Never Thought It Would Be You (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Niall, Sydnee and I walked out of lecture, heading to the café to meet Liam, Louis and Harry. It's our daily routine now I guess, to get together there after lectures.

We entered the café and took a seat, discussing over what we were gonna order as we waited for the rest. The cool air con blowing against my skin, refreshing me from the summer heat.

"I'M HUNGRY! PLEASE CAN WE ORDER NOW?" Niall whined, his stomach grumbling in hunger.

"Fine" I sighed, getting up from my seat and walking over to the counter. I fished through my bag, my attention focused on the search for my wallet.

I let out a little squeal as I felt myself bump into someone. I quickly pulled my arm out of my bag, helping the brunette girl steady her feet from our encounter. "Sorry" I quickly apologized, guilt building inside of me. The girl laughed, dusting herself off.

"No need to be sorry, it's fine" she smiled as I returned the gesture. She looks really familiar.

"No, I wasn't paying attention and yeah, I'm sorry" I repeated.

"No seriously it's fine" she shook her head, "it's not like you hurt me"

"Thank god I didn't" I laughed.

She scrunched her eyebrows together, "you're the girl from my lecture, Tabitha, right?" she asked.

"Yeah?" I replied unsure.

"I'm Ashley" she said in a friendly tone. I dug my mind for any memory but found nothing.

"Sorry, I am the worst at remembering names and people" I admitted.

"Don't be sorry" she giggled, "i wouldn't expect you to remember"

I nodded my head, "yeah" I grinned.

"Anyway, who you with?"

"Just Sydnee and Niall and waiting on some other friends too, you?"

"Nice and I'm with Zayn who is also from our lecture" she smiled, pointing towards a dark boy in the corner of the café. "Do you remember him?"

"I've seen him before" I smiled, pushing my hair behind my shoulders. I hadn't really met this Ashley girl before but she seems nice but I have seen Zayn around. He's pretty attractive, I guess that's what caught my eye.

"Oh ok" she answered, nodding her head, keeping her eyes on her friend.

"So, are you guys going out?" I asked in curiosity.

"NO!" she shouted, "NO WAY! WE'RE BESTF FRIENDS!"

I laughed, "ok, sorry"

"Don't be sorry" she giggled, "I've just known him for so long it's kind of gross when someone says that. Like, you know what I mean"

"Yeah I do"

"Yeah" she smiled, "so how are yo--"

"I'M HERE BITCHES!" Louis interrupted, entering through the door with raybans on, looking all cool and bad boy, which made me laugh. I watched Liam and Harry walk over to our table while Louis came towards Ashley and I. "Hello females, how are you both on this fine fine day?"

"Hi Louis" I rolled my eyes as he chuckled. Ashley gave me a confused look, biting her lip. "Ashley, this is Louis and Louis this is Ashley" I introduced, breaking the silence.

"Hello Ashley, it's nice to know Tabitha has finally made her first friend" Louis joked, shaking Ashely's right hand with both of his.

"Louis, shut up, I have more friends than you" I stuck my tongue out as Ashley giggled.

"Nice to meet you Louis" Ashely answered.

"Have you ordered yet?" Liam asked, joining our mini chat group.

"Nope" I shook my head.

"Niall's complaining" he sighed, glancing over his shoulder to Niall. He looked back at me, giving me a blank expression.

"LIAM!" Louis shouted, "there's a girl here and you're ignoring her! Wonder why you're single"

Liam's face washed over with confusion, looking at Louis, then at me, then at Ashley. "Oh hey, sorry. I'm Liam, nice to meet you" he spoke, smiling as he shook her hand.

"Nice to meet you too Liam and I'm Ashley" Ashely smiled, retrieving her hand from the shake.

"So, you're friends with Tabitha?"

"Yeah, well, kinda. We're in the same lecture"

Liam nodded, "fair enough"

"Yeah" she grinned as Liam returned the gesture.

"You should sit with us" Louis suggested, breaking Ashley and Liam's little eye contact.

"Uh, would that be ok?" Ashley queried.

"Yeah, of course it would be ok" Liam answered happily.

"My friend's over there. Is it ok if he sits with us too?" she asked, pointing over at Zayn.

Liam's face dropped, "yeah sure"

"Yay" she replied, walking towards the mysterious quiff haired boy who was reading.

I turned to Liam, smile wide. "You like her"

"Do not..." Liam lied awkwardly.

I laughed, "you so do and don't worry they're just friends. I asked if he was her boyfriend and she nearly gagged"

"Seriously?" he raised his brow.

"Yeah, they're best friends and they're so close that she thinks it would be gross so I dunno, but they're not dating" I confirmed.

Liam's face lit up with a smile as Louis ruffled his hair. "Our little Liam's growing up!" Louis fake cried onto my shoulder, my right arm patting his back.

"There there" I laughed as Liam finally went up to order.
