Just Friends

Part 6

After classes, Diana bid you goodbye and headed out. She's actually really nice for a junior, and you like the fact that she doesn't hesitate to talk to you even though you're a freshman. Michael greets you as you got outside class. "Ready for next period?" He says. "Ugh. No. I want to go home and sleep." You admit. "That's just vacation blues... it'll go away soon." Michael replies. You scoff, "says the one who can't get himself off the laptop." "Hey that's different." Michael says, defending his League of Legends addiction. "I'm playing with the boys." "Michael, you're in college... Leave them be." Out of the four, Michael was the only one who decided to pursue college. You refuse to believe that it's because of you. "Hey." That familiar voice ran through the hall, you turn your head to see Niall walking towards your direction. You feel Michael take a sharp inhale beside you. "H-hi." You say, awkwardly waving your hand. "Sorry, you are?" Michael intruded. "I'm Niall." He answers Michael with a cocky grin. "You are?" "Michael." He answers tightly. "Her uh, best friend." Niall laughs. "Ahhh. The best friend." He says. "Well it's nice to meet ya, Mikey." Niall teased. "I'll see you around Y/N." He winks at you and passes by, leaving that pleasant masculine smell behind. "Okay am I missing something here?" Michael interrogated. You feel your cheeks heat up, not from the alcohol but from embarrassment that you didn't tell Michael about Niall. "He's a junior. We're friends." Michael scoffs this time. "Since when did you become friends with hot juniors?" "Duh. The party?" You say as a matter-of-factly. "You think Niall's hot?" You follow-up. Michael rolled his eyes as he turned his back on you and headed to the next class.
