The Boy with a Guitar and a Voice

junior year

I pushed open the doors to Junior year, I breathed in the familiar smell of chip fat, strong perfume and BO. School sweet school. It meant another year of studying, another year of looking at a clock 5 minutes through a lesson, wondering why it hasn't ended, and another year thinking of, wishing for and dreaming of Niall James Horan. His name alone, sent electricity down my spine, causing my legs to shake, and for me to suddenly become mute.

Remembering back to my first encounter with Niall, Alexis had pushed me, and as if i were a domino, i tripped and stumbled on his foot. Him being freaked out and me looking like a fool, he laughed at me with his friends and ran off. He had such a cute laugh, his accent was even better, he was Irish, but lived in London for a while, before moving here, to Atlanta. There are I think three or four other students like him, but I don't pay them much attention, Niall on the other hand, had mine all day...and night. I had never spoken to Niall since, he probably doesn't even remember, but I do, even they date...not that i'm obsessed, it's just I lost a special pin that day, and never got it back.

The bell to assembly woke me up from my dreaming, people started pushing past, or had that been happening all this time? I was getting evil stares from people for standing in the middle of the pathway, smiling at myself.
Great! I thought to myself. Its been 15 minutes Aria!

Assembly is where teachers expect us to listen but we yell abuse at them. In my opinion, assembly is interesting, finding other things out. I suppose it depends, last year the assembly went on for an 1 hour and half, when we were meant to be in lesson, and it was about rivers, a few people were asleep. I may of been one of them. Not all of them are like that, some like I said, were interesting.

Walking into the familiar yet different hall felt good, school is like a second home to me, I'm at school more than I am at home, so to be honest, school ishome to me. Alexis was sitting in a group with other people, she's meant to be my best friend, but over the summer, things changed. We grew distant, (we meaning she) met up with other people, ignored each others calls, (each other meaning she ignoring my calls) I decided to just leave her, she gave me an awkward smile and wave and started walking toward me, but I wasn't going to give in easily, not anymore, not after this summer. I gave her a look and turned and walked away, a few noticed and giggled, a few ahhed, and some gave me a baffled look, I just smiled nodded, asking irrelevant people how their summer was, and that's when he walked in. Niall Hpran was here, through the doors, walking towards me.

Walking towards me.
