The Poster

Chapter 1 ✔

Just like almost every evening, I sat on my bed and had my iPod in front of my face. Twitter and Tumblr were my daily routine. I wiped my thumb across the touchscreen. I could always escape into the internet. If I was sad, bored or just interested in news. I am not saying that I was addicted to it, but without the world wide web I would have probably been helplessly lost and wouldn't know what else I could do except of eating food, studying and listening to music.

However they were some breaking news, rumors and pics. Suddenly my finger stopped at the middle of the screen. It landed on two deep blue, sparkling eyes. His hair was adoring his beautiful tinted face. I stared at the image for few seconds. Wow. I shivered. Goose bumps covered my whole body. What did he done to me?

I instantly peered up at my walls at one of my two posters. I knew that I was way too old to hang up posters, but this was an exception. The same shiny eyes looked straight into mine. He did something special to me, even if we haven't met each other yet.

I went on Twitter, checking my tweets and some accounts I really loved. '@NiallOfficial' was typed in. My eyes flew over his tweets, wishing at least I was mentioned in only one of them. But I wasn't.

I was tired, throwing my iPod on the duvet next to me and staring for few more seconds at those sparkling blue eyes above me, before I driftet off to sleep.

I dreamt about blue eyes, bleached hair and I was sure his orbs had moved, before my eyes closed.

My fingers travelled over the cold, smooth paper, as I touched his lips. I stopped. Suddenly my mum burst into the room.

"Grace you have to go now, school begins in ten minutes!" she said under her breath.

My eyes widened. Shoot only ten minutes? I hastily grabbed my bag and my Macbook, kissing my mum on the cheek as I ran out of the door. I ran as fast as I could, down the road, around the corner, into the big building and then into my classroom. Fortunately my college wasn't that far from home. My breath came out in short, trembling puffs, as I walked over to my table.

"Mrs. Collister,"

My eyes fluttered open. Shoot I was daydreaming. I cleared my throat, as I could feel the heat increased in my cheeks. Damn it, why am I so stupid?

"S-sorry," I apologized.

My teacher stared at me angrily. She was beautiful, long blond hair, green eyes and she had a breathtaking body. Yes, I was jealous. So damn jealous. She wasn't that older than me, maybe five or six years. I waited at her reaction. It surprised me as she started smiling.

"Next time, be careful," She grinned.

I nodded, resting my chin on my palms. I didn't know why I couldn't listen to what she was saying. It was so hard. To be honest, the only thing that was constantly in my mind... was Niall.

My hand slipped into my backpocket of my skinny blue jeans. I searched for my vibrating phone.

"Yeah?" I answered, holding it tightly against my left ear.

"GRACE," My best friend Claire shouted into her phone. My eyes squeezed closed.

"Arghhh CLAIRE! STOP SCREAMING THE CRAP OUT OF ME!" I yelled.

"Sorry ..." she repeated quietly. I don't know why, but I couldn't be mad at her.

"It's okay, so why do you call me? I thought you were in school?" I asked wondering why she called me at 11.30 am. I was walking home, 'cause one of my teachers was sick. Oh no!

"Are you sick?" I asked worried.

"Yeah .... SO SICK,"

"I'm coming over!" I said and hung up.

I pressed the doorbell and I was surprised, as she opened the door instead of her mother.

"I thought you were in your bed?" I frowned in confusion.

"Eh... it's not ... eh you know... can I show you something?" She asked smiling.

Like I said I couldn't be mad at her. "Ok."

"3...2....1 - LOOK WHAT I'VE GOT HERE !!!" she almost screamed, waving two pieces of paper in front of my nose. It took me a while 'til I knew what kind of papers they were.

Concert - Tickets.

"You are going to see Niall!"
