Chapter 3:

I quickly left the bus and avoided looking at Zayn.  How stupid could a guy get? He obviously knew I hated attention. I hardly ever spoke in my classes- and he was in every single one of my classes.

Since Franchessca wasn’t here today, I walked to my locker by myself.

As I approached my locker I noticed Stacy and Lydia were already there. I braced myself for the insults that were sure to come.

“Oh! Hello Dandelion!” Stacy began.

I tried to ignore her and push past her but she obviously didn’t like that.

Lydia continued for her. “So, did you sit with Zaynie Wanie today?”

Stacy rolled her eyes. “As if. Zayn only sat with her to be nice. He would never like a loser like-“

She was cut off by a voice saying, “A loser like who Stacy?”

I gasped. It was Zayn. He was sticking up for me.

‘This doesn’t mean anything Rose. He is just being friendly.’ My inner voice reminded me.

Zayn looked as angry as one could get. His face was red and his fists were clenched. It was actually quite frightening.

“Hah. Sticking up for the nerd? That is pathetic” Stacy smirked.

“Intelligence is sexy. A ditz like you isn’t.” he shortly retorted.

Appalled, the girls ran away ‘crying’.  I shyly thanked Zayn and opened my locker. He smiled at me.

“Are you alright Rosie?” He asked as I pulled my books out.

I told him that I was fine and weakly smiled.

“Listen. I am sorry about on the bus. I didn’t mean to attract so much attention. I was just surprised you came up with a sassy remark like that.” He said while frowning.

“You don’t think I can be sassy Malik?” I easily responded, trying to contain my laughter.

“Well, it’s just that you don’t talk in class you just sit there. I didn’t think you had it in you.” Zayn tried to defend himself.

I couldn’t help it. I burst out laughing.

“Wha-What?”  Zayn was obviously confused by my laughing.

“I was joking... Your face... I accept... Your apology…” I tried to get out between my obnoxious bursts of laughter.

Zayn laughed at my continuous laughing. I eventually stopped laughing and we walked into math class together. When am I ever going to use Algebra in real life?

“Seriously Rose. When will we actually use Algebra in real life?” Zayn asked me.

“You just read my thoughts.”
