We're both on Cloud Nine- Zayn Malik Fan Fic

~Present Day~

~Rydell's P.O.V~

The sun started to shine through my window. Why is the sun shining so early? Fuck. I slept in. I only had thirty minutes to get ready and get to school. I may have a "bad girl image" but I really didn't like being late to school. Especially on the last day of school. I barely made my way through senior year and no way in hell did I plan to attend college.

I quickly brushed my teeth and combed my hair. I put my hair in a messy bun and ran to my closet. I looked through it and found a pretty floral dress. I had this weird obsession with dresses. Especially with one's who showed the back. I decided against it once I figured out it was windy, so I pulled on a thin jumper and jeans. I got my Jordan's from under my bed and put them on. I took on last look in the mirror and ran downstairs.

"Aren't you gonna eat Rydell?" Nicole asked. "I'll take the juice and a piece of toast. Sorry but I woke up late so I'm in a rush."

"Really? Sorry I didn't notice what time it was. I know you hate being late to school." she said handing me the juice and toast. "Its okay! Its my fault anyways. I Slept late. I'll see you later! Bye!" I drank the juice and I ran down the street as fast as I could.

After the night my parents died, Charlie and his wife, Nicole, took me in. They really weren't as strict as my parents were. They were a young crazy couple in love. They were probably 5 years older than me and I was soon turning 19.

Once I turned the corner my school was in sight. I quickly walked over since I was tired. "Great 30 minutes late." I made it to my school and went by the office to get a tardy slip. I went to my first class. I walked in and made my my way to the front corner of the room where my desk was at. I wasn't any good at math so most of the time I zoned out.

School flew by quicker than I imagined. The graduation ceremony was the next day and I was eager to simply get my diploma.

"Hey Nicole!" I greeted her as I walked through the door. "Hey kiddo" she said. "Aren't you happy you're finally done with school?" she asked. "Yeah I just want it to be tomorrow already and get my diploma." I told her. "Don't worry tomorrow will come soon enough." she said.

I went upstairs and I started to draw. Most of the times I would draw Zayn's hazel eyes. The last time I saw him was the same night my parents died. I never heard from him. I didn't like him but his eyes were a picture I couldn't get out of my head. The beautiful sunset filled my room with light. I took a shower and hopped into bed.

Sleep took over my body

~Next Day~

"I'm gonna go to a party later on so I'm not gonna be here." I explained. "Alright okay." she said.

We had just came back from my graduation ceremony which wasn't any fun for me.It was starting to get late so I quickly hopped into the shower. After I was done I put my clothes on. I then applied my make up and made sure I was good. An hour and a half later Brett was outside waiting for me. Brett was one of the guys I would hang around. I guess we just looked for each other when we wanted to have sex, so we're like friends with benefits? I hopped into his car and we made our way to the party.

I had been feeling very stressed out lately and it was killing me. I know it sounds bad but my only escape was smoking. Charlie and Nicole had hid their weed from me because they knew I would take it all. That's pretty much the reason why I wanted to come.

We got to the party and we went our separate ways. I greeted the people there. I knew almost everyone in this house. I finally got my hands on some weed and smoked it from my pipe.

The feeling was relaxing.

When people smoke there are usually two types of people. The cool chill ones and the crazy hyped up ones. I was a bit of both. Mixing the weed with beer energized me and I started to dance where girls were grinding with a random guy they just met. I felt free like a bird when someone put there hands on my waist. Everything was a bit clouded but I still followed the boys lead.

He pulled me closer and I could feel him getting hard. I kept grinding on him until I left him. He got mad as he realized he just got teased.

I again got my pipe and took a big wiff out of it soon releasing it out in the air. I took another swing out from my beer bottle and let both of them sink in. Everything started to get more clouded. Next thing I knew I was making out with a random guy.

After I got tired of him I got up and started to make my way into the kitchen for another beer. I looked back as Brett called me but I kept walking. I bumped into a guy with a black leather jacket. He turned around. I couldn't clearly see his face but there was something about his eyes that made me feel safe. The guy grabbed me and took me out the door. Ha. He must really want a one nighter. Ehh I'll let him have it.

~Zayn's P.O.V~

The person I would have least expected to see was here. Rydell. I pulled her out of the house and into my black challenger. Last time I saw her she was so innocent. Now she was nothing like the girl I met. I knew she would mess around but I didn't really think she would drink, smoke, and make out with random guys. I saw her make out with that guy and it took every ounce within me to not punch that guy. When I saw her I had this instant feeling of protecting her again. I know she isn't this type of girl. From all the frustration I pulled over and parked over where the park was at. Rydell was still in another world. It pissed me off that she would do these things to herself. I got out of the car and took a quick smoke.

After I finished I got back in the car. Not only was she high she was drunk. She kept asking me if we were going to "do it"

I pulled up in front of a Charlie's house. She got out of the car and pulled out her key. She opened it and stumbled as she went in. I quickly took off.
