Long Time, No See (Zayn Malik)

Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Delaney's POV

"Something like that." I replied. He grinned in return. Over his shoulders I saw his band mates walking towards us with confused expressions on their face.

"Oh Laaaaaneeeeeey!" I heard Hannah Call from behind me. "You'd never guess who I found on the way to the buffet, which by the way is all free and looks VERY delicious. But that's beside the point."

She was standing in front of me now, totally and completely oblivious to the fact that Zayn was right behind her. "Corinna and Stephanie made it!" She yelled excitedly. She threw her hands up and accidently hit Zayn. "Oh, sorry!" she apologized barely paying attention.

"Hannah." I said getting her attention. She just looked at me. I sighed and grabbed her shoulders turning her around. She gasped out loud and Zayn grinned.

"Zayn!" she yelled throwing her arms around his neck. "Oh my god. It's been so long." She said stepping back. "Like my shirt?" she asked. Zayn laughed.

"Yeah sweetie, it's great." he said to her. He looked at me. "She still talks a lot."

"Mhm. Try living with her." Hannah threw her hands up in the air, clearly exasperated.

"I'm standing right here." Zayn and I just laughed at her. We heard a coughing coming from behind Zayn. He turned around to his band mates.

"Oh." He smiled sheepishly. "Boys, this is Hannah and Delaney, Delaney and Hannah this is Niall, Harry, Liam and Louis." he said introducing all of us. We exchanged HI's.

"It's Laney.'' I said impatiently. Hannah frowned at me, telling me to be nice with her eyes.

"Now that we know your names, how do you know our Zayn here?" the curly haired boy asked. Hannah grinned.

"I'll tell you the entire story if we can go eat. I'm starving!" She said.

"Me too!" agreed the blonde boy. Hannah clapped her hands and smiled at him. What was his name again? Oh yeah Niall. Niall held out his arm to Hannah and she took it willingly. I followed closely behind them and Zayn was walking beside me.

"So how have you guys been lately?" Zayn asked. I glanced over at him briefly and looked ahead again.

"You know you would actually know that if you even tried to keep in contact with us." I replied with a slightly bitter tone. Hannah must have heard me because she turned her head slightly to give me a glare. I sighed and changed my tone. "We've been good. Taking college classes and living life."

"I'm sorry about that you know."

I shrugged him off, hoping that this conversation would end soon. As if god answered my prayers we made it to the buffet. Everyone was filling their plates and I noticed Niall had the most food. When we finished with that we set off the find a table. We ended up moving two tables together to comfortably fit all of us.

"Okay so everyone now has food. How do you know Zayn?" They curly hair boy asked.

"Damn, I really need to remember these names." I scolded myself. Since I was too wrapped up in my thoughts Hannah took to answer his question.

"Well Harry," Harry! That's his name! "We knew Zayn before you did! We lived in London about seven years ago but both of our dads worked at the same company and got transferred here to the states. So we moved to Florida." Hannah explained.

"If you used to live in London why do you have American accents?" The one with the kind eyes asked. I smiled at him sweetly.

"Our parents were American but moved to London. We weren't there long enough to pick up on the accent. We moved there when were about five and left at eleven." I told him. He nodded in return.

I heard a slight squeal coming from behind me so I turned around. Corinna and Stephanie were standing behind me with shocked looks on their face. I let out a chuckle.

"Hey guys." I greeted them with a smirk. I knew for a fact they were both fans of One Direction. Not huge fans but they followed them on the Xfactor and love their music.

"Hi" Stephanie greeted with a slight smile. Corinna stood there completely still. Hannah rolled her eyes.

"Boys," Hannah started, "This is Corinna and this is Stephanie. They're friends of ours from high school. Girls, this is one direction." Hannah finished with a smirk. She had told them multiple of times that we were friends with Zayn from One direction and they never believed her.

The boys gave a chorus of HI's in perfect unison. I swear they practice this on their free time. We made room for them to sit down with us. Stephanie sat next to Hannah and Corinna sat next to me.

"So how was high school for you guys?" Zayn asked. The question was directed to me but Corinna answered.

"Long." She told him. Hannah let out a giggle.

"That's cause you're three years younger than us. Not our fault we graduated first." Hannah teased.

"I though High School was fun!" Hannah commented. "Senior year could've been better but I thought it was great. But enough about us! Zayn what have you been up to?"

"Just been touring around the world with my mates." He said casually. Hannah shrugged as if she wouldn't push anymore which was odd considering this is Hannah.

"I have an idea! Let's go swimming!" Stephanie added.

We all agreed on the idea and everyone left to get their swim suits. Hannah and I were staying in the same room because it was more affordable than paying separately. As we turned down the hall to go to our room we waved by to the others.
