18 {Zayn Malik Fanfiction}

Six.

Riley:

"Your joking?"
I mumbled quietly.

I look back at Eleanor and she just shakes her head, a blank expression on her face.

Angrily, I march towards my window and shut the curtains, keeping a barrier between us and them.

"El, don't worry. So what if he's my neighbour, like you said earlier on. They don't like the hard to get. So there is nothing to worry about."
I said gracefully with a smile.

Eleanor looked at me and replied with the same gesture and spoke.

"You know what, you are 100 percent correct. And plus it's our time to get to know each other so what are we eating for?"
She squealed in excitement as she jumped onto my bed.

I followed her and sat down along with her.

"So Riley, we are going to play something similar to 20 questions. I ask and you answer, simple as that."

I nodded in return.

"Full name?"

"Riley Faith Meadow"

"Age?"

"18"

"Hobbies?"

"Sleeping, eating, dancing and anything to do with children."

"Children?"

"Yeah, children. In Wolverhampton, I had worked in an orphanage. All the children were really sweet. And I didn't have the best childhood, so I want to make sure that these kids do. I want to help as much as I can."

"Aw, that's so sweet. But if you don't mind me asking, what made you not have the best childhood?"

I froze. What should I say?
I can't, She is my friend. I can trust her.

"Well since I was born, I had an abusive dad. He would hit me and my mum. One day he had went over the limits, he tried" I had broken into tears right now "he tried to touch me, luckily my mum had came home from work just I. Time that day and she called the police. I was 12 then. I don't know how long he's been in jail for but I know he's gonna come out anytime now. When I was 13 my mum met Vin. He had been my father figure since, but he passed away a couple months back. I consider him as a dad rather than my biological dad. But he left me."

I started to break down as the memories came flooding in.

El, engulfed me into a huge bear hug.

"It's going to be alright, don't worry."

Eleanor was already starting to act like a sister.
I couldn't be more thankful.

"Let's move on from that subject shall we?"

"Yes, but promise me that you won't tell anyone?"

"Promise, now which school are you going to?"

"Um, I think it's Tong High School, something like that?"

"OH MY GOSH RILES THATS MY SCHOOL I MEAN OURS NOW! WERE GOING TO BE TOGETHER"
She squealed and shrieked at the top of her voice.

"YAY! I've already made a friend, and met two players. I'm on a roll."
I playfully added.

She rolled her eyes in response.
"Have you got your planner? Or your timetable?"

"Nope, I've only been given a uniform and been told to go to the student reception on my arrival"

"Oh okay, the student reception, may give you a partner to show you around school. I think they might give you a timetable there and then your all set. Hopefully, we've got classes together."

"Hopefully"
I responded with a smile.

"Well I should get going now. We have school on the morning, I'll come around 7:30 so be ready by then. We will be going to school together."

"Kk El,"

I walked Eleanor to our door downstairs.

"See You tomorrow El!"

"Bye Riles, I'll see you"

With that she left.
School tomorrow.
Little did I know that this was nuts the beginning of something magical.
