"That was sick man."  I say to Niall as we walk out of the theatre. " Megan Fox though" Niall says and blushes.  I chuckle and poke at his pink cheek.  I like Niall because we've only known each other for a little while but he's so friendly so he's just like a friend that I haven't seen in a few years. " So you have any friends from back home?"  I ask Niall. " Nah, nobody really liked me" he says cooly. " You?"  He asks. " A mate named Harry but that's about it."  I offer. " Ah cool."  Niall says.  We walk out of the movie theatre and tease each other and push each other joking about. " I needed this, thanks mate" I say to Niall which indeed I really did need this, just a little fun in my boring, uninteresting life. " No problem mate, we can do this more often if you like" he offers and I nod in approval.  We split down the car park me heading off to my car and him heading off to his. 

When I arrive home mum is sitting at the counter. " Hey mum" I say and kiss her cheek. " Hello love how was your day, did you visit that boy?"  She asks. " My day was fine, school and stuff as usual and then yeah I did visits him and I guess he's fine... I'm not all that sure because he cut the conversation off quick, like I don't know if it's a pride thing that he doesn't want anyone to see him in a hospital bed or he just really didn't wanna talk to me.  I'll text him later though.  And after that I went to a film with a friend from school" 'that was a mouth full' I think to myself. " I'm glad you got to see him today.  Who's this friend?"  She asks. " His name is Niall, an Irishman, same grade as me, sort of same situation with why he's here too" I say, pointing at the ground when I say 'here' but not literally meaning here. " I see, well that's nice, just a friend though right?"  She asks behind a smile.  My cheeks flush and i say "yes mum just a friend, he fancies girls, and I'm not really interested right now in anyone" I lie. " But if you did find that special guy you would bring 'em 'ere yeah?"  She asks. " Yes mum" I say still flushed. " Night" I say to her and take the stairs two at a time.  Once I get upstairs I check my phone and there's a message from Louis. " Hey man, how's Zayner?"  The message says. " He's fine, didn't wanna see me much and sent me out after about two minutes" I text back.  I throw my phone on my bed and change and by time I am done changing into pyjamas his response is back. " Sorry he's a douche sometimes, he is nice sometimes I promise" he texts back. " I've heard that before, do you think he'd want to like be friends after he gets better?"  I text back.  Niall also said he was a douche sometimes, and it really should bother me but it doesn't. " You're a level headed lad so I'm sure he'll like you" Louis says, and that sort of enlightens me. " There's a kid at school... Niall, and he said me and Zayn had a lot in common.  Do you think that he's right?"  I text back. " As long as you can watch The Avengers four times in one day and you can name at least three of Picasso's pieces then you're good" he says, and I smile at the first one and frown at the second one... He did quote hamlet by heart the other day in school, he seems pretty artistic I guess. " Thanks mate, goodnight" I text back to him.  And then I make one more message "can we be friends?"  And I surprise myself by hitting send, I usually wouldn't say anything like that.  The response comes back short and sweet "why not?  x"
