Stop The World

Chapter 5

I leaned my head against my locker door yawning in the process of trying to remember my combination. I was exhausted. I didn't get home until late last night. When I say late I mean one in the morning late and I never did that. I didn't expect to hang out with Niall for so long last night. But I mean I wasn't really complaining. I had fun with him. He took me to a really cool diner that I had never been too before and we sat in my driveway for hours just talking. It was nice and really refreshing. Most guys these days always expceted something but Niall wasn't like that. All he wanted was some company and nothing in return. He payed for my meal even though I had tried to talk him out of it but he insisted. He even opened my car door for me. Niall was nothing like the image he put out. He was funny and so sweet, probably one of the sweetest guys I had ever known. I had so much fun with him. To be honest I really didn't even want to leave him. I could have stayed with him all night if I wanted too. I smiled as I thought about him. I wondered if he was here today. I had kept a look out for him but so far no luck.
       

¨Somebody looks tired.¨ I heard a voice say. 
My head shot up. It was Luke. I smiled as soon as I saw him. He leaned up against the locker that was next to mine. His eyes studied me as I looked away from him. I couldn't look at him for long without blushing. 
       

¨So tired. You kept me out late.¨ I said throwing my backpack over my shoulder. 
     

  ¨Don't act like you didn't have fun.¨ he said giving me a playful smile. 
       

¨What if I didn't?¨ I asked testing him.
       

¨Then I would know you were lying.¨ 
       

¨Well lucky for you I did have fun.¨ 
     

  ¨Good. I guess we'll have to do that some other time then. Only if you can keep up with me.¨ 
       

¨Please. I can keep up anyone.¨
       

¨We'll see.¨ he said walking off as I followed behind.
       

¨So when do I need to take you up on this offer?¨ 
     

  ¨How about..this weekend?¨ 
     

  ¨That sounds perfect.¨
Niall reached his hand around my shoulder. What was he doing? Why was he touching me? He tugged on my backpack and took it off my shoulder. 
     

  ¨What are you doing?¨ I asked. 
     

  ¨Taking your backpack. I'm going to walk you to class.¨ he said slinging my backpack over his shoulder
   

    ¨You don't have to do that.¨ 
     

  ¨Well I'm going too. Come on Nori.¨ 
He took off walking down the hall as I followed behind him. I was actually nervous about this. I hated to sound rude. But I was nervous to be seen with Niall. He wasn't usually someone I would ever hang out with. He wasn't someone who I would normally be seen with. If someone saw us I would get bombarded with questions from everyone and that was always such a task. But maybe Niall was worth it. He looked over his shoulder and stopped so I could catch up with him. I had the urge to hold his hand but I stopped myself. What was going on with me? Was I starting to feel something for Niall?
       

¨I hope you don't get detention again today.¨ Niall said. 
     

  ¨Oh my god! I literally forgot to pack my gym clothes.¨ 
       

¨You have a problem then.¨ 
     

  ¨All because of you! I slept in late and barely had time to do my morning routine.¨
       

¨At least you'll know you have detention with me again.¨ 
     

  ¨Did you not bring anything either?¨ 
       

''That class is a waste of my time. I could care less about doing shit like that.¨ 
       

¨We're detention buddies now.¨ I said giving him a little nudge with my shoulder
     

  ¨Looks like it.¨ he said giving me a soft smile.
There was something about Niall that made me want to get closer to him. I wanted to know him. Maybe it was just my curiosity getting the best of me but I kind of liked it. When we sat in my driveway we talked a lot about school. Well I mostly did. I was the one who did all of the talking and Niall just listened. I liked to know or think that Niall wanted to get close to me because I wanted to get close to him. Sure I had only known him for a day now but somehow it seemed like more than that. We had a connection. That was something I couldn't deny. I wondered if he felt it too. 
     

  ¨So lunch.¨ Niall said as we headed into the gym. 
   

    ¨What about it?¨ 
     

  ¨Where do you wanna go?¨ 
     

  ¨We can't just leave.¨ 
      

¨Sure we can. Now where do you wanna go? My treat.¨ 

Niall was going to get me into a lot of trouble but maybe I wanted too. Maybe I wanted to have a little adventure in my life instead of always being so tight about everything. Niall was defiantly going to turn my world upside down.
