Who is She? [Zalfie]

11... ❤️

Alfie

"Dude what the fuck was that?" Marcus said, walking along side me, trying to keep up with my fast pace.

I don't understand why he cares so much. I'm the one dating her, not him, I'm the one who's interested in her, not him. Even so, what's the problem? She's not some demented creature whose going to kill me in my sleep.

"What's it to you? Why are you so desperate for me not to date her?" I said bitterly, not even turning to face him.

"Oh come on. She's a nerd freak. She's never been to a party, all she does is study, and in primary school, she was the ultimate snitch. She'll ruin you Alfie. She'll ruin all of us if you let her hang about." Marcus said, still trying to stop me.

I sighed, trying to come up with something to get Marcus off my tail. "You dated Louise!"

"I was like 12 when that happened. Anyway, it was a dare. You know I wouldn't willingly go out with someone like her!" Marcus still fit get the hint that I wasn't going to reply to his harsh words. "Wait! Is that it? Is this is dare? Is that the only reason your dating her?" Marcus chuckled to himself "Nice one man!"

I became annoyed and found myself yelling as I said to him, "Or maybe it's because she's the first person to realise I'm not as much of a prick as you want me to be. I'm done with your shit." I was most defiantly surprised when Marcus stopped, not following me anymore.

I didn't quite know where I was going. Marcus would surely have told everyone what happened, Tyler would surely convince everyone to side with Marcus and if I went to find Zoe's group, that would surely be social suicide.

Maybe here's the chance Marcus didn't tell anyone? Thinking this, I decided to make my way to where I would usually hang out. Everyone was there, even Marcus.

He seemed to be in a good mood, laughing and flirting with girls, but I wasn't surprised when all that dropped as he looked at me. "Look Alfie, just fuck off, your not wanted here."

Tyler seemed more hesitant than I thought he would be, and Tanya didn't seem to be too upset with me, but I knew that if I stayed here, a fight would break out, and if I got into a fight, I'm pretty sure things with Zoe would be finished with.

What I don't understand is what pulls me to Zoe so much? Sure, she an attractive girl, but even before I had seen her, something made me question who is she? Something made me want to talk to her? Thinking through it in my head makes it sound so stupid, so why did it happen?

I sighed, walking off. I know where Zoe hangs out, and I'm pretty sure she shouldn't mind too much of her boyfriend decides to pay her a visit.

I finally decided to actually do find her, and smiled when I saw her and her friends say around a table. I didn't really know many of their names. There was Louise, Jack 1 and Jack 2, I don't really know the other ones name, and Troye, but that's about all I know. 

There seemed to be a boy and a girl there who I didn't recognise, although I have seen them around, the names just wouldn't click.

When Zoe looked at me, her smile seemed to drop slightly but it quickly returned again. "Alfie, what are you doing here?"

"Paying my girlfriend a visit." I said, over emphasising the word. At this point I was confused. I saw one of the twins faces drop slightly, but Marcus and Tyler have told me Zoe used to date Troye, and Troye defiantley wasn't one of the twins.

I ignored it and say in the place Louise and just opened up for me next to Zoe. I wrapped an arm around her, and felt her flinch slightly at my touch.

"Hands above the waist at all times Deyes!" Louise said, laughing as she noticed my arm around Zoe. Zoe went bright red and chuckled awkwardly.

"So, Alfie, what made a stupid jerk like you want to date Zoe?" Troye said in a bitter tone as he stabbed a fork into his food.

"Calm your shit Troye!" A girl with blonde hair said. I'm pretty sure she's related to the twins in some way or another.

The blonde boy next to Troye laughed stupidly, "Troyes just jealous cause he's getting no action."

A few other people laughed slightly, even me, but Zoe just went bright red and pushed her arm away from me as she stood up. "I've got to go."
