Emma's POV
After the day was over and I sat through hours of boring classes and lectures, I was finally free. My house was literally around the corner so I could walk.
Since I had 5th hour with Niall I had said goodbye to him after class. Honestly, I already missed him. He only had said a couple of words, but it was making me crawl back to him.
I stopped at my locker one last time to grab my little jacket, a couple folders, and then I was off to walk home. I started walking out of the school when my friends came running over to me.
"Girl you look cute!"
"I havn't seen you in forever"
"Who was that boy you were with?" My one friend Allison asked.
I immediately started to blush and they all giggled. "Whooo is he??" My other friend Sarah asked.
"He's just a friend" I said smiling a little.
"Uh-huh. Well you guys are gonna get married."
"no weRE NOT" I shouted not realising i had yelled.
I had always been sensitive about guys and relationships, just because. I don't really know why. Maybe cause I just didn't want to get hurt like I did before.
"Jesus Emma." My friend called Jenna
"Sorry, I didn't mean to yell. Calm down." I responded with an annoyed tone rolling my eyes.
Me and Jenna hadn't really had a good relationship in the past couple months. She turned really bitchy and was literally obsessed with guys. We all have one of these friends, but she is the absolute worst. She ruined all my relationships.
"Ok well we gotta get to work.." Allison said, in a small tone. She was short, blonde, and had the smallest little voice. She was cute.
"Alright I'll just text you guys later" I said putting on a fake smile. Jenna just pissed me off.
They smiled back and waved before walking away to the parking lot. I started off in the other direction as i pulled my headphones out. I put them in and just blocked everything else out.
My feet carried me toward my house, about half a mile away. Fanfuckingtastic.
I held my folders close to my body, keeping my speed to the beat of the music. I felt like somebody was following me, so i turned around. Nobody was there. So I kept on walking. Apparently I was jamming to hard cause I dropped my folders. I huffed and turned to bend down and pick them up. My headphones fell out and I suddenly felt like someone was there behind me. I quickly stood up and looked around, surveying the area. Nobody.
I shrugged it off and kept walking without my headphones in. That's when I heard footsteps. I halted and whoever was indeed behind me walked right into me. I turned to see who had been following me.
My eyes met the gaze of a confused Niall standing there with his eyes wide staring at me. "I-uh, sorry."
"Why were you following me?" I asked tilting my head sideways.
"I-uh was walking h-home."
"You live around here?" I asked, blushing since I thought he was stalking me.
"Y-yeah." He mumbled.
"Then why didn't you say anything to me?" I questioned. He was looking down, nervous and quiet as usual. He shifted his glasses and looked up at me.
"I-I didn't know it was you." Niall bluntly replied.
I nodded my head "So where do you live?" I asked him.
"A-around the corner." He said pointed towards the neighborhood across from mine.
"I live right there" I said pointing at my neighborhood. There was a main road in between each of our neighborhoods, and a cross walk to walk to the other side.
Niall nodded nervously.
"So.." I started "We can walk home together? And then go our separate ways at the crosswalk?"
"S-sure" He looked up at me again and just blinked before we started our way down to the crosswalk. It was only about a 5 minute walk, but he didn't want to say one word. So we just walked. I had a feeling I was going to have to break Niall from his silence. But just then we reached the crosswalk.
"Alright so I'll see you tomorrow?" I asked Niall.
"I-uh. Do y-you think I could c-come home with y-you?" He asked. I was not expecting this.
"Uh, sure. If you want" i said slightly confused. If we hardly talked to me, then why did he want to come home with me?
Niall then smiled and gazed into my eyes. I smiled back at him and we turned into my neighborhood. I pulled my phone out to text my mom and told her I had a friend coming home. My mom didn't care if I had someone coming over, especially if it was a boy.
I had my mom, my brother, and my sister. My dad didn't come home till late at night anyways since he always had meetings. My brother was 25 and my sister was 21. I was the youngest. My siblings only came home every couple weekends. They were both married and had a couple kids so they didn't visit much. They never had the time.
My parents had gotten divorced when I was 9. They just didn't feel the same anymore, and my dad became an alcoholic. He moved out to Nevada and I havn't talked to him since the divorce. I guess you could say that I didn't really care, but I did.
As me and Niall walked home, I warned my mom not to say anything embarressing. But that's only what she was good at.
