Zayn's POV
The bell rang and I smiled. School was finally over.
"Woo it's Friday!!" some girls squealed and grabbed their bags. I stood up and stretched, so ready for the weekend.
"Hey" I heard a familiar voice say. I turned around and saw Nick standing in the doorway. He sheepishly smiled, but didn't walk into the classroom. I quickly grabbed my bag and strode over to my friend.
"Hey blonde" I smirked. Nicks blue eyes glared at me, giving me a cute scowl.
"You know I hate being called that" Nick said. It was true, for blonde was usually referred to Taylor, someone that Nick strongly dislikes.
"Aw whatever" I chuckled and ruffled his hair. Nick flinched back, but smiled.
"Hey Hey Hey!! No touchy the hair!! Or I'll mess up yours" Nick threatened and I held my hands up in surrender.
"Alright Alright" I said, shaking my head. Nick smiled and fixed his perfect hair. Nicks hair wasn't dyed like Nialls, it was natural. And his blue eyes were lighter than Nialls, reminding me of the baby blue sky rather than the ocean. His eyes went perfectly with his light, sweet voice. His cute American accent was low, but high at the same time. I could tell that he was gay, but that didn't stop me from wanting to be his friend.
"ELLLOOO!!!" Louis screamed, popping up from no where. Nick jumped back, but smiled and joined Louis laughing. I chuckled and decided to return the favor to Louis.
"HI LOUIS!!" I screamed, earning a goofy smile from Nick that revealed his white, straight teeth. Louis raised his eyebrows and smiled, challenging me.
"HOW ARE YOU ZAYN!?" Louis yelled, leaning close to my face. I backed up a bit and laughed. Louis smirked and gave me the "come at me bro" look.
"HI!!!" Liam screamed, sneaking up and scaring Louis. Nick's body shook with adorable giggles that lit up his face. I joined in his giggles, pointing at a pouting Louis.
"You should keep your voice down" Louis said to Liam, dramatically flipping his hair. Nick snorted, causing me to laugh harder.
"Aw, what did we miss?" Niall and Nicole asked in unison, walking up to us.
"Liam scared Louis" I said, finally catching my breath and resting my arm on Nicks shoulder. Nick blushed and nodded, his bright smile growing even bigger.
"NO!" louis yelled and stomped his foot.
"It's okay to be embarrassed" Liam teased, nudging Louis arm.
"You're asking for it" Louis said, glaring at Liam playfully.
"Really now?" Liam countered.
"Yeah" Louis said, puffing up his chest.
"You guys are such kids" Nicole giggled, shaking her head. Liam pulled Louis into one of his famous headlocks and Louis squirmed in his grasp.
"Auntie Auntie!" Louis squeaked, pulling on Liams big arm.
"It's uncle" Liam laughed, releasing Louis.
"I know" Louis sassed and flipped his hair.
"You guys are really loud" harry said, smirking at us. I would have greeted him, but the blonde was hanging of his arm. AGAIN.
"Hey" Taylor said, smiling sweetly at the boys. Liam politely replied back, Nick and Nicole remained silent, Louis looked away and Niall sweetly smiled. I just modestly waved, earning a frown from Nick. I really don't mind about her. I mean, what I've heard about her and seen, she could be mean. I'm not going to waste my energy hating her. She comes across as strong and confident, something that usually I would find attractive, but for some reason, I don't have any interest in her. What interests me is Nick and Nicole. The way they act around each other, it's interesting. They're care free and fun, not bothered by peoples rude comments. They're are also sweet and gentle, something that I wasn't back in England.
"So, my birthday is tomorrow and I'm inviting you guys. It's a pool party at my house" Taylor announced, looking up at Harry. Harry gave her a fake smile and I saw Nicks frown deepen. Nick frowned at Nicole, but Nicole just shrugged as if to say "whatever." Huh, I wonder why they did that
"Are they invited?" Louis asked, motioning to Nick and Nicole.
"Um..well.." Taylor said, pretending to think.
"'Cause if they aren't invited, then I'm not going" Louis said, standing firm. Harry looked at Nicole and nodded, agreeing with Louis. Nicole blushed and scooted closer to Niall, who wrapped his arms around her waist and also nodded.
"Of course they are invited!!" Taylor said, straining a smile.
"Then I'll go" Louis smiled.
---------------------------
Before we went our separate ways, I pulled Nick to the side as the others said their goodbyes to Nicole.
"I know this sounds weird but, why did you frown at Nicole today?" I asked looking deep into his eyes. I know that it probably was nothing, but Nick just looked so upset. Nick blushed and looked down, rebelliously not looking me in the eye. I tilted his chin back up with my finger, firmly keeping it in place. Nick blushed and I could see him practically melt in my touch. "Is it Taylor?" I asked slowly.
"Lad, don't hog Nick away from us" Niall spoke, his irish accent forcing me to let Nick go. I turned around and faced the rest of the boys and Nicole. Nick brushed past me and for some strange reason, it tingled where his skin touched mine.
"Bye" nick said, giving the guys fist pumps and bro hugs. Nick turned around and waved at me before linking arms with Nicole and walking off.
"What was that about?" Liam asked, raising an eyebrow at me once Nicole and Nick were far enough off.
"Hey, you know what. I just realized that Nicole and I have an art project. I better go with them and discuss with her. Tell Uncle Simon that I'll be home later on" I said, not feeling bad for lying to them and rushing past them to catch up to Nick and Nicole. I usually wasn't this straight forward, but when Nick didn't answer, it sparked great curiousity in me.
"I don't know if Uncle Simon will be to happy!" Harry called out. I ignored him and picked up my pace.
Nicole's POV
"Wait!" I heard Zayn call out in his thick, british accent. Nick and I stopped in our tracks and gave each other questioning looks. Zayn placed a hand on Nicks shoulder and spun him around, my arm slipping out of his. Nick's eyes slightly widened when Zayns face came dangerously close to his.
"Thought you'd get away" Zayn smirked. Nick's face turned firetruck red and I swear he was probably somewhat turned on. Zayn turned Nick back around and placed his hand on both our backs. "Lets go."
------------------------------
"Can I offer you something to drink?" I asked Zayn, opening the fridge to show him our varieties.
"I'm good, thanks" Zayn said. He reached out and shut the fridge from behind me. I turned around and came face to face with him. "I just want to talk" Zayn said, his chocolate stare intensifying. I groaned and slipped past him. I walked into the living room, Zayn hot on my heels, and plopped down on the empty space next to Nick. Zayn hesitantly sat down in a chair close by, but became confident when he caught our eyes.
"It's nothing big, really" I said. And really, it isn't a big thing. So when Nick frowned and looked at me, I looked away, not wanting attention to be drawn to me. I don't understand why every year, Nick gets so upset when this happens, because Taylor just does something stupid.
"Yeah, but I Nick didn't answer me when I questioned him" Zayn pointed out. I looked over at Nick who just shook his head.
