Eighteen

You Lied

Merryl's P.O.V

For some reason I feel Kris is hiding something anyway.Even I am hiding one thing and that is I have been thinking of how that Niall guy can be such a flirt with every girl just because he is charming .I know its not fair hiding something from my bestfriend but hey its not a crime.Right from english class to the free period. Wait I din't tell what happend and why do I hate him so much....

** flashback **

Kris went, so I decided to go find my diary and then just go to the library. I walked to my locker and opened it.
"God, there it is right under that pile," I said to myself. I removed the diary while juggling with books.

Few books kinda slipped out of my hands and fell onto the ground.

The blonde guy with blue eyes who was earlier staring at me during class came running to help me out.

"Here you go beautiful,"he said in his thick Irish accent handing me my books.

"Thank you very much, and no I'm not beautiful." I said placing my books in my locker and closing it.

"Of course you are! You are so used to your features that you fail to realise how beautiful you are in the eyes of a stranger." He said. It sounded so cheesy.

"Oh really?" I asked laughing.

He nodded like a kid.

"Well,let me introduce myself, I'm Niall Horan, Football team captain and the heart throb of every girl here. And I'm single, ready to mingle." He said and winked.

"Hold it up Mr.Popular, that's too much flirting for now." I said.

"Okay,Okay." He said smiling and putting his hands up.

"Now tell me your name." He said.

"Merryl Allen, new here so not the most popular girl, and I'm single but NOT ready to mingle." I laughed imitating him.

"That's a nice name. You're new here right?" He asked with a big smile.

I nodded.

"Mind if I showed you around?" He asked.

"Um, I don't even know you. You could be an axe murderer." I told him.

"Right, but no, you can trust me." He said.

"Okay, but promise me NO FLIRTING" I asked him.

"Fine.Deal." he said forwarding his hand for a handshake.

I shook it.

He began walking me around showing me the hang out places around the campus. We were walking around from the gym area to the courts.

"This is where I-" He stopped while checking his phone.

"Where you..?" I asked seeing the expression on his face kinda change."

"Football practice." He said.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"Uh, I have an important meeting rn, can I catch you later?" He asked me.

"Yeah, cool..bye?" Before I could complete he left.

I was walking myself back to the hallway when Evanna called out my name.

"Merryl!" She shouted.

"Evanna, Hi!" I greeted her.

"What was up with you and Mr.popular?" She asked raising her eyebrow.

"Niall you mean?" I asked.

She nodded.

"Oh,nothing. He was just showing me around..." As I was saying she kept looking at me like she felt something was fishy.

"As friends okay!" I told her.

"You sure? Because let me tell you one thing that boy is trouble. He doesn't stick around the same girl too long." Evanna said.

"I don't know..moreover Don't worry babe. I'm not gonna fall for him." I told her.

"Okay then. I gotta run. Toodles." she said.

I raised my eyebrow.

"It means bye." She giggled.

"Oh bye." I smiled.

I was walking past the gym area thinking about the things she just told me about Niall. He seems to be nice.

But, you know the moments when you feel you're right about what a person is like, but they turn out to be just opposite. Yeah, thats what pretty much happened.

I seen Niall. Not alone but with a girl. Making out. And who was that girl? Cady.

I was frozen. I had this weird feeling inside me. I ran. Ran as fast as I could.

This was his important practice? Really, boys are jerks. I thought to myself a

"Merryl?Merryl?" Kris called me.

"Um yeah?" I said snapping back to reality.

"You alright?" She asked in a worried tone.

"Ya I am. Just thinking...." I said.

"About?" She questioned.

"Homework." I quickly responded.

"Oh okay.Lets go check out the football practice." She suggested.

"Erm.okay." I said and thought to myself hopefully Niall wouldnt notice my existence and I would not have to make conversation with him.

We walked to the ground and sat in the ilse watching the practice.
