4. wish i was there with you now

Brooke

Me and Niall were put into separate classes. I dont like my class. Its full of snobby girls with fake tan and blonde hair dye. No one has talked to me yet. I tried to talk to some of the boys but they were "too cool" to be nice to a girl. I see nialls class go by. it looks like he already has made friends. two boys. both quite short, one with sort of light brownish golden hair. the other had dark brown. niall the odd one out with his blonde hair that he died during the summer.
he waved at me like he hadent seen me just yesterday. i wave back and pretendim happy. i force a massive grin on my face, although it didnt reach my eyes. i dont want him to think im upset. im never upset. i was the one who was trying to convince him that everything was going to be alright. i notice niall say something to both of the boys beside me. they both have a little smirk on their faces and give me a wave.

our class moves on. i didnt listen for the rest of the tour. i was just thinking about how happy niall looked without me. and how he was the one who was scared. Worry's went through my head. What happens if he becomes real popular and I don't? What happens if I don't make any friends in my class and Niall forgets about me? I try to relax and to do that I remember how I loved school last year. I was with Niall all day.
I remember the pe lessons. They were always gas. Especially dodgeball. I remember our last dodgeball game. Me and Niall were the last ones standing. My team won of course. I wish I was there with him now.
After the tour was over we were aloud to go home early. I meet niall at the door. He comes out smiling
"Hiii" he sorta shouts
"Hey ye how was your day" I ask him
"Great! You were right there's nothing to worry about. I even made two friends."
"So that's who you were with"
We talk for a while about our classes and tutors.
"Where will we meet for lunch tomorrow?" Niall asks me
I was a bit surprised he didn't want to have lunch with his new friends "eh the canteen?"
"Ye sure"

The next day at lunch I wait at the door of the canteen by myself. Niall arrives after waving to some people. We go to sit down at a table when a group of people wave at us and call us over. I thought it was a bit strange but I went along with it.
"Hiya niall" said one of the boys I seen yesterday with Niall. "Your Brooke" he says
I was confused how he knew me. "Yeah, hi" I reply quietly
"We've heard aaalottt about you" says the other boy I seen yesterday. Niall hits him on the arm. Not too hard but enough to hurt.
I wonder what that was about? I'd say niall has mentioned me to them. I hope he's been telling them good stuff and nothing embarrassing.
"what was that for?!?!" The fella who got hit asks.
"You know well what it was for" Niall says through his teeth.
I don't even want to know at this stage

Anyway we sit down and have lunch with them. I don't really remember how but all of a sudden I was chatting to them. They were all actually really nice and friendly. There was about four of them, not including me or Niall. There was a brunette called Emma and she was soo nice and welcoming. There was a dirty blond called sally who was a bit quiet but really nice and pretty. There was also nialls two friends. I found out there names are Evan and Matthew.

after lunch I went back to my class by myself. Niall walked me since his class was beside mine. The rest of the day was boring and lonely.
I walked home with Niall again.

the rest of the term was the same. During class I was on my own and during lunch I was with Niall and his friends from his class. I've started to become close to Emma. I was never really close to a girl before but she wasn't full of drama like other girls.

At the last day before Christmas I was talking to Emma.
"What are you doing for Christmas?" She asks
"Oh my and nialls families always spend Christmas together. We do like this sleepover thing." I tell her
"Oooooh" she squeals
"what" I say very confused
"Oh never mind" she sighs with a smile on her face
What does she mean? Probably something niall told her in class. I decide to just ignore it and move on. The end of day bell rings.
