Now that i have found you
Chapter
1
I groaned as I woke up, slowly opening my eyes then
squinting them at the bright light beaming through my curtains. Turning on my
side, I reached to stop the annoying beeping clock that had just woken me. I
saw it read 8.30. I groaned again and flopped onto my back, realising it was
the first day back at school. I always hated the first day back. Also, this was
my final year of school, which meant I had to sit all of my GCSE exams in a
couple of months.
I sighed and sat up, stretching my back. I stood and
grabbed some clothes out of my wardrobe before heading to the bathroom. I took
a quick shower then got dressed and brushed my teeth. I took in my appearance
in the mirror once I was done. I was wearing a grey sweatshirt with the sleeves
coming just past my elbows, some blue jeans and a pair of grey Supra's.
(Non-uniform school) I quickly dried off my hair and flicked it to the side as
usual. I checked myself over in the mirror one last time, straightening out my
clothes and fixing my collar before leaving the bathroom.
I headed downstairs and into the kitchen and was
surprised to find just my mum there.
"Good morning" my mum chirped from where she
was stood at the counter, making breakfast.
"Morning, where is everyone?"
"Well your father had to go to work early for a
meeting and Ruth is already off to one of her friends houses" my mum told
me.
I nodded as I took a seat at the table.
Just then my phone beeped signalling I had a text. I
pulled my phone out of my pocket and opened the text.
'Alright bud, just checking your awake. Me and Louis
will meet you by the gates, don't be late! :)'
-Niall
I smiled and shook my head as I text him back.
Niall was one of my best friends. I had three best
friends; Harry, Louis and Niall.
Niall and I met when he moved here from Ireland when he
was 6. I first saw him when he stared at my primary school. We played together
and talked and got on really well. At the end of school he asked me to come to
his house, and i did. I found out he only lives a couple of streets away from
me.
We became best friends, and i then introduced him to
Harry. Harry didn't like Niall at first, he got jealous because he thought
Niall was stealing me away from him. But soon they worked it out and we all got
along fine.
Now Harry. Id been friends with Harry basically since
I was born. He lives just two houses away from me and he's my closest friend.
We always used to play out in the street together and kept getting closer over
the years. Our mum's are also best friends so we spend a lot of our time
together. He basically lived at my house during the summer holidays.

I nodded and he continued.
"She looked fit, and we um..kissed a little"
"You kissed her?"
"No she kissed me, we were both drunk and it just
kind of happened" he sighed before going on. "But after it happened,
I haven't been able stop thinking about her"
"Aw little Harry's got a crush" I teased
wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Shut up" he said, shoving me away and
smiling at me. "So is there any girls you've got your eye on? Or boys for
that matter"
I shook my head as we turned the corner and headed up
the road towards our school. There wasn't anybody I was interested in at the
moment. I few months ago I had discovered I was attracted to both boys and
girls. I'd liked a few girls and one or two boys but no one really caught my
eye.
I had been in a few relationships during high school
but none of them lasted that long. I guess I just hadn't found anyone I really
liked yet.
We reached the school gates and stopped, waiting for
Louis and Niall.
I watched Harry who was looking around intently as if
searching for someone. I smirked and nudged him with my elbow.
"She'll probably already be in class" I told
him.
"Who? I don't know what your talking
about.." he trailed off and I laughed.
"Hey do you mind if I head to class.." he
asked and I smirked again.
"Go on Romeo, i'll wait for the others."
Harry grinned and pulled me into a hug.
"Thanks"
I pushed him away and he all but ran into school and I
just laughed at him.
I leaned back against the wall and pulled out my
phone. I quickly texted Niall and Louis, asking them where they were. I put my
phone away and slung my hands in my pockets.
I decided to look around while I waited, hoping
someone would catch my eye. But, nobody really did.
I sighed and looked to my feet.
There were plenty of fit girls at my school and some
not too bad looking guys too but nobody I was really interested in. Everybody
here was just too plain and boring. I wanted someone different.
I suddenly felt someone bump into me causing me to
stagger.
"Oh god, sorry"
I quickly regained my footing and looked to the
person, who was now crouched on the floor picking up his mobile. He must of
dropped it as he knocked into me.
"I wasn't looking where I was going" he said
as he stood up.
I realised he wasn't from round here, he had a
different accent. It was..cute.
Once he stood up I was able to get a proper look at
him. He was gorgeous. He was around my height, quite dark skinned with dark hair
that was flicked up at the front. I looked to his eyes and wow. They were
amazing. Big, deep, brown does eyes that I found myself getting lost in.
