Statements which have 'not' (negative) and are interrogative in nature are called Negative-Interrogative.
For ex:
Have you played Cricket?
Have you not played Cricket?
ARE THOSE GIRLS WAITING FOR ME?
Negative-interrogative as:
Are those girls not waiting for me?
Aren't those girls waiting for me?
Either of the two is fine.
Regards!
