Our little secret (Zendaya fanfic)

Part 7: Mia

The next morning I got ready as usual, then walked downstairs looking for my mom. She usually drives me to school the she goes to work, but she wasn't anywhere to be found. 

"Dad? Where's mom?" I ask him as he packs his lunch for work. 

"She left." He said not looking at me. I checked the time, I wasn't late waking up. It was still pretty early. Why did she leave?

"So I'm just supposed to walk all way to school? It's far, dad!" I exclaim getting mad. He looks at me with wide eyes. The first time in a while he's even looked me in the eyes.

"Find a way." He says through his teeth. He leaves me in the empty house, no way to get to school but to walk. I debate missing school today, but then talk myself out of it since my parents would get pissed. I breathe in a big breath and let it out loudly, then I started on my way to school. 

When I got there, my feet hurt like a bitch as I walked to my first period class. Zendaya was already there so I sat next her. I put my head down about to fall asleep.

"Woah are you good?" She said with a slight giggle.

"No I had to walk here. My mom left me for some reason." I mumble as I rest my head on my hand. I saw the empathetic look on her face. 

"Its fine, I made it right?" I force a small laugh to reassure her. 

"Next time, call me aight?" She placed her hand on my shoulder. There goes the butterflies. I just nod and look at her, admiring her features for like the 50th time. Just then the teacher stands up and starts writing something on the board. When she was done the board read "PROJECT". Everyone groaned but I was interested. (a/n idk what to make the project about so ill just make it as vague as possible lmao)

"Okay class. Today you will start on a very important project, it's worth 50 percent  of your grade. Choose your partners, if I see any funny business ill separate you and choose your partners myself." She says. I look at Zendaya confused.

"What does she mean 'funny business?'" I ask. 

"Some  of them are known to just fuck the whole time then turn in a shitty grade." She explains. I nod looking away. Gross.

As the bell rings signaling the end of class, I glanced at Z. She was packing her stuff then stood up. I was disappointed she didn't ask me to be her partner. I had to look for one on my own now, which I wasn't looking forward to. We walked out side by side and she continued walking me to my next class. We talked and laughed as we walked, but someone caught my eye as we walked. She was looking at me all judgy , then at Zendaya. I just looked away as I got to my classroom. 

"Oh wait. Can we go to yours after school? I haven't cleaned my room and its kinda shitty looking right now." Zendaya smirks. 

"Huh?" I look at her in confusion again. 

"Um the project. Did you forget already?" She laughed. I laughed back as I caught up to her. I let out a breath of relief as I realized she assumed we would work together. 

"Yeah sorry. No problem." I squeezed my bookbag straps.

"Cool, so meet me in the parking lot." 

"Okay ill be there." I smiled. She smiled back and winked as she left. I swear my knees went weak but the late bell brought me back as I rushed into my class. I couldn't get out of my head the thought of her and I just hanging out. I was nervous just thinking about it.  

I started walking towards the parking lot looking for her car when I saw the same girl from yesterday looking at me. She was definitely judging hard. Ignoring her, I looked around some more. I didn't realize she was walking towards me until she was right in front of me. 

"Um...hi?" I say, not knowing what else to say. She had her arms crossed and was looking me up and down.

"This is the best she could do?" She snickered. Now I was completely lost.

"Excuse me?"

"Aye! Mia!" I heard Zendaya from the distance. I looked behind the rude girl in front of me and saw her walking up to me quickly, with a smile. The girl turned around after I did. When Zendaya saw her, her face dropped and she looked annoyed. 

"What the hell do you want." Zendaya asks her. 

"You know what I want, Daya." She says getting close to her. Zendaya steps back and motions me to her. I quickly walk to her as the girl looks at me with cold, hard eyes.

"Don't fucking call me that and leave me alone, Erica." She walks away as I follow. Erica looked pissed and stomped away. I could tell Z was frustrated and annoyed so I didn't ask about anything that just happened. Damn, I hope she lightens up when we get to my house.
