Friends?! (Zayn Malik Fan Fiction)

Chapter 1: Surprises

* TWO YEARS LATER *

Ashley's P.O.V.

"ASHLEY! GET UP! GET UP OR ELSE YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE!", my mom and bestfriend, Emma, yelled at the same time.

"WHY UP SO EARLY?", I yelled back.

"OMG! How could you forget, Ashley?! We've been waiting for this day for two years and you tell me you forget what day this is?!", Emma said with a shock expression on her face.

"Ok! Stop with this drama! It's like 3:00 A.M. and you're already waking me up! Just tell me what freaking day it is today!", I said with a hint of anger in my voice. Seriously, why would thay wake me up in the middle of my beauty sleep?!

"It's only your graduation day!", my mom said.

"OH FUDGE!", I shouted while running in the bathroom. The thing that I hate most is waking up so early. I mean, come on, sleeping is good. My name is Ashley Gracelin. I am 17 years old, almost 18. My birthday is on February 08, 1995. I have 5 siblings. They are Melaney, Skacey, Austrin, Jorge and Harvey. Melaney and Stacey are both girls who are twins which are 9 year olds. Austrin is a 12 year old boy whose such a troublemaker. Jorge is a 7 year old who loves Harry Potter just like me.(AN: I really really love Harry Potter so I included it in the story.) Harvey is our cute 2 year old brother. My mom's name is Angelina Gracelin. My mom and dad are divorced since I was 5 because my mom saw him in bed with another woman and for all the cruelty our dad gives the two of us. I am a FilAm which means I was born in The Philippines but we moved to Bradford when I was about three years old. I still remember when we moved here. I can still remember when I had my very first friend.

* FLASHBACK *

"Mommy? What if I don't get fwends hewe?", I asked my mom as I took a look in our new neighborhood.

"Of course, honey! You will! After all, you are so friendly.", my mom said.

"Okay!", I replied. My mom went back to packing up. I was grabbing hold of a balloon that my dad gave me. Suddenly, the balloon I was holding flew away.

"My bawoon!", I yelled. I sat down and cried knowing that it was already gone.

"Um, excuse me. I this bawoon youws?", a cute voice said. I looked up and saw a hazel-eyed boy standing in front of me.

"Yes. Thank you fow saving my bawoon!", I said and hugged him.

"Youw wewcome! My name is Zayn Malik. What is youw name?", he asked while jerking his hand in front of mine.

"My name is Ashley Gracelin . Nice meeting you, Zayn.", I answered while gladly shaking his arm.

"So does this mean that wewe fwends?", he asked.

"Yes.", I said. And from that moment on, I knew he was my next bestest friend.

* END OF FLASHBACK *

I was brought back to reality upon hearing a knock on the bathroom door.

"HURRY UP! I STILL GOT TO LOOK GOOD YOU KNOW!", Emma yelled.

"Okay! Okay! Sheesh! The program doesn't start for another three hours.", I said.

"But you've been there for one hour! What even took you so long?", Emma asked.

"Zayn.", I answered quietly.

"Oh no! Not again! Just forget about him!", Emma said.

"How can I forget about him when he promised me that he would attend my graduation.", I snapped back. It's true. He promised he would come back.
