The beauty and the nerd

chapter 2-bumping into you

I stood by my locker, watching Demi chat among with her friends, I sighed. She'll never notice me. I will be in the friend zone forever. "Zayn." Liam said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, huh? What?" Harry smirked.

"Day dreaming about your girlfriend huh?" He asked messing up my hair, I slightly blushed.

"She's not my girlfriend, OK for the last time. We're just friends, nothing else." Louis smirked.

"OK yeah sure. I mean you might as well call her your girlfriend, you look at her like Niall looks at food. I playfully rolled my eyes ignoring their comments. I looked at Demi.

" look at her, she's so pretty and popular and I'm..." I said turning towards the boys.

"Let's just say a girl like that could never fall for a guy like me."

"Come on man just give it a shot, ask her out." I sighed.

"It's not that easy, I'm not like you Harry. I mean I just can't walk up to a girl and make out with her or ask her for her number." Harry smiles.

"It's easy, but I'll help overcome your fear." I nod, as we walked into first period class.

At the end of school I grabbed my things and started running towards the door, but I bumped into someone, making their thing fall into the floor. "Oops I am so sorry." The person said, I started picking up their things. I grabbed for the folder, but the person's hand landed on it too. I looked up only seeing the amazing eyes of Demi Lovato. I never thought, I would get this close to her. We both pulled our hands away only saying 'sorry'. I handed her things to her.

"I'm so sorry for bumping into you, are you hurt?" She asked worried, I shook my head.

"Um no, I'm fine are you OK?" She smiles, nodding. Then Jack came wrapping his arm protectively around her.

"Babe why are you talking to this loser." Demi rolled her eyes.

"He's not a loser, this is Zayn. He's our friend."

"Your friend." She sighs.

"I'll see you later Zayn." I smiled.

"See you later." I said, as the walked away. I quickly ran to my uncle's restaurant.

"Hey uncle Bob sorry I'm la...."

"Your late." I nod.

"Well yeah I kind of know that, but I had something to do."

"More important than this."

"Well not exactly important, but..." He groans.

"Come on Zayn, I need you to work with me." I sighed.

"The important thing is I'm here now right." I said grinning.

"Wrong." He said as I frowned. He puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Look Zayn, I know this restaurant isn't one of the best restaurant's but it is good to keep. And if you keep slacking like this I'm going to lose my business. Look Zayn I love you to death, but you need to grow up and be on time." I nod.

"Won't happened again." He smiles, patting me on my back.

"Good now get working. We have people to feed." I nod, as I threw on my apron and started serving people. Suddenly the door opened and I saw Demi and her 2 friends Selena and Crystal walk in.

"Hey Zayn." Demi said waving at me, I waved back walking towards their table.

"I didn't know you worked here." I nod.

"Yeah, so what can I get you."

"I want a small burger and Crystal wants a burger too,and Demi here wants a...."

"Just a salad please." I smile nodding.

Demi POV: as he walked away, Crystal squeeled. "OMG Demi he so has a crush on you." I looked at her like she was crazy.

"What makes you think that?" She smiles.

"The way he looked at you, I mean it's so obvious. And I can tell you like him too." I playfully rolled my eyes.

"Your crazy that's all." I said, as they smirked.

"Your blushing." Selena said, I bite my lip.

"Nope, and plus me and Zayn are just friends and I have a boyfriend. Jack remember?" They nod.

"Shh Zayn's coming back." I said as they started giggling.

"So Zayn, where do you get your looks?" Selena asked, I looked at her.

"What do you like in girls." Crystal asked.

"Yeah do you like a girl with the letter that start with D and end with I." Selena said, I lightly hit her. Zayn gave out a small chuckle, but I could tell he was nervous.

"I don't know what kind of girl I like but I do know I have a crush on this one girl." He said leaving.

"He so likes you, you can tell." I rolled my eyes. After the girls left I could tell Zayn was closing. I sadly frowned. Don't tell me he's canceling on me again. I sighed, texting my limo driver to come pick me up. Zayn came up to me.

"Are you ok?" I slowly nod.

"Don't seem like it." I sighed.

"Well my dad."

"He's a movie director right." I nod.

"Yes, he was supposed to come meet up with me, but he cancelled on me again." He sighs.

"Is this daily?" I nod.

"Very daily."

"I think your ride's here." He said pointing at a limo. I nod.

"Thanks Zayn for listening to me." I said giving him a hug, which felt amazing.