"It's ok" I said quietly.
He smiled and I couldn't help smile back.
"Are you new here?" I found myself asking.

"Yea, I just moved here last week from Bradford" he told me and I nodded.
"How come you moved?" I asked. "If you
dont mind me asking I mean" I added quickly. The last thing I needed was
him thinking I was prying.
"No I don't mind, my dad got transferred for work
and my mum didn't want to leave him, so, they decided to move here"
"Oh" I said and mentally slapped myself for
not being able to think of something else to say. I didn't know what was wrong
with me, I could barley speak.
"I'm Zayn by the way" he said holding his
hand out.
"I'm Liam" I said and shook his hand, trying
my best to ignore the spark I felt when I touched him.
"So whose class are you in?"
"Um, Mr. Anderson's" he said looking to a
piece of paper that had his lesson time table on it.
I nodded. I was kinda disappointed that he wasn't in
the same class as me, even though I've only known him for all of a minute.
He looked back up and smiled again. I'd already grown
to love that smile.
I smiled back and he looked into my eyes. I could feel
my face heating up as he stared at me. Those eyes sort of scared me while at
the same time I couldn't bring myself to look away from them. There was just
something about his eyes, something about him, but I couldn't figure it out.
I jumped slightly when the school bell rung,
signalling first period was starting in five minutes.
"I better go, don't wanna be late for the first
day" Zayn said.
"Yea" I said hoarsely and quickly cleared my
throat.
"But, I'll see you round?"
My stomach did not just flip at that. "Sure"
He smiled again before saying, "Bye Liam"
"Bye" I managed out.
He walked away towards the school entrance and I
couldn't help watch him.
Even though I'd only just met Zayn, there was
something about him that I really liked. I mean, I liked his looks, he was fit.
But there was something else about him.
I tore my eyes away from him and turned around.
I wondered if Zayn would be in any of my classes. I
hoped he was, I definitely wanted to see him again.
I couldn't help turn back to get one last look at Zayn.
He'd reached the school doors and just as he was about
to go in he turned around. He looked to me and gave me a smile. I smiled back
and he went inside.
I turned back around and leaned against the wall. I
could feel myself blushing again.
Great first day back and I'm falling for someone I
only just met. Is that even possible?
I sighed, this was going to be a long year.

Chapter 2
I walked along the corridor with Niall and Louis to our lockers. They were talking about football or something but I wasn't paying attention.I hadn't stopped thinking about Zayn since I'd seen him. It wasn't normal to think this much about someone you just met, was it?I looked down the corridor as we turned the corner hoping to see him but I didn't. I sighed as I reached my locker, unlocking it and grabbing my books out of it.I mean, I didn't even know him properly. I knew his name was Zayn and he was from Bradford but that was about it. I didn't even know his last name!"Liam"Maybe it was love at first sight. Woah love? I'm not in love with Zayn."Liam?"Was I?"Liam!"I felt a hand on my arm and turned to see Harry looking at me weirdly.When did he get there?"You alright?""Yeah just thinking" I said as I closed my locker."About?""Uh, nothing. How did it go with Heather?" I quickly changed the subject and Harry stared for a second before shaking his head, a frown crossing his face."Not good, I didn't really get to talk to her, she was with all of her friends" he said looking disappointed."Don't worry, just give it another try when she's on her own" I reassured and he nodded."Yeah I guess"We reached our class room and took our seats. As I sat down next to Niall, I took a quick glance around the room, frowning when I didn't see Zayn."Who are you looking for?" Niall asked from beside me."Nobody.."He gave a strange look, the same Harry gave me earlier, before looking back to front and listening to the teacher.I sighed and looked to the front too. I tried to focus on the lesson, but my mind kept drifting elsewhere.I wonder where Zayn was. What lesson he was in. Maybe he-"Liam!" I jumped as the teacher shouted my name. "Your not paying attention"I felt everybody eyes on me and I shifted in my seat, feeling uncomfortable."Sorry sir" I mumbled and he rolled his eyes at me.He went back to teaching and I looked down to my work. I realised then my page was blank. I glanced at Niall's sheet to see he'd filled in the first couple of questions.I quickly picked up my pen and got to my work, trying to push away any thoughts of Zayn.