Chapter Six

ZAK'S POV

"So what is your full name?" 

I asked, she looked down at me and frowned, what did I do now? "What?"

"I want to ask the questions first" she huffed. I laughed, she's so childish, I don't know what Alishba was talking about when she called her shy. And for a girl who's never talked to a guy before she is not shy.

"Too bad, now tell me what your full name is"

"Aisha Islam" she replied, "I don't think I have a middle name, my parents never bother with that kind of stuff" she lay flat on the bed and looked down at me. She wasn't wearing her hijab, I don't know if that was a good or bad thing. I'm not allowed to see her without her hijab on, but her hair is really nice. 

"Mines Zackariah Muhammad Khan" I said, "Saves you having to ask me that question, anyway what's your favourite colour?" 

"yellow, I already told you, oh yeah and I like red don't ask why it's not a colour you'd find a teenage girl liking" She replied,"What's your favourite colour?"

"blue, but it's me asking the questions, not you, um... are you my friend?" When it's too late, I realize how stupid that question really is. It's the sort of thing Innayah would ask and she's like five, I think.

"Aw, if you want Zacky" She said. Whoa. What? Replay.

<<

"Aw if you want Zacky"

>>

No. You will not call me Zacky. Just because I am friends with you, doesn't mean you can act like my mother when she's finished her monthly cycle and call me Zacky. However... she is cute when she calls me that. 

"Do. Not. Call. Me. Zacky." I said, gritting my teeth, pretending to be mad, but she just giggled. And that was cute too, which wasn't helping, because she's already so cute, and I really don't want to be friends with someone who's cute and that I have no chance with.

"Okay whatever you say... Zacky"

"Ugh, anyway next question, are you a dog or a cat person?" I asked.

"Neither, they poop everywhere" She replied, "One time when I was like eight, I had a light up scooter and we went to the beach to ride it for a bit. It was fun and everything, until a dog started chasing the scooter, so I dropped it and ran off. The dog legit ate my scooter, and it was my favourite one as well. It lighted up Zacky! It was blue!" She complained

"Alright calm down" I laughed, ha I should have been there that day, "What's your dad like?"

"Why do you want to know what my dad is like?"

"Because I don't have one" Ugh, this is stupid this is stupid.

"What happened to him?"

"He died last month, he worked in the army, because where he lived, and then he didn't want to quit the job so he died in the war"

"This is... awkward, I feel bad for you Zacky. But, my dad is very smart, and into education, but he's still cool" She's the first person who hasn't said sorry, every time someone finds out about my dad being dead they say sorry. Which sounds like they were the ones who killed him.

"Next question, have you ever had a secret boyfriend, because I know your mum won't let you"

"No. I've never even had a boyfriend, or a boy that is my friend, so you are my first boy that is my friend" She said, trying not to call me her boyfriend. Which I wouldn't mind. No I would. No you wouldn't. Yes I would.

The door opened and mum walked in with two mugs of hot cocoa. Best Mum ever.

"I thought you two weren't going to go to sleep that early. But, remember-"

"Yes mum, we know it's school tomorrow" I said taking the hot cocoa, "ooh whipped cream and sprinkles" Aisha laughed when I said that.

"You're so weird" She laughed sipping her cocoa, "I like it though" she said when mum left, "I'm tired, can I ask you questions now?" 

"No, I only asked five, next question what's your favourite food"

"ice cream, I can live of it" she yawned, aw she looks so cute when she yawns. Zak stop saying that. Just settle with the fact that she looks very cute all the time. 

I talk to myself is that weird?

Yes. 

What? Sometimes I need expert advice.

"Zacky! I want to ask the questions now, I'm so tired, I almost spilled my hot cocoa" She complanied, I laughed, she had whipped cream on her upper lip, "What? Stop laughing at me!" She wiped it away and yawned again.

"Okay ask me a question then" 

"Why are you so annoying?" She asked, I took a sip of my cocoa and was about to reply when she did

"I know, because you're related to Alishba" I laughed, "Do you have a crush on anyone from our school, like Leah or something?" 

"Leah? Why would I have a crush on her? And no I don't have a crush on anybody" I lied, was I blushing? Zackariah Khan does not have crushes on people. And Zackariah Khan does not blush. Well, I wish he didn't blush because that's just embarrassing. 

"You're blushing" Oh sugar, "Anyway, I have loads of questions, like where did you live before you moved here? did you know Amir and Aaron before you moved?" She put her empty mug on the bed side table, and laid down, "what's your favourite food?, why is your favourite colour blue? If you've never had a girlfriend or a crush, do you want one? How the hell are you related to Alishba?"

"Calm down, I don't know half the things you said, and plus I still have thousands more question for you..." She didn't reply, "Aisha? Aisha? Aisha?" I looked up and she was sleeping. Aw she's so cu- No, I'm not going to say it, I'm not going to say it. Okay I'm going to say it.

She's adorable when she sleeps.
