Friendzoned? - A Zayn Malik fanfiction

Chapter 2: "Are we gonna keep bumping into each other?"

I still can’t believe Lauren said I fancy Zayn! He may be ridiculously handsome, and have the most beautiful brown eyes I’ve ever seen, but did she forget the fact that I don’t know him? She kept telling me that this was my chance, and if I did not fall into him on purpose, fate wanted us to meet and be together. Yesterday I had to hear theories about why we should be together, and this morning she even texted me asking if I dream about him. To be honest I did, but I couldn’t tell her that!

At college, things started to be “normal”. You should think they would give us more than one day to get used to it, but no. We were given books, and told that our schedules were to find on the internet. I’m happy I saved up money to buy a MacBook Pro this summer, because surviving without a laptop would almost be impossible. Poor Lauren broke hers this summer, but the school lent her one.

It was break time so Lauren and I walked down to the cafeteria with our new friends, Noah and Annabel. As we grabbed some food and found a table, I bumped into someone and dropped my food and juice. I couldn’t believe this was happening again. I looked up, just to meet some familiar brown eyes, and I was kinda relieve it was someone I actually knew. In front of me stood Zayn, who was soaked wet because I spilled my juicy all over his shirt. He was smiling.

“Well, isn’t that the clumsy Rita! I don’t hope this is how we’re going to meet every time cause bumping into each other isn’t healthy”

He said, and winked at me. I could feel my cheeks burning, and I really didn’t know what to do because the whole cafeteria was now focusing on us.

“Here let me help you with this”

He started collecting my food from the ground. Quickly I bent down to help him, and dumped all the food in the trash.

“Thank you Zayn, and sorry for making your shirt wet. I have an extra shirt in my bag if you want it? It’s unisex and plain white”

I said smiling at him and handed him the shirt. Somehow I felt so calm around himeven though I made myself look like a fool around him; I knew he didn’t have negative thoughts of. I don’t know why, it was just a feeling. He accepted the shirt and said he better get going, because the break was about to end.

“Dammit”

I thought to myself. I didn’t even get anything to eat…

Back at the table Lauren, Annabel and Noah was talking about something. I joined them and asked what they we’re talking about, because Lauren seemed quite surprised by what Noah and Annabel have been telling her.

“First of all: Nice move, up there. I can’t believe you said I bumped into handsome boys to flirt, when you “accidently” bumped into Zayn twice now”

She said making quotation marks with her hands, at the word accidently.

“Secondly: Annabel and Noah just told me Zayn is one of the popular boys in school”

She pointed at Annabel, telling her to continue. Annabel continued

”Usually they are all pretty rude to people who aren’t in their group, but Zayn is the kind one. He dumped his girlfriend last week, and thank God, because she is one sick bitch. She wouldn’t let anyone look at him, let alone TALK to him.”

I was confused because Zayn didn’t seem to be the one hanging around the popular kids.

“The rumors say that his ex-girlfriend, whose name is Katy by the way, plans on getting him back. But I don’t think it’s going to happen. Zayn never really showed that he was into her, he was just too kind to say no when SHE asked him out”