________________________________________I made it through first and second lesson with out anymore distractions. I decided it was stupid to think about him so much. I was in third lesson now, science, and it was only five minutes to go before lunch. I wondered if Harry was okay and how it was going with Heather, as we weren't in the same science. Neither were Niall or Louis.I had a couple of friends in this class, I sat next to a girl called Laura. She was nice, we got on well. I found out she was best friends with Heather, so I knew Harry would soon start bombarding me with questions to ask Laura about Heather.I looked up to the clock, just two minutes left before lunch."Hey" Laura said looking up from here work. "How do you work this out"I explained the formula out to her and she nodded, attempting the question."So is this right?"I looked to her answer then nodded. "Yep, thats it."She smiled. "Thanks""No problem" I looked back down to my book, finishing off a question."Have you seen the new guy, Zayn?"I couldn't help the smile that came to my face as I nodded. "Yea""Quite fit isn't he" she said giggling.I nodded again. "I guess"There was no point me denying it. Everybody at school already knew I I liked guys and girls. I'd hadn't had much hate for it, but then again I hadn't been in a relationship with a guy yet.I knew there would be a lot of it if I ever did decide to go out with a guy, but I wasn't planning on doing that any time soon, not unless Zayn suddenly decided to ask me out. Which was never going to happen."I heard he broke up with his boyfriend just before he moved here" Laura said and I snapped my head round to face her."Boyfriend?" she nodded. "He's gay?""No, bi I think" she said a small smirk crossing her face."He is?" I blushed a little."Yeah" She was still smirking at me. "Why? Would you go out with him?"I blushed even more and looked down at the table."Um, I don't know, yes, no, maybe?"I turned away and I could hear Laura laughing at me.She placed a hand on my shoulder. "Aw that's so cute. Don't worry, I won't say anything"I managed an awkward smile. "Thanks.."The bell rung and I silently thanked god, as I all but ran out of the room. My face was still slightly flushed as I walked towards Harry's classroom. He walked out and I smirked, realising he was watching Heather as she walked away with her friends. He turned to me then frowned."Are you okay? Your all red" he said placing his hand

on my forehead.I groaned and I swatted his hand away. "I'm fine""Okay? Well let's go to lunch" he said and I nodded.We made our way downstairs and through to the dinner hall. We queued up and got our food before finding a table."So, did you talk to Heather?" I asked.A grin came to Harry's face as he sat down opposite me."Yes""Alright lads" we looked up to see Niall."Whats going on?" he asked taking the seat next to me."I was just gonna tell Liam about Heather" Harry said the grin still planted on his face."Ah" Niall said with a smirk. "How did it go?""Well-""Hey guys" i looked up to see Louis standing beside me."Oh come on!" Harry said annoyed now and I laughed at him as he crossed his arms and frowned."Guys, this is Zayn" Louis said.My eyes widened slightly and I slowly looked again up to see Zayn now stood beside Louis. He was smiling as he looked to everyone, before his gaze landed on me.I instantly felt my heart beat faster and I quickly turned away."He's new and I said he could hang out with us" Louis told us.Niall and Harry both nodded and smiled while I kept my gaze on my plate."Hey Liam"I looked up shyly to find Zayn watching me, still smiling that amazing smile."Hey" I said quietly.Louis looked from me to Zayn confused."We met this morning" I explained and Louis made an 'oh' face."Yea..sorry about that" Zayn said to me, chuckling at the memory."It's fine" I smiled, also thinking about this morning."Okay.." louis looked even more confused now. "..well, this is Harry and that's Niall" Louis pointed to them both as he spoke before sitting down beside Harry."Hey" Zayn said to Harry and Niall."Alright" Niall said and Harry just nodded, probably still annoyed he hadn't told us about Heather yet.Louis motioned for Zayn to sit next to him. Zayn glanced to me before slowly moving to sit next to Louis.Once Zayn was seated Harry spoke up."Can I please tell you guys how it went with Heather now?" he asked and we all nodded."Harry's got a crush on this girl Heather" Niall informed Zayn who just nodded with a smile."Well, we were in science and we had to go in partners to make this model thing of some satalite or something and.."My attention slowly drifted from my curly haired friend to someone else.I looked over to Zayn only to find him looking straight back. He didnt seem to be paying attention to Harry either. We both stared at each other and he did that thing again, where it felt as if he was looking right into my soul. His lips curved into a small smile and I had to bite the inside of my cheek in attempt to stop myself blushing."Liam!" I suddenly felt somebody kick me in the leg and turned to see Harry staring at me. "Your not even listening""Sorry, I was uh, daydreaming.." I smiled sheepishly at him and he just rolled his eyes before continuing with his story.