I walked hastily out of class but someone grabbed my shoulder. I turned around to see William smiling.

"Hey..." I said nervously. He smiled cheekily.

"hi! I didn't know you took this class." he said sitting down.

Suuuure, I thought.

"Well I have to go." I said walking out quickly. Suddenly I heard a huge thunder crash.

I looked outside to see no Niall.

"Shit!" I said running a hand through my hair.

"Need a ride?" william said walking out. I would've rejected but I needed a ride.

"Thanks." I smiled. He pulled out an umbrella and we ran to his car. He turned on the radio and we started driving once I have him directions.

"So what's your story?" he asked me.

"Well, I'm from Louisiana. Lived in a small town not too far from New Orleans. You know, the place with gumbo and jazz?" I started. He nodded.

"Well, I moved there around when I was 2. Of course I wasn't born there by its my home. I'm originally from New York, but my parents wanted some quite." I said looking out the window.

"So I gradually got involved in singing. I was always an artist. My mom was-"

"was?" he said interrupting me. I felt the tears start to grow in my eyes.

"She died when I was 6." I explained. He looked down ashamed.

"So once I got into art and music, professionally, I wanted to finally live my dreams. See the world. Make my dream a reality. So I found this school. As soon as I applied I got a scholarship. My friends Brittany and Hallie got in too." I said finishing up.

"So what's your story mr. Fake bad boy." I joked.

"Well, I'm from here. Grew up here. Then around 14 I started to travel the world. Give back to the community." he explained.

"That's why you don't have a British accent." I pointed out. His accent was weird. Kind of... Mixed, but it was cute.

"Yea. So I came back last year and started as a freshman and this hear I'm a sophomore." he finished.

"That's nice that you did volunteer work." I smiled. He nodded his answer: no need to thank me.

"Here we are." he smiled pulling up to my flat.

"Thanks.' I said getting out and running inside. I walked into the kitchen and stopped. Niall was sitting there.

"Forget something." i giggled stepping up showing my drenched hair.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! Ive had a lot on my mind." he says throwing a blanket on me.

"It's fine." I smile. He suddenly sits down and I feel worried.

"Claire. We need to talk..."
