When Worlds Combine - A WWC Sequel

5; Ancient books, forgotten candy and Ray Bans

I just shrug and go back to unpacking my books.

"Have you got them?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Can you just check to make sure?"

"Violet, your rhubarb and custards are here. I have them. Can we please go now?"

"Are you sure?"

"YES."

"You know I need them on long car rides."

"Violet, we are literally not even leaving town."

"It's still the other side of town, Zayn."

Zayn rolls his eyes, very dramatically may I say, at me and stomps his feet. "Can we please just go?! The reunion starts in two hours and we're gonna fucking miss it."

I slip on my jacket. "I don't see why you're so eager to go. You weren't before."

"Yeah, well I'm not. I just know that Niall will literally murder me if I don't go."

I look around my room to make sure I have everything and Zayn impatiently groans. "Okay, I'm ready."

"Thank Jesus." He grabs his car keys and we head out of the building.

"Are you nervous?" I ask as we walk across the campus.

Zayn just shrugs. "Nah, not really. Why, are you?"

"A little."

He looks down at me and kisses my temple. "You'll be fine."

I smile and nod. Then I realise he's not holding anything but his keys. "Zayn?"

"Mhm?"

"Do you have my rhubarb and custards?"

Silence.

"Fuck."

I stop abruptly. "Really?" I cry. "The one thing, Zayn. The one god damn thing."

"Hey. It's your candy, you should've brought it."

"I kind of have my hands full!" I yell, motioning to the CD's and water bottles and maps that I'm struggling to hold.

"I swear I had them," he mumbles, patting his pockets.

"I'll go get them," I sigh. "Meet you at the car."

"There's no time," he says.

"I'm not going without them."

"It's candy."

"I need them."

"Violet."

"Zayn."

We have an intense stare down for what feels like hours and he finally gives up. "Fine! Go. But be quick."

"'But be quick'," I mock. "I'll take however long I damn well please."

"I will literally leave without you."

"You will not."

"Don't tempt me."

I glare at him, my eyes squinting. He laughs and blows me a kiss.

"I love you," he grins.
