Chapter 1:The Dream

Chapter 4: Zayn (The Gentleman)

My full attention wasn't in the lectures given by Mrs. Antonov our Language teacher. I didn't even noticed that she was infront of me when I started crying. She suddenly stopped and asked me if  I was just okay. "Ms. Sophia Daphne Ann Montejero are you just fine?" Mrs. Antonov asked in a very hard English Russian accent. And in an instance I was back to reality. I wiped my tears and said "Sorry for the disturbance Mrs. Antonov I promised that won't happen again.." "Wiped your tears darling you don't want to be scolded by the school's head for crying inside the premises don't you? And it would be better if Mr. Malik would let you borrow his handkerchief taht would be a manly duty if he does." I was shocked by what Mrs. Antonov said I looked in teh direction where Zayn was sittingand he was giving his handkerchief. I was so shy to accept it and I wiped the handkerchief to dry my tears. "Very good that's what you called a manly duty boys. So let us go back to our lessons shall we? Mrs. Antonov said while winking her right eye. I smiled in response and continued wiping my tears. My tears were now dried and I returned Zayn's handkerchief. "Thanks" I said smiling.. "Keep it you need it more tahn I do." he said smiling. It was my first time to see him smile and suddenly my hate for him was instantly gone with just a matter of one smile.

The bell had rang and its time to go home. While I was in the corridor someone unexpectedly tap my shoulder and said "Are you just alright Sophia?" he asked. I turn around and was shocked to see Zayn behind me. "Umm yes well thank you for the handkerchief it really helps alot." I said while blushing. "I'm glad it helps you. Well are you going home now?"he asked. "Well yes but before taht I'm gonna go grab some veggies  for Mom's salad." I said. "Why would he asked taht?" I asked myself. "Good maybe we can go home together and besides I'm just new to the place maybe I'll get lost without any chaperons. You wouldn't mind that do you?" he asked. I was shocked again was he really Zayn or he was just acting nice so that he will find his way back home.? He was waiting for my reply so I just said yes. We were too quiet while heading home and I was shocked cause Zayn was the one who broke the ice. "Well I just wanna say sorry for acting so rude yesterday and this morning I was just so rude at people I just met. Sorry." he apologized. "It's fine I understand your situation." i smile sweetly. "I know you got irritated by my manner so I'll hope you'll forgive me." he continued. "It's fine I assure you." I said laughing. "Really so we could be friends?"

"Of course we could." I laughed.  "So friends?" he said while offering his hand.  "Friends" I said shaking his hand. We both laughed so hard.

 "So Zayn what's the main reason what's the main reason you've moved in Bradford if you wouldn't mind me asking?" I asked. I've been dying to know the reason so maybe he wouldn't mind it cause were now friends. " I was kicked out of my old school because of fighting" he said his eyes now are serious. "Sorry for asking I know you don't want to talked about it." I said. "Its alright" he smiled so happily. Zayn's smile is so charming that whenever Bradford is in grief he would surely light up the whole town. I find his company very fun, we keep on exchanging  jokes that makes us laugh out loud while strolling down the street to the grocery. Our conversation gets interrupted when I went inside the store to grab some veggies. "Good afternoon Mrs. Myers" I greeted the old lady  who was the owner of the store. "Good afternoon dear Sophia" Mrs. Myers greeted in reply. I didn't know Zayn went inside.

 "You should introduced your boyfriend to us Sophia." Mr. Myers said. I was perspiring very fast and was puzzled what are they talking about? I asked myself.
