A/N: The chapter name is a little bit of a spoiler. This one's short but OMG I love it. I hope you guys like it too! Vote and comment and everything please! Love you all!
I've been avoiding Niall all day but as I walk to the cafeteria for lunch I know I have to talk to him. I walk up to our table and tap Niall on the shoulder.
"Hey... can I talk to you?" I say. He nods and I lead him out into the hall.
"So... about what I said yesterday. I understand if you don't feel the same way but I hope we can still be friends. I don't want my stupid feelings getting in the way of our friendship. I just-" my rambling is cut off by him grabbing my face and kissing me. Like, ACTUALLY KISSING ME!
It comes as a surprise but it's the most magical feeling. It's soft and sweet and gentle but abrupt enough to make my heart skip a beat. His palms are sweaty against my cheeks. Like he's nervous because he probably is. I want to pull him closer but he pulls away.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that. It's just you were rambling and I don't think you realized how much I like you," he says, blushing like crazy.
"You like me?" I say with a smile.
"Yes. I was just... surprised on Friday and I didn't want to tell you over text on the weekend. I'm so sorry-" I cut him off with a hug, holding him tightly.
"Thank you," I whisper.
"For what?" he asks.
"For everything. For being you. For actually liking me. For being there for me. Just... thank you," I mumble into his shoulder.
"Do you wanna... I don't know... go out with me sometime?" he asks nervously, pulling away to look at me.
"Niall! I'd love that," I say, my hands clasped behind his neck.
"I can't wait," he says grinning. "Well we should get back to the others before they get worried," he says and I nod.
We walk hand in hand back into the cafeteria and sit down at our table. Gemma raises an eyebrow at me in an "I told you so" way.
"I see you two made up," Gemma smirks.
"You guys were fighting?" Liam asks, looking concerned.
"We weren't fighting," I say, resting my head on Niall's shoulder.
They all make eye contact with each other with knowing looks.
"Finally, I couldn't take any more of the mutual pining you two were doing, it was painfully obvious and kinda sad," Louis says.
"Oh shut up," I say. "How was coming out to your parents? That was this weekend right?" I ask.
"Oh yeah, it went great. They already knew somehow," Harry says.
"Of course, they knew. It was painfully obvious," Niall says, using Louis' words against him making me laugh.
I smile at the beautiful boy sitting next to me feeling so grateful for him and all the friends I've made here.
Later that day Niall and I are walking out of school together when I see Shawn.
"I should probably talk to him," I say, gesturing to him.
"Yeah," Niall says.
"Hey, uhm Shawn?" I say going up to him. "We should talk... about that date,"
"Oh, hi Bailey. About that..." he says trailing off. "I really hate to cancel, but my ex Camila wants to get back together with me and I really love her... I'm so sorry I shouldn't have even asked you out in the first place,"
"Oh, no I was gonna cancel as well. I hope you two are happy together! And that we could maybe all be friends? If that's not too weird," I say.
"No I'd love to stay friends!" he says. "And Bailey?"
"Yeah?" I ask.
"Niall is lucky to have you," he says, with a smile.
"How did you...?" I ask, confused.
"I see the way you look at each other," he says, and then a beautiful girl with tan skin and curly brown hair calls over to him and he waves goodbye and heads over to who I'm guessing is his ex who he's getting back together with.
"Huh," I say to myself as I walk back to Niall who has been inconspicuously on his phone pretending not to listen.
"How'd it go?" he says, stuffing his phone in his pocket.
"Good, he's getting back with his ex," I say with a smile.
"Great! That means I can take you out," he says grabbing my hand and leading the way to his car.
"Take me out? Like on a date?" I ask.
"No. Take you out as in murder you," he says sarcastically and I giggle a little. "Or maybe I'll hire a hitman. Louis might be a good one? Nah he'd tell everyone and brag about it," he says and I roll my eyes.
"Niall!" I say, beaming.
"Do you wanna go on a date with me or not?" he asks, opening the car door for me.
"Maybe not now that I know you're gonna kill me," I say getting in the car.
"Fine, I guess I can spare you for now," Niall sighs, as he gets in his side.
"Then sure I'd love to go on a date with you. Friday after school?" I say with a huge smile.
"Perfect. I already know where we're going," he says, pulling out of the school parking lot.
"Where?" I ask.
"You'll see on Friday," he says, holding my hand over the console.
When I get home I have a small squealing session in my room. I'M GOING ON A DATE. WITH NIALL HORAN. ON FRIDAY. Oh god, what am I going to wear...
