Just a minute (A Zayn Malik Fanfic)

Clumsiness, Meetings and Resemblances

"Oops! I am sorry. I just didn't...sorry I'm a bit clumsy!" I bumped into a boy while crying, near the washroom and dropped his book.

I quickly picked it up, and faced him. He stood there smiling nervously and constantly licking his lips.

He looked quite cute in grey polo and black jeans, with a bag and a book which I had dropped.

And I had seen him from somewhere.

"Hi! I am Zain...Zain Malik." he said with a heavy Bradford accent, putting his hand forward, biting his lip, I guess nervously.

I had seen him at the audition and liked his performance but still, I played along. He obviously did not know me.

I shook hands with him "Hey! I am Ashley Brooks. I am sorry I just didn't see you coming!" I say with all the sincerity.

He replied, "It's okay dear! Oh by the way you are a contestant?" He asked with a smile.

"And wait why are you crying?" He appeared quite concerned. I realize my mascara was smudged.

First impression goals, right there.

"Nope! I came to drop my friend Harry and yeah I'm kinda crying because I'll miss him!" I realized he has very deep and beautiful brown eyes.

"Zain Malik! Where are you?" I heared someone behind me, Zain came next to me and shouted back, "Sorry bro I'm there!" The other person gave him a dissatisfied look.

"Sorry Ashley! I gotta leave." I nodded, "I hope we meet soon. It was great meeting you! And don't cry now! Okay? Bye." He smirked.

"Ahh sure! We'll meet soon and I won't cry now! Bye. All the best." I reply back giving him the best smile I have.

"Oh Ashley?" I looked up.
"I really hope we meet soon."

He ran back to the crowd of boys talking to the man who shouted at him. And I blushed.

*flashback with Zayn's P.O.V*

"Oops! I am sorry. I just didn't.. I'm sorry! I'm a bit clumsy." I bumped into a girl at the gate near the washwroom as I said bye to my family and was about to go in.

She quickly picked up the sketchbook I had dropped when we fell down.

She looked stunning in a white cut sleeve top and black jeans.

I nervously introduce myself, "Hi! I am Zain...Zain Malik." I am quite of a shy boy and get nervous in front of girls except my sisters.

"Hey! I am Ashley Brooks. I'm sorry I just didn't see you coming!" She replied in a confident manner.

"It's okay dear! Oh by the way you are a contestant?" I prayed her to say yes.

"And wait why are you crying?" I noticed that her beautiful blue eyes and nose were red and her mascara was a bit smudged.

I was quite concerned about her as I don't like seeing someone crying. And also, because she's beautiful.

"Nope! I came to drop my friend Harry and yeah I'm kinda crying because I'll miss him!" I nodded.

I was a bit gutted because she wasn't a contestant. But at the mention of 'Harry' I made up my mind to befriend him.

"Zain Malik! Where are you?" I heared Ansel shouting.

Talking about bad timing now, are you?

I shouted back, "Sorry bro I'm there!" He gave me a dissatisfied look.

"Sorry Ashley! I gotta leave hope we meet soon. It was great meeting you! And don't cry now! Okay? Bye." I smirked at her.

Well I really...really wanted to meet her as soon as possible, she was amazing.

"Ahh sure! We'll meet soon and I won't cry now! Bye. All the best." She replied back, giving me a cute smile that could melt anyone.

"Ashley?" I turned around once more, "I really hope we meet soon."

I ran back to the other contestants, a bit gutted, Ashley was cute I wanted to have a longer conversation but my dream was waiting. I could not resist that either.

*Ashley's P.O.V from the present*

I saw him go but before that he turned back again, one last time.

"Bye Ashley! See ya!" He shouted tenderly.

Gosh! He's adorable.

"Bye Zayn! See ya! All the best." I waved at him one last time before heading back to the washroom.

I ran towards the washroom where I bumped into someone again.

I'm little miss clumsy fumsy.

"Uhh I am sorry I've been bumping into people a lot!" I apologized quickly.

"Oh not a problem and by the way I-... why are you staring?" She quickly asked.

A clumsy water work and a perverted creep with smudged mascara. Nice first impressions Ashley!

But I was staring at her because her face was very resembling. Like, very resembling.

"Umm...sorry! You appear quite familiar but I'm sure I haven't met you. But your jawline and eyes are very familiar!" I replied rather confused.

She let out a laughter, "I know! You know some Zain Malik?" She asked me sweetly.

"Yeah! I just met him back there." She was confusing me.

"Great! I'm his sister Waliyha Malik. We appear quite same and yeah the jawline and eyes are same." She replied politely.

Now it clicked me, Zain's brown eyes.

"Oh I am sorry I bumped and then stared. Trust me I'm not that weird! I'm Ashley Brooks!" I tried my best to be sweet.

"I'll surely get to know about you from him. You are beautiful!"

"Oh thank you! You too are very cute." I complimented her.

"Thank You! Will meet soon. Bye!"

"Bye waliyha!"

Wow! 1 new day, 1 new change and one new friend... Zain Malik!
