Its been 4 days since niall visited my house and stayed there. I've been busy with myself lately, so i absolutely don't have any time to waste with him. The school festival is about to come, and i'd be helping Sherwin, our president, to make this school festival to be a good one, to be the best.

Im stuck here inside the SCAO room, because of the meeting that we are about to have, we made tons of ideas and events that will be held on the school's festival.. But i just can't stop thinking about niall. I want to empty my mind, i want to delete him first so that i can focus.

"niall horan and Rie Stewart, the principal needs you. Go to the principal's office immediately. Thank you." The voice from the speaker made my heart jump and my mind explode. Everybody inside the room looked at me, worried.

"I'm fine everyone.. Uhh.. Sherwin, you can take my plans on my drawer over there, and Kelly, recheck all the senior's suggestion box." I said as i stood up from my seat. "Aye aye boss!" Kelly said with a huge smile on her face. It made me so happy to be working with these guys even though i'm hella stressed out.

I entered the principal's office. Niall was already there, and so is Mr. paeten and the principal. "Its good to see you again, dear." I just smiled and nodded at him as i completely ignored niall and sat next to him. "Youre late Ms. stewart.." The principal stated. "I want to apologize, i was late because of my work for the school's festival." I stated clearly and Mr. paeten accepted my apology.

Niall, in the other hand, was awfully quiet. He looks tired and mean. He feels so distant. I gave him a quick glance but he never looked back.

I get it, he wants this? I'll give it to him.

"Have both of you made a decision?" mr. Paeten asked.. "Yes sir, we are already done packing our stuff and we are ready to live in one house." I stated. "Very well then.. Thank you so much.. mr. Horan and Ms. Stewart." He tries to hide a very big smile, i can feel him very happy. "This is for the family of yours, sir. I dont want anyone having a hard time when i'm involved." I said. As i patted his shoulder.

"Everything will be fine, sir." Niall stated, as i turned to face him and he didnt even had the time to look at me.

Bitch.

and so, that's that. niall and i are moving in by tomorrow, and this is to be kept as a secret to the whole school. Niall is ignoring me, while im busy as fuck. We are about to have neighbors too. How great is this?
So great.

Niall and i walked outside the principal's office. He looked at me and i looked at him. "Niall-" i was interrupted by another girl's voice. "Ui niall! Fancy seeing you here!"

What?

"Oh! Hey! Casey!! Nice to see you again!" Niall looked at my back as he walked passed me, i stood there, completely frozen. I began to scratch my wrist, as i walked forth and heard their conversation.. Niall was happily talking to her.

I touched my hair and began to scratch my right wrist again, i have a tendency before when i was 13, i scratch my wrist till it bleeds. And i can't believe that it's coming back.

Am i a ghost? Was i completely ignored? Is this a dream?

I walked inside the girl's comfort room and shut the door behind me and entered a cubicle. I sat there.. Still and i shut my eyes.

This is not me, this is not rie. Niall changed me, i have never done scratching wrists ever since i was 15.. Why is my heart so heavy?

I asked myself multiple times.. As i was confused as fuck, because this never happened to me. I have never felt this was towards anyone.
