New Kid (Perrie Edwards/You)

Chapter 9

Perrie's POV
"Hey, beautiful." A boy with slicked back hair and a leather jacket slides into the seat next to me. 
"H-hi." I almost ask.
"I'm Zayn." He holds his hand out for me to shake. I do, cautiously. 
"P-Perrie." Why's he talking to me? He's way too good looking to want to be friends with me. He's faking, just like Leigh-Anne and Jade.
"I couldn't help but notice you looked a bit lonely," he says. "I am too, to be honest. It's my first day here."
"I-I'm fine." I say. "Why- why'd you choose to sit with me, the loner, rather than I don't know? Maybe the people over there?" I point to a group of boys, who're all wearing leather jackets and seem to be perving on the lunch ladies.
"I was sitting with 'em before. They're nothing but a bunch hormonal teens that listen to Jedward and pretty much can't read."

"Jedward?!" I say, gathering confidence. "Them?!"
"Yup."
We end up bantering for the rest of lunchtime, me often looking at (Y/N) out of the corner of my eye - she looks as though she's absolutely furious, for reasons unbeknownst to me. The end of lunch approaches quickly - too quickly, in fact.
"Hey, Perrie, I've really enjoyed getting to know you. D'ya maybe wanna take my number and we can hang out some other time?"
"I can give you my number," I say, fishing in my backpack and handing him a business card-esque thing with my phone number printed on it. "My dad made them for me. Just in case something happens. It's cringey, I'm sorry."
"Nah, I reckon it's sweet." Zayn says and I feel my cheeks getting a bit hot. "I'll text you, yeah?"
"Sure." I say. I'm coming out of my shell - hopefully for the best.

Soz for the shit chapter. It's a filler, but chapter 10 might have a fight scene or some shit in it.
