The New Kid

Ch. 3 The Hallway

Chapter 3

The hour was over and I had to continue this wonderful Monday in biology. I stood up but I was pulled back down by Niall. I told him I needed to get to bio but he just smiled and laughed.  

"Can you please walk me to my next class?" He asked with a puppy dog face. All the girls in the class gasped. I felt so amazing.  

"Sure! Where do you have to go?"  

"To umm..." 

"Niall," my teacher chimed in, "I don't think that's such a good idea. I can take you." 

I have her the worst glance possible and she looked genuinely freaked out.

I grabbed Niall's hand and we started to leave. He grabbed his papers and my pencil. I let go of his hand after we walked out of the room. 

"So, where do you have to go?" I asked. 

"South building I think. Let me check." He reached into his bag and pulled out a folded, torn and crumpled scrap of paper. Typical boy. I laughed as he handed it to me. He smiled nervously. I looked at his schedule. I couldn't believe it. I had bio with him too! I raised my hand and he seemed to understand and he slapped it. I still focused on the paper. I almost started crying. No more classes with him. But I get to start my day off with him. Woooo!

I gave him back the paper so he wouldn't lose it.  

"Emily, would you mind giving me your phone number in case I need to text you to find you?" 

My mouth dropped but I quickly closed it. I didn't want to look like an idiot again. 

"Ssuuurreee." I managed to get out before I completely died inside. 

"Great, love, what is it?" He asked as he pulled out his phone. 

I took his phone and put my number in. He smiled and took my arm.  

"Off to biology!" He yelled. I laughed out loud and we headed in the direction...*one direction* sorry... of OUR biology class. We walked through the hall, passed the cafeteria and entered south building. I didn't even notice all the people staring at us. I just kept walking.  

"So where do u live?" He asked me. 

"Here. I live in a small apartment with my mom, dad and sister."  

"Oh, I see." He said. 

"Why did you come all the way to Chicago to go to high school?" I asked, still dazed from giving Niall my phone number. 

"My mum thought it would be good to go back to school and act like normal teenagers with the boys."

THE BOYS. THE REST OF ONE DIRECTION. OH LORD.

"That's pretty cool of your mom." I said as I gently punched his arm. 

"Yeah, I'm going to thank her when I get home for this." 

"Why? It's high school." I said, throwing my arms in the air. 

"Because if she had never sent me here, I wouldn't have met you." He said shyly. 

I smiled and looked away. I looked at the wall and mouthed oh my god. Did he just say what I think he just said?! 

"Awww I'm glad I met you too Nialler." I blushed.

We got to our class and he opened the door for me. What a gentleman! I said a thank you and headed to my seat. Niall followed. I noticed that he waved to someone in the class but i didn't say anything. He sat next to me at our lab table. All the girls were staring at us.  

"What?!" I yelled. They all quickly turned around and took out their notebooks. Niall took out his notebook and my pencil. I grabbed my bag and threw it on the table. I dug through it to find a pencil and my notebook. Ms. Murphy turned on her computer and started reading off the names on the attendance list.  

"Anna." 

"Here." 

"Kyle." 

"Here." 

"Harry." 

"Here." 

I looked at Niall and we both laughed. I've heard that voice before. 

"Did I forget to mention that all the guys from 1D are joining high school?" 

I laughed. "Yeah right. I mean really?" 

"Yeah, Harry's sitting right there." 

I quickly scanned the room and saw a guy with incredible curls. He turned around and sitting in front of me was Harry Styles. I waved and he waved back. I'm dreaming. This is ridiculous.
