Just Friends

Part 14

Over the next week, Michael is giving you the silent treatment. Just like what he always do when you two have a fight. Even on your classes together, Michael doesn't say a word. Now that you've got Niall's number, you asked him to come over and help you in your Algebra subject. Michael is out to God knows where, so you were left alone with a book, trying to get how the numbers in the matrix worked. A few minutes later, you hear a knock on the door. You quickly opened it, only to see a smiling Irishman holding a box of pizza and a bottle of Guinness. "I figured you got tired of strawberries and chocolates, so I brought this." You quickly let him in and closed the door. "Thanks." You turn your back to flash him a smile. You make your way back to your study table whilst Niall opened the box of pizza. He quickly handed you a greasy slice, but you were busy writing so he fed you one instead. "That's easy." He manage to say whilst chewing, "here." He took the pencil from your hand and wrote a solution. The moment he finished his slice, he explained to you how he arrived at the answer. And you do nothing but stare at his perfect, baby face whilst explaining. He's a smartass after all. You did the next number afterwards, but you got one row wrong, so Niall explained it to you again. In a matter of minutes, you were done with the homework, and Niall was already handing you a glass of Guinness. "It's Friday, I'm actually sad for you because you're stuck here doing homework. Drink up, and let's go somewhere." He says, heading towards the door. "Niall! Wait up! Just let me get ready." You shout back. You chugged one glass of the beer and only realized how strong and bitter it was. You hastily put on a flowy dress and applied subtle make up before heading out, your hair in its natural curly state and your hands entwined in Niall's.
