The next day at lunch I go up to Katelynn's table with the most intimidating look possible. She just looks at me like I'm trash left out on the street.

"Who are you?" she asks, obviously annoyed by my presence.

"That... doesn't matter. Can I talk to you, Katelynn?" I ask.

"I don't even know who you are," she says, looking me up and down with a disgusted look.

"Fine. I'm Bailey. Niall's... friend," I say.

"Ok... and?" she says, not wanting to get up and talk to me. I guess I have to do this in front of all her friends.

"Stay away from us. He told me all about what you did," I say smirking as that gets a little bit of a surprised reaction out of her.

"He's lying," she says.

"Like I'd believe you over him," I say crossing my arms. Her friends are staring confusedly now.

"I'm not gonna stay away. I still love him," she says.

"Oh, you will. You don't think I can get scary do you?" I say leaning into a whisper. "You could go to jail for what you did to him. Don't you think that would ruin your future for you? Those shiny ivy league dreams. It would crush your rich parents too. Would they even be able to forgive you? You wouldn't want that huh? So stay. The fuck. Away," I say, all in a menacing whisper.

She doesn't say a thing just glares at me while she packs up her stuff and leaves. I go back to Niall and put my arms around him.

"I don't think she's coming back any time soon," I say, kissing his shoulder.

"She's really gone?" he asks, with a small smile and I nod. He kisses me softly. "Thank you, so much," he says.

"Did you two just kiss?" Liam asks, surprised.

"Uhh... yeah," I shrug and go back to my food. Niall blushes and I chuckle at the adorable boy.

Suddenly Liam's phone rings.

"It's Clara Avington, the woman who works for Simon," he says before answering the phone and putting it on speaker.

"Hey, Clara. You're on speaker with everyone," Liam says.

"Great that makes this easier," Clara says sounding exasperated. "I just got off the phone with Simon and there are a few things he wanted me to let you guys know," she says.

"Oh ok," Liam says.

"First of all, you guys are set to have a finished album in the next month or so. We already have our best writers on writing the album for you," she says.

"Writers? But we have always written our own music," Niall says.

"Well we need to create a pop persona for you so we need the writers," she says, sounding annoyed.

"Oh," Niall says, sounding disappointed.

I know how much he loves songwriting so I put my arm around his shoulders.

"So you'll start recording this week after school," she sighs before continuing. "Second of all, Harry and Louis need to have a... private meeting with Simon as soon as possible," she says, sounding almost... sinister.

"Why?" Harry asks, frowning. Louis grabs his hand squeezing it comfortingly.

"You'll see. You two message me with the times that you're free in the next week and we'll set up a meeting," she says.

"O-ok," Harry says, obviously worried.

"Thanks for letting us know," Liam says but he doesn't sound that grateful.

"Mmhm, we'll talk more later," she says and then just hangs up.

The rest of lunch is awkwardly silent. I don't really know what to say. That was a lot.

As Niall and I walk to his car after school I think about the conversation with Clara at lunch.

"Niall?" I ask stopping him as we get to the car.

"Yeah, Bails?" he asks a small smile on his lips.

"Are you ok with the stuff Clara was talking about over the phone? It seemed like a lot. Do you really wanna be the new popstar?" I ask.

"I... don't know," he says, his smile fading. "I guess I just wish I could just make music instead of having to do all the popstar stuff. But we're extremely lucky to have Simon take us under his wing I just... can already tell it's going to be stressful,"

"Well, I'll be here for you... every step of the way," I say grabbing his hand with a reassuring smile.

"Thank you. You're literally the best," he says, grinning.

"Of course! That's what-" Girlfriends are for? Friends are for? What am I to him? Am I his girlfriend yet? I don't know how this works.

"What?" he asks.

"Nothing," I shake my head. "Are you gonna drive me home or not?" I say with a smirk.

"Oh so you just wanna get rid of me huh?" he chuckles.

"Hey! That's not true and you know it," I laugh.

"Riiiight," he says sarcastically as we get in the car.

When I get home I can't stop thinking about Niall and specifically our relationship. I've never dated anyone before. How do you know when you're like exclusive? Ughh this is too confusing!
