Adorable Confusion

Chapter 5

Wow.

I can literally feel my spirt fall and my heart crack.

"Off to first period." I say, trying to distract him and myself from my half asked question.

"Yep." Niall says.

We both get up and walk out of the room together.

"I gotta go put this stuff back in Mr. Billeck's room." Niall says, holding up the box and camera.

"Ok, well I gotta get to first period, so...good bye, Niall." As soon as the words leave my mouth, I feel like I'm gonna vomit.

I'm not ready for goodbye; I don't want to never see him again.

"Bye..I'll see ya." He says as he walks into Mr. Billeck's room.

What?

When will he see me again?

The rest of the day I spent day dreaming and overthinking; you know, the usual. Until sixth period, which is when me and one of my best friends, Emma, have government class.

Before the bell rings to be in your assigned seat, Emma usually comes over to where I sit in the back, and we talk.

"So how'd it go with Niall?" She asked, sitting in the empty seat behind me.

"It was good. Thanks for getting him to let me help him with his video. I got to get everything off my chest, and I told him what I've wanted to tell him since we last spoke." I say to her.

"That's good." She nods.

"So do you know when you wanna start shooting your video?" I ask her, trying to keep the topic off me, and on something she's actually interested in.

"Yea, maybe Wednesday..I finished the story board already."

"Oh that's cool! I can't wait to start!"

The bell rings, and Emma walks up to her seat which is in the front of the class.

Government with Mr. Rosalind is really just a blow off class; we've been watching movies, and have only had one test the whole semester so far, and we're already three weeks into it.

After government, Emma and I walk to seventh period, which, for her is digital video class with Niall...
But for me, it's English class with a bunch of prissy stuck-up popular kids.

Oh, what I'd give to switch lives with Emma.

School ends and I'm finally free of the hell.

I get on the bus, and dig through my brown purse to find my phone, as I wait for my friend Taylor.

I finally find it at the clear bottom and turn it on, it shows I got a message from Emma. It shows on the lock screen, so I can't see the whole message..just the first sentence.

"Hey guess what happened in digital video class!..."

My first instinct and thought, when I saw that, was; omg what if it's something about Niall?!

I anxiously slide my finger and type in my password so I can view the entire message.

Here it reads:

"Hey guess what happened in digital video class! I got the entire script done and written today! I feel so relieved."

As I finish reading her stupid message, my excitement deflates faster than I can type back.

Wow. She got my hopes up for nothing.

"Awesome..." I start writing, when I get interrupted by Taylor sitting down right next to me.

"Hey." I say, but don't look up as I keep typing..

"Awesome! I'm so happy for y..." I continue before I'm interrupted again; but this time it's because Emma sends me another text.

I stop typing my message to read what she sent me.

"Btw Niall said he needs you to come down in the morning to redo the video."

Taylor starts talking, but I'm too distracted to pay any attention.

Was I too monotone or something? Is that why he needs to do it over again?

I erase the message I was in the middle of writing her and instead type; "Why does he need me to redo it?"

I send it.

About a minute later my phone vibrates.

"He didn't say why. He just told me to tell you that he needs you to come down and redo it. It's okay because one of the other people who were supposed to be in my video can't come down tomorrow either. So we can just record on Thursday instead of tomorrow."

I feel kinda bad now. Emma was so set on recording tomorrow, and now she has to wait yet another day.

I text her a final "ok" before putting my phone in my purse, and turn to talk to Taylor.

Nothing interesting happens the rest of the day. Just the usual doing homework, watching tv, showering, and getting ready for school tomorrow.

I make sure to take extra time picking out my outfit, though.

It takes me about an hour and a half, but a big pile of rejected clothes later, I come up with an outfit I think might impress Niall tomorrow.

It consists of a black, pink and white floral shirt, with a pretty little pink bow on the back, that I had bought a couple days ago at Rue21. I decided to wear it with denim high-waisted shorts, along with black pantyhose, and black combat boots.

The whole outfit will come together with a mini white bow that clips onto my hair, when I wear a pony tail.

I'm pretty proud of it, so I lay on my bed and watch a little more tv before I fall asleep.
