Niall's pov

Ok. I'm on time. It's 3.50, because we decided to give Madi and her friend 5 minutes to get out of the school and wait for everyone else to go first. As we drove up Valley Drive to the school I could see Madi and another girl sat on the wall in front of a small garden both with guitar cases beside them. I told Paul to stop the car and I opened the door and hopped out, tripping up on the mat in the car on the way. Smooth. Madi instantly started to giggle and I couldn't help but laugh along at the sound. It sounded so sweet. I greeted her with a kiss on the cheek and turned to greet her friend. "Hi i'm Niall" I held my hand out for her to shake. "I'm Elizabeth, nice to meet you." she replied taking my hand in hers to shake. "stop being so bloody formal. Nialler, this is Lizzie. Nobody calls her Elizabeth." Madi butted in, and I just laughed with her. Lizzie blushed as she slapped Madi on the arm as a joke. I noticed Lizzie had natural brown hair, which had a light pink dip dye at the end, which I found really cool, and she was really pale (paler than me!) and had blue eyes. "well come on then ladies, I'll take you to Harry's."

They both nodded, and I must admit, I was surprised by how calm Lizzie was. I'm sure it's not everyday 1/5 One Direction picks you up from school. "Lizzie, I'm not being headed or anything..." I started to ask when she had done her seatbelt up, "but why aren't you freaking out? Are you not a fan?" Madi just burst into a fit of laughter at this and Lizzie groaned as she covered her face with her hands. "she's obsessed with you!" she managed to get out between laughing. I raised an eyebrow at Lizzie and she just sighed. "to be honest I've imagined meeting you in so many different scenarios, I think I've mentally prepared myself." I thought about it for a second, then decided it made sense. "so Madi must seem like a pretty good friend right now?" I concluded. "wait, sorry Niall one sec, Madi how did you meet him? And how long have you two been dating?" Lizzie asked intrigued. "I'm not Niall's girlfriend!" Madi protested harshly. Ow. That hurt a bit... I thought she at least liked me. I liked her... "anyway I was walking to school..." and Madi continued to tell the whole story, which to be fair wasn't very fair. When she was done Lizzie brought up a good point: "why didn't you tell me?" and she looked genuinely hurt. "because I didn't want you to be jealous, but you seem to taking this really well. I'm sorry I guess I shouldn't have presumed." Madi apologised. "nah don't worry it's fine." Lizzie said, tucking a strand of bubble gum pink hair behind her ear.

For the journey I couldn't help but notice that Lizzie kept looking at me in a... Weird(?) way. It was kind of off putting. I mean she seemed like a great girl, but I had a feeling she might have a small crush on me. And I'm sure if I wasn't so drawn to Madi I might have given her a chance. They were both my type. Brown hair, pretty, not stick thin and anorexic looking, and seemed unique. Actually... I know someone who she might like. I'd have to speak to him later. I grinned at the thought of setting the two of them up together and Madi noticed. "why so happy Nialler?" she grinned. "oh I'm just looking forward to hanging out with both of you." I covered. Only Lizzie apparently took this the wrong way as she smiled brightly and touched my arm as she said "me too!" I panicked incase Madi thought I liked Lizzie back, which wouldn't matter anyway because she cearly didn't like me back. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw we were in Holmes Chapel. "We're here!" I clapped my hands together and undid my seat belt.

I held the door open and stood on the pavement as they got out. "thanks Paul!" I shouted. Paul just stuck his thumb up in response and drove away. "well, are you ready to meet the rest of the band Lizzie?" I asked. I might have been imagining it but I could swear Madi looked a little jealous as I lead Lizzie inside. Well she doesn't like me anyway so it makes no difference.
