The one you've been following around like a lost puppy?
Zayn
I,m not a puppy, man. I just happen to like being where she is
Lena
You literally join the cooking club because she did
Zayn
And I make a killer omelet now. So win-win
Rico
You never had the guts to talk real feelings
Zayn
I'm tired of being a friend she doesn't even notice
Zayn
Everyone else get a shot. Why not me?
Lena
Are you sure you're ready for this?
Zayn
Then i get my answer. And maybe some peace of mind
Rico
Alright, what's the game plan?
Zayn
At lunch. In the quad. I'll say it in front of everyone
Zayn
Big, bold, no turning back
Rico
Crazy, but kinda epic
Rico
We'll be there. Just don't faint or something
Lena
Just... Promised you won't regret it. No matter what happens
Zayn
I won't. Thanks, Lena
I Thought It Was My Moment

Alright, Romeo. Targets heading toward the library courtyard
Lena
You're good Zayn? Deep breaths. You're not just confessing–you'r declaring war on fear itself
Zayn
Y'all not helping my nerves
Zayn
Yeah. Her favorite–white tulips
Lena
Classic and sincere. Okay, go. She's right there
Library courtyard - in person
Aria
Oh hey, Zayn. What's up?
Zayn
I....I've liked you. For a really long time. Like, since we were kids. I've followed you around not just 'cause you're amazing, but because....
Zayn
You mean something to me
Zayn
So–would you.... Go out with me?
Aria
You're sweet. And brave. But....
Aria
I already like someone, and... He's actually going to confess to me after school today
Aria
I,m really sorry, Zayn
Muffled laughter, whisper
Private chat - later that evening
Rico
You don't have to pretend, man
Zayn
She wasn't mine. Never was
Zayn
Just sucks realizing that after all this time
Lena
Were still here, okay?

Another girl drags her away
Back to the party. Zayn looks around
Zayn
Wait... Where's Aria? Her boyfriend's gone
He finds her passed out on a bench
Zayn
... You gotta be kidding me
Moments later - Outside Aria's House

Zayn
Guess i'll carry her to her room
He gently places her on her bed, ready to leave
Aria

Aria
Why are you leaving me... Nathan....
Zayn
Oh crap–does she thinks I,m her boyfriend??
