'Teach me how to love'
Chapter 3.1 ~ *Amy’s POV

“I guess this will happen a few more times this week”, I sighed. Joey, Tilly and me were sitting in our canteen. The school itself, with all the classrooms and stuff, wasn’t that big, but our canteen on the contrary was huge! It was a detached building, hundred meters away from our school. The canteen was also used for dinner parties and other celebrations beyond school. Sometimes they even held gigs over here, because we also had a little stage. But for now it was just our canteen: a place where teenagers loved to be between the lessons. And I had to admit the food over here was quite delicious.
“I think you’re right”, Tilly said. She still looked really nervous, but I didn’t really understand why. Okay, Zayn was our English teacher: we all knew that by now. But even I wasn’t nervous anymore.
“What’s wrong, Til?” Joey said as she put her arm around Tilly’s shoulders. Tilly shook it off.
“It’s just this whole Zayn thingy, it gets me on my nerves. How am I supposed to function naturally when I know one of our five idols is walking around the school?”
“We have no choice”, I said as I shrugged my shoulders.
Suddenly Joey looked up and smiled widely, as someone appeared at our table: it was Ethan, a very nice guy who was in another class then ours. He was actually very attractive, many girls liked him, but we were honoured to call him our friend.
“Hey, Ethan!” I said as he sat down. “Where’s your princess?’
Joey and Tilly laughed loudly. It became kind of a joke, since Ethan was always together with his girlfriend, Briana. ‘Princess’ was her nickname and we loved to tease Ethan with that, although it was very cute, actually. For now he just stared at us with a sulky expression on his face.
“She’s ill today”, he said, looking very sad.
“Let me cheer you up!” Joey said. “Guess what? Mister Goldberg’s in hospital!”
“Hey, that’s not a nice thing to say!” Ethan said sarcastically: we all knew he hated mister Goldberg even more than we did.
“And you know this boyb…” Before Joey could even finish her sentence, Ethan already groaned.
“Yes I know this boyband you’re always talking about! One Direction, One Direction!” He screamed. “Not again, please!”
“But you don’t understand!” I said, containing my laughter and trying to act serious.
“One of them is our new English teacher!”
“Yes, I know they’re hot, but... Wait. What did you just say?”
Tilly almost fell of her chair right now.
“Hahaha, you just admitted they were hot!” Ethan’s tinted cheeks went from caramel brown to red.
“It’s just because… Man, you need to hear yourself sometimes! Ah, Harry is so cute! Zayn is so hot, oh my god!” He imitated our behaviour and laughed loudly.
“Ssht!” I said immediately. “It would be very awkward if Zayn heard that!” I pointed at the door: Zayn just walked into the canteen, carrying his large suitcase with him. En route a few girls stopped him as he passed by. I bet they wanted an autograph or something. Anyway, Zayn didn’t seem to like it that much, because he put on a fake smile.
“So… That’s one of your gods? Okay, okay, I admit it, he’s not your average lad”, Ethan said with a weak smile and he stood up because his mobile phone went off.
“It’s Briana. Talk to you later!” He waved and disappeared.
“Someone became very jealous over here…” Tilly said as she raised one eyebrow. “Very, very jealous.”
