Chapter 1

Juliet’s POV

I couldn’t breathe.  The walls seemed to be closing in on me.  I was scared.  Mr. Malley had just told us we had to give and oral report about our favorite hobby.  I was already the geek.  My hobbies included reading and playing the piano. That’s right. I’m not just the smart geek, but the band geek.  I was sick and tired of getting judged for my hobbies.  At least there was one person who wouldn’t judge me; Niall.

I was extremely shy too. That’s why this whole oral report thing was scaring me so much.  What if I mess up and look like a doof in front of the whole class?  Oh no. And we had to make EYE CONTACT. Scarier.

“Juliet?” Mr. Malley asked.  It was then that I noticed I was panting like a dog and scraping my fingernails against the desk. 

“Um, I fine. Just nervous about the report that’s all.” I said in a tone that didn’t even convince me I was fine.  I wasn’t.

Rrrrrrrring! Thank Goodness! Saved by the bell.  On to lunch.  So now I can put that thought into the back of my mind and focus on food.  Yay!

 I walked outside and there was Niall waiting for me. Best boyfriend ever!!!! Niall has already graduated and is on break from touring with One Direction.  I, sadly, am still in school.  I’m only a sophomore but Niall told me age was just a number.  The day he asked me to be his girlfriend.  I remember it like it was yesterday. Because it was yesterday.

*Flashback*

I woke up to the sound of rain and thunder. Great! It was obviously a sign of a bad day.  And Niall had promised me a picnic in the park. So much for that.

Niall was my best friend.  I knew him before he was famous.  I actually lived by him until 5th grade when my dad got a job in the US. We just moved back a year ago.  When I told Niall we were coming back, as we still kept in contact, he was ecstatic. I was too. As he had grown he had gotten cuter and cuter. I’ll admit I had HUGE crush on him.  But I didn’t dare tell anyone, except for my best friend Delilah, who I tell everything too.  She thought he was cute too but she knew she would have to fight me for him.

Delilah’s parents were getting a divorce and she couldn’t handle living with them fighting all the time so after I got permission from my parents, I told Delilah she could move to Ireland with us. I think Delilah was just excited because she would get to meet Niall. But back to today.

I took a quick shower then went downstairs to get breakfast.  The smell of bacon and eggs was wafting from the kitchen as I approached it.  There was Niall, hovering over the stove, cooking bacon and eggs.

“How did you get in here?” I asked.  He nearly jumped out of his skin and I fell on the floor laughing. “Don’t scare me like that!” he yelled. Then Delilah came running down.  “What’s all the ruckus?” she said sleepily.  “Sorry Ly, didn’t mean to wake you up.” I said apologetically. “I’m makin breakfast if you want some.” Niall said to Ly and me.  It wasn’t directed entirely towards me, but I screamed yes too.

After we finished breakfast, Niall offered to take us shopping.

“But it’s pouring down rain.” I said. “Oh well!” he said and before we knew it we were on our way to the mall.  Delilah decided to go to “Bed Bath and Body Works” while I stayed with Niall.

I was so nervous.  I really liked him but I didn’t know if he liked me back. As I was thinking we arrived at the food court.  I was so deep in thought I didn’t even realize where he was taking me.
