It's Just Me [Zayn Malik]

Chapter 2

His glare startled me, and I stopped fumbling around with my words. Before he could say anything, Harry and Kelsey were by me.

"Are you alright, Elle?" Kelsey asked, hugging me. I hugged her back, nodding. Meanwhile Harry was glaring at him.

A:N// This is Kelsey

"Why the fuck weren't you watching where you were going?" He spat, shoving Zayn's shoulder roughly.

Zayn just smirked, looking me up and down. He ignored Harry, locking his gaze on me instead.

"So you're Styles' new bitch?" He smirked. "Let's see how long you two last."

He walked away.

I looked at Harry and Kelsey reproachfully. "You know I bumped into him. You didn't have to make a big deal of it."

Kelsey shrugged bashfully, while Harry wrapped his arms around me.

"That's just my job, darling. You don't know what that fucker is capable of." He kissed me for the third time that day, ignoring my glowing cheeks, before smiling at me, flashing his deep dimples and walking off.

Turning back to Kelsey, I noticed she was staring at Harry's retreating back longingly. She caught me looking at her questioningly and smiled, grabbing my hand and leading me the other way.

"So, how was summer break for you?" She asked. Kelsey had gone on holiday to Spain, and her skin had tanned remarkably. She had cut her hair, and looked even prettier than she had last semester.

"It was probably the best one I've had," I replied, realising I hadn't told her that me and Harry were dating but I didn't see that to be a problem. She must have figured it out, anyway.

Like she could read my mind, she asked, "So you and Harry Styles are a thing now?"

I nodded, smiling coyly.

She smiled back and me, her smile somehow strained but I ignored it, distracted by the warning bell going off, and dragging her off to class.

It was lunchtime, and I was unsure of where to sit? Harry, or my friends? I mentally calculated, deciding I had spent a lot of time with Harry recently, and walking over to Kelsey, and two girls I had gotten closer to over the break, Reneé and Gemma.

A:N// Reneé (top) and Gemma (bottom)

I greeted them as I sat down, and began to eat, isolating myself from their conversation and letting my eyes wander.

They landed on Zayn, who sat with the people we considered "weird and troubled". My brain suddenly processed what he said said that morning. 'Harry's new bitch.' 'See how long that will last'  and I frowned. He deserved that push Harry had given him.

Kelsey's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "Why are you staring at Zayn. You should be looking out for Harry, or even sitting with him, you're his girl now." Her eyes were cold, and she was unsmiling.

I frowned, again. Me and Kelsey had been friends from third grade, and best friends since eighth. We couldn't be having problems, could we? Deciding to disregard what she had said, and cast aside the curious looks Reneé and Gemma were giving me, I smiled.

"I was just remembering this morning." I stated, recounting the story to them, and swallowing the bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
