Chapter 59

“So, how’s Niall’s going?” Luke interrupts the silence.

“He’s been great, I guess.” I nod, answering Luke.

“Well, I missed him.” He chuckles. “I haven’t seen him in a while.” He states and that makes me a little uncomfortable because, Niall and I spent so much time together. Maybe I’m too selfish for him.

“Sorry, Luke. He’s been spending time with me these past 3 weeks.” I chuckle nervously.

“No, no. Don’t be sorry! I mean, he used to hang with us like, everyday. His dissapearance just somehow making me odd and miss his cheeky attitude. But, it’s none of your fault.” He assures me, smiling. “Are you going to the prom with him?”

“Yeah, actually.”

“Uh, does Thomas have a date?” He asks me, looking at Thomas.

“What?” Thomas shifts his head to Luke. “Oh, no.”

“You should come with Thomas. I don’t think it would be really pleasing to come with Niall.” He says in a low tone. I glare at Luke and when I’m about to ask him, I flicker my eyes from Luke to Cathy who is wearing her long pink dress.

“So?” She grins at us.

“It looks really pretty.” I smile at her, looking at Thomas sending praises. I quickly shove out my phone from my purse on purpose while Luke is sending her flirtatious comments. “Shit, Cath, uhm—“

"What?”

“My mom is here and she told me to help her carrying the new furniture and Thomas, would you mind to come?” I lie, feeling a guilty vibe on me. I don’t feel like spending another time with Luke who clearly doesn’t want me to be with Niall, even though I’m not sure what reallyhis intention was.

“Well, okay, thank you, though!” Cath says as she keeps on looking at herself in the mirror.

“I think I suggest you to buy that one, it looks perfect on you.” I smile at her, grabbing my purse and walk out of the room. “Bye!” I wave to Cath that is smiling and Luke that is looking at the ground. I quickly walk Thomas out of the mall and call a taxi for both of us. “Sorry, Thomas.”

“It’s okay. I was pretty uncomfortable either. I really don’t know what did he mean.” Thomas scratching the back of his neck. I smile at him and get into the cab. Thomas told the driver our adresses and my phone buzzes and Niall’s caller ID blocks it.

“Hey.” I greet him in my lowest tone.

“Hey, what’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’re devastated because I no longer have extra periods.” He jokes.

I chuckle and let out a breath. “No, Niall. Where are you?”

“I’m in front of your house right now. Where are you?” He says.

“I’m on my way there.” I lay my head back, looking right at Thomas. I smile at him and reach his hand and hold it. He gives me his warm smile, before looking away.

“Okay, I’ll wait in the car.” He says then hangs up.

“Hey, Thomas, do you want to do something over the weekend?” I ask him.

“Oh, uh, sure. But I have my curfew.” He scrunches his nose.

“It’s totally fine. There’s this festival and my mom gave me two tickets. Do you wantto come?”

“What about Niall?” Thomas asks, squinting his eyes.

“Niall has his own ticket.” I chuckle. “So?”

“Yeah, sure.” He grins. The driver drove me to my house as Thomas refuses me to pay so I give in anyway and wave him goodbye. Niall in the other hand, gets out from his car and gives me a big hug before entering the house.
