Just The Underdog (Niall Horan)

Chapter 8

I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off. it was Monday. I work up and hopped in the shower the water woke me up completely. I washed my hair and scrubbed my body before getting put and putting on my black jeans and a t-shirt. I put my white shoes. once my hair was dry I pushed it up. I got my back and headed downstairs. "Morning mum" I said as I stepped of the last stair"Morning Niall how'd u sleep?" she asked setting a plate with pancakes on the table "pretty good and how about yourself" I asked sitting down grabbing a few pancakes and putting them on my plate then putting syrup on them. "I slept great son" she said with a smile as she sat down and got herself some pancakes as well. after we ate I took the plates to the Si k washed them and pit them away. I picked up my bag of the floor "well bye mom off to school" I said heading out the door. I saw Emma across the street waiting for me. once I caught up to her we began to walk to school together hand and hand with our fingers intertwined. once we arrived I saw Jacob and his group of followers. they started me down giving me the 'your dead Horan' look I knew that wasn't good. Jacobs nose was still purple and bruised as was the rest of his face. Emma lead me over to her group of friends "Guys this is Niall we are dating" she said with a smile "hi its nice to meet you" I said waving my hand. they all looked at me until one spoken up "Hi I'm Sophie" she said with a smile "and I'm Jessica I have heard a lot about you Niall you better treat her with respect she really likes you" she said shaking my hand. "of course I will treat her with respect" I said. I looked back and Jacob was walking over here "oh jeeze someone didn't get the message" Jessica said"I'm pretty sure I made the message quite clear" I said mg hands were in tight fists and my jaw was clenched he made his way over "what do u want Jacob" Emma asked "I wanted to apologize for my actions" he said looking at the ground "Jacob that's nice but I am not forgiving you" she said while her friends crossed there arms. my jaw was still clenched and my knuckles were turning white. he looked over at me now "And Horan....I'm sorry to you most of all" he said my fists unclenched and so did my jaw. my eyes grew wide "for what" I asked I was very confused "for always beating the shit out of you....I never thought you had that much fight in you little bud...u really screwed up my face" he said with a nervous laugh. "yeah" I was laughing a little too "I want you to hang with me and the boys" he said tilting his head a little "umm I don't think that's gonna happen" I said. "what not Horan you will never get picked on again! everyone will fear you" he said trying to sound persuasive "I don't want to be feared" I said honestly "yeah Jacob just leave Niall is a nice boy leave him alone!" Emma said "okay just know Horan the offer still stands" he said before he walked away "what a loser" Sophie added before all the girls laughed in agreement.
