Together Alone (a Zayn Malik fanfic)

I threw my bag down and went straight to the kitchen, my focus on food. I was so preoccupied with hunger I failed to notice my brother, Andrew, and his best friend, Zayn. 

"Well, hey there!" Andy remarked, bringing me out of my food trance.

"Oh, hi!" I said, grinning at them. 

Andy ruffled my hair, even though he knew I hated that, " How was school today, Maya Papaya?"

"Fantastic, and don't call me that Andy!!" I pushed him jokingly.

He turned to Zayn, "Remember how she got that nickname?" I groaned loudly and they smiled evilly.

Zayn joined in, "When you were four, we gave you papaya to try for the first time but you made such a huge mess. We walked into the kitchen to find the walls and floor orange!"

They laughed hysterically and Andy threw his arm around my shoulder, "Three days later and we were still picking papaya out of your hair!" I tried my best angry face but burst out laughing; he knew I couldn't stay angry at him.

"You know, you wouldn't want me to tell any of your stories, Captain Banana." I winked at him and took a bite of my sandwich. "And why are you here?" I spat at Zayn, jokingly of course. Zayn was like my  other big brother; he and Andrew were joined at the hip for as long as  could remember. He was actually there for the papaya incident.

"Oh, I feel so welcome!" He replied sarcastically. I rolled my eyes and he smiled, "Actually, we were just about to go."

"Please, don't leave on my account." I retorted.

He laughed, "Later Maya!" Then he grabbed a half of my sandwich and started to leave before I could protest. 

Andy smiled, "Bye love." He gave me a kiss on the cheek before running after Zayn. "Hey! I'm driving!" That was the last thing I heard before the door shut. I glanced at my empty plate and sighed; boys will be boys.
