's hard to stop you know?" I replied, Niall nodded. 

"Have you ever tried?" He asked. 

"No. Never had a reason to stop" I replied. 

"Would you stop, If there was a good enough reason?" 

"Well yeah I suppose" I said. 

"It gives you cancer you know, You really should find a way to stop" Niall added, I chuckled. 

"Maybe when I have a reason to stop I will" I said smiling at him, Niall blushed before replying. 

"Well maybe you have one now" Niall said quickly looking down. I chuckled again before dropping the cigarette to the floor, I then walked over to Niall.

"Niall Horan are you trying to say you care about me?" I said cheekily, Niall blushed going even redder before replying.

"Maybe" He said. 

"Thought I was a normal human being with an extremely large ego" I questioned in a teasing manner, Niall smiled clearly remembering the day we fist met. 

"Well I didn't know you then, I judged you before I knew you, But now it's different" Niall said.

"Why?" I asked.

"There's something about you, A goodness inside your heart that your not letting anyone see, You put your boundaries down around me, There's something about you that makes me want to learn more" He replied, I smiled. 

"Well Mr Horan if you would like to learn more how would you fancy dinner Saturday night?" I asked. 

"Are you asking me on a date Malik?" Niall teased. 

"Depends on if your answer is yes" I replied.

"Well a date sounds good to me" Niall said, I smiled before leaning in to place a small kiss to Niall's cheek, He blushed causing me to chuckle, I then wrapped my arms around him, We stood there hugging in the middle of the park for what seemed like a lifetime. 

I knew for 100% I couldn't go through with the bet now. I couldn't hurt him like that. So I found myself outside Liam's house getting ready to tell the boys, I inhaled a deep breath before knocking on the door, Moments later it was answered by Liam himself, He pulled me into a hug smiling as if he knew what I was about to say, We slowly walked into the living room all the boys were there. 

"The bets off" I said. 

"Why?!" Louis and Harry chocked in unison. 

"I eh-" I was cut off mid sentence by Liam.

"He's fallen for Niall" Liam said, I looked at him with a death glare before looking over to Louis and Harry.

"So the bets just off? Just like that" Louis asked. 

"Just like that" I replied. 

"Why now Zi?" Harry asked. 

"Don't you guys get it? Zi's falling inlove. For the first time this is more then just a bet to him, He respects Niall to much to hurt him. As his friends we should support him, It was a stupid degrading bet anyway, For the first time Zayn's finally learning to love" Liam explained. I smiled at him thankfully. 

"Alright Zi, the bets off" Harry said while smiling, I sighed thankfully. So this is what falling inlove feels like? I have to say it feels absolutely amazing.
