"So what are you going to order?" Bryn asked looking at her menu.
"The coconut shrimp"
"Ok I'll get it too"
We made our order and just waited patiently for our order to come. I decided to break the silence.
"We should go shopping this weekend. I really need some new shoes."
"Yeah we should. Plus, I might need to buy some dresses if you keep dragging me to those parties." She laughed
"Well, if not for that party, you would have never met Niall" I smirked
"True" We chatted a little more and our order finally came and we ate in a comfortable silence. We both paid and got up to leave.

Once we got to our dorm room, I decided to text Zayn. I didn't have any work do why not?

M: hey Zayn!
Z: who is this?
M: this is Jessica
Z: oh I'm sorry babe, I didn't save your number😁 how have you been?
M: NP! I'm good, what about you? 💞
Z: Just fine, listen I got to go now, but will you go out with me?
I dropped my phone. Did Zayn Malik just ask me out? I quickly picked up my phone and was glad there was no crack.
M: yes!😘
Z: ok, Friday at 7:00 I will pick you up. Bye Jess❤️
M: bye Zayn💛💙💜

"Bryn Bryn guess what?!"
"Woah find your chill, what happened?"
"Zayn asked me out!!"
"OMG I'm do happy for you! When?"
"Friday evening! What should I wear? I'm thinking something black because that's probably what he'd like. Or maybe some ripped jeans and a white top would lo-"
"Jess chill! It's on Friday which is four days away!"
" I'm just nervous"
"You'll be fine" she assures while putting a hand on my shoulder.

I'm woken up by the annoying noise of my alarm. I decide to let Bryn sleep for a while since she probably has late classes today. I put on a pair of ripped black jeans and a black muscle tank with a stack of bracelets. I just left hair in its natural, straight form. my makeup was minimal, I just put on some eyeliner and mascara with some concealer. I grabbed my keys and decided to stop by panera to get some breakfast.

"So Emma, what have you been doing recently?" Emma was in two of my classes.
" Nothing much! Hanging out with Lou, done some studying, the usual you know,"
"So are you and Louis together?"
"Yes! It just became official last week!"
"That's really nice Emma!"
She giggled, " I'm pretty sure Malik is interested in you" she smirked
I blushed, " Um yeah he asked me out yesterday" I blurted
"Are you serious?!" I just nodded "that's great!" and then the professor walked in.
"Okay class, today we are going to learn about the human emotions"
I was already bored. That was until I felt someone's foot kick mine. I was about to glare at the person, but I looked up and realized who it was.
"I didn't know you took psychology, Zayn"
"I do. it's my least favorite class. I prefer math and physics."
"Seriously? I hate those"
He chuckled "I love them, the rules are always the same. Once you master the formulas, there's nothing else you have to learn in them."
"MALIK AND STEELE STOP TALKING"
We both immediately listened and then I felt my phone vibrate.
Z: what an ass
M: 😂 put ur phone away Zayn
Z: sorry but I don't listen
M: whatever I'm not replying after this
Z: have it your way, I'm going to blow up your phone with messages
Z: hi love
Z: hey babe
Z: waiting for Friday
Z: I think I'm going to cry because you won't reply😟
Z: you look hot
I kicked his foot and he finally stopped. I look at him with a smirk. Then he whispered into my ear, "You're lucky I really like you babe"
I smiled. And then after what felt like ages the teacher dismissed us.
"What class do you have next?" I asked Zayn.
"Physics. You?"
"Basketball. I need to get at least one athletic credit. Basketball is my best sport."
"I'm doing football for my credit"
"You mean soccer?"
"No I mean football. I don't understand why you Americans call it soccer."
"Hey!" I playfully smacked his arm and he rubbed it pretending to be in pain.
"I'll see you later, yeah?"
"Yeah, bye Zayn"
"Bye love"