________________________________________"So you're all coming to my house later?" Louis asked as we walked out the school gates."Yeah" we all said at once. Louis nodded then turned to Zayn."You're invited too, are you coming?""Yeah sure" Zayn said and smiled."Okay, so how does 6 sound?" We all agreed on 6."Great, well, I've got a bunch of movies we can watch and I've got some new games to play" he said then turned to Niall. "and speaking of games I am totally gonna' beat you at Mario Cart""You only won last time because you cheated!" Niall argued."No I didn't""You sat on me!""that's not cheating!"I laughed as I watched them argue. They often did this over video games, they were too competitive for their own good.They continued to argue as they made their way down their road, muttering a 'goodbye' in-between yelling."So Zayn" I turned to see Harry talking to Zayn. "Where about do you live?""Bayberry road" Zayn said and Harry nodded."Okay, what number? Me and Liam will knock at yours later, then we can all walk to Louis'""Number 5 and sounds good" Zayn said.We reached my house and I searched my pockets for my key. Then a sudden thought hit me."Do you know your way from here?" I asked looking to Zayn."Yea I'm good, I think I know my way around" he smiled. "But thanks anyway"I nodded and smiled back."Well I'll see you guys later" Zayn said before turning to leave."See you later" Harry said.Zayn nodded to him then turned to me. "Bye Liam""Bye"We both watched him as he walked away. As soon as he turned the corner I felt Harry hit my arm."Ow, what was that for?""What was with you today? You kept zoning out""Oh yea, sorry, just tired I guess""So it had nothing to do with Zayn?""What do you mean?"Harry rolled his eyes. "Come on, I saw the way you were looking at him""i don't know what you're talking about" I said and turned to unlock my door."Do you like him?""No.." I opened my door and stepped inside.When I faced Harry he smirking and I rolled my eyes. "Go home Harry""Fine, I won't say anything" he took a step back, holding his hands up in surrender."Good" I said before closing my door.

Chapter 3
"Harry hurry
up!"
"I can't find my keys!"
I rolled my eyes
as Ieaned against the frame of Harry's front door.
"Harry if you
don't find your keys in the next ten seconds I'll go without you" I said
then I heard his footsteps coming down the stairs and through the hallway.
"Oh so you
can be all alone with Zayn" he teased as he closed the front door.
I glared at him
and he grinned then a thought occurred.
"Hey I was
just thinking, I'm sure Heather would love to hear about what happened to you
at Louis' Christmas party last year" I smirked as I watched the grin fall
from his face and his eyes widen.
"I'll shut up
now" he said quickly.
I laughed as we
walked down our road then for a few more blocks until we could see Zayn's
street. I was a bit worried to go to Louis' house with Zayn. I know Louis,
Niall and Harry would be there but I was still nervous. I mean, since I met
Zayn I haven't been able to stop thinking about him. And whenever I was around
him I didn't feel myself. I was unable to speak properly when he talked to me,
my heart would beat so fast it actually hurt just by him looking to me. And my
stomach flipped at almost everything he did. I think I definitely had more than
'friendly' feelings for him. But how could I? I didn't even know him. You can't
just fall for somebody because of their looks, can you?
I shook my head of
my thoughts as we made our way down Bayberry road and kept walking down it
until we reached number five. Harry moved to the door and knocked three times
before stepping back beside me.
"Hey Liam,
your not really gonna' tell Heather that are you?" He asked turning to me.
I rolled my eyes.
"No Harry, I won't tell her"
Harry smiled then
turned when the door opened, revealing a smiling Zayn.
"Hey" he
said looking to me and, there it was. My heart basically exploded in my chest.
Why am I such a girl?
"Hey, are you
ready?" Harry asked and Zayn nodded.
"just let me
get my keys" he said before running back inside.
I felt Harry nudge
my arm and I turned to him.
"You know, if
you don't want people to know, you need to stop with the staring" he said
smirking.
I looked away,
feeling embarrassed. "I wasnt staring"
"Sure"
Harry rolled his eyes, turning his attention back to the door when Zayn
reappeared.
"Okay let's
go"
We made our way to
louis' house which wasnt too far, only a couple of streets away. I was hoping
Harry would stand in the middle as we walked but he moved so he was on the
right and I was in the middle. I think he did it on purpose.
"So
Zayn" Harry started. "Tell us about yourself"
"Well, my names
Zayn, I moved here from Bradford last week, I have 3 sisters, one older, two
younger, I've been doing boxing since I was about 6 and I like to sing" he
