the outdoors ↠ (narry au)

Chapter 3

When the final bell rings I make sure everyone's left before I start to pack up my things. I wait 'till everyone's gone because every time I try and pry myself out of this dumb classroom all at the same time everyone else is, Im getting tossed around. So I'd rather wait until everyones left before I start to leave.

When I'm done putting my stuff away, I walk over to the door to see Jordan already waiting for me.

"Oh Harry," she smiles before we start to walk to the exit.

"Must you wait for everyone to leave?" She questions chuckling a bit.

"Well yeah...otherwise I'd get trampled on." I reply.

"Well wouldn't that be a sight...." She starts to laugh some more bumping shoulders with me.

"Hey...that's not very nice." I shove her as she continues to laugh.

When our laughter dies down a bit I noticed we've made it to my house already. Finally, I've been tired all day. The only thing that really kept me up was thinking about Niall. I don't know why but I'd really like to get to know him a bit more. Maybe it's just a phase.

"Harry...." Jordan snaps her fingers " You coming?" She asks as she opens the door to my house and makes her way inside.

I didn't even notice we've walked that far.

When we're finally inside I look around to see the house completely empty "Gemma?" I yell just to make sure no ones here. I guess she's not. She's probably out with some friends.

As I start to head upstairs I can already hear Jordan complain about my room, which she does every time she comes here. Yah, she's kind of a neat freak.

"Harry you need to clean your room." Jordan smiles looking at my slightly messy bedroom before hopping down onto my bed.

"I know, you remind me literally every day." I throw my backpack in my closet.

"Wouldn't have to if it wasn't so messy." She sassily remarks but I just ignore her as I head over to my window.

When I open the curtains a bit, it's just in time to see a car pull up into the driveway. When a certain blonde hops out of the car I can't help but feel a pang of excitement.

"Harry!" Jordan yells, snapping me back to reality as I get stuck in the curtain.

"Y-yeah I heard you." I put my hands on my hips nervously nodding hoping she wouldn't catch me staring at Niall. She'd make fun of me for days.

"No you weren't you were staring out the window..." She trails off thinking for a bit before asking "Why?" with a sly smirk on her face.

"B-because I like to look at the trees." I nervously put my hands behind my back hoping she won't catch my lie. It wasn't a complete lie though, I mean I love nature it's my go to place, my second home but it wasn't exactly why I was looking (gawking really) outside.

"I know your lying, because every time you lie you put your hands behind your back." She laughs, walking over to me peaking her head out the window.

Luckily he's already left.

"See, l-look at the..." I try but she cuts me off.
