Chapter 2

The role of Lilac is played by Emily Tennant. :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I didn't feel like getting up today but, I sat up with a jolt when I realized Lilac would be here in almost thirty minutes. Showering didn't take long and I put on a green t-shirt and my beanie. I arranged all the stuff we needed for doing our project and made sure my room looked tidy. I'm normally a messy person and everything in my room is always cluttered but, I didn't want her to get a bad first impression of mine.

Half an hour passed but, she wasn't here yet. Maybe, she canceled it because she has better plans. I didn't get offended though, who would want to waste their weekend by doing a boring history project with a freak like me? I was better off myself. I decided to go up in my room and listen to some music. I had Melanie to keep me company, I don't need anyone.

I took one last look outside and then, went upstairs to my room. As I was about to open the door, the doorbell rang. Ugghh... I'll have to go downstairs again, I feel pretty lazy today. Laying around and doing nothing sounds like a good idea. I went down the stairs and ran a hand over my hair before opening the door. Lilac stood there, grinning widely. She was dressed in a cute blue dress and she clutched her books to her chest as she said-"You really thought I wasn't coming, didn't you?" I suddenly felt guilty and shook my head. "I was just running late, that's it."-She explained. Stop being so quick to judge people, Zayn. You hate it when others do that to you.

She looked over my shoulders inside my house and that's when I realized we're still standing outside. "Oh! Come in, Lilac."-I invited her in. "I think we should go to my room and get started. Would you like some coffee?"-I asked politely. She smiled and agreed. As I was leading her to my room, my elder sister- Doniya, saw us. She raised her eyebrows at me and winked. I widened my eyes and asked her to stop. This is the first time I have ever brought girl to our house, even if it's just for schoolwork and so everybody's acting crazy and giving me 'those' looks.

I asked Lilac to wait in my room as I made some coffee for us. I didn't know how she likes hers so, I made it like mine- thick and less amount of sugar in it. I carried our cups on a tray to my room and saw her observing the pictures on my room's walls. She was looking at a childhood picture of mine in which I was standing without a shirt on a pile of sand. It's kind of embarrassing; I don't know why we even have these pictures framed on our walls.

"Hey, there. I brought us some coffee."- I said breaking the silence. She simply turned towards me and sat on the couch. "Your pictures are pretty cute."-She compliments while motioning towards the wall. "Haha, thanks."-I don't know how to take a compliment. I set up the tray on the table in front of us. She wraps her hands around the coffee mug and mumbles a "Thank you" to me. "So, how are we getting started?"-I enquire about our project. "Hmm... Let's see. We can do some research on the Mayan civilization and write all the important points down. That would be enough for today, when do we have to submit it?" "On the 10th of the next month." "Cool, we have enough time to do it."-she smiles to herself.

I took out my laptop and handed it to her. "Nice wallpaper you got there."-she chuckles. A picture of me photoshopped with Melanie Ryan was set as my wallpaper. I know it's absolutely silly to do that kind of stuff but, I couldn't help it. I was just too desperate to get a picture with her. "So, Mayan civilization, huh? Let's do this."-She began to jot down some points on her notepad as I sat there and watched her. If she is noting the points then what am I supposed to do? I noticed she purses her lips when she concentrates on something and lets out sighs when she's done with something big. She played with strands of her blonde hair occasionally. She's making notes about Mayan civilization and I'm making notes about her. How cool! "Zayn?"-Her voice snapped me out my trance as I locked eyes with her. "Can you please search for more information while I start doing the project?"-She asked. "Sure."- So now, I had some work to do. This is not one of the projects where one person does everything. At least, I'm doing something.

She went ahead with the project as I was reading up about the Mayan Civilization. Like c'mon, this is so boring. I have so much fanfiction to read; I can't wait till I finish this. "You found something useful?"-she enquires from across the room. "A lot, actually. I wonder if you could use some these."-I answered while gesturing to the screen. "Let me see."-she sits beside me and looks at the laptop. She bites her lower lip and I know she's thinking hard. "I want to check our history book too. Do you have it?" "Yeah, I do. It's on that shelf."- I said pointing towards it. She stretches her hand to get it but, she couldn't. It was on the topmost shelf. "Let me get that for you, shorty."- l laughed. She pouted and said-"I can get it on my own." "No, you can't."- I argued. She tried to jump and reach for the book-that's where it all went wrong. In the effort to reach the book, she knocked down the books on the third shelf and the second shelf and so on. "Oh Lord! Lilac, move away otherwise those books will fall on your head."- I shouted. She shrieked and moved towards me as we watched all my books fall into a heap. "I'm sorry."-she looked at me apologetically. "Don't be so feisty from now on."-I smiled smugly at her. "I'll help you clean up!"-she said enthusiastically to make up for it.

After we both finished cleaning up, Lilac and I took a walk outside my house. "And you are breaking me again, just like you always do. You can't stay true for a day, can you?"-Lilac was humming lyrics to Melanie's new song-"It's over." I decided to strike a conversation on this topic. After all, it is the reason why we talked in the first place. "You like that song?"- I asked her. "Of course! I love it."-she stated as if it was obvious. Yes, it was. "I saw you writing fanfiction the other day."-I tried to know more about her. She blushed and said-"Yes. I write fanfiction about her but, no one knows it." "I bet you're good at it. Who's the male lead?" "Evan Fisher." "What?"- I almost spit out the gum I was chewing. I hate Evan Fisher, I really do. I hate him for breaking Mel's heart; I hate him for cheating on her. "Why would you write about him?"-I was really annoyed. "I write about him because Mevan was adorable. They ended up in a bad way but, I shipped them so hard I couldn't help it. Besides that, Evan is hot."- She explained. I rolled my eyes.

"Do you read fanfiction?"-she looked up at me. "Yes, I do."-I admitted. "Would you like to read mine?"-she offered looking at me hopefully. "Self-promotion, huh?"- I raised my eyebrows at her as she giggled. "Sure, what's your username?" "It's @LilacH13 and my book is named 'Poison'."-she replied. "Sounds interesting. Even though I think Evan is a jerk, I'm going to read it."- I spoke. "Thank you. I should get going now, I told my mom that I would be home before lunch." "I can walk you to your home if you want?"-I offered. "Oh no, it's alright."-she waved at me before disappearing through the crowd in the neighborhood.

Honestly, I didn't want her to leave. I felt so comfortable around her and I was less clumsy. I don't know why though. Maybe because she was clumsier than me? She seemed pretty adorable to me.
