Chasing Dreams(H.S)

Chapter 3: Ridiculously Rude Newbie?

I entered the classroom.Half of the class had settled in.I instantly spotted Zayn in the second row, who passed me a heart-warming smile.I took the seat next to him.

"Hey"
"Hey Am. How's everything?"
"Hmm. Everything's not so okay actually" I said seriously

He furrowed his brows and took my hand in his; giving me a tinglish feeling.

"Am? Whats wrong? Are you okay?" He rambled; concern evident in his tone.
"I am okay, Zayn!" I said sternly. "You are the one thats not!" He furrowed his brows; confusion written all over his voice.
"Wanna talk about what happened on Saturday night?" I said raising one of my brows.Realisation suddenly hit his features.

"Oh!...Am, look i am sorry.I really am sorry for making you upset about all this! Trust me!. I never planned on hitting Dylan, i swear! I just couldn't see him flirting with you like that.Did you see the way that sick bastard was staring at you? I couldn't stop myself.Look i am sorry if you are mad at me but i dont regret what i did." He said with such seriousness in his voice that made my insides melt but still something bugged me about all this.

"I can protect myself Zayn.I dont want you to put yourself in danger because of me.Its not fair! and i totally cant stand you and Regina treating me like a baby! I can stand up for myself you know.You guys make me unsure about myself! I cant be dependant on you guys my whole life! Dont be so selfless, Zayn.Think of yourself too and i'll manage on my own."

Zayn let out a bitter laugh.

"Am are you kidding me? I can do anything for you.Just because i care about you doesn't totally mean i am selfless.Just because i put you before myself doesn't mean I don't think about myself." He said; staring deeply into my eyes.

"Yeah.How so?" I said mockingly.
He gave my hand a light squeeze.

"Because Amanda Woods you are my happiness.Seeing you happy makes me happy too.So, by caring about you, i make you happy which in turn, makes me happy.I am not that selfless now, am i?" He said raising his eyebrows and smirking.I grinned like a goofball.

"Thats the cheesiest thing i've ever heard, Malik" i said playing with his fingers that were intertwined with mine.

"Nothings too cheesy when it comes to you Am" he said; pressing a light kiss to my forehead. The butterflies in my stomach went crazy and i felt my cheeks blush to a deep red.

"Am?"
"Hmm?"
"You are blushing" he said grinning.
"What? N-no ummm... You know? Ellen wasn't so happy about you ruining her party like that" i said; changing the subject.
"I couldn't care less about that"

And then we both started laughing like idiots; ignoring the fact that the whole class has now piled in.

Zayn is my friend who also happens to be my crush since grade 5. I mean he is so god damn protective over me and the way he treats me? Dont even get me started on about it!.He treats me like i am his girlfriend and the fact that he is super hot and cute obviously cannot be ignored.He has caramel brown eyes that are to die for and his black hair are always styled in a messy quiff.He is masculine and the guy every girl dreams to call her boyfriend.

Ms Jennifer entered the class room and greeted us.Then, as usual, she started writing the objectives for today on the board and everyone started talking to each other or scrolling through Instagram.The usual.Well I couldn't pay attention because i had a sex god sitting beside me, still holding onto my hand.

I looked at him.His black quiff was messier than usual which wasn't a bad thing.He looked even more hot.He was almost a head taller than me, my eye level was looking at his perfect pink lips which opened in a beautiful smile, that i wish i, myself owned.It revealed perfect, white teeth.
Why was he smiling?.
