Chapter 43: Gift.

22nd October 2015, Thursday.

(You and Niall have been casual for the past month, now that your life is finally calm this whole thing is much more calm.. The only thing that has been eating you from inside is the Bradley kiss, you want to tell Niall.. but there's never the right time..

After school you find yourself in the mall with Sara because..)

Sara: Finally here! Gotta buy a gift for Niall's Birthday.

Jay: Did we really have to come today? I have been feeling kinda tired.

Sara: Niall's Birthday is NEXT WEEK! We gotta prepare! (You sigh)

Jay: You're right.. I just don't know what to get him.. (She drags you in)

Sara: Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find something!(You two stroll among the gift shops..)

Would he like a pirate hat? (She puts it on)

Argh! I'm the Queen of the Seven Seas!

(You chuckle)

Jay: Not sure.. (You pick up something) What about this sword?

Sara: Uh no- No swords please. (You frown)

Uh.. Okay don't be sad, you can buy the sword-

Jay: It's not that.. It's just..

I have known Niall for so long.. but I don't know what he likes or dislikes, I don't even know his favorite colour! (She puts her hand on your shoulder)

Sara: It's fine.. You have only known him for six months. It's okay.

Jay: Only.. Six months?

Sara: Yeah..? You two met in March right?

Jay: Damn.. It feels like I have known him for years… Maybe it's because of all the drama,

My life feels so long, it's like someone is writing a novel on it.

Sara: Or maybe it's because you really like him..

Like.. the "L" word like him..

Jay: It's too soon..

Sara: So…. How's the stretching going? (You push her away)

Jay: Get out of here! (You both laugh)

Anyway! Let's search for gifts. I'll stalk him for a minute.. Uhm, Should I ask him his favorite colour?

Sara: Gifts don't work that way!

Jay: Ugh fine..

(After going through his profile, your chat and basically your memories to see if he mentioned something about his favorite things, you really don't find anything interesting.)

Sara: Found something?

Jay: Uh.. He likes Star Trek.

Sara: Great! I'll buy him a lightsaber!

Jay: Sara.. That's Star Wars.

Sara: Is it not the same thing? (You take a deep breath)

Jay: Just buy him a jacket or something.

Sara: What about you?

Jay: I'll.. figure something out.

(After Sara buys a jacket that she thinks Niall will like, you two leave the mall)
