Luck and Laughter (Niall Horan fanfiction)

Chapter 5 - Phones and Plans

Amy’s POV

                I walked through my door to find a note saying my dinner was in the microwave. As my food was heating I got lost in thought. What had just happened? Had Niall Horan just told me he wanted to call me? But what were the chances he would, I mean, I was nothing special. All I had done was make him laugh a few times during a car ride. Was that really enough to get his attention? But his laugh was fantastic, so jubilant and contagious. And his eyes were so blue, but not a washed out blue like some people had. They were deep, full of life. I tried to recall the exact color but my mind was failing me. I sighed because I knew I would never see them again. It just wasn’t possible that he would actually call me. I jumped as the timer went off. I ate my food quickly and dragged myself upstairs to my bed; it had been a long day.

                I woke up the next day to an annoying buzzing sound. I groaned as I realized I had left my phone in my bag across the room and my alarm was going off. I had forgotten to turn it off because even though today was Monday I didn’t have school. Some sort of professional development day or something. I slumped out of bed to shut it off and climbed back into the warm covers immediately falling back asleep.

Bzzz bzzz I swear I turned that thing off! I glanced at the clock and realized it was 11:23. Hmm that wouldn’t be my alarm then. Confused, because all of my friends always slept until at least 1pm on days off, I rolled over to look at my phone.

From Niall – Wazzzzzzup punkin pie?@?? Do you love me cos I love you. I can’t stop talking about you to all the boyz and I keep annoying them with questions about relationships….love me! love me!!!

                Just as I finished reading that text another one came through.

From Niall – Please ignore that Amy. Harry and Louis stole Niall’s phone and I couldn’t get it back before they sent the message. This is Liam by the way :)

                I was embarrassed for Niall but at the same time I was sort of anxious about being a topic of discussion amongst them. What were they saying about me? But perhaps a more pressing matter: how do I respond?

To Niall – okay Liam haha I’ll try my best to ignore it but I’m not making any promises :P

                I hope that response wasn’t too weird. Was it too weird? I think it was weird. Oh god why?

From Niall – haha you’re a funny one…I should put Niall’s phone back before he gets out of the shower…He’d probably die if he knew those guys sent that. See you!

                “See you”? Did he say “see you”? Does that mean I was somehow going to be meeting them again….no no no, c’mon Amy, that’s just how people say goodbye. It meant nothing. But Harry and Louis had sent that message. So for some reason I was a topic of discussion.

                I figured I had gotten enough sleep so I headed downstairs for some cereal. I was just finishing up when my phone vibrated again. I was curious who was texting me this time but then I realized it was a call…from Niall. Oh god, oh god! I knew I had to pick it up, I didn’t want to be rude just because I couldn’t get myself together.

                “Hello?” My voice sounded normal. That was an accomplishment.

                “Hi, It’s Niall….but you probably already knew that with caller ID and stuff…” I could almost hear him rolling his eyes at himself.

                “Yeah sorta.” I chuckled, he had no idea that Liam had just rescued his phone from Louis and Harry. Liam had probably been smart enough to delete the messages. “Uhmm, what’s up?” I wasn’t really sure what to say.
