KIWI | Harry Styles AU

4- Anna

My dates with Zayn continued over the next few weeks, and from the moment I'd started talking to him, I figured out that he was very closed off. He was a tough nut to crack. He was very closed off about all things that had to do with him, but he seemed to be warming up to me and letting me in little by little. I started noticing that we were very different people, but I figured that that was a good thing and that it just meant we'd compliment each other's personalities.

I was in my room getting ready for the "Date Night" Zayn's frat was having. Now, for those of you who don't know, a date night is basically when a frat or sorority is hosting an intimate get together with a date of their choosing. Zayn had invited me and I was pretty excited to go. It was supposed to be mainly other people in greek life, which was a very good opportunity to network for sororities and stuff like that. Although, to be honest, while I was there, I was really focused on trying to enjoy my time with Zayn.

I did end up slipping away once a whole lot more people started arriving because I needed to fix myself and make myself look a little more presentable again. When I walked out, I saw a Harry and Jessica very digustingly making out right outside the door, blocking my way out. I cleared my throat and watched as Jessica's face went from annoyed to fuming.

"What?" she spat.

"As much as I'd love to stand here and watch you swallow him whole, I do need to get through and you're kind of in my way," I said sarcastically. She got about 10 times angier, but Harry was kind enough to step aside and make room for me to get through. As I was walking by, Jessica had the nerve to shove me. "Oh, you're gonna regret that," I said with an annoyed laugh as I turned to look at her.

"What are you gonna do?" she asked snarkily, "Hit me? I can already see the headlines 'Governor's daughter arrested for assault and battery.'"

"Oh please, like I would stoop down to your trashy level," I said before turning and walking away. I very quickly found Zayn talking to some other frat guys. He immediately stopped the conversation and walked to me when he saw me.

"What took you so long, babe?" he smiled, "I was starting to think you'd ditched."

"I would never," I giggled, "But sorry, your friend Harry's psycho girlfriend started trying to start something with me outside the bathroom."

"What?" he asked in disbelief, "Who is she? What's her name?"

"It's fine, really," I said, everything was going to plan. I'd decided that if she was going to treat me like some snobby bitchy mean girl, that's exactly what she was getting from me., "Let's just leave it. It's done."

"No, a person like her shouldn't be here anyways," he said.

"Z, it's fine, she'll think I asked to get her kicked out and that's the last thing I want," I sighed.

"I'll handle it," he said, "Wait here, I'll be right back." I smiled and nodded.

I started talking to some of the other guys and their dates, and it was a few minutes before I heard some yelling coming from the living room. I followed everyone towards where the commotion was coming from. Zayn came up and wrapped an arm around my waist as he pulled me close to his side. I gave him a confused look and he just smirked down at me.

"No, I want to know what the fuck she said to you," Jessica yelled, "I did nothing to that bitch, she just hates me and is trying ruin my night." It wasn't long before she spotted me. "You did this didn't you?" she shouted. The next thing I knew, she was lunging towards me, Zayn stepping in front of me and catching her just before she got to me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked as I watched her kick and fight to get out of the grip of the people that were now holding her back. Zayn was back next to me.

"She didn't say anything to anyone," Liam, another one of the british boys in the frat said. "I saw it all happen, and frankly, we don't want vile people like you being a part of our events," he said, "Anna is our friend, so please just make things easier for yourself and leave." 1 point for Anna, 0 for Jessica. She shrieked in anger before walking to the door.

"Harry," she demanded "You coming?" Everyone turned to look at him. Part of me was sad that he'd leave for some reason. I had to remind myself that I didn't like him very much for a moment.

"Sorry," he stated simply, "It's my frat's event."

Jessica scoffed and muttered something about us all being assholes as she left. I did feel guilty about it, but I had to defend myself somehow, right? The party went on, and Harry disappeared for a while. It wasn't until the end of the night that I saw him again.

"Harry," Zayn called him over, "That was mad, man. You sure know how to pick 'em." Harry let out a light laugh and shrugged.

"What can I say?" He responded.

"I'm very sorry about what happened, Anna," He said, "she's usually not like that towards anyone."

"It's fine," I said, "I'm used to stuff like this happening."

"Why is that?" Liam asked.

"People think they know me and what I'm like because of what people say about me and my family," I explained, "Most of which is just untrue."

"Babe, can I talk to you on the balcony for a second?" Zayn asked. I smiled and nodded, following him out there. "So, I know tonight was kind of not the best," he started, making me laugh, "but I'd been planning on doing this tonight since like the beginning of the week." He paused for a few moments. "Okay, I'm just gonna do it," he sighed, "Do you wanna be my girlfriend?" I smiled at how nervous he seemed.

"You're kidding, right?" I giggled.

"Is that a no?" he frowned. I didn't say anything else, I got on my tippy toes and pressed my lips to his. "Hmm, that answer didn't really convince me," he joked, "I might need it again just to make sure." I laughed and connected our lips again. I wasn't 100% sure that I was making the right choice, but I really hoped I was.
