chapter six

It had been a long two week, it was now Friday and I was working on some homework so I could have the weekend off. Sadly, I did not have a clue about what I was doing. I just did not understand it. I let my head fall down on to my desk and heard a chuckle coming from Camilla, who was laying on her bed and noticed my annoyance. 

"I don't understand a single word I just read." I groaned, getting up and walking out of our bedroom and over to the fridge to get a cup of iced tea. "Can't you ask one of your classmates for help?" Camilla said once I walked back in to the room.

"Oh yeah, that's a good idea." I said, grabbing my phone and opening my messages.

From Zane 😝: I am so bored.

Zayn and I had been talking non stop for the past week, basically always texting when we got the chance. I decided to not tell my brother and my friends much about him because somehow they had already judged him. 

We had gotten pretty close, hence why his name was Zane in my phone. It was one of our late night text conversations, he was annoyed because the dean, who was basically my stepfather, had sent him an email and called him Zane instead of Zayn. 

He was so annoyed that I decided to change his name in my phone, which pissed him off but it was hilarious to talk to him when he was pissed off like that.

To Zane 😝: Great, which frat house were you in again, I do not understand a single thing about our homework so I need your help.

I sent him that message and then put my phone down again. I walked over to my closet and decided to put on actual pants. I was still wearing my sweats because I had gotten semi-ready this morning. My makeup, my hair, everything was done. Then Harry cancelled our morning coffee 'date' which I wouldn't call a date because he is my friend and nothing more, so I was still in my pajama.

I slipped in to my jeans and a nice top when I heard my phone buzzing, so I walked over.

From Zane 😝: I'm in Kappa Sigma, Lils, we talked about this, how can you forget.. 🙄

To Zane 😝: See you in ten.

I smiled, the perfect response I needed. I quickly grabbed my book and notebook, stuffed them in my bag. "Cam, I'm going over to a classmate's for help with my homework." I said while grabbing my bag. "Alright, good luck." She said, not even looking up from her phone.

Then my walk began, so I got my phone and opened Google Maps to see where the frat house actually was. I thought it was pretty weird for a boy like Zayn to be in a fraternity. He seemed a lot like the independent individual, like he didn't need a frat.

I started my ten minute walk and just looked around. I passed by Theta Tau Xi, which was the frat my brother and friends were in, luckily none of them were in sight so I didn't have to tell them where I was going.

A little longer and I was met with a nice big house. It looked a little different from the other fraternity houses on campus, a little less old. Theta Tau Xi looked like it had been around for as long as Miami Dade existed. This frat house, Kappa Sigma, looked like it hadn't been around for that long. I rang the doorbell and was welcomed by a boy I had never seen before. 

He was very tall and also had some tattoo's on his arm. "Hi, I'm here to see Zayn?" I said showing him a smile, raising one of my eyebrows. "Upstairs, third room to your left." He said, giving me a wink. I raised my eyebrows and then rolled my eyes. This was definitely a different frat than the one my brother was in.

I followed his instructions, meeting a few other boys on the way. When I got to Zayn's room I knocked on the door and it opened after a few seconds.

"Welcome." He smiled, stepping to the side so I could walk in. I looked around, his room was really cool. His drawings were taped all across one of the walls and there was a big book chest on another empty wall. "Like what you see?" He said while closing the door and walking over to his bed, sitting down. I nodded and checked out all of the drawings.

"You're crazy talented Z." I said, not taking my eyes off of them.

"So what did you need my help with?" He asked, breaking my stare from his drawings. "Right." I said, walking over to his bed and sitting opposite of him. He showed me a friendly smile which I returned.

I got my book and notebook out of my bag and started asking him my questions. 

After a good half hour of him trying to explain things to me and me not understanding them, I let myself fall back on his bed and let out a loud groan. "Why do I not understand this, you act like it is the simplest thing on earth." I said, closing my eyes and letting out another groan.

I could hear Zayn letting out a chuckle and the mattress dip in, like he was removing my books from the bed and getting closer to me. "How long have you been working on this, Lily?" He asked, making me open my eyes to see he was now sitting next to me. "A good five hours." I said, furrowing my eyebrows and closing my eyes again.

"Maybe you should take a break and work on it again tomorrow." He said, patting my arm. I laughed, he was probably right. "I just hate the fact that I do not understand it." I said, rolling over so I was laying on my side. Zayn laughed, "you seem like you are pretty comfortable here." He said, laying down too so we were staring at each other.

I let out a chuckle and closed my eyes. 

We laid there in silence for a little while, the only sound was our breathing. 

I opened my eyes to see Zayn had closed his, making me think there could be a possibility he had fallen asleep. I smiled, he looked pretty cute and peaceful like this. I decided to snap a picture of it so I could annoy him with it later on.

I put my phone down on the night stand and closed my eyes again, before I knew it, I had fallen asleep too.
