Runway Walk

I spent the rest of the morning trying to avoid Zayn. After the disaster of last night, the last thing I wanted was to face him. I could still feel the humiliation creeping up my neck every time I thought about it—the kiss, then throwing up all over him. I groaned and shook my head, trying to focus on the present.

Zayn chuckled. "Right. So, last night never happened?"
