[A/N: NO PROOFREADING YET HERE. Will do so soon. So sorry in advance for the bad grammar/punctuation. By the way, I don't know if you've notice but I've changed the later chapters into the past tense. I felt since most stories are written like that, I should try writing that way. SO yeah, will have to change the first few ones soon (the tense i mean). Cheers!x]

CHAPTER SEVEN - POOR UNFORTUNATE SOUL
I was reluctant to enter Nando's. I mean, this was just too public for a school project right? Especially when my partner is Zayn. And who in their right mind would meet up in a restaurant to do a project? Can't we meet up at a cafe or somewhere quiet like a library instead? I don't think I would be able to concentrate with the smell and amount of food inside.
Sigh. He better cooperate with this.
I entered the restaurant and am greeted by the smell of peri-peri chicken. The delicious smell filled my nostrils and left my mouth watering. Mhmm... my favorite.
I was a bit surprised that it wasn't packed at all. Isn't this still technically lunch time? Plus I was expecting fangirls and paprazzi. But maybe that meant that he wasn't here yet. I looked around trying to look for any sign of him.
"Excuse me. May I help you?" I heard a male voice say. I turned to see a waiter smiling at me. "I'm... looking for someone." I said a little bit unsure of whether I should tell him I was looking for Zayn Malik of One Direction. "Ahh.. Well we're closing in a bit though." He pointed at the wall clock by the counter. It was about 12:53pm.
Strange though. I'm pretty sure Nando's doesn't close this early. "Why are you closing? Doesn't Nando's close at like, 11:00pm?" I asked. "Yeah not so sure why either. The manager just told us to. Apparently there's an event or something." He answered.
"Mind if I wait until you close? My uhh... friend might arrive." Great. Just what I needed. Now how am I going to contact Zayn? It's not like I have his number or anything. The waiter just shrugged. "Yeah sure."
"Thanks..." I looked at his nametag. "...Mike." I added and laughed. He laughed and said, "No problem uhh..." He pretended to look at my invisible nametag. "...Miss?" He added an we both laughed again. Might I say, he was a funny guy.
"It's Aine." I told him. "Well no problem Aine." He gave me a big smile and nodded before he went back to waiting tables.
I sat at a corner table. I hope he gets here soon. I looked at the clock and it was already 12:57pm. Just a few more minutes to go. I take out my notebook to review my notes before my 'partner' got here. Might as well get started with the project too.
I saw a lot of customers who were leaving already. I saw Mike cleaning up the tables already. He looked and up and smiled at me. I smiled back. He walked up to me. "Hey, the manager said you should leave. Really sorry." I just gave him a smile. "It's fine." Guess I'll have to wait outside then. I stood up from my seat and picked up my things on the table. I held on to my notebook and walked towards the exit.
I looked at the clock again. Exactly 01:00pm. And as if on queue, the door suddenly opened.
I stopped walking and froze on the spot. I stared as Zayn comes in. I felt the world suddenly run in slow motion. He's wearing his signature varsity jacket and black shades. And oh gosh his hair is perfect as usual. I can't ever get used to this. But I felt my whole body completely stop responding when 4 other very attractive boys entered right after Zayn in a similar slow motioned style.
