Nobody Compares {A Zayn Malik Lucy Hale FF}

Chapter-16

Savannah's POV

Next morning; 6.30 AM

I was still mad at Zayn for his unnecessary outburst at me in class yesterday. But since today is his birthday, I'm gonna suck it up and make today memorable for him.

My phone beeped signalling a text and I saw that it was from Zayn, which is a shocker because it was now 6.45AM and Zayn was awake

It read-

"Sorry for yesterday. I asked Perrie out for coffee yesterday. Thank u..x"

I smiled a bit, seeing that he listened to me, but that does not justify him lashing out at me. I skipped my routine jump to his balcony and went to the bathroom to freshen up

Niall had messaged me to reach school early and that Harry would pick me up. I changed into my outfit(External link) and went down to the kitchen to make breakfast for a change. But, the sight at the dining table shocked me off my sanity.

There was my aunt and uncle at the table, plates in front of them and surprisingly, a third plate made... for me.

"Join us, beta" Those three words uttered by my aunt threw me off my senses. I carefully made my way to a chair and inhaled the unadulterated aroma of homemade food.

"Thank you" I managed to utter. It was a great deal of surprise or me, which I was sure, was evident on my face. My aunt merely smiled and motioned me to gulp down my breakfast; which I did.

I waited patiently for Harry and stood up and dashed to the door when I heard him honk his car horn.

"Maussi! I'm leaving!" I bellowed before I ran out

I smiled to myself, seeing the change in attitude and walked out to where Harry waited in his Beetle in the driveway. A warm smile graced his face as he saw me and leaned over to open the passenger seat door.

"Good morning, Haz" I greeted once I was seated and Harry replied, "Good morning as well, my Indian lass" and added a cheeky wink to it

"Don't ruin it, Styles. Drive" I threatened to which he just chuckled and gave a mock salute. The engine started with a slow hum and my eyes glued to the familiar scenery all the way to school. We reached school in a few minutes time and dashed to the dance studio, whose keys I got from the janitor

I looked around, admiring the huge room aligned with long mirrors until a shout broke me out of my reverie

"Out of the way people! Tommo with cake coming through!!" Louis announced in his high pitched voice as he pranced into the centre of the room, balancing a wobbling cake box in his hands. He was followed by rest of the gang, especially a clearly annoyed Liam.

"They're not deaf, Lou" He mumbled and I chuckled at his pissed off expression. They made their way over to us, who had set up a folding table, and set the box there.

"Phew!" Lou sighed and wiped an nonexistent bead of sweat from his forehead. Danielle sashayed forward and unboxed it so we all could see the cake.

"Ta-da!" She said as she held the box high at an arm's length from the cake and everyone gasped

"Mirror? Seriously!" I was the only one who was confused as my voice cut through their admiring silence. They turned to me with isn't-that-obvious expressions.

"You don't know?" Danielle asked, her face mocking shock, but a smile penetrating through her features.

"What's with Zayn and mirror?" I asked and Niall explained-

"Zayn is vain... He can't stand a day without checking his oh-so-perfect self in a mirror at least 5 times!"

I chuckled and asked, " Seriously?" But when I give it a further thought, Zayn did seem quite attached to mirrors. He'd always run his fingers through his jet black hair, styling it to perfection.
