niall made his way from his literature class to the school parking lot to meet november. she knew how to drive, but she didn't have the money to buy a car just yet, and besides, why buy a car when your boyfriend can drive you around?

on his way there, he saw a group of girls that were pointing at him, textbooks in hand. niall gave them a shy smile and wave and continued walking, only to be confused when they approached him.

"hi! you're niall, right?" the brunette smiled.

"that's me," niall awkwardly laughed.

"our friend, alexa, has a major crush on you and we were all wondering if you would take her out on a date? she's never had a boyfriend before so it would mean a lot to her!" the red head with freckles all over her face gave him a fake smile.

"oh.. well, i'm sorry to disappoint you guys but i have a girlfriend, who i'm very happy with."

the girls looked at each other and frowned, not taking that as an answer.

"he's dating that black girl, remember?" the blonde whispered to the brunette.

"ohh, yes. november, right?" the brunette faked a smile.

"my grandfather says that couples should stay within their own race. it's unnatural to be white and be with anyone but a white person. why would you want to populate and have your children be teased for being mixed?"

niall gave the red head a dirty look, "what kind of bullshit is that? it's 2015, you're acting like it's 1952 or some shit. for your information, my girlfriend is mixed, so fuck you."

"how rude!" the brunette scoffed, backing away.

"you're the ones who are being rude. tell your friend i don't have any interest in her, and i guarantee you a never will," november looked around and mentally face palmed when he saw november walking towards them.

the blonde saw her, and instantly backed away. november stood next to niall and gave him a kiss on the cheek, then eyed the group of girls who were obviously intimidated by her.

"who's this?"

"we're alexa bass' friends. we were just.."

"talking to niall! about.."

"a biology project! we'll be going now."

the group of girls gave niall a dirty look before scurrying off to their dorms. niall wrapped his arm around november's waist and lead her to his car.

"how was your day?"

"interesting," november turned the radio up so she could barely hear what niall was saying.

niall turned the music down, "what's wrong?"

"those girls.. the girl they're friends with likes you."

"and how would you know that?"

"she's bri's new roommate. i don't know her but i just don't.. i sound stupid, i'm sorry."

niall placed his hand on november's thigh, making her relax a bit.

"are you jealous, baby?"

"what? me, jealous? psh.. no."

niall glanced over at her, making her turn her head to look out the window.

"what's there to be jealous of? neither of us even knows what she looks like. i don't even know her, nov."

the couple pulled into the apartment complex parking lot, and parked the car. when they got out, they climbed up the stairs into their apartment and didn't say a word to each other.

november started studying for her upcoming math quiz and niall was reading a book he had to read for his literature class. niall would look up from his book from time to time and just look at november and admire how beautiful she was.

november would catch him staring, so he would pretend like he was reading, but he wasn't fooling anyone.

"i talked to zayn today," november closed her textbook and sat up.

niall looked up from his book, "and?"

"he didn't mean to be rude to you, ni. naughty boy is forcing him to do stuff he doesn't wanna do, which meant kicking you out, i guess."

"naughty boy isn't making him do shit, nov. he's just an asshole and i'm glad i'm not friends with him anymore. let's just not talk about it," niall threw his book on the coffee table and stood up, attempting to walk into the kitchen, but november blocked him.

"don't walk away from me when i'm trying to talk to you."

"why do you insist on bringing zayn up, huh? i'm starting to think you're in love with him or something."

november scoffed, "are you serious? you know i'm only trying to help you."

"don't! i can take care of myself, november. you never know when to stop! let me take care of my own shit."

november was sensitive, niall knew that, and she hated when people yelled at her, even if it was for the smallest thing.

november tried to hold back her tears but she couldn't. niall's face softened, "baby, i didn't mean that.."

he wrapped his arms around her waist and began kissing all over her forehead repeatedly. november sniffled, getting tears and mascara all over the front of niall's shirt, but he didn't mind.

"i know your intentions are good, but just stop looking into things, yeah? i'm fine not being friends with zayn, maybe it was for the best. i don't want to be friends with someone who has disrespected you. you don't deserve that."

"o-okay."

niall pressed his lips to november's, and soon enough, her legs were wrapped around his waist and he was leading her into the bedroom, lips on her neck.

and maybe, just maybe they had made love for the second night in a row, but no one needed to know that.
