When I Look At You (A Zayn Malik Love Story)

Chapter 10 What Can We Call It?

Zayn's Point of View

Penny disconnected the call and I kept my phone in my bag. I was grinning like an idiot.

"I am in lovvvveeeee......oh i am in loooovvveeee...." Niall was singing like a moron. I hit him playfully on his arms and sat beside him. The TV was on and the repeats of The Seinfield was coming. Its my favourite.

"This girl has to be special. This Penny," Louis came and sat beside me. I smiled faintly at the idea that Louis also thought she is special.

"She is. Damn special." I said. Harry, Liam and Niall laughed at my reaction or maybe at the mishaps of Sheldon in the show.

"Zayn. You have no idea but dude you are so in love," Harry said as he stuffed his mouth with popcorns.

"Yeah! Anyways. Penny is the first girl who Zayn willingly gave her his number," Niall spoke with his mouth filled with food.

"Guys its nothing," I tried to defend myself. But why was I doing it? I know Penny is special and somewhere down the line I do have feelings for her. But isn't it a bit too early to decide that its love or not?

"Zayn do you like Penny?" Liam asked me. 

"Yeah...kind of," I said nervously.

"Don't break her heart dude. She was really sad today," Liam said. What? He saw her cry??? When?

"When did you-----"

"In the rooftop." He looked at me. 

"Oh."

"You should tell her that you like her Zayn," Louis said. I looked at him in bewilderment.

"Dude. She totally blew off her head when I heard her singing and got pissed off when I kissed her. So there is a 100% chance she will totally reject me if I tell her that I like her."

"Then make her like you," Harry said. Make her like me???? He got a good point actually.

"But how Hazza??" I asked him. Then all of them turned to give me a you-didn't-say-that look and then fell down laughing.

"You are asking that??? You Zayn Malik??" Niall said through his laugh. Hello???? Whats the big deal in it????? She is Penelope Winchester. Different from the other girls.

"Use your charms Zayn. Use it. Show her who you are," Harry said and turned back to look at the tv.

Charms?

"Zayn. Please in all this don't hurt her. She is a sweet girl," Liam genuinely.

"Yeah.Don't ever hurt her or else I will hit you with a carrot," Louis said and hit me on the back of my head.

"Ow!" I faked the hurt noise. We all laughed at this and enjoyed the rest of the night like this. 

Without my best friends slash band mates, I couldn't even think of my life now.

Next Day In The Homeroom Of St. Patricks

We reached the homeroom exact on time. Liam was busy discussing some Geography questions with Niall as they were in the same class( studious chaps you see) and Harry was busy grinning at the girls passing by. When we entered the class, I looked around to see Penny. 

And she was there. Sitting in the last seat, talking to some girl with her eyes fixed on the book in her hand. 

I kept staring at her like an idiot. 

"Dude. Charm her. Remember?" Harry said silently to me and went to sit.

I walked to the last seat ans sat beside Penny. 

"Hey," I said acting all cooly but failing miserably. She blushed in return.

"Hi," she said back. From the corners of my eyes I could many girls glaring at her. I felt like wrapping her up and take away from here. But sadly it was a school so I couldn't do it.

The teacher came in. 

"Students today you all are expected in the auditorium at 2 pm for a Band Competion," Miss Spencers said. When I looked to see Penny I saw her go all stiff and literally saw her eyes go all wide.

Whats up with this girl?

"Penny are you ok?" I asked a bit hesitantly. This girl suprises me most of the time.

"Yeah. How was your last night?" She changed the topic in no time.

"Well hung around with the boys and watched Sienfield."

"Hey thats my favourite too." She had the same smile on her face. Her smile was contagious.

"Harry is crazy for that show." 

"Well I am too."

We talked till the bell rang. It was so easy to talk with her. It felt like I knew her for ages not just one day.  

She definately is different from others.

"So see you later Zayn," she said and went off to her class. 

Just as I was getting up to go to my English class, a girl, maybe from our homeroom came infront of me.

"You are Zayn Malik right?" she asked me in an flirtatious tone.

"Yeah......" I said not sure what else to say. I got used to the fan girls but sometimes it really gets damn wierd.

"I saw you were hanging around with Penelope Winchester," she again said.

That caught my attention. She knew Penny. But why is she saying this in such a way?

"Yeah so whats the big deal."

"Oh you don't know what a bitch that Penny is. She is a such a mean bitch that she gave away her song to some boyfriend of hers who just used her."

I couldn't believe my ears. What the hell is she saying?

"Penny could do like that? But..."

"Zayn..." It wasn't the earlier girl but it was Penny herself.

I turned to look at her. I saw tears and hurt in her eyes. She thought I believed this girl????

Please no!!!

"I just came to take back my book but then I saw you talking to Sandra about how bitchy I am," she said and picked up her book. She turned her back.

"Penny I didn't believe her. I swear," I said.

"Its alright Zayn. I am used to this." She said and left the class. Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell did I do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I faced the girl Sandra who was grinning wickedly.

"So now she is gone, maybe we could..........." she put her hands on my chest but I backed away.

"Stay away from me and Penny," I said, took my bag and ran off from the class to see where Penny was.

I need to talk to her.

Screw the charms!!!!!!!!!! They don't work a shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
