Fate

Chapter 71

"So where are you from? You obviously don't sound like your from here." He laughs.

"Oh. I was born in England and stayed there for about 18 years until I finished high school. I moved to New York with my mum and lived there until now." I say trying to adjust to this.

"Oh wow. New York eh?" He laughs.

"You must be really away from home".

"Yeah I am." I nod.

"Well what're you doin here?" He asks.

"I came to get my associates degree." I say lowly.

"Oh cool man me too. I'm 19. Are you?" He asks.

"Yeah I am." I say laughing.

"That's cool. Maybe we have some classes together. You must start Monday then, right?" He says.

"Yeah I do." I agree.

"Sorry to ask so many questions I just want to know you. I don't like being enemies with my roommates." He laughs.

"Yeah that's cool don't worry about it." I nudge him.

I don't mind talking to him at all.

"You have a schedule?"

"Yeah I do. Do you?" He asks.

"Yeah." I say handing him my paper.

"Cool, we have a few classes together." He says handing my paper back.

STELLA'S POV

"I haven't found one yet." I shrug and tell my mom as she walks in my room.

"I can help you look later darling." She offers.

"Okay. Thanks." I smile.

"What are you doing today?" She asks.

"We'll I having a date...I mean dinner with someone later." I say scrunching my nose at date. Hopefully she didn't hear.

"A date?!" She says ecstatically.

"A dinner! I corrected myself!" I say to her putting my laptop on my desk.

"Stella! With who?" She asks sounding like a little kid.

"He's a friend okay. His name is Brad." I say.

"A friend? From where high school?" She asks.

"No." I say.

"I met him at the wedding."

"Really?" She asks straightening her back.

"Yes." I nod sarcastically.

"How come I never heard this?" She asks.

"Mom, must you know everything?" I ask.

"Well I would certainly like to know this." She grins.

"He's a friend of Zayn's."

I say.

"Was he the boy you were dancing with?" She says gasping.

"Yes." I say.

"I never got to get a close look but he's pretty handsome. She smiles.

"Yeah I guess. He's picking me up at 6." I say letting out a small smile.

"Okay." She smiles big.

"I'll let you get ready."

"Mom that's not until like 6 hours!" I say.
