Never Thought It Would Be You (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 44

"Syd" I whispered as I spotted a glimpse of Kelsey's medium blonde hair.

Sydnee looked up from her lecture notes, following my gaze to where the two girls were. Courtney looked back, her long black extensions tied up in a high ponytail, making her natural hair look like dead layers. She nudged Kelsey as she grabbed her Fanta from the vending machine. They both look over at us, their eyes disliking what they see. Kelsey scanned the both of us while Courtney rolled her eyes.

"Take a fucking picture honey, it lasts longer" Sydnee evilly smiled before closing her book, standing up and walking away whilst I followed behind.

"What's their problem?" I ask as soon as we were out of the hall.

"Who knows" she shrugged, "they're just fucked up whores that are taking this too far"

"Indeed"

Today, everyone decided to study since the test is tomorrow. It's only a week or so until the Christmas holidays, which I am overwhelmingly looking forward to. I love Christmas, I love when I get to see my family, they make me feel like I have a family, unlike the way my mum does. Usually, I just catch the train down to where my cousins live while my mum goes on her business trips. I can't even remember a time where she came with me for Christmas, she was always somewhere else. I'm not complaining, oh no I'm not! It's just I don't remember a time where she was actually with me.

I knocked on the door before stepping back as foot steps made its way towards us on the other end.

"Hey, umm, is Ashley here?" I asked as her roommate opened the door.

She shook her head, "no sorry"

"Oh" Sydnee answered, "do you know where she may be?"

"Yeah, I think she's out with Liam"

"Oh ok, thank you" I smiled.

"No problems" she returned before turning around and exiting the hall.

"We should get dinner soon, I'm starving" Sydnee said dramatically as she rubbed her stomach.

I laughed, "ok, first we need to find the boys and Ashley"

"Yeah, true" she nodded, "just text them to meet at our room"

"Yeah, ok" I spoke, taking my phone out and typing out the text before sending it.

'Hey, meet at my room? Syd and I are starving so get your asses over here as fast as you can :)'

We proceeded back to our dorm, sitting down on the beds as we waited impatiently for the rest to arrive.

Sydnee jumped up in glee as she heard the door knock, rushing over and opening it to be greeted by no one. She looked back at me, her face in pure astonishment. I got up, walking over as she picked up a note from the floor. She handed it to me, her features showing curiosity. I unfolded the A4 sheet, big red words sprawled across the page. It took me a few seconds before finally reading the messy writing.

'WATCH YOUR BACK!'

I looked up at Sydnee, her eyebrows scrunched together as she read the paper. She took the sheet from my fingers before scrunching it up and tossing it into the bin.

"Hey!" I snapped as she looked back at me.

"That's fucking scary"

"How? I could've kept that!"

"Someone might be after us, like a ghost or something, or maybe even paranormal shit" she raised her eyebrows.

I stared at her, her face filled with seriousness.
